I got a little bit more out of it than that but i would hope that she voted for him for more than that reason alone.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy

that's all i expected ppl like you to get from it.
people like me huh? I guess that makes you a racist.
All she kept going on about was how she was so glad to be voting for a black man for president. I know she lived throgh some of the darkest days of our country, but those days passed about 40 years ago. If she hasnt been able to move on by now then she is no better than the ignorant rednecks of the KKK.
lol, i'm a racist for telling it like it is? ok.
let me break it down into terms you might understand....
PEOPLE LIKE YOU = PEOPLE WHO CAN'T RELATE
to compare her to the KKK is just ignorant. let's take a 40yr old woman, who was raped and beaten by her father for the first 18yrs of her life. if she has disdain for her father (or men in general), would you say she's no better than her father for not getting over it?
ok, so those days passed about 40yrs ago....how old was she 40yrs ago? i'll tell you, 68. so for the first 68yrs of her life she was never able to vote, run for a political office, drink from the same water fountain as whites, sit in the front of a bus, go to school with white ppl, and her kids, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. experienced the same thing because of their skin color. finally, after 106yrs of living...she may have the opportunity to see a black man become president. how does being able to see and enjoy an advancement in CIVIL rights make her ignorant?
you made a post a few weeks ago stating that "ppl don't know what i go through...." and i felt compassion and could relate to what you were saying. i even attempting to provide you with a few positive words of advice. lately, it seems more like you're living up to all of those things you were ever accused of, and wearing your ignorance on your sleeve. i took you to be one of the more "intelligent & respectable" individuals on this site...maybe i'm wrong. for me to even have to explain this to you is ridiculous.
A lot of people will only get the superficial part of it. If you start to think about how the turn of the century was in terms of civil rights maybe that'll help you to understand. You don't have to be black to realize that. Think about it, this woman was born in 1902 or so, black people were barely allowed to vote then although the law was passed in 1870, it was still not easy getting to the polls (use your imagination).
even RedGt gets it, i think. LoL
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
