AL Sharpton Complains that obama doesn't use the race card enough
my thoughts:
why would he? Being black was his whole propaganda in his first campaign. plus what more is there for African Americans(or him specifically) to achieve? they're not oppressed anymore. Hardly anyone hates black people just because the color of their skin nowadays(and even so, racism will continue till the end of time. theres nothing you can do about the few racists out there). black people are way beyond the point of trying to get social acceptance. the civil rights movement was like 50 years ago.
so Flood what do you think? Is using the racecard even relevant anymore? If so, how is it?

[quote]Being black was his whole propaganda in his first campaign.[/quote] Firstly, you're not using the word "propaganda" correctly, unless you are using it to describe how rumors of his "un-American-ness" (being black, being Muslim, not being born in the country, and so on) were brought up by various conservative agencies in less-than-overt ways to try an keep people from voting for him. I think "marketing" would be more akin to what you are attempting to describe. I followed the 08 election quite closely, and I never heard much about his race other than when a pundit would mention that Obama would become the first African-American President. [quote]plus what more is there for African Americans(or him specifically) to achieve? they're not oppressed anymore.

You're a stupid sheltered shit. Fun facts: Black people disproportionately have lower hiring rates per application, disproportionately live in poverty, are disproportionately convicted of crimes, and are often sentenced to longer prison times when compared to white people (this also applies to other minorities to varying degrees). Just say the word and I will inundate you with links to studies with word counts so heavy they'll crush your stupid retinas to death under their digital weight. Yes, the President's approval ratings are low for a number of reasons -- many of which are pretty good reasons -- and to some degree they are down because gods know there are people out there who don't like the idea of someone different then themselves being "in charge"... But saying that we now live in an age that is free of discrimination is Fox News Network levels of stupid.

man, the OP is a mess. black people aren't oppressed anymore? what? [quote]Hardly anyone hates black people just because the color of their skin[/quote] so it's okay to hate black people for any reason other than color of their skin??? somehow that makes hating black people not racist? "racism will continue till the end of time. theres nothing you can do about the few racists out there" so racist people aren't responsible for their racist behavior? people shouldn't criticize or fight against racism because racism is just this natural force that you can't do anything about like bad weather or gravity? [quote]black people are way beyond the point of trying to get social acceptance.[/quote] wow. just wow. [quote]the civil rights movement was like 50 years ago.[/quote] okay? and now it's irrelevant somehow? the US was founded on racism, built on it, but because "the civil rights movement was like 50 ago" now all the racist ideas and racist people are just gone?? you realize there are people older than 50 years of age, right? that they passed down their racist garbage to their kids and those kids passed down their racist garbage and so on.

1 回复Al Sharpton is a race-baiting idiot. I honestly hope people don't take him as seriously as he thinks they do. This obsessiveness over race since Pres. Obama took office has gotten completely out of hand. What happened to skin color not being a factor in determining someone's character? These people are some of the largest hypocrites I've ever witnessed.

10 回复He's right. The republicans hate Obama because he is black, plain and simple. Yet Obama doesn't address that because he is trying to rise above hate.

I am not a fan of Al but I can see some half truths in what he says. It wouldn't surprise me at all that some people elected are racist and just want to fight with Obama because he is black however I dont think it is to a degree that Al seems to think. I dont think he is saying to pull the race card but rather confront the issue and bring it to light. Though Al should already know that it would mean political suicide if Obama went around pointing fingers without solid proof.

2 回复I don't mean to generalize, I know that there are always exceptions. But to say that conservatives are the only ones that are racists simply is not true. Liberals are just as racist as anybody else. This is an applicable quote: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgement you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured with you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye"- Matthew 7:1-5
