Black children are more creative and this is why they Excel more in the Arts and Music. Blacks are more physical and strong and active so they will choose fields that they enjoy like sports. Does it mean they are dumb? By no means. Most black men work very well with their hands and they enjoy the work they do. When I was growing up my brother at age 11 could build a bike. Then he started to build motorized skateboards and bikes. I had another brother who could make tables and chairs and all sorts of things from wood. My question is why is it that when blacks do things they enjoy and can do well, it’s not a good idea or it makes them dumb?

But no she wants the top position in spite of what it has done to the party and to black people that have given her and her husband nothing but unconditional support. As a black person I would have so much respect for her. It would show that she is thinking of all stakeholders and not just herself and her family.

Unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton all the lies she got caught in will never leave her. She has a bad reputation and anyone who is overlooking this major character flaw of hers is use to lying their way through life and probably does not think anything of it. To them lying is very necessery to get ahead no matter who you hurt in the process…That’s HIllary…that’s the spirit I get from her…a lying spirit. How many times do we have to overlook this fatal flaw of hers. Yes she’s tough….that I admire…but she out of her own mouth said she got caught…and oh well i’m human. If she can lie to us now before getting the job…what do you think she will do after.

It’s like starting a relationship on a lie…guess what continues…you know what continues.

Sorry I don’t want anyone like that around me and as a Democrat she makes it really difficult for me to support her in any way. I don’t think she is racist, but i do think she is an elitist and her and her husband are standing in the way of greatness to come for all Americans…A Barack Obama as President will have a greatness effect on all of us. Why? because Obama actually takes the time to weigh things before making a judgement…he does not take an american life for granted in this aspect…giving us every opportunity to fufill American history and Legacy.

I think if Barack wasn’t black he would have already locked the election up. He wouldn’t of had the Rev. Wright situation, or the conflict some people have with his, skin or name.

I also don’t think that she is the same as Bill me and my husband both run successful businesses and I choose to run mine a lil differently than he runs his. Sometimes I’m right, Sometimes he’s right. We can’t predict that either person is better than the other, but we can go by their actions and Hillary’s actions aren’t speaking to highly of her.

Barack has inspired many people to get involved in a Politics, not because of his skin but his words, and what he represents. He is not the first Black person to run. But he has gotten the furthest because of WHO he is, and WHAT he believes in.

Clinton will turn around and say horrible things about him, like he’s not ready, and he has bad judgment. BUT THEN INSINUATE THAT SHE WOULD WANT HIM TO BE HER VP. SHE IS FULL OF ISH.

How many times can you excuse lies, I agree that it seemed that Bill did his thing while in office but lets not forget, they were also trying to impeach him for lying. The Clintons had their run it’s time for a fresh new outlook in office.

None of them will be perfect and we can’t assume the Hillary is going to be as good as Bill was. And you can’t assume that Barack is not ready because he hasn’t been in office for a million yrs, the difference is, WHAT THEY DO WHILE IN OFFICE, And if they are willing to be honest and hard working to and for the American people.

The Clintons have played the race card and I have lost the high respect I had for them. She is willing to tear the Democratic Party apart, if she doesn’t win. Sorry I can’t respect that.

More time doesn’t mean better. (LOOK AT BUSH) And if you go on that logic alone than Mc Cain should be president, he’s 100 years old, and he has a lot of experience, But bad ideas and judgment, just like Hillary.

what racist comment did she not properly denounce? If it was the one made by Geraldine Ferraro(sp), that wasn’t a racist comment at all and I find it AMAZING that people are SO SENSITIVE that they can’t see that. She was simply attributing the publics facination with Obama to his race and the fact that he’s running for President. And it’s true. If he were white, no one would pay him any mind at all and Hillary would be the nominee virtually uncontested. People are just so caught up with the idea of making history that no one wants to take a CLEAR look at who would do the best of running this country.

Secondly, I don’t think for one second that she’s trying to make the case that Obama isn’t fit to run the country because he’s black. I would NEVER IN MY LIFE support a candidate who took that stance. I am the farthest thing from racist as you can be, I deplore it in others.

You gave the correct link. I checked it after you posted it. just pull their records up and you’ll see.

The healthcare thing is not BS.

and yes, she does have experience. She’s been a Senator longer and YES her husband being the President counts to her advantage. She wasn’t some quiet little first lady who tended to the flowers and ran the kitchen. She made many policy suggestions and was very hands on in the presidency of her husband. Bill Clinton ran the SH** out of this country and to have the oppurtunity to put his wife, who is VERY qualified on a stand alone basis, and have him be the first “husband” would be such a great oppurtunity that unfortunately a lot of America seems to be passing up on.

Is anyone else TOTALLY over saturated with all these politics. To be totally honest I am tired of hearing about this election because it is turning into a big freak show. Can we please stick to the issues and each person vote using their brain. (Whether the left or right or both Just make an educated decision people.

I can give you a lot of reasons why I feel that Hillary is not fit to be president but all you can say is that Barack doesn’t have experience to be president. I don’t care what you have done in the government office until you sit in that chair in the oval office and make real decisions, NO ONE HAS experience. I cannot say because I like basketball that I know how to run a basketball team, until I am actually in that position and since Hillary is privy to so much information and still makes that wrong decision how can we trust her to run our country?????

Now I may have the link wrong but you can go to the library of congress yourself and see that he has done more in office than she has.

SHE
DOESN’T
HAVE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill does, she had no authority. She was just the first lady, now if because she was sleeping with Bill (which I also doubt) gives her experience than Monica should be qualified as well to be president.

LET’S NOT FORGET BUSH WAS CONSIDERED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND HIS FATHER WAS PRESIDENT. And now thanks to him we are in the worst economic position since the depression.

I don’t care if she lowers the prices (which still won’t be enough) we don’t need another fine and a mandatory bill, with the economy like it is. I have lived overseas where health care is virtually free to all. So that’s all still BS.

1. She wants universal healthcare because IT”S NECESSARY! EVERY OTHER democratic nation IN THE WORLD has universal healthcare…and you’re holding her healthcare plan to current standards, which is inaccurate. She’s already stated at least a million times that in order to give everyone coverage, costs need to be lowered. So she’s not going to make a mandate for everyone to get coverage and just leave the current costs for it. Check the state of Massachusetts for a reference.

2..Also, your facts on Barack vs. Hilary are VERY inaccurate. It’s already been in the news(and everywhere else) that she has sponsored AND passed more bills than he has. I suggest you read up on that. So yes, please follow that link and look it up for yourself everyone.

I’m also fairly sure that she voted present more times while in Senate, which means that she actually bothered herself enough to bring herself in to fight for the issues she beleived in.

It’s very audacious to me that he even has the NERVE to run for President! He lacks the experience and knowledge to properly do so. He speaks of values that his own campaign doesn’t follow, so I’m quite fed up and over him. If he wins the nomination, I’ll be voting Republican.

Never mind Reverend Wright he is just one person that has been given too much emphasis…if i have to watch him every day like Britney Spears i’ll go mad crazy!

ALSO

PEOPLE PLEASE READ THE WORDS CAREFULLY, REV WRIGHT IS NOT SAYING HE FEELS THAT WAY. HE IS TALKING ABOUT A DOCTOR THAT HAS DONE THIS STUDY. If you are going to get involved into politics please do research, know the whole story not just apiece.

B Scott

You do have the right to campaign for whom you like, but just a little FYI for you on Hillary that you can research for yourself.

1ST, THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS IS BECAUSE OF NAFTA, WHICH BILL CLINTON SIGNED OFF AND HILLARY WAS A BIG SUPPORTER OF THAT UNTIL SHE START RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. WE ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE NAFTA BILL.

2ND, HILLARY WANTS TO PASS A BILL TO MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR US TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, WHICH MEANS IF YOU GO TO THE DR’S WITH NO INSURANCE NOT ONLY WILL YOU STILL GET A CRAZY BILL, BUT A FINE AS WELL FOR HAVING NO INSURANCE. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT MOST PEOPLE I KNOW DON’T HAVE INSURANCE BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT NOT BECAUSE THEY DON’T FEEL IT’S IMPORTANT.

3RD, IF YOU GO TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS http://www.thomas.loc.gov. YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE WORK THAT OBAMA HAS DONE VS. HILLARY. WITHIN 6 YRS IN OFFICE SHE HAS PASSED ONLY 20 COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT LAWS, AND I DO MEAN COMPETELY IRRELEVENT. BARACK WITHIN 8 YRS HE HAS SPONSORED OVER 820 BILLS THAT HE INTRODUCED AND ALL ARE IN REGARDS TO EITHER HEALTH CARE, CRIME FIGHTING, POVERTY, ETC ETC BUT SHE STILL CLAIMS TO HAVE MORE EXSPERIENCE. PLEASE CHECK FOR YOUR SELF.

4TH AND MOST IMPORTANT WHEN IT CAME TO REAL PRESSURE AND IT WAS TIME TO STAND AGAINST THE WAR HE DID. WHILE SHE PASSED OFF ON IT COSTING US TRILLIONS OF $s, LET’S NOT FORGET HE STOOD AGAINST THE WAR, WITH A NAME LIKE BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA, DURING THE MOST SENSIVTIVE AND PAINFULLY TIME IN OUR HISTORY. HIS CAREER COULD HAVE BEEN OVER. BUT HE HAD THE COURAGE TO STAND AGAINST IT ANYWAY. I RESPECT THE HELL OUT OF THAT.

5TH, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST HE IS A BLACK MAN, I’M SORRY BUT THAT IS THE CHERRY ON TOP, I AM NOT VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE OF THAT. BUT MY LITTLE NEICES AND NEPHEWS AGES 5 – 12 ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT BARACK, AND FOR THEM TO SEE A BLACK MAN SUCCEED TO THAT LEVEL WITH HONOR AND INTRIGRITY, IT MAKES THEM WHAT TO STRIVE FOR MORE, LETS FACE IT MOST (NOT ALL) OF OUR SUCCESSFUL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE MADE THEIR MONEY BY EITHER SELLING DRUGS AND TURNING IT AROUND, OR PLAYING SPORTS. NOT TO KNOCK IT, BUT FOR MY NEICES AND NEPHEWS TO SEE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS, MEANS A LOT TO ME.

All I ask is to educate yourself completely, I have search for the positives and negatives in both candidates, I have just found more negatives with Hillary, especially due to all hers lies and deceit SHE WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE. If you know all this and still feel she is the better candidate then I will just have to respect that, but if you continue to only tell half the story on your site and try to make my candidate of choice look bad, then I will take my viewing elsewhere. (Maybe that doesn’t matter to you)

I know this is long but I hope you read it all in its totality.

As for Pastor Wright, it offends me that he’s taken it upon himself to speak for the black church. I think that’s very damaging to the image of the black church and black people as a whole. I understand that he feels like he has something valuable to say that no one else has the courage to say and white America doesn’t want to hear. He must understand that it isn’t always about what you have to say, it’s about how you say it. His blatant display of arrogance and defiance yesterday only added more fuel to the fire. If he feels that the media is attacking the black church, why would he give them more material to use against the black church? I really feel like he’s was trying to get back at Barack Obama. I think he feels like Obama is selling him and the black church out. I know the Obama camp has asked him to keep quiet. He has something to prove to Obama. I’m not an Obama supporter, but I really feel that Obama needs to do something to correct this problem. There is no way to turn this all mess into a positive for the Obama. Obama missed that opportunity, the only thing that can be done at this point is to shut this man up.

and to those who say all you have to do is study and blah blah blah. thats some bull if i ever heard it. everyone is different, there are those students who drop out or dont graduate or go to a fancy university that were not just into fashion or sex. thats absolutely ridiculous to make such a claim.

Thanks B

“I want to know when it become so wrong for a Black people to be Anti-American, I mean did everyone just forget about the previous hundreds of years Black people have been treated in this country?”

It became wrong to become anti-American when you entered the social contract and stayed in the country. If it is as bad as you say, leave. There are many other countries to go to. and If Black people are going to stay mad about slavery still, then WE WILL NEVER MAKE PROGRESS. stop pointing the finger at slavery and shift it to other things. How about other elements of of culture such as the shift in the family dynamics?

Next, You said “why is it that you are considered ‘Anti-American’ because you point out the faults of the US government…When has the US government ever been perfect?”

I believe you are anti american when you complain and DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. How many blacks are quick to complain about the government but are not willing to get out there and vote? Anti- American is believing everything a over publicized person says and taking it as truth.

Lastly, having worked with kids, you say “I also want to add that, the reasoning behind Black Americans doing so poorly in this country doesn’t only have to do with their upbringing within families, it also has to do with the lack of resources that they have in schools.”

While I agree that I can’t wait for the increase in quality of the educational system available, we can not restrict ourselves to only pointing the finger at resources? THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES IN THIS SITUATION. If we allow ourselves to say the government isn’t providing enough, we completely disregard those who do make it out of these educational systems and go on to be something.

My thing is I can’t stand complaints. Complaining without giving a solution is a waste of time. Continue your complaints BUT TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Become active and put fire under some people’s asses.

On another note, I don’t agree with what he’s saying about the left side or the ride side of the brain, I do however agree with the fact that Black people learn differently then White people/ different cultur groups learn differently.

I also want to add that, the reasoning behind Black Americans doing so poorly in this country doesn’t only have to do with their upbringing within families, it also has to do with the lack of resources that they have in schools. Black people are on the lowest bracket economically wise within our country. Public Schools are funded through property taxes, so in poor Black neighborhoods there is less money going to the schools. Working with kids, I also see a hopelessness that no one has mentioned above (or might have after I make this post). This hopelessness is the stem of the “I don’t care attitude” and the anger you see in children today…Its because they don’t see their lives really going anywhere, its not going to get better, so why care? TODAY IN 2008, asking these children/young adults what they want to do/be when they grow up, they still say basketball player or rapper or I don’t know, haven’t thought about it. I don’t think they ask that question enough in schools, matter of fact I don’t think schools prepare these children to go out in the world on their own FAR LESS the college counseling offices (if you can call them that). You guys can ramble on about parent involvement, which I’m not saying isn’t important, I’m just saying what the hell do you do if their isn’t any parent involvment, say oh well these children are on their own? No, thats the responsibility of the government, hence why we have adoption and foster care, we should have great public schools.

“First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent? Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago”

Now if this isn’t ignorant, i don’t know what is.

1) Children learn differently due to their upbringing, not their race. Maybe he has confused these two concepts. People are so against the children who can learn rap songs but have not learned numbers yet. GET OVER YOURSELF. If you have ever studied music, you would know that learning every damn song they hear is the first step. It demonstrates their ability to pick up information and retain it. The next step is to teach them the songs that matter like the abcs and 123s.

2) It could be some political ploy from opponents. But personally, I don’t think the Hilary Campaign is smart enough to figure out a ploy like that.

3) And if you truly believe that black children have this disposition which raises their chances of failing THEN WE ARE SCREWED AS A PEOPLE. screwed because of a) this “disposition” and b) Your ignorant and hopeless mindset.

I don’t know about the rest of you, But I don’t believe a damn thing until I have a VARIETY OF RELIABLE SOURCES. Don’t tell me something and expect me to eat it up.

RIGHT NOW THIS PASTOR IS IN THE SAME BOAT AS THAT SPITZER PROSTITUTE. That’ right, I said it. The media is the play ground for stupidity and they are both caught up in it.

As a theology major (plus some other stuff), I believe that religion is such a powerful force, it does not need to mingle in scientific or political affairs. Simply because religion is so powerful, you can’t do it all. IF this pastor has a political or scientific point he wants to make , he needs to contact those who know what they are talking about.

Now I’m off to class…

And by the way, judging from your site/vblog, you are indeed right-brained.

Perhaps you should read up on the origins of Western psychology.

I’m glad that someone has the nerve to put people who say ridiculous things in the media on blast, and Mr. Wright is certainly no exception. I agree 100% with Blasianfma. It’s defintely a matter of how you’re raised and today’s generation simply isn’t doing it. Look at that case in Baltimore where the teacher told the girl to sit in her seat and the girl reacted by beating the woman! What child would do that if they were raised by intelligent parents who taught the proper values?

It’s sad, really…
