Quote:she called it his "home country" in a speech. but of course she misspoke.... OF COURSE she misspoke
She didn't mis-speak. She said it was Barrack's home country in Africa. Oh man. You guys... This is sad. Barack's home country on his dad's side is Kenya. His dad was a Kenyan. That doesn't mean he was born in Kenya.
Dude, Badger. Get it together. This is not a good look for you. It makes you sound like you don't understand the context of what it is to be an African American. Most black folks can't trace their ancestry back to a specific place in Africa. Obama can.
That doesn't mean he was born in Kenya. Dude... Just stop...

I've never been a "birther" or harped on it. i was merely telling you what he was referring to since you seemed ignorant of it and made a joke. Calm down

Sorry. I just googled your description, and listened to the speech Michelle gave when she said that they visited Barrack's Home country of Kenya. It was clear to me what the reality of her speech was. It got me a little riled up. I didn't mean to take it out on you, per se. It's just annoying to have to rummage through the muck of that to get to the truth.
The truth is this:
It wasn't a mis-statement. She was talking about the African American struggle... Barrack is lucky in that he knew where his father came from.
It's lunacy to try and portray what she was saying was an admission that he was born in Kenya. Obviously it wasn't, if you actually understand the struggle. I'm not black, but I've hung out and partied, and worked with enough black people to know that what Michele was saying was not a mis-speak. She's talking about the struggle.
It's real. And it continues. Obviously.
Quote:I gotta say, the last 8 years for me professionally, monetarily, and socially has been a complete 180 from the prior 8 years under Bush.
I bet you if you asked this to every american, most of them would agree.
So you have been more successful professionally as an accountant from 29-37 than you were from 21-29????? You don't say!!!
This is a result of life. Not who is in office.
Quote:that's a myth cooked up by establishment owned media and the "offended" culture they helped create. they have been force feeding that narrative since day one. that's what they do to opponents. call them racist bigot and claim the moral authority. it's as predictable as the sunrise.
"The media" didn't put that in my mind.
Donald did that all by himself.
Quote:"The media" didn't put that in my mind.

you say "the media" like it's not real. it's the medium by which you are getting your information, and it's basically owned by the same people who own the politicians. so if information is presented in a certain way (in Trump's case, in negative light), you better believe it will have an intended impact on its subjects
and like i said, even if you were at the conference and heard his comments from the horse's mouth and got offended, you cant separate yourself from culture. the media has shaped our culture to be hypersensitive to speech.
that's what this whole race boils down to. Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, WHATEVER you want to call him because of something he SAID (and in my opinion its so overblown and misconstrued). Hillary however who says everything the right way and all the right things, has an actual track record of deceit, corruption, and bloodshed in her wake.
The Hillary speech was not live. It was filmed in a studio, probably because she required multiple takes to get it right. There are people holding up camera phones, but the phones show an empty stage that doesn't even look like the one Hillary is on. There's no red and white striped background, no flags, and no Hillary in the phone images. There's also an unusual 6-second blackout at the end of her speech. Probably some glitch they couldn't cover up.
Her health must really be failing if she can't do a short speech without a cognitive issue.

lol ... you keep getting better and better. Don't ever stop posting.
And, like Donald, I've flip flopped. No one can be this deep in the morass of conspiracy. Perhaps I'm giving you too much credit, but no one is this gullible, are they? You
are a staff writer for Comedy Central.

No, you have it just backwards. The conspiracy is right in front of your eyes and you are too deep in the morass of normalcy bias to recognize it. I guarantee you didn't bother debunking my claim before posting your automated response. You don't trust your own eyes and brain.

The mass media psychodrome has created a very tight spectrum of permissible "thought" for <i>Boobus Americanus</i>, and very, very few stray outside of it, since the repercussions & penalties are grave (loss of prestige among "friends" and family, loss of job/career, even loss of life in extreme cases).

Do you even know anything about him?

Yeah, that's it. It's them, not you. Keep on thinking that. That way you stay way on the outside, having no influence and changing nothing.
Which is all for the good, of course.

Lol.
1.) my family and I are doing just fine. Land me on mars and I will be successful.
2.) I was reffering to GDP.

I change myself. How often? It Depends.
Quote:yeh, its amazing how many dems became stallwarts of civil rights legislation after the pictures of them spraying black people with water hoses shamed the country into allowing black people to vote. Nevermind that the republican party was founded to end slavery. nevermind that the entire reason that we needed a voting rights act in 1965 was because in 1865 a Democrat actor shot the republican president to put a democrat in office. Nevermind the mascot of the democrat party in part symbolizes the miss treatment of native americans. Never mind that when the first republican was elected to office the Democrats quit the country.
nevermind the fact that LBJ called MLK a n#@$. Nevermind he expressly said during the war on poverty to "give them something but not enough to make a difference" and "I'll have black folks voting democratic for a century" nevermind that the policies they enact to help black people don't actually HELP BLACK PEOPLE (black poverty is up, black home ownership is down, black people on food stamps is up over 50% now that's change you can believe in!) Never mind the fact that American Eugenics (think final solution) pioneered by Margaret Sanger (the virgin Mary in the eyes of progressives) has killed 20 some odd million black people
Forget all that. Forget about the perpetuation of drugs in our community. Nevermind the slaughterhouse that is the inner city. Forget the fact that we sold the soul and the spiritual legacy of our community to become the rapists of our own women (only a 25% legitimacy rate that is functionally unsustainable for any society.) Forget the fact that teachers unions and schools still get 10k plus per child not to educate our children.
Forget anything having to do with reality. Hillary Clinton said she carries hot sauce in her bag. That means she cares. I'm all in!!!
There was a time when white developers would go around to black neighborhoods and low ball them for their property. you know how they did it? lot worth a quarter of a million dollars, "I'll give you 50k cash and a BRAND NEW CADILLAC!!!" Black America is heir to the same economic opportunity as anyone in this country and the special heritage of all those that struggled before us to allow us full access to the promises of this land. You let a woman and a pants suit come in waving an EBT card and we sell out? Really?
Great post and worth a bump..
