Barack Obama, lying to the nation when he delivered his speech to the Democratic National Convention? Oh my! Aren't YOU bitter! What's wrong? Worried that the Dems have a guy who can actually speak and weave together ideas like a big boy? Someone who might kick the jambs out from under your shack in a few years? |

You kow what bothers me about him? He is more white than black in a purely genetic sense. One of his parents is white and I believe that his other parent is also partially white. So with a smaller genetic portion of him being black, why doesn't he call himself white? Or even if he is purely half black and white, why doesn't he call himself white? Oh, I wish I hadn't asked that. :) Later, Tom |

You kow what bothers me about him? I would not worry about him to much.......four years worth of voting record in the Senate....and he will not be a viable contender for prez.... He is more white than black in a purely genetic sense. One of his parents is white and I believe that his other parent is also partially white. So with a smaller genetic portion of him being black, why doesn't he call himself white? It is the La. rule.......they used to consider anyone that as little as 1/64 Or even if he is purely half black and white, why doesn't he call himself white? Oh, I wish I hadn't asked that. :) Later, Tom |

I'm not sure about "brilliant". He is a good speaker and he has a certain charisma, but let's see what he does as a Senator before we go to the brilliant claim. My point is this. He obviously is using his status as a black African American to help his cause - he is called a black man and I watched his speak with some interest as he was introduced by the various talking heads as an "up and coming African American". In truth, he can label himself as white. I was wondering why he didn't call himself a white American. Nothing more than that. In fact, I was very impressed with him although his speech wasn't as great as everybody seem to think it was - there was a lot of ambiguity and touchy feely "good" think in it. But, I'm willing to keep an open mind on him - he seems like a good candidate for a more prominent role in national politics. Later, Tom |

So with a smaller genetic portion of him being black, why doesn't he call himself white? Or even if he is purely half black and white, why doesn't he call himself white? Oh, I wish I hadn't asked that. :) Well, there are plenty of possibilities, among them: 1. He doesn't look Caucasian. 2. He understands that historically in this country and in "white Africa," "mixed" folks were discriminated against, as either being "black" or "something else," and wants to remember those who got the short end of the stick because of their skin color. 3. He isn't interested in his "racial" genetics. If that was true, then he would just call himself a male human being if it wasn't all that important to him. 4. His success as a "black man" really ****es off those whiteys who are overtly or covertly racist. There's little as satisfying as "in your face" success. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that most of the buttwipes in my newsgroup dumpster filter *can't stand* the fact that Obama, a black man, is a resounding success despite his background and because of his achievements. How's them apples? Like I said - I don't care - it was just a curiosity question based on his background. I have nothing against him in any case. In short, doesn't matter to me. Later, Tom |

He was also raised in a rural town in Kansas from age 2. Maybe he's related to Skipper? |

You can't get any mileage from being a white American in the Democratic Party...and you certainly can't play the race card in a tight election. Maybe he's saving that as his trump card? |
