Obama General Discussion, vol. 4

those lazy black blah people

Are you black?

 

[Irvine511]

What I am supposed to see?

That some people are hard working, real Americans.

And some people aren't.

 

[financeguy]

That some people are hard working, real Americans.

And some people aren't.

And the demographic that's leaching off the state should be given a kick up the arse now and again, no?

 

[BVS]

Well, considering that white voters are essentially financing black voters inability and/or unwillingness to get jobs, it's not necessarily an entirely unreasonable point for the Romney campaign to make.

You're good at this caricature thing.

 

[Irvine511]

And the demographic that's leaching off the state should be given a kick up the arse now and again, no?

That's been the plan since 1964.

 

[financeguy]

You're good at this caricature thing.

I suppose that it's preferable that the black unemployment rate remains at approximately double the white unemployment rate for the rest of human history in the US.

I suppose that anyone that comes up with a plan to improve the differential, still less draws attention to it, is engaging in caricaturing, stereotyping and even worse.

I am in favour of addressing the unacceptably high level of black American unemployment - and the only thing that will do so, in the long run, is private sector entrepreneurialism and capitalism.

Our side deal in facts. Yours in appeals to emotionalism. That's the stark difference between the left and the right - your side deals in a culture of complaint, ours in solutions.

Interesting how skin color relates to how lazy you are

 

[financeguy]

That's been the plan since 1964.

How well has it worked?

 

[PhilsFan]

This has a lot more to do with class than it does with race. Or, at least, with what the cause is.

 

[Irvine511]

Really, most of the problems that afflict the African-American community can be reduced to simple laziness, sho' 'nuff.

 

[Irvine511]

How well has it worked?

The GOPnhas a pretty good track record winning elections in the South.

So quite well for them.

 

[BoMac]

I don't know, Peef. You don't think certain races are predisposed to lack ambition, drive, and hard work?

I mean, that makes perfect sense to me!

 

[financeguy]

The GOPnhas a pretty good track record winning elections in the South.

Disgraceful.

 

[Irvine511]

Disgraceful.

nixon's Southern Strategy?

Agreed.

Clever. But also disgraceful, disgusting and plain wrong.

 

[Irvine511]

Clever. But also disgraceful, disgusting and plain wrong.

Have you read your comments in this thread?

 

[financeguy]

nixon's Southern Strategy?

Agreed.

You haven't a clue. Really and truly, you're totally ignorant.

 

[Irvine511]

You haven't a clue. Really and truly, you're totally ignorant.

Really and truly?

[Irvine511]

How drunk are you?

 

[financeguy]

Really and truly?

If you're bringing in Nixon's southern strategy at this point, then, really and truly, no.

 

[Irvine511]

If you're bringing in Nixon's southern strategy at this point, then, really and truly, no.

Do you know what that is?

 

[financeguy]

How drunk are you?

Not drunk enough to shag you anyway! Nice try, all the same.

 

[financeguy]

Do you know what that is?

Are you for real? What about the Democrats' southern strategy? What about Johnson's southern oil money?

 

[financeguy]

What about LBJ's testimomy to numerous witnesses that it was oil money and CIA?

What about Jackie's testimony?

You wanna talk about that, compadre?

No, of course you don't because all you want to talk about is Nixon and Watergate and southern strategy and all that crap.

Yeah Nixon, the big fucking devil of US politics.

Seriously, grow up. Grow the fuck up.

 

[Irvine511]

So, pretty drunk then.

 

[PhilsFan]

I am drunk all of the time. I think I handle my alcohol pretty well on here. It only gets bad when I am rushing a post on my phone.

 

[financeguy]

So, pretty drunk then.

But still perfectly capable of addressing the issue, which you are not!

Loon!!

 

[PhilsFan]

The point being: get on my level, FG. We Irish need to stick together! (wink smilie because I am an Irish American and not actually Irish)

 

[Irvine511]

Do you tell your black friends that theyd do better if they had a swift smack on the bottom when you drink?
