His typical white grandmother remark showed me that he long ago chose which race that he would identify with.
Instead of recognizing the strengths and weakness of his parents racial makeup he chose to be black and apologize for his white half.
The vested interest that those self-appointed black leaders is great. They couldn’t live in mansions or have body guards if they made the black community realize that America gives you a chance, what you do with it is totally up to you. Should racial quotas apply to minorites? If 30% of blacks and 10% of whites commit crimes should we be able to arrest only 10% of blacks? What if those blacks are first generation Africans? Should they be arrested at a higher or lower rate? What about other minorities?
Each time you pass laws based on special groups, instead of individual rights you will have racial/sexual tensions.
Why shouldn’t I be able to tell a gay person I think their lifestyle is destructive? What part of freedom of speech don’t they understand? The constitution prevents the government from treating individuals differently based on group affiliations, it doesn’t prevent individuals from doing so.
From observation, it’s obvious that 0bama chose to hate his white heritage in order to alleviate his confusion in the environments he was in. Being raised and educated around hate-whitey radicals, he had to fully denounce his white heritage in order to get his “creds” out of fear of being socially ostracized. Social ostracization is what led Colon Powell to choose his skin color over ideology.
When people demand something for nothing from others who have worked for it the people demanding should also work for it.
Freedom of speech is guaranteed for all, not just those that can scream the loudest and you're so right in saying the government cannot take that from any one group.
