the guy was talking as if every black person is still a slave in this country. where I live there are plenty of blacks who drive better cars than I do and have supermodel girlfriends with round a$ses and big racks. obama criticized the white house for getting rid of the racist policy of affirmative action and said that it hadnt done enough to end the "legacy of slavery". what does he want, reparations? does he want to enslave whites or tax them 80%? would white democrats agree with such ideas? the blacks had enough welfare to pay off reparations. besides my ancestors were probably walking to east europe from central asia or fighting the ottoman invaders(muslims) when western europe had slaves, so why should I pay?

Blacks are not the slaves of America nowadays and Obama has a wrong perception. You are right that there are many Blacks that drive better cars than the Whites.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know if Obama will likely win.

although i dont agree with the racist part of your rant where you stereotype blacks. I do agree with your point my family was in england when slavery occured here so why sould I pay for someone elses sin.
Repreations would set back the forward progress of racisim in america 100 years.
when are we going to set up the same plan for all of the irish that were mistreated upon arival. then comes the gays, then redheads and so on.
its a crazy thought to pay someone for suffering that someone didnt experience themselfs. and how would they decide who got it. they would have to trace everyone ansestors. just like my family wasnt involved in slavery as a ehite person not all black people's ancestors were slaves. it would be a costly mess that would only do more harm than good

Doesn't matter. Barrack Hussein Obama will not last through the first 45 days once voting in the primaries starts. He is being propped by the media because they have to keep interest up for this marathon race. They are getting a lot of air-time out of pitting Clinton against him. The fact that he has zero gravitas seems to have totally eluded them.

When you make outrageous claims you should definitely sight your sources. I have not heard him attack the white house for riding us of affirmative action for all i know it still exists. As far as reparations are concerned Obama promotes reparations through investing in our public schools and again the last time I checked white people attended these schools along with blacks.

The hard thing is, is that if you in anyway disagree with affirmative action or policies Obama or any other such leader suggest, your automatically labeled as a bigot and a racist.

Obamas Ancestors were selling Slaves on the Shores of Africa, He is not of Slave Stock.

I suggest you pay attention to your high school studies and not try to pretend you understand adult affairs.
