I just wish they hadn't run Rep. J.C. Watts out of politics.
The NAACP made some rather disparaging remarks about Rep. Watts (who is black, so they SHOULD be defending him, not attacking him), and he basically got so disgusted with it he left politics completely.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Has anyone heard these tapes yet? If you believe Mrs. Obama speaks
English with a heavy accent, then you might fall for this drivel. Too dumb
for words.![]()

So if you heard the "tapes" at least give a clue where you heard them or you are talking out of your posterior. Again.
The BS about BO's CLB could very well be BH, its just odd that presenting a CC of the CLB is so difficult to produce. BO even recently went back to HI, he could have sent one of his disciples to retrieve it for him. Nor should be hard to prove he was never a citizen of Indonesia, or if he was that he reafirmed his USA citzenship by the age of 18.
I have to wonder if the Clinton's are funding Berg and his lawsuit.
You are right, I am offended IF someone {anyone} gets into college, just because their parents went there. Only if they work for it, and deserve it.
Just like I believe that NOONE should get something for nothing. Noone should get college scholarships, based on race. In my mind, race= nothing. It means nothing to me. I love my race, I hope that others love theirs. BUT it should NOT entitle ANYONE to ANYTHING, IMO.

:And yes, you are naive if you believe most people get hired because of their qualifications. They get hired because of where they went to school, who they know, how well they interview, how well they dress, and ...yeah qualifications:
Almost all of the above is what I define as qualifications... Schooling, interview, dress... The only I dont is who they know...

Hey, minorities get into college for free... ISNT that on a HIGHER playing field ? An unfair advantage?? My parents and myself have to pay for my schooling, work hard EVERYDAY, but someone else, can just get in for free? That is not equal OR fair to me...
Edited to add: And no, myself or my family has never been on ANY government assistance. I believe that people who TRULY need it should get it.
Thank you so much Michelle!![]()
Please be responsible, spay and neuter your pets!
I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!
I can kinda agree to this. Ive worked for 7 electrical shops since 1992, only 2 of my bosses appreciated my skill and knowlege of the trade. I wear shorts most of the year, I might shave once a month, usualy longer between shaves and when I do I usually shave my head at the same time, I have 5 tattoos, my tounge is pierced, and I have a tendancy to be harsh and abrasive. For a number a years after I started running my own crew I had a mohawk, before and after my USMC experience. No matter how many times I proved myself, 5 companies judged me by my dress and appearance not my qualifications.
I have seen people with connections in the construction trades get a pass on their skills, their knowlege, and their dealings with homeowners and builders time after time for many reasons, who their parents are, who they know, and their ethnicity are just 3 examples. Only 2 of the companies Ive worked for respected my skill and knowlege of the trade. I am now slower then the younger crews, and I found out from my now dead bosses wife how much he respected my knowlege and skills. I do things right the first time and make no excuses for the few times I do eff up, heck Im the first to admit Ive effed up. Alot of the guys Ive worked with over the years will throw someone else under the bus to make themselves look better and try and move up when things get effed up or just take more time then expected.
The fact that the Obama camp preemptively played the race card, to me, says alot about his character. The people he associated with for years and now suddenly are distant or casual acquaintances speaks alot about his character as well.
So until I hear or read first hand the interview, see a judgement in Bergs lawsuit, and heck lets toss in Michelle Obama's college thesis as well, BO's character is very questionable.

I am glad to hear no one in your family has ever received unemployment insuance or social security. Those are government assistance programs many people take advantage of at some time!
There are many programs -- scholarships, grants, assistance -- available to people who are white. There are scholarships for people who are left-handed, whose foreparents came from Slovenia -- all kinds of things. I just hired a young woman who went to an excellent school -- full ride -- because she is a good softball player.
Is that fair? Not if you are right handed -- or your foreparents came from Croatia -- or if you are very uncoordinated.
Fair is when I get what I want. Unfair is when I don't. Really unfair is when someone else gets what I want.
But I must ask...you love your race? I can understand loving your pets, your spouse, your children, your family...but your race?? What is it about your race that you love?
