Yes, race colors my opinion of his Presidency. Given our history of race relations, it genuinely makes me feel good that we were able to elect an African American President.

I only base my vote on policies though, so that would never factor into my vote (and didn't -- I didn't vote for him after all), but I have to admit that it seems like we've reached a milestone with that. Other than that aspect and his uncanny abilities at public speaking and inspiring confidence, there's not much I like about his Presidency.

First the Native Americans, be we committed mass genocide on them and they nearly became and extinct human race.

It moved on to blacks, they were our new slaves. We brought them over here, so we didn't have to commit genocide on them.

During the 2nd world war, it moved to the Japanese. WE PUT THEM IN CAMPS. Sound familiar? It definitely wasn't as bad, but it still happened. This was against LEGAL RIGHTS.

It has now moved on to the homosexual community mostly, the illegal Mexican immigrants take it also. It's not as easy to spot now because the homosexual community includes whites.

See? Nothing's changed. The hate just moves on.

You need to learn your history.

People on the right will disagree with EVERYTHING Obama does, EVERYTHING. They even were rooting against Chicago getting the Olympics, why?wstfld

Don't believe everything you read or hear. It's obvious you already do, so I guess there is no hope for you.

Jimmy Carter has always been a loon and fails at life.

The democrats are playing the race card to try and paint a bad picture of the republicans. It's pathetic.

I love when democrats throw the race card into this. It makes them look even more stupid than they already look. He's half white and half black.

I don't like him at all and it has nothing to do with what his skin color is.

God forbid I vote on someone's qualifications and views than on there skin color. We all know it's skin color that matters.:roll:

I didn't vote for obama.

gomer69: This has been going around for a while and it's fake. Don't believe everything you hear or read.

I will give some of you people here a lesson on nationality.

Lets say two white people were born in America. That would make them American. Lets say the couple was expecting their first child. Now lets say the couple that was born in America decided to take a trip to Canada. While on their trip in Canada the mother goes into labor and the kid is born in Canada.

Now even though the parents were born in America, their child would be considered Canadian.

This goes for any colored person. I just chose to use white people. This has happened to alot of people.

How many of you guys actually go around calling people by their races; like hey mexican can you pass me that book? or like hey whitey let me borrow 5 bucks? seriously you guys? come on!Solid_Tango

Your missing the point of this. No one goes around saying "hey mexican can you pass me that book" or anything like that. In that instance you would say "sir could you pass me that book".

If you call someone mexican that is saying he or she was born in mexico. No one goes around calling someone mexican or any other nationality when asking them a question. I don't have the slightest clue where you got that from.

Another thing people need to understand, is that calling someone buy there skin color is just describing how light or dark there skin is.

The proper term for a black person is "negro". Just like the proper term for white people is "caucasian".

[QUOTE="tsduv21"]African American.lm2f

There has also been white people being born in Africa as long as black people have been.

Well if you say "You people"GrandJury

Tell me when the phrase "You people" became a word for describing black people.

"You people" is a term for a group of people, not a certain race of people.
