Obama is our next president

<<It's kinda like Tee's claming racism, where none exists in the conversation>>

LOL - - Gotta learn to be more like sirs - - just pretend it doesn't exist. 

When I claim racism, sirs, it's for a damned good reason.  Even when you like to pretend it's not there.  Especially when you like to pretend it's not there.

I think sometimes the good reason is a paucity of other ideas.

Racism still causes the US problems but we work hard on it , where in the world are there more integrated neighborhoods ? More protections in law for minoritys? More tolerance in practice?

It does not good to cite a country with less diversity than we have , you don't need tolerance where love is natural, you need tolerance for the diffrent.

You could name damn near anywhere in Latin America or Europe. You really need to get out more.

The new way to segregate neighborhoods is by zoning, in the event you were unaware.Zoning by price of home, number of bedrooms, banning rentals, there are dozens of ways.

The ONE BIGGEST THING you could ever do to battle racism is to vote for Obama, and you know this.
And yet you drone on about "strict constructionists" and nonexistent socialism and other crap like you were actually a ultimega zillionaire or the hack he hired for doing his PR.

Easy.  Brazil.  Cuba.

<<More protections in law for minoritys? >>

Ya got me there, plane.  I'm  a  big admirer of the U.S. Constitution.   Greatest political document in the history of the human race.  Too bad you don't live up to it.

<<More tolerance in practice?>>

In practice?  Hard to say.  I'd put the U.S. practices somewhere in the middle, maybe the more honest answer is, I just don't know and neither do you.

<<It does not good to cite a country with less diversity than we have >>

Brazil's probably MORE diverse than you are and Cuba is pretty diverse as well.  So's Canada, especially if you factor in our West Coast.

Toronto is a very diverse city and somewhat renowned for tolerance.

Cuba has abolished discrimination a lot more effectively than the US. Here in Miami, the old white Cubans discriminate more against Black Cubans than they did under Batista, and get away with it. Ask any Black Cuban.

I would be very careful with Europe. While I'm a proponent of government systems such as Denmark's, and Europe is way ahead of the colonies in many ways - there are areas of Europe where racism is a massive problem. If you go to Northern Italy, parts of Austria, or find any BNP enthusiast in the UK and you'll find a racist every bit as nasty as anyone you can find in the Deep South, West Virginia, or some western militia group. In fact, I daresay the European racist is far more dangerous as they tend to live behind a curtain of European civility and enjoy the freedom of far-right electability in most of those nation's Parliaments.

Yea, vote for a fella based on race is so not racist

The problem with this country is that we have so many twisted people like you that think that this is a clever remark.

[richpo64]

I heard a figure the other day. 98% of Black folk are voting for Barry Hussien Obama.

98 percent! Can you imagine if 98 percent of White folks admitted to voting for McCain?

So vote for Barry and prove you're not a racist. Only a libtard would think that way.

Great rebuttal, Xo.  Simply brilliant in its depth

Well, it is becoming clear that Obama is going to win. I can see four years ahead......Palin againt Obama.

Or, Hillary vs Palin.

That's the race I would like to see.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Hillary vs Palin.

That's the race I would like to see.

============================
Doubtful. Palin is a ditz. She'll fare worse than Geraldine Ferraro. They will blame her for McCain's defeat.

It's back to the Great White North for Pain. Get out the mukluks, feed the huskies, fire up the Iditarods.

[Michael Tee]

Palin will sink into obscurity like Dan Quayle, Geraldine Ferraro and Walter E. Miller, only to resurface in late-night television ads for Depens or liquid age-spot removers twenty years hence.    However, Levi 'n Bristol, their progeny and their next seven or eight spouses will continue to make supermarket tabloid history for many, many long years ahead, so Sarah's name won't be completely erased from our collective North American memory.

I gotta disagree with my fellow lefties.

Bill Kristol personally recommended the Palin choice.  I suspect the neo-cons pushed for her to get her name out there so that they could then treat as tabula rasa and embue her with all their craziness for running again in the future.

She may lose to someone with some common sense in the GOP primary but I don't think we've seen the last of Caribou Barbie.

I really don't think she's a ditz. Bill Clinton was the country bumpkin Gov. who couldn't shut up once upon a time. He turned his Ditz and gift of over gabbing into the White House and the rest is bump-hump history.

Palin is strong, honest and damn good at what she does. But, I find it interesting that folks look at her as a woman first and a strong Governor 2nd.
