I am a white guy. I'm not bragging or complaining, I'm just saying I'm white. One thing that I have noticed consistently over the years is that white people try to conceal when they use the descriptive term "black" when talking about black people. It goes like this. A white person tells a story and gets to the part to describe a black person. At this time White Person forms an L with his hand and places it along side his mouth, thumb along bottom of chin and forefinger pointing up along cheek. It is now safe for White Person to say "black" in a very soft voice. White Person's bigoted actions do not go unnoticed. Black Person notices the gesture of White Person's secret pose and feels the heavy eyes glancing in his direction. Of course White Person says, "Don't Look", which makes the recipient look more. This is going to surprise some of you, Black People Know they are Black! It's not a secret. I imagine that it is not offensive to black people to be referred to as black but is very offensive to hear people say "black" as though it's a bad word.
Democrats and Republicans have come across the aisle in mass bipartisanship agreement in regards to George W. Bush being one of the worst, if not thee worst, president of all times. They agree that W. has the Midas Touch in reverse. Everything the guy does turns to portapotty shit. It can't be flushed. It piles up. It smells really really bad. John McCain brags about having agreed with Portapotty Bush more than most of his Republican colleagues.
On the other hand, Obama is thoughtful, rational, and reasonable in his thought, ideas, and clear opposition of what Portapotty Bush has done to our country. So why isn't Obama further ahead in the polls?
In the primaries when the Clintons bashed Obama for his relationship with his reverend, Obama addressed the ongoing race tensions and unequalities in our country brilliantly. He delivered the most powerful civil rights speech of my lifetime (Sadly, Dr. King was assassinated before I was born.) Obama has already made major strides in getting people talking about major issues that plague our nation, such as negative race relations. Obama is opening people's minds to accept great ideas that will move our country forward positively across the board. I don't expect neo-nazis to embrace him, but all of them would benefit from his leadership. These extremists rather be raped by greedy white control than prosper under sound, fair, black leadership.

PSSSST...He's Black

REPOST....
I'm reposting this because I think it's a tad important, and should be checked out. How did our system get so broken? We have two candidates being represented by the same Washington PR, lobbyist, Washington insider crew. The kicker is they are running "against" each other or so it seems. Barack Obama hasn't taken a dime from any lobbyists and there are no lobbyists on his staff. All they can try to get him with is that he's a Muslim (obviously not true). The tables are tilted folks. The game is rigged. Don't place anymore bets, for you are sure to lose your money.
Here's the original post:
In case you missed it. United Technologies is trying to purchase Deibold Inc. Seems odd that a company that has made and stands to make a ton of money if the war continues, now wants to buy the company that runs most of our electronic voting machines. Now look at who is one of the main lobbying firms for United Tech, BKSH and Associates. The chairman of BKSH and Assoc. is Charles R. Black Jr., who is also John McCain's chief political advisor and confidant. BKSH is a subsidiary of Burson-Marsteller, a D.C. P.R. firm who's CEO is none other than Mark Penn. Mark Penn as we all know runs Hillary Clinton's campaign. Let me see if I get all of this. Charlie Black Jr. is John McCain's chief political strategist who runs a lobbying firm that lobby's for United Tech. Mark Penn is Hillary Clinton's campaign manager who runs a P. R. firm that owns Charlie Black Jr.'s lobbying company. United Tech wants to buy Diebold Inc. From all that we know about rigged elections and how easy Diebold's machines can break down and be hacked. Why in the hell would we want a company that stands to make a killing from the war in Iraq running the voting machine company? Why are two of the leading presidential candidate's campaign people lobbying to make this happen? Did Barack Obama ever really stand a chance? The whole system reeks to high heaven of corruption and rigged elections. Why do I get the feeling we are all gonna be hailing the "Straight (chuckle) Talk Express" come November? Ugh.
UPDATE: Charlie Black Jr. has been doing the talking heads rounds trying to defend McCain from the lobbyist's in his campaign scandal. He was on "Meet the Press" with Timmeh, but Russert failed to note on air that Black himself is a lobbyist! Strange huh? How does a lobbyist defend his candidate from having too many lobbyist's in his campaign? Here's a link to all the companies BKSH has worked for since 1998, along with how much they were paid.
