Nolio, your first post may make sense in a discussion about allegations of police rascism or discrimination in job selection or some other allegation which has a chance of actually being true and which many people genuinely feel they have been the victim of, and things which were state endorsed until as recently as the 1960s in the USA. However, when the allegation is so outlandishly nonsensical as that the government introduced weapons, drugs and HIV into black communities it doesn't really work to say only certain people will understand.

I suspect Kal-el is actually just winding everyone up here. When I say I suspect, I really mean I hope...

" If you're not of a certain race, class or religion, etc. you're not going to understand them. Its just as simple as that. "

I call bullshit.

If black people feel the way cloud and nolio do, then I guess white and black people generally do not have mutual interests.

"But I won't claim to understand europeans and how they feel about Americans because I'm not European"

but you already did that.

" you can't understand a person until you walk in their shoes"

more bs. it is just liberal propaganda to make people feel better about themselves and the world. so they think, well, he must of had a just reason to do this. to make everyone seem inherently good, so that they're willing to give 50+% of their money to scumbags and crooks.

"Unless skoe, avo, you guys can say that you know what its like to be gay?"

just because we think we can understand what its like to be someone of a different race, does not mean we must understand what its like to be every human on earth.

lol well there's nothing else to say then =p

In any case, gonna get some food. That's more interesting than this

To quote my former boss:

History has been made! The first black president in the United States of America. a beacon of hope; an inspiration to most. Son of the soil-an African-American in the true sense of the term. A MAN amongst men... man enough to win a campaign by selling himself, and not by slandering his oponent. Perseverance personified. "Yes! We can..."
Yes we can? We who? Can what? its interesting to see that Obama says WE not I. Even more interesting are the throngs that join in the chorus, chanting in unison, yes we can! The mere mention of this phrases bouys the down-trodden spirit of the underdog to dizzying heights; takes us to the mountain top or the hills that Martin Luther King Jr spoke of... By any means necessary brother Malcolm.

So I take it now that one of "us" is in power, this means that the black man's burden will be alleviated, right? Or is this just a status symbol? U know, like our sistaz with their $500 Gucci and Prada bags that contain vanity & poverty? Trickling down the line, what does a black president do for us, for "US" and for the U.S. ???
Lets take a look at some of the hypo's: the hypothesis & the hypothetical as well as the HYPERthetical...

* Black men make up the majority of prison population
* Inner city poverty
*AIDS, high blood pressure,etc
*Unemployment
*Racism & the stereotypes
*etc... (feel free to add)

So wat is the Obama plan to this sh&t? General amnesty like the one looming at Gitmo? Reperations for the hood? Secret service agents who will monitor your sexual activities and surrepticiously slip a rubber on the wayward penis or keep that vajayjay in lockdown? What about that 'Reparations' tune that was a-murmuring a while back? Do I see Dave Chappelle being called in to be Minister of Racial Affairs? ( u know the Chappelle show episodes gave some great ideas on how to handle this). Will we willingly stay in school and educate ourselves so we stand a chance at better jobs, simply because a 'brutha' is in? I see it now... we will be served first, everyone will be polite & fair to us. We will eat less greasy food, and work out more.

All I want to know my people is... What wil Obama do for us that we couldnt do for ourselves before????

Prisons are full, but its less than 5.697% of the inmates that are really a victim of "the babylon system". Lets face it, I dont think white men encouraged us to shoot each other becoz "he done stepped on my jays", or keep it real and gangsta by carrying unlicensed, concealed weapons. Wait a minute, all his was done by our very own role models... the rap stars. The same people that perpetuate the cycle of ill treating women. Yes, those clowns that encourage us to spend the little we have on brand name goods that do little to alleviate the poverty we are in- on the contrary...

"All I want to know my people is... What wil Obama do for us that we couldnt do for ourselves before????"

Lol Nothing except set the example. It's up to us to follow it.

He's your nigga? He's mixed race. Lil light skinned for my area. I think I'll call him whitey from now on for trying too hard and denying his heritage. That's some shameful stuff, that.

He'll do nothing but set an example? That's his job as President? What's his example? Marry rich? Make friends with bombers if it is politically expedient? Go to a racist church that teaches you to be a victim if it is politically expedient? Deny that one of your parents is white and that's the one that raised you because an ignorant audience will ignore this if you're mixed race and own your blackness?

Well the fact is is that Obama would have never ascended to the presidency without the support of white elites, and obviously his actions suggest he's motivated by power and therefore loyal to those elites.
