Crimeny folks! Reply

know why the right wingers got angry over Obama's speech about success and career? because Obama gave the young a _good advice_ instead of telling them to continue rotting their brains with TV and it was a speech that cannot be ignored by the black, those boys and girls that tomorrow could become judges, lawyers, scientists, successful individuals: right wingers' worst fear. learned black men and women in positions of power. aargh !

ahh you see THAT is where you are wrong..it wasn't rascism, even though the left repeatedly tries to make it seem that way..You need to do a little research, lets start with Jim Crow laws...democrats...the first either four or five civil rights bills that were to protect blacks....DEMOCRAT opposed....either Reid or Biden at a DEMOCRAT convention quipping "Look at all the people of color here, you wont see this at a Republican party unless they are the wait staff"..a blatant insult and the Left just Yukked it up, ROBERT BYRD KKK alumnus...democrat, the next post is gonna be longer...here we go Reply

It has always seemed unnatural and unwise to me whenever I hear someone who's been slandered by a particularly egregious lie reply that they're not going to dignify that accusation with a response. For it has always been crystal clear to me that whenever your honor, integrity and reputation are called into question that you should be quick, thorough and – when circumstances demand – quite loud in defense of them. Otherwise, people will assume that the accusation must carry some weight and the falsity levied against you just might end up sticking. That's what has happened to the political party that I belong to – the Republicans. For decades the Party of Lincoln has been under almost constant assault for being "racist" and "openly hostile" to blacks. However, nothing could be further from the truth – but you would never know it by the party's spineless, practically nonexistent defense of its record on race and civil rights. From the days of Lincoln until the present, blacks have had no better friend, party-wise, than the Republicans. Since its inception in the mid-19th century, the GOP has built an exemplary record on civil rights, particularly if you want to use the Democrat Party as a comparison. The party's first president, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, the height of the Civil War, squelching any chance that the European powers of the day would intervene in the conflict in favor of the Confederacy. With the stroke of his pen, Lincoln destroyed the last real hope the Confederacy had for a victory. Soon after the war ended, it was a Republican-controlled Congress that rammed through the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution that, among other things, abolished slavery, guaranteed equal protection and due process and addressed blacks' right to vote. In the late 19th century, Democrat governors and Democrat-controlled state legislatures in the South couldn't pass Jim Crow laws fast enough. Those Democrats created a nearly century-long, legal racial caste system that relegated blacks to the lowest educational, political, economic and social strata. I have family members who grew up under Jim Crow. To hear them tell it, it weren't no joke. And let us not forget that during the same period it was Democrats throughout the United States who organized and ran America's premier terrorist organization – the Ku Klux Klan. And speaking of the Klan, remember the great Democrat President Woodrow Wilson? After a screening of D.W. Griffith's paean to the Ku Klux Klan, "Birth of a Nation," Wilson, turned-movie critic, said of the film: "It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true." Needless to say, the NAACP had a different outlook. After its viewing, the civil rights organization was mortified to the point of launching a nationwide protest in 1915 against the film. The group was equally appalled by President Wilson's... Reply

No, it didn't, but alot of Conservative nuts are keeping their children as stupid and narrow minded as themselves. What a shame for America and it's future. Reply

I don't understand why people can't just keep an open mind about things and stop thinking that Obama is anti-american. I guess they watch and believe too much Fox News. Reply
