African-American voters see court fight as affront to Obama
Associated Press ^ | Feb 28, 2016 12:03 PM EST | Errin Haines Whack

Watching the fight unfold between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans over who should choose the next Supreme Court justice, Michael A. Bowden got angry at what he saw at the latest affront to the first black president.

And then his thoughts turned from Washington to his own state.

Obama won't be on the ballot this fall, but Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey will - and Bowden has made defeating him in November a priority. [...]

Democrats are pressuring senators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin to back down from their refusal to confirm or even consider Obama's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia or face the consequences in November. In some states, they may get help from African-Americans who see the court battle as the latest GOP snub of Obama - one rooted in racism, which could galvanize a crucial component of the Democratic voting bloc. ...

Really, black people cannot take honest disagreement? It insults them?

They are pussies? Never knew that.

African-American is not a race. It’s an idiotic creation by Communists who want to promote division and hatred. The absurdity was clearest a few years ago when some journalist referred to a black citizen in a European country as “an African-American.”

Of course they do.

Don’t give two sh1ts, it’s just their natural instinct.

50% unemployment in major cities in America among young blacks due to the terrible Obama policies.

It's not all Obama policies causing the unemployment rate to go to 50%. Who is going to hire someone who comes to an interview dressed inappropriately, with a nose ring, unable to read or write cursive, and with poor grammar?

Granted, our government policies have rewarded that inappropriate behavior.

The Race Card-Pull it first, pull it often. No expiration date.

That's for sure. If I tell a student to put away a cell phone or to stop talking, first thing out of their mouth is, "You tellin' me that 'cos I'm black."

"No, dear," I correct them, "I'm tellin' you that because you are not supposed to be doing that. And I don't care if you're a green pepper or a purple people eater---cut it out!"

This is directly the "education" they have gotten from listening to race baiters like Al Sharpton, who has taught them that anything they are blamed for is because they're black. Not because they're wrong.

Yup! The GimmeMores will say anything to protect their Golden Goose. He could drive the streets of Chicago doing drivebys every night and they’d still love him. Obama is where all their free stuff comes from.

Look, this is just the way it is and until all you white devil, honky crackers can become as enlightened and colorblind as activist Afro-American voters, this is the way it will stay. Many of them probably didn’t even realize that he’s blackish. They just support him for his ideas. /s

I agree with you. About 2/3 of Blacks, I know, dislike being called African-Americans. They know that, since an African is “a resident of Africa,” an African-American must be anyone who was born in Africa, immigrated to the U.S., and became an American citizen. 3% of South Africans have ancestors who came from India. When one of them becomes a U.S. citizen, he or she becomes an African-American.
