The New Mainstream

As a white lower middle class American, I have to agree some what with your analysis. I have never been a racist nor do I find it necessary to act against my nubian brothers. However, racism runs in all directions, and I can truthfully say that I have felt discrimination from blacks, asians, hispanics and so on in my life. Racism is not a white problem, it is a human problem. There is no doubt that black people have suffered. We have all seen a decline in 'class' status in the last eight years, we have all lost income during the Bush years. That is all but the wealthy. I did not get to go to college, I'm 57 years old and I have never made more that $30,000. in a year. I have however, made the effort to work and support myself and my family. I have managed to remain impartial to race and other 'dividing' factors as well. All I can say is, until people, in general, drop the banners, we will never see true freedom for all.
PS : Don't forget that the powers that be use these tools to divide us and keep their place at the top!

Someone on here said, "by reading this thread of comments, you would think it was the end of the world"! I agree! OMG! It is not the end of the of the world. For once, can we stop looking at the color of a man's skin and give him a fair chance. Let's take color out of this senario. All those of you, who are hell bent to issue ugly and hateful verbage, needs to get down on your knees and PRAY! Pray to whomever you believe in. Remember, a man's biggest fear, he will face,(all of our bills will come due) and if that fear is a black man....that indeed is alot to say about character. May God, or whoever you that wish to speak hate, based on color, believe in, bless you all!

How about, hymie, ***, heb? Jessie Jackson used those all the time! Wonderful African-American!

Well, this is interesting - I can ***, white trash but not ***!

Mr. Patterson, you make many good points. I am a white male, and grew up in the 60's. Voted for McGovern when I was 18. However, I also grew up with the "black panthers", "forced busing", gangs, etc., etc. Oh yes, of course affirmative action. Orlando (well at least it's not Latifah, Bunifah, Shanisha, Jackson)., there is a rift between black and white. I married a lady from Mexico City. 3 wonderful children. So, my prejudice is with ***, spics and white trash.

My goodness, Hal - are you a telemarketer? Please leave your comment ten more times!

The McCain Campaign:

John McCain has proven himself in this campaign to be an angry low road politician who failed miserably to show himself to be a fair and decent individual, with the stature to rise to the Office of the Presidency.

Leading a campaign that (even though major news orgs constantly debunked his ads) almost exclusively resorted to the constant barrage of outright lies, distortions, and the sleaziest of attack ads. Showing himself, instead, to be a little man, he displays a nasty, divisive and confrontational attitude with limited vision and dimension of thinking. He is minimally accomplished as a statesman and, as shown by his own actions, is conspicuously absent of the temperament and the diplomatic and leadership skills necessary to adequately represent and lead this nation in promoting international respect and cooperation on the future world stage.

The United States can do much better than John McCain, On Tuesday, I am betting the nation will agree.

This will be the first time I ever voted. It feels good, only because I feel we finally have someone worth voting for, since Clinton ran. My votes goes to, Obama - Biden ticket.

From what I been reading, listening and watching. McCain has socialize with some shady people too. McCain also been involved with Acorn. Acorn hires shady people to get people to register to vote. Not Obama's fault anymore then McCain's fault.

Only thing I would believe is what comes out of the person's mouth, meaning Obama's & McCain. I have certain views on certain issues, If that Canidate has most of my view's. I'm going to vote for that person.

No way is Palin ready to be President, if something happen to McCain.
Now if it was Hillary, I would say Yes. Hillary is a very very smart person.

The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.
