TRUE DAT

p.s.: nathan petrelli is gonna be the “potus” in heroes (:

Actually what a rubbish one.

Skin tone is only part of what evokes a race based reaction.

McCain still looks like a Caucasian, albeit one who has spent a week in a tanning machine.

Obama still looks like an African-American, albeit one who has bleached his skin.

If this was a valid attempt to test race based reactions then their face shapes should have been edited, i.e. cheekbones, nose shapes, lips, etc.

Oh and congratulations to everybody who instead of commenting the picture, decided to rant and rave politically.

A note – it is a proven scientific fact that brain logic centers switch off when debating political issues if the subject identifies too closely with a given political view. Obama is not the Messiah, McCain is not the Devil, Obama is not a terrorist and McCain is not Bush II.

You’re like the lady at my office that talks aobut her bladder problems loud enough for everyone to hear. Both of the things you have to say make everyone, even those that sympathize with you, around you cringe.

You’re as asinine as those idiots who booed during McCain’s speech last night everytime he mentioned Obama.

Well I have never seen a white man
And I have never seen a black man
Never met a yellow woman
Not a purple, red or blue man

Chorus:
We are all just different shades of brown
Dark and light, not black or white
We stand on common ground

Well I have never seen a green man
No, no orange, no tangerine man
I know at times we’ve all been blue, man
But it seems to me we’re all just human! (Chorus)

Maybe on the chessboard–the pieces are black and white
Maybe on the keyboard–the keys are black and white
Are ya livin’ in your left brain–where black and white are found
Well move into your right brain–Where all are shades of brown
(Chorus)

Whatever skin tone on the outside
Whatever differences we can’t hide
Remember every human worldwide
The blood runs red here on the inside (Chorus)

Socialism is BAD people! It punishes those who are successful and rewards those who are lazy. Less taxes on corporations are a GOOD thing. Who do you think employs you? What creates jobs in this country? Corporations do. If they get taxed more, they will NOT just take that out of their profits… it will be passed along to consumers through higher prices and through cost cutting by layoffs/hiring freezes. Especially in the current economic environment. That affects people like you and me.

This current trend towards the government acquiring stock in the major banks scares me. This whole bailout deal is a case of certain members of our government taking advantage of a tough situation. The government owning portions of capitalist institutions is straight out of the socialist playbook. Do you really want the government in control of your 401k/Mortgage?

Let those banks fail… serves them right for taking chances with risky investments. New ones will see the opportunity and rise to fill the gaps. We don’t need a ‘nanny’ state taking care of our every need. Don’t take handouts from the government… it doesn’t help you in the long run. What helps you is if government assist you in getting a job. It’s old adage: ‘Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Show a man how to fish, feed him for a lifetime.’ America is the only place in this world where this concept rings true, at least so far.

If Obama is elected, we are one more step away from these ideals. No one in the House or Congress will oppose him.

therealmccain.com focus on a big issue in my eye : the Republican campaign focused more on negative hype (why you shouldn’t vote for Obama) rather than explaining why people should vote for them. It’s going to hurt them.

I just wonder if they’d still say that in some places if Obama becomes President…

What if McCain said “Typical black person” when speaking of a family member?

What if McCain had met with a terrorist in a board meeting?

What if McCain’s wife said that she was proud of her country for the first time in her life?

What if McCain’s preacher of 20 years preached on how evil America was?

Sad to say republican policies won’t help many black people whereas democrat policies will help many white people. (not all in either case of course, but proportionally I don’t think you’d find as many african americans that would be helped by McCain’s policies as you would anglos that would be helped by Obama’s.)

Isn’t the person who did this asking for white people to not vote McCain just because he’s white? LOL How lefty of him!

And how condescending to the apparently vast number of white Americans who have been pro-obama for months and months now.

Or is he perhaps trying to get black people to look at the issues rather than just voting obama? Now, THAT would have been interesting.

Somehow, I doubt it is aimed at blacks. (Google Howard Stern’s Harlem interviews if you haven’t heard about them.) Black people who think Palin is obama’s VP voting black is fine, no prob. Black for black, that’s cool.

(I am not saying that all black people are voting for obama. But everyone knows that many are.)

But whites voting WHITE isn’t cool, is it. Obviously. That is racist. Uh huh. Downright racist.

Double standards.

Barack Obama is very, very smart, has worked his whole life to help people, is intellectually curious and willing to seek guidance, and is shockingly lifelike as presidential candidates go. I also take no small measure of joy in the fact that tomorrow, we will have a president who breaks open the greatest shame of our country (slavery and racism) and, by his very presence and excellence, deals a huge blow to the vile chords of same that still run rampant through our society.

Tomorrow will be a great, great day. Thanks to all of you who are helping to make it happen.

Yeah in the senate those 49 democrats sure outnumbered the 49 republicans… oh.. nevermind.

This time, I’m going to vote with my brain. (I can hear the disparaging comments already for saying that)
I believe that if both candidates had the same skin color, this election wouldn’t even be close enough to be called a race.

This is a sad commentary on the American public. I am going to vote for change, & I encourage all of you who are voting republican, to vote conscientiously and to change your vote to <3Kucinich<3.

Ponder the following:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three-month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife, who not only became addicted to pain killers, but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn’t read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama had discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama’s family had made their money from beer distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
