An odd puzzle

Obama wishes to express a modest reservation on a procedure that happens 2% of the time in abortion terms.

McCain wish to ban 100% of all abortions.

So, what do these Clinton cult wack people do?

Blame the black guy of course.

Yer professional shucker/jiver checks in

shuckin' 'n' jivin' as usual.

This will help Obama. We do NOT want Jesse Jackson or any Professional Black Whiner in the White House.

FISA is done

Time to elect Obama.

We cannot undo FISA without Obama in the WH.

No more FISA please.

Professional Black Whiners

are not acceptable.

Nope, Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson is not helpful. Nor is Al "Tawana" Sharpton. And, no, I don't think Obama owes them much. The professional black whiner, still wearing his chains, and complaining about the treatment of his great-great-great-great-grandfather six times removed, is a repugnant figure.

I am not interested in listening to these jokers. Jackson's sad little story has been told. He should sit down and shut up. He has nothing of value to contribute.

If Professional Black Whiners like Jackson or Sharpton or any other Professional Black Person can reduce Obama to being a Black politician, Obama is not going to be elected. We white guys do not want to listen to that blackness crap anymore.

If you want Obama elected, DO NOT reduce him to being MERELY BLACK. That's a loser for sure.

Inner Bill Cosby

"Jackson was talking about Obama chanelling his inner Bill Cosby and lecturing black men on Father's Day from a church pulpit."

Hey, good idea.

With about 80 % of the black babies being born to single moms, a WHOLE BUNCH MORE BLACK GUYS should listen to Cosby.

There is a lot of pathology in the black family today, and somebody needs to remind people that 80 % of single moms is NOT a good thing.

@kstone

You sound like a Professional Black Whiner yourself.

Nope, we don't want no professional black guys. I am interested in a good guy, not a professional black guy. If you and the other race baiters reduce Obama to black, he's dead.

Professional Black Whiners

"It is so easy to pretend that the ills that affect Black communities somehow happened in a vacuum, as if we came here of our own free will,"

Well, it's time to grow up and quit the Black Whining. In point of fact, you and I both came here the same way, out of our mommy's li'l vagina thingie. You were not a slave. Your mommy was not a slave. Her mommy was not, nor her mommy's mommy.

In point of fact, many white people were slaves too.

It is time to quit the whining. The black community had better look deep within its soul, because there are SERIOUS problems. I have not been fucking any black girls and making them pregnant. it appears to be MOSTLY black guys.

What is it with you guys? Didn't your mommy teach you ANYTHING about responsibility? It sure wasn't my mommy. I learned how to be responsible.

Why didn't so many black guys?

And don't call me no racist. I see what I see every day on the metro. I didn't get them girls pregnant. Must have been somebody.

@kstone

Man, you are just like a little clock, just chucking out the standard lines 1,2,3...

"They are born into poverty because their parents are poor and they would very likely be born into poverty even if their parents were married and they are very likely going to stay poor regardless of whether their parents were, are or will be married."

Well, you wrong 'bout 'dat, my homey. Study after study shows that the quickest way to increase your net worth is to get two earners for one family. And, here's the kicker: When you got one momma making minimum wage with three kids all failing algebra, who has time to help with the homework?

All of your whining and bitching and moaning and useless excuses do not cover up the FACT that single motherhood is THE cause of black poverty today, and the reason why the shiftless black populace WILL NOT amount to a hill of shit for the foreseeable future.

you guys should listen to Bill Cosby. He is worth about 100 billion dollars. Maybe he know something, eh?

What black people think and what white people think

I'm white. I always been white, and I probably will remain white for the foreseeable future.

When I see Barack, I see a guy who 1) worked hard and did well in school 2) cares about his community 3) married well, and has a hot wife with 2 kids who seem to be good kids and 4) has done well.

What do black folks see? Apparently they see someone who is not "authentic", someone who is .... "acting white." Yup, Barack has succeeded, and that is "acting white." Yup, Barack is married, and that too is "acting white." He takes care of his children, and that apparently too is "acting white."

Seems like he is acting like a man, not a white man or a black man, but just a man. He takes care of his family.

I guess his other sin, in the eyes of the PBW (Professional Black Whiner) is that he had the chutspah, the temerity, the SHEER UTTER GALL to call out his lazy, shiftless, crack-dealing brothers, and say that maybe there is a problem here.

Quite frankly, the problem is that kstone and the other PBW see a problem. SOmeone has to call out the black community. If I did it, I would be called a racist. Obama and Cosby do it, and they are called Uncle Toms and other such trash.

The black community has never been sicker, and somebody had better call out that, before the entire black side of society falls into an abyss.
