it’s based entirely on skin color, which is exactly racial prejudice.

Oh lord. Robert, did you eat paint chips as a child?

What is based entirely on skin color? You idiot.

I think this will hurt Powell more than it will help Obama.

The O already has the black vote and who is Powell going to influence again? “Moderates”???

Don’t make me laugh…

Americans don’t like a opportunist with feet of sand.

IMO, Powell has always been a RINO. I’m sure he’s endorsing Obama for racial reasons.

Wrong again, fool! I said racial reasons, not racist reasons,

Hahaha. OMG. You are soo precious Robert.

Every time I come back to this site I am continually amazed at the level of stupidity displayed here.

What is the racial reason that causes Colin Powell to support Obama. Don’t get distracted by the fact that it is just speculation at this point. I want to hear your definition of the “racial reason”.

Ha.

Racial:

1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of one race or the races of humankind.
2. arising, occurring, or existing because of differences between races or racial attitudes: racial conflict; racial motivations.

Powell is endorsing Obama because he is black, it is a ‘positive’ racist decision and probably because they do share many of the same Leftist beliefs. Perhaps, although I don’t have any evidence they share the same Black Liberatuion philosophy?.

I never liked Powell in any capacity. He was and is a megalomaniac of the first order, quite self righteous and I knew since Vietnam that he blew with the political winds. He was always about advancing his career and I never trusted him. The General or man that promotes other people, makes them the best they can be and because of that is recognized for his talents and character is a real leader, one that is only interested in pushing the right buttons to go up the promotional ladder is only an crass opportunist!

It’s true that the Obama campaign is trying to line up some high-profile Republicans, but I do not think Powell will be one of them.

Actually he is a respected moderate. You guys are kidding yourselves if you don’t think this is a big endorsement.

What is a “racial motivation”, in your mind and what do you mean by it.

It was in your definition, moron! You explain it.

Further if you think Powell is supporting Obama (which he is not) for “racial reasons”, how is that not the race card?

I’ll ‘splain it to you one more time, idiot. Voting for someone of your own race is a racial reason, it’s not necessarily racist, unless you do it because you think other races are inferior. People naturally choose to be with others like them(sorry you don’t know that). Since Powell is totally political, he can combine his own preference for those of his racial persuasion and no doubt his own preference for leftie politics and career advancements, all tied up in one tidy package.

Once again, I didn’t say it was his only reason, fool.

You are the racist here, H, as are all lefties; you live and die by the race card, and the Obama candidacy has filled all of you with so much racist hatred that you see any mention of race by someone with whom you disagree as being racist, and without thinking, spew out your own racism.

Black liberation theology is the epitome of racist hatred in action, masquerading as religion.

Is that all you’ve got, Hannitized?

Spittle, and weird sexual references?

When you came here you claimed to be interested in debate – which has now devolved into puerile challenges, hair-splitting sophistry, histrionics, and personal attacks.

Everyone here knows I am not afraid to debate anyone, least of all you. You know it too.

I am not going to waste my time debating someone who cannot do so in good faith, such as yourself.

Wow, the race card is played strongly by Robert. Big surprise.

Wrong again, fool! I said racial reasons, not racist reasons, so it’s you playing the race card. I’m sure some white people will vote for McCain for racial reasons, as well.

Again, idiot, it’s racial reasons, not racist reasons. Maybe you are too uneducated to know the difference.

and to call his church racist for having racial motivations.

No, Jeremiah Wright is just a flat-out racist.

“White folks’ greed runs a world in need.”

Remember that greatest hit, Hannitized?

I meant Wright, not “Write”.

FYI..i stepping out for sushi in a few….so make it fast.

So where is my pal Robert? Is he hiding behind his friends…

I’m not your “pal”, moron, and I don’t hide behind anybody. Others agree with me, and disagree with you. Get used to it.

Voting for someone of your own race is a racial reason

,

So then all whites voting for McCain are doing so for a racial reason? You are unhinged man.

It was in your definition, moron! You explain it.

Yeah, but YOU used in it YOUR sentence. So YOU explain it.

You wont, because you cant because you know you are in WAY over your head.

Why do you hate the progeny of the people we enslaved to make our country great?

Explain what is racist about the quote from Write you just posted. Consider yourself challenged.

I am frankly not terribly interested in yet another session of your mendacious word-parsing, Hannitized.

I don’t have to explain it to you. You know it is racist.

You are the racist here, H, as are all lefties; you live and die by the race card,

Hilarious. You mean the race card where we accuse any white person who votes for McCain as doing so out of “racial reasons” or “racial motivations”? You are such an idiot.

and the Obama candidacy has filled all of you with so much racist hatred that you see any mention of race by someone with whom you disagree as being racist

You mean, unlike you and your racial card playing ass?

, and without thinking, spew out your own racism.

So which one of us accused the other of voting for their candidate out of racial reasons, you or I?

You……chump.

WARNING: I am about to tear you a new asshole Ken.

At least use a condom, H!

Ken,

No I know it isn’t racist. What it is was divisive, moronic and possibly hateful or resentful.

You on the other hand are too lazy to think about it in a context of logic or in any intelligent way.

You were challenged, and you lost.

So, either Powell or Obama are lying.

This report comes from Bill Kristol, not exactly wired into the Obama camp. What this most likely is is Fox News creating propaganda to make Obama look bad.

The Dems must really be getting desperate if they are looking for Republican endorsements. Wonder how that sets with their rank and file lefty base.

Sparkie. Thank you for The Truth about your ancestry. Once again, I use correct language when necessary to describe things. I hope that you now understand when I use the word our that I am referring to our country, our heritages, our history and our flag.
I shall go now for a funeral and hope you appreciated my last post about the Irish.

Proof. Thank you. There seems to be an overwhelming jump to assumptions that anyone who speaks The Truth and makes obvious observations must have somehow been a “slave holder” or profited from workers who were forced to work. The Irish were only just recently granted a monument to their construction of “OUR” water works canal here in Columbia. They were buried in the canal when they died because they were considered less than human beings. There seems be be a certain one sided view of slavery that is political, economic and a lie. I have been trying to combat this ignorance and prejudice most of my life starting in 1970 during my 29 years of teaching in public schools.

Has anyone considered that Powell may just like being in government. He has served in some aspect of government since the days of Reagan.

slave-raping tendencies of the founding fathers

… oh, puhleeze. Any high school freshman knows that the battle over the slavery question at the constitutional convention was bitter and protracted. We almost didn’t get a nation founded over that issue.

ol’ spark loves to draw attention to himself, doesn’t he?

2 a (1): preconceived judgment or opinion (2): an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b: an instance of such judgment or opinion c: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their
supposed characteristics

That pretty much sums up the race-based prejudice of Wright and his “black liberation theology”.

Since you are unaware that Powell is black, thus his “racial reasons” would most probably be “racial motivations” I guess I’ll have to school you on one more thing.

You are good at avoiding questions, but that is about it.

What is a “racial motivation”, in your mind and what do you mean by it.

Further if you think Powell is supporting Obama (which he is not) for “racial reasons”, how is that not the race card?

What planet do you live on where you think the two are mutually exclusive?

…in addition to pointing that out, you tried to insinuate that bob was just as guilty.

Not exactly. His use of the first person plural in the previous comment may have been rhetorical, but it was certainly not accidental. I was insinuating nothing that he had not previously owned up to.

Thank you Ken!

Wright’s statement is blatantly racist,

You confuse racism with anger, bitterness and resentment towards a color of skin. Let’s look at the word choice you picked.

RACIST:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

Now, let’s examine your argument.

in that he says that white folks (not some of them, not certain ones, but white folks as a whole) are greedy, and are running everything in the world in a bad way (not a lot of things, not just things in the United States, but all bad things everywhere).

First, he didn’t say “all bad things”, he said greed.

Wright is making a statement that suggests it is the whites who have the power in the world and who create the rules that make it hard for non-whites. You can argue that point, there is a lot of data to support his argument, but from a rational point of view that argument within itself is not “racist” but simplistic and divisive historical cherry picking.

When the europeans came to America, they brought a way of life that prevented the natives from participating or competing. Their desire to create a nation of wealth caused an international race to divide and conquer.

You wanna talk racism…go for it. But the fact of the matter, his argument speaks nothing about racial superiority, just anger towards a race of people who happen to be the people that changed the world and how it operates.

and without pretending that you are the final arbiter of what racism is and isn’t.

Take is up with Webster. Don’t dismiss facts that counter your argument and don’t dismiss my argument simply because you don’t like the facts I presented.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racist

His sentence came from a sermon, which I bet you didn’t listen to.

Wright’s phrase came from his ‘Audacity of Hope’ sermon, which lent the name to Obama’s book. I am familiar with the whole thing.

You are confusing racial animosity with racism.

One and the same, Hannitized.

If you have animosity towards an entire race, that is racism, and racial prejudice.

2 a (1): preconceived judgment or opinion (2): an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b: an instance of such judgment or opinion c: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their
supposed characteristics

Your own definition even says so.

That is the opposite of prejudice.

Wrong, moron; it’s based entirely on skin color, which is exactly racial prejudice.
Again and again, you ignore the basic premise of Wright’s core belief, which is black liberation theology, and that premise is that white people are inherently evil. That is racial prejudice, pure and simple.

You are a prejudiced idiot.

Wright thinks blacks are superior to whites because blacks are not ‘greedy’

Show me the sentence where Wright says this. Don’t get distracted from the sentence YOU quoted and claimed was racist.

His sentence came from a sermon, which I bet you didn’t listen to.

the way whites are, nor do they run the world in a selfish and destructive way.

Factually speaking, blacks don’t. Again, just because you don’t like way an argument was presented doesn’t mean you can call it racist without it being deserving of that word choice.

. . . and Robert is correct also.

Wright thinks blacks are superior to whites because blacks are not ‘greedy’ the way whites are, nor do they run the world in a selfish and destructive way.

You clearly ignored me…

Of course we ignored your meaningless bullshit! What else did you expect?

I submit that Wright’s statement was resentful, bitter and hateful. It certainly is divisive, but it is far from racism. The target of his bitterness in this case happens to be white power structure and governments with a 90% white cast.

Nope; that statement isn’t racist or anti establishment, he was saying the USA was a racist, horrible place. I am surprised that Wrong Reverend Right isn’t a key note speaker at the DNC convention.

Wright thinks blacks are superior to whites because blacks are not ‘greedy’ the way whites are, nor do they run the world in a selfish and destructive way.

Actually, Wright is plagiarizing Karl Marx, who claimed that the individual self-interest of the free enterprise system impoverishes the rest of the world. It’s just a corollary of the Marxist “fixed-pie” belief system.

The reason why Ken shows himself as the utter coward is that he is too fucking stupid to articulate his position and to support it with evidence and facts. He would rather rely on his emotion (“You know it is”) than demonstrate a logical argument.

Or maybe if he is “too fucking stupid to articulate his position and to support it with evidence and facts”, he could call people “honey”, talk about what’s in their pants and threaten to tear them a new anal orifice?
(Not that there’s anything wrong with your sexual orientation towards men, Hannitized! You liberals have taught us that!)

And to Bat One’s point

Nodding in agreement…

You give yourself far too much credit Ken, without the decency of deserving it.

When someone worth-while show up for a reasonable debate, I will show up.

http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/deployed_soldiers_give_more_to_obama_than_mccani_by_61_ratio#c324687

(example above)

I laid it down and you ran away. You lack the courage of your convictions. I offered you a simple challenge. To explain to me what is racist about what Wright said.

You won’t answer it because you can’t. You reacted out of sheer emotion son. You bore me.

You were challenged, and you lost. – Hannitized

Good God you are lame. – Ken McCrackhead

So allow me to explain why someone like Ken would make such a patently stupid response to another person who challenged him to explain himself.

WARNING: I am about to tear you a new asshole Ken.

Question: Why would he (Ken) say that? Answer: Out of sheer emotion!

Ken is too much of a coward to admit that there is a dictionary out in the real world that serves as the definitive judge between his choice of delusion and wishful thinking and reality and reason.

When asked to explain himself on why he feels a remark is racists vs. something else, he couldn’t rise to the occasion in any intelligent way. He simply resorts to the response, ‘You know it is”.

Why would someone do that instead of explain themselves and provide a definition? The answer is, because they cant!

The reason why Ken shows himself as the utter coward is that he is too fucking stupid to articulate his position and to support it with evidence and facts. He would rather rely on his emotion (“You know it is”) than demonstrate a logical argument.

This is yet another typical response from the brain-dead-fucking-twits that exist at SAB who also happen to think that think their shit doesn’t stink, yet they don’t have the mental capacity of a toad or the balls of a newt.

Typical political hacks like Ken allow idiots like Robert to play the race card, and at the same time pretend to be outraged about blacks being bitter over true racism.

So you might ask yourself, why doesn’t a guy like Ken care about idiots like Robert who make such remarks? The answer is simple. He DOESN’T care, pure and simple.

Ken is too much of a lazy coward to take a challenge to prove his point. He refers to things like referencing dictionaries as “mendacious word parsing” instead of providing evidence to support your argument.

Only a complete child and complete moron could pass that off as a legitimate argument and refusal to participate.

YOU are a complete phony Ken.

Every time I come back to this site I am continually amazed at the level of stupidity displayed here.

That’s because every time you come here, you make extremely stupid comments, like this one.

Since you are unaware that Powell is black, thus his “racial reasons” would most probably be “racial motivations” I guess I’ll have to school you on one more thing.
He’s a black man supporting another black man for President; there’s a lot of that going on in this election, in case you are too stupid to know that.
Hint: I didn’t say “only for racial reasons”, did I?
I’m sure, after trying to ride the Bush train to success, he has hitched a ride on the next train he thinks will take him to success and power. He got thrown off the Bush train for lying, btw.

What is based entirely on skin color? You idiot.

Black liberation theology. Educate yourself.

Wow, that post brought out the race baiters! Damn. Neiman, r108… ever think that others (i.e. not you) might have motivations other than the color of someone’s skin? Just askin’?

I think Powell is pissed from having to present bullshit and lies to the UN.

none of what you say justifies RBB’s cavalier presumption that all of us are somehow responsible for slavery

that might be true, but in addition to pointing that out, you tried to insinuate that bob was just as guilty. its a mixed message.
