If you knew about him you wouldnt have answered my question with.. a question. He's a pretty significant figure in history, I'm disappointed.Originally Posted by redrumracer
J. Edgar Hoover claimed to be white, absolutely hated Martin Luther King Jr. but he denied the heritage of his biological father who was black. It is his right to do so but its just another example that your heritage is not subject to perception.. it is what you deem it to be.
Giselle claims to be brazillian but has parents of German descent due to the part of Brazil she is from.. is she German because you say so?
Either way, this is dumb and my last reply on the subject.

yea i didnt feel like looking into his heritage cause i was pretty sure you know the answer already but then yes even if he denies his fathers heritage then he is still mixed. and no if her parents are from brazil then you have your answer there.Originally Posted by tony
and even if obama had committed a crime i would still have the same views on his ethnicity, what he does doesnt change that.
na i just wanted to see if you would go look for more. there was no logic behind the yes lolOriginally Posted by BobbyFresh

there is no doubt that ignorant voters are everywhere and on both sides, but i believe the majority of obama's voters were uneducated on his policies. McCain may have his ignorant group as well, but its much smaller.

If it were only one person, then I could care less. But in all honesty, I've found very few, and most are actually on here, Obama supporters that I've spoken to personally that handled the simple, "Why are you voting for Obama?" question with some sense of intelligence. I asked many, many people that same question when they expressed they were an Obama supporter. No lie, outside of IA, about 95% of those asked couldn't give a valid reason that didn't sound like a canned infomercial they'd heard on TV the day before.Originally Posted by BobbyFresh
This is what I'm basing my opinion on. Not just one person, but many. If that is any indication of the nation as a whole, then you can see why I'm saying what I'm saying. I mean, look at the Howard Stern video. I even saw a TV show where they asked young COLLEGE students just coming out of big "Vote or die" type rallies put on by the Democratic party to get students to register to vote where they asked simple questions like "How many states are in the U.S.?" or "How many Senators do we have?" or "Who is the Secretary of State?"......and the vast majority of students that had just finished this ra-ra rally and registered to vote for the first time COULD NOT ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY. Now, look at the FACT that 60+% of voters in the 18-29 range voted for Obama last night.......Put two and two together.
I think what we really need to get this country ahead is to only let semi-educated voters vote. Make people take a test BEFORE their ballot is counted. We test teens BEFORE letting them drive, right? Yet, we let those same teens/young adults vote w/o being able to know that we have 50 states and 100 Senators?????![]()
Yeah, BUSH is the only thing wrong with America.......![]()

Funny, cause when you look at the exit polls those that voted for Obama were more likely to have a Bachelors degree. You really think those rural voters could pass a voting test?
Anywho, can I also say that those people who say they're not going to work any more due to Obama were already LAZY ASSES and didn't need Obama to bring it out of them. Just an observation.

I've know ppl that have degrees that have no concept of politics or current events so yea. That notion makes zero sense.
It makes perfect sense. I didn't say just test black people. Give EVERYONE a test on general political knowledge and the policies being covered. This will root out general ignorance no matter what their ethnicity.Originally Posted by BobbyFresh
i could say the same about some McCain supporters that fed into all that scare tactic bullshit..calling him a terrorists best friend, and being muslim(Amazing how being muslim makes you a terrorists and a bad person in the eyes of a good majority of americans..I'm glad Yousef hasn't been alienated yet by some of you jackasses....Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900
In this day,it seems people would rather size up the candidate by his followers/fan club rather than the candidate himself..and that applies to both parties..
and Jamie, i'm kind of surprised at ya dude..You know education in this country was already a joke long before Obama/McCain started running..American kids/students are dumb as a whole...THey know more about whose winning on American Idol rather than actual issues going on in the world..Let alone our own friggin backyard
Wow, just WOW at this thread, lol.
I cannot even forumlate the response that I want, because articulating it on a web forum is pointless.
Some of the comments here are outrageous!
Lol @ BobbyFresh in regards to Obama's ethnicity/race/color. If Obama were to commit a major crime right now, ALL OF AMERICA would consider him a black man. Now that he is the President elect, he is bi-racial, lol. Fucking America.
I TRULY hope that many of the responses in this thread are ignorant due to anger, not real feelings.
Spews, no particular order, rather discuss in person:
-61% + of the vote for Obama was white
-Black radio really doesn't care to make an ass of the ignorant white voters BECAUSE WE DONT CARE!
-Caramel complexion in the White House scares many White people b/c Obama IS NOT YOUR PUPPET. He has different views that are not the norm and you can't accept it!
-Obama does not SHUN is caucasian roots, he is doing what AMERICA has always done....base him off the color of his skin. Funny how angry you are now, lol!
-The more you keep complaining about him, the faster you will age. He is the next President so calm the fuck down.
-If you want to move to Canada GTFO, one less closed minded "I hate America now" person to listen to.
-It seems that slavery and racism is a joke to many of the IA posters in this thread/fourm. That is why I personally dislike this forum sometimes (pwease don't ban me, love youse guys, lol).
-Several republicans stated that their party is out of touch for America. They realize that this is their wakeup call to FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE AGAIN.
-Bush was not that bad, he had A LOT on his plate. Grant it, some decisions were questionable, but he did it and its done. No President will be perfect, either they make a bad choice politically or personally.
-Give Obama a chance to a the LEAST shift the ideals of this country back to what our founders "somewhat" built this country on.
-His ideas will spark more out of the box thinking to restore the old America.
-Obama admitted himself that EVERYTHING will not change in 4 years, mabye not even 8, but strides in a better direction is what we need.
Respect is given to Jamie, RedGT, Mike and a few other opposers. They post quality things that are actually worth debating and thinking about. The rest of you yuppies that post crap......unplug your keyboard.
I struggle posting here in regards to politics. I LOVE to debate, but can't get my point across on the web, lol.
This post probably will not get read due to the length![]()
Ironically enough, we make people pass a test BEFORE we call them "citizens" only to let them vote in the next election w/o checking to see if they know what they're doing.....Originally Posted by patrick4588
Hmmm, how's that work again???

Tony, you know I have nothing but respect for you, but SHOW me where you're getting that "data" from. Because in all honesty and like I said above, 95% of all Obama supporters that I have directly spoken to, I see it totally different.Originally Posted by tony
BTW, if a person couldn't pass a basic knowledge test before voting, then they SHOULD NOT VOTE IMO. Period. I don't care if they are White, Green, Yellow, Black, or Blue. I don't care where they live, how much money they make, or how many degrees they have. If someone can't answer correctly that there are 50 states and 100 Senators, then you have NO BUSINESS voting. Right or wrong?
Let me give you an example:
My grandmother had no more than a basic education. She never worked outside the home. She was married for over 50 yrs to the same man, my Grandfather, when she passed. She raised 5 children of her own, 4 children she took in as her own, and 19 Grandchildren with a couple Great grandchildren sprinkled in there for good measure. To say she was wise would be putting it mildly. She was brilliant. She didn't get that from school. She got it from living life.
Now, with that said and in mind.......just because she could mix a hellva "hot tottie" and make us all feel better when we were sick.......does that give her the right to march into an operating room and perform surgery????? Why not? She was the best doctor we knew. She could mix and throw together freaking rocks and daisies and make us some kind of drink to make us feel better. Does that make her a Dr.? Why not?
Well, use that analogy with the American voter. You can have both ends of the spectrum. You can have Dr's that are dumb as a box of rocks and some little old lady that is 10x's smarter than he is at everything else in life. WHO do you want casting that ballot? The Dr. who is only thinking about who is going to help HIM and HIS business??? Or that little old lady that probably would think about everyone else first??? If she passes the test and the Dr. doesn't......why would that be such a bad thing that she vote and he not?
The bottomline is that a good amount of people casting ballots couldn't tell you why they just pressed the button any more than the man on the moon. Nothing wrong with that???? I beg to differ.
I never said that.. and even though jews arnt a race.. we've had our issues about being hated on and shit too.. You act like I feel like im supreme cause Im white... I never said that.. how about you read what im trying to say instead of jumping down my throatOriginally Posted by BobbyFresh

To be honest, I read it and I sense a lot of anger. A few things though;Originally Posted by AirMax95
- I personally don't give a sh*t about Obama's race, but his views on healthcare and the like worry me.
- He is still a puppet for his party. He may not be a white puppet, but he's still a puppet.
- Might as well joke about slavery and racism. If not then it'll get taken too seriously and, let's face it, nobody wants that. Roll with the punches man.
- I'll give Obama a chance but, with a Democratic Congress behind him, I can't say that I think the changes will be for the better. Time will tell.

50 states of exit polls, yes I'm a nerd. You're speaking to the wrong supporters, but then again some people don't dig down into politics and just go for the candidate that inspires them or exudes leadership.
