His confusion is understandable. He can’t count with his shoes on, and he can’t add worth a Shi’ite.

But he’s an expert at “division”!

“Do they choose leaders, doctors, engineers, ect. simply on race?”
Uh……..THEY DO!! If they want to see a REAL racist they only need to look in the mirror; anywhere!!

William “Cold Cash” Jefferson D-La is now available for a cabinet post. Maybe as Special Prosecutor for the Blagovich Senate Seat Sale Scandal. LMAO Think the CBC would go for THAT one?!

I think you’re forgetting Obama’s “symbolic” gesture of reaching out to a white conservative in Pastor Warren. That will probably give him credibility for years to come.
Personally, I wish he had chosen to go hunting with Dick Cheney as a gesture instead.

“These people are irony proof.”

Just wait till I unveil the Miss White America pageant.
That should send em over the edge, *slinks away quietly*

Thanks SJ.
I often wonder if idiots such as the members of the black caucus wander around in hospitals when they are in dire need of medical care asking,

” Wheres a black doctor, I want a black doctor”
None available sir.
“Racists, You keeping da black man down.”

Do they choose leaders, doctors, engineers, etc. simply on race?
The simple answer is, they just elected a man to the highest office in the land, under just that standard.

This is the mentality of bigots, they hate simply because of skin color.
The black caucus in its own name screams racism.
In fact, its also a disgusting habit.
Miss black America.
Black history month.
Kwanzaa.
Black awareness, and on and on.
How small do you have to feel about your own self worth, to actually advertise it so blatantly?

What does Bill Clinton have to say about this? I mean….he WAS the 1st black President.
Maybe Bill can confer with Barrys’ black side!! Then we will be able to see the WHOLE picture.(in Black & White, of course)

I am sure many black Americans in primarily urban black areas are still wainting patiently for their CBC elected officials to start doing something for these areas.

Rangel’s district includes Harlem – where a revitalization started in the 1990’s… until they saw too many “non black faces” opening up stores, buying properties, renovations, etc. Knee jerk racism – and the revitalization is dead, except for the lucky who were able to sell remade properties to black investment groups, where alas – many have fallen back into squaller. Sort of like Obama’s own Chicago housing/urban revitalization, education, blah blah “accomplishments”

10,000 years of human history have led me to conclude a few things:
Blacks want autonomy from whites, even if it canabilizes their own
The ability to inovate, lead and flourish is not in their DNA
The majority of the world’s blacks run around in a loin cloth hoping to find water, while still dying en masse due to genocide or 500 year old diseases

Racism? Nope, just reality.

The victim mentality is both taught and expected from one generation of blacks to another. Its pathetic “whitey is always to blame” tripe will always occur, with little or no results. Ultimatley, the CBC, blacks in the world and America are hoping for the impossible. Blacks are not born leaders nor have they produced any significant results in the past 10,000 years.

They are not capable of it. 10,000 years of history tells me so.

I posted essentially the same thing earlier, but hadn’t considered your point about not needing to pay anything back for the black support. The way he treats his African relatives should have been clue enough, though.

I agree it’s wrong to expect tokenism at the Cabinet level, but the CBC does have a point in some respects. Bush had a more diverse Cabinet than Obama does so far. Obama’s white half is showing a lot in his appointments–and his advisers and transition team members, not to mention donors. The truth is that Obama doesn’t need to do anything for black voters because the black voters always vote Democrat.
