I smell racism here. Why can't a real black person be elected a black president?

"Boy, wait until you see the fire in my belly," he told a TV interviewer.

I thought the fire was in his prostate.

"President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second"

Anyone want to bet this will not be played on your evening news channel tonight?I'll be surprised if it gets aired.

[BigTime]

The thing that is astonishing about this is that when that was said about Clinton, he let others say it about him so there were no finger prints as this is clearly a racist statement.

Now along comes Kerry. No problem for him as he blurts this out of his own mouth. I think this guy is going to be his own undoing because the media can't sit on this stuff forever.

Where is the black outrage over this kind of racist remark? Clinton could get a pass on it because he never said it about himself while in office (although he joked about it after he was out of office).

But if a conservative were to say something like this?

Watch out.

Dyn-o-mite!! Cotton comes to Boston.

"Boy, wait until you see the fire in my belly," he told a TV interviewer.

If you've got to tell folks to be on the lookout for the fire in your belly...you don't have one.

During the 2000 campaign, Mario Cuomo freaked out about Bush speaking Spanish.

In his utter ignorance he bashed Dubya and made a snide comment about his hispanic wife......

Of course, he didn't even realize it's Jeb who has the hispanic wife..but then trashing republicans is the name of the game.

[SJackson]

And here I thought he was Jewish. Congrats, he's yours now!

[Fresh Wind]

I get fire in my belly when I see Kerry. Rolaids help this problem considerably.

Can't say anything because I am ROTFL.

We'll know John F'ing Kerry is black when he calls New York "Hymietown." Come on, Frenchy - do it!

[drhogan]

"President Clinton (news - web sites) was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second," he told the American Urban Radio Network.

I wasn't aware that Kerry had the black vote all locked up with a.n.s.w.e.r. and the other like groups on Kerry's side it's more like the first truly Red Communist.

The Anarchists and Anti-Americans Anti-Capitalists should be happy on the surface Kerry is their Czar but the underbelly of the beast will seek to devour all.

Thats the way communism is the color of power does not matter only that the power is digested and turned to an oppressive energy.

Is life and the quality thereof so bad we would hand over our true freedoms to Communists ? or is the media so bad that they would have you believe that life is that bad ?

I think its the latter !

Kerry, the ultimate 'white guy' finds himself 'born a poor black child', without rhythm and unable to figure out why he doesn't fit in with his Black brothers and sisters.

I'm sorry ya'll, I just got my password to FR today and felt the need to ketchup.
