Again I state that I don't/didn't mean all. And I didn't edit that post you quoted, either. I was going to say one thing and reversed myself and didn't correct. I didn't mean most blacks voted due to race. I meant a shitload did. All the videos, interviews, reports and other outlets have shown me this.

I agree. But as long as he speaks to these children about their education and ONLY their education, then I don't really see that much of a problem with it. If he starts bringing in non-educational subjects, then he's crossing the line.

I was raised exactly the same. But not everyone is. And not every child responds to the lessons that we were taught either. You know there are a lot of idiots out there whom I'm sure weren't taught to be idiots as children/growing up. They just did whatever anyway. They were peer-pressured anyway. I teach the same morals, kindness, values and all that to all my children. But that doesn't guarantee that they will grow up the way I'd like to see. I can only hope, man. Hope you see where I'm going with this.

To me, I'll just see how this plays out. I can envision monitors all over the place with "heads of states" blaring directives at us telling us every move, you know, lolol. <---- I don't mean it literally or think that's going to happen, but this is the first thing that pops in my mind.
Tony, ask Baby J, he knows who I am (in reality) when it comes to race, he'll tell you that I don't have to shoot from the hip on things. I did vote for Obama. Sometimes I question my vote. But he's my President and I respect him because I respect America. Later, QD.
