FreeRepublic's response to this missive...
Nov 8, 2012

Posted on 11/09/2012 6:03:20 AM PST by ICE-FLYER

The following is making rounds on Facebook and other social media outlets. While I have my own responses to much of its content, i would like to know the responses you would give.

---------------

REPOST: A white man asked his black friend Are you going to vote for BARACK OBAMA just because he's black? The black man responded by saying "why not?" In this country men are pulled over by police because they are BLACK, passed over promotion just because they are BLACK; considered to be criminals just because they are BLACK; Thousands of white voters are not voting for him because he's BLACK!... But you don't seem to have a problem with any of that! This country was built with the sweat and tears of BLACK slaves and now a BLACK man has a chance to lead the same country where we weren't even considered as people; where we weren't even allowed to be educated, drink from the same fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or use the same restrooms or even VOTE. So YES I am going to vote for him! But its not because he's BLACK, but because through his leadership several of America's most elusive enemies were brought to justice, our economy, health and environment has improved; and our good reputation around the world has been restored. He is HOPE. He is CHANGE. He is WISE. He is a man of INTEGRITY and INTELLIGENCE. He is a man of FAITH and PERSEVERANCE. A man of MATURITY and GOOD JUDGEMENT. He is a faithful HUSBAND and FATHER. And he allows me to understand when my grandchildren desire to be President when they grow up, its not a fairy tale but a short term goal. They now see, understand and know that they can achieve, withstand, and do ANYTHING that they can dream for themselves. ... So NO I am not voting for him because he's BLACK.....I'm VOTING for him because I'M BLACK.....

My response is that now you have been paid trillions in reparations via things like the new deal and continue to be paid billions because of your skin color we are not only even you owe me a refund because I have had nothing to do with your gripes and complaints. Now I am the minority. I am the one being enslaved financially. I am a slave today while you have NEVER been one. Nobody ever gave me anything. I made it all my self and now I’m being robbed. But I won’t stand still for that. I’ve had it with the thievery. When once I overpaid taxes now I’m going to pay only what I legally have to. And what of some of my businesses that you tax so much? Some are going offshore and many people I know are doing the same thing.

So be happy you have dark skin if you like. Or sad. Unlike you I don’t care about skin color. I am not a racist. Well, I was not one but today I am in a small way. This happened over the last 4 years. You see I never put upon anyone that had dark skin but now some of those that happen to have dark skin put upon me. I’ll be silent about it. Sad about it. But not stupid about it. You want to live off my work. I’ll keep working but good luck figuring out how to dig deeper in to my pockets.

This country was built with the sweat and tears of BLACK slaves ...

Utter bunk.

The free northern states were far more prosperous than the slave-owning southern states.

And the first transcontinental railroad, which did more for the country than cotton, was built by Irishmen and Chinamen.

he gives them a feeling of national and personal empowerment and recognition (hardly at all for his ideology, qualifications or any of the usual criteria).

Exactly right. They also voted for him out of revenge, just as he exhorted them to. The revenge statement was no mistake. It was a rallying cry.

I disconnected my Facebook account yesterday. My heart rate is back to normal.

Ditto. Got off Twitter as well. About 2AM election night I said: "I've got to get my life back." It started by dumping those two time-wasters. I refuse any longer to read the vile stupidity that's on those narcissistic echo-chambers.

All the twenty-somethings will be gobsmacked when four years from now they still don't have jobs and there's no one to pay for their "free" stuff. They can gloat and preen about gay marriage and abortion while they try to subsist on unemployment benefits that are running out. If other parents are as angry as I am, the twenty-somethings will find the source of their gravy train has dried up. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. It's time for them to experience real life. Drive off the cliff. The "rich" will be in hiding and the politicians will be left trying to explain how the biggest bubble of all, government deficit spending, has popped.

Obama has never claimed to be black

Not true. Recall that on his census form he checked "Black, African Am., or Negro " rather than the more accurate "Some Other Race" including a space to enter a type such as "mixed" or "mulatto".

Exactly. Mia Love and Allen West are very good examples. No, this man voted for Obama and supports Democrats because he believes he is owed free stuff. This sense of entitlement is endemic in Black culture.

They continue to hold fast to their living crutch that says some of their ancestors were slaves (not Obamas) therefore others owe them their livelihoods into perpetuity.

Blacks never have the guts to consider that out-of-wedlock births are staggering. Blacks do not have the guts to admit that because most of them do not know their fathers and do not know the blessing of a family has led to a cultural feral mindset where brutal crimes are simply a way of life in the ghettos of their lives.

No, so much easier for Black and other aggrieved minorities to simply keep their hand out for the abundance of free stuff given to them (EBT Cards, Medicaid, Cell Phones, Section 8 Housing) all the while cursing those who are giving all that free stuff to them by the sweat of their brow.

It is so much easier this way to justify your undisciplined, unprincipled, gangster life.

No, you voted for Obama because he promised to steal even more from others and give it to you otherwise you would have voted for Mia Love and Allen West.

Built by slaves? Horsesh!t

The slaves that built the country are the ones putting in 50-70 hours a week and getting half of their money confiscated by this so called government of ours! Only to have that money redistributed to low lifes who can’t get up in the morning and take a piss by themselves!

The next revolution will be about slavery, but not the kind we had 150 years ago! Bank on it.

Have a little fun. Interchange the words BLACK and WHITE, and substitute “Romney” for “obama” and see how it reads ...

Right on brother,I suggest we all go Galt and refuse to pull the over full wagon as hard or as far. Pay down any debt so you can live more cheaply and make only as much as you need to live. Starve this beast to death.

They forgot to mention that no segment of the population has suffered more in the Obama economy than those that are BLACK.

I’d just say that they must want white people to be racist, because if they keep accusing them of it, no matter what white people do, then white people have no motivation not to be racist. I’ve been called a racist so many times, it’s like calling me a doo-doo head, it carries absolutely no sting anymore.

...and yet, the policies of this Presidneet...and oh by the way, he is 50% white, about 30% Arabic, and about 20% Black African actuially...have produced a far wose conditions for Blacks in terms of unemployement, under-employment, poverty, food stamps, continued aboriont of their young, etc., etc.

In other words, if you were going to vote for hiom on policy, particularly as it effect you because “you are black,” you would get as far away from him as possible.

The fact that this individual votes for him any way, puts the lie to his words, because actions always speak louder than words.

Their claims of racism now fall on deaf ears, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE! The race card has been overplayed and the deck is full of JOKERS. Obama isn’t BLACK, he’s RED! He played the blacks, asians and latinos for the dupes that they are. The rich may get poorer, but so will the middle class and the poor. When they don’t get their goodies anymore they can go ahead and complain, but they’ll be greeted by the government they so love with the business end of a gun. Good Luck! The “Truly Stupid” will never see it coming.
It is time to prep! It has begun.
