Obama has said his favorite TV show is "The Wire".
For those who don't know this is an outstanding (imho) HBO series that shows Baltimore in all of its ugliness--projects, drug dealers, corrupt (Democratic) politians, bad schools, numbers driven police department, etc.
The libertarians among us both cheered and then grew sad as an attempt to legalize drugs was demonized by sound bites by politicians who should have known better.
I wonder if a President Obama will declare victory on the drug war and instead get the cops out there solving murders, rapes, burglaries etc. instead of wasting their time on petty street corner drug dealers.
Folks around here could score their cheap points attacking him while our cities might actually become civilized like they were before the "war on drugs".

And the irony of Le Roi Jones is that he MARRIED a white woman!Maybe its all about a deep love-hate neurosis he has with white people.
Sad thing is that the culture of the hood is taking hold among Asians and Latinos as well.Many act,talk and front like black ghetto cartoon characters.

If Obama wins the election, it's possible that he could be the most libertarian President that this country has had in a long time. The only way he could be the most libertarian president is just due to timing. Bill Clinton was a lassie fair president, not out of conviction, but because he ended up electing a Republican congress and spent so much time covering up his scandals he couldn't push a left wing agenda onto the country.
In Obama's case, he would be caught between the aging boomers and their social security requirements, and the current economic problems. The next president will not have much opportunity to add massive new programs, even if they campaign on them.

"So turn off the TV set, put the video game away. Buy a little desk or put that child by the kitchen table. Watch them do their homework. If they don't know how to do it, give them help. If you don't know how to do it, call the teacher. Make them go to bed at a reasonable time. Keep them off the streets. Give ' em some breakfast. Come on. ... You know I am right." Obama's right about this... and yeah, we know it.

OH! Of course! Google those Bill Cosby quotes! Everybody loves him. "Heyyy Heyyy Heyyy...
It's OOOOO-bama!"
Seriously - the black community responds to Cosby with contempt when he makes those comments. Think Barack will be treated in a similar fashion?

You hit it!The anomosity most blacks have to whites is NOTHING compared to the anger they have toward each other.
Those of us in the inner city trenches see it every day.The hatred and degredation both verbal and physical.It borders on pathology.Like a girl in my class from Desire Project in New Orleans told me back in 1973,”Mr Riverman,those n——— talk that Black is Beautiful s-—,but they don’t mean a word of it”
True that,Laverne!

"I've got to talk about us a little bit," said Obama. "We can't keep on feeding our children junk all day long, giving them no exercise. They are overweight by the time they are 4 or 5 years old, and then we are surprised when they get sick." Maybe they should take up smoking like Obama to control their weight.

Doesnt Obama care about white children?
No. It doesn’t fit into his “black value system.”

It was just an observation there, zippy.
To: grundle
It a WHITE man said that blacks needed to quit feeding their children fired chicken for breakfast, he’d get killed by the media. But their hypocrisy is nothing new. It surprises me to see that some here don’t see the glaring double standard.
