Where is this "place of oppression and repression" in which Obama has suffered "through the years"? Hawaii? Harvard? The Senate? We should find out immediately and do something about this horrific crisis.
But Kerry isn't just stereotyping blacks. He is stereotyping Muslims too. And he is drawing an equivalence between American blacks, a racial minority in one country, and Middle Eastern Muslims, a religious majority in a whole region...." - InRussetShadows, on 03/22/2008, -0/+6Wait, I'm sure that we just don't understand the nuance in Kerry's words! We're just stoopid wittle conservative serfs, unable to understand Kerry's massive intellect. Of COURSE what he says is Holy Writ. Why, all his cushy years of service in the incestuous Senate have prepared him with all of life's answers and the serfs just need to wake up and give him the honor that he's due...right?
- TYRONEBR549, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5Kerry and lots not all mind you,but most white liberals are the most racists people you will ever meet. They have no respect for black Americans whatsoever. They don't believe that they can rise above their situation without the government. All the while knowing the Help they offer that being government handouts and the like are what holds them back. They do this deliberately to suppress these folk all the while saying it is to help them.They and all of us deserve better than this.
