What I would like to know from any african-americans that grace these forum is this:
As hes also half white what does that make him? Does it make him Hawaiian-american because of his mother? As the Irish have already claimed (as they always do) that he has Irish roots does that make him africanirish-american?
Dont get me wrong, I wanted Obama as president (the alternative was too scary to even consider) and i'm pleaseed that america finally saw past 'race' as an issue but I must admit i'm getting a little fed-up of people ignoring the white heritage that also makes up the man known as Barack Obama. If you are a product of your upbringing (rather than just birth) then surely he should be more properly known as mykenyandadfukedoffandIwasraisedbymywhitemotherandindonesianstepfather andmywhitegrandmotherwhodidallthehardwork?
Lets hope he lives up to his promises. If he only achieves half of all that we hope he will, then he will have done 10 times more than any president since the 50's.

What's far more funny is people refusing to accept the simple truth: that their next dictator is Cheney and Bush's relative. I know quite a few people who still refuse to accept it and clinging on to it being a 'joke' regardless of how many news paper articles they are shown. Ignorance is bliss and so is stupidity.

If he achieves half of what he has promised he will have achieved the exact same as every single dictator the US has had after Kenedy (not counting Carter). |

What funny is people thinking that being somebody's 8th cousin matters... Obama and Cheney may be (I can't substantiate it on a reputable news site that has more than Lynne Cheney's word as truth) 8th cousins. That means they shared a great great great great great great great, yes, that 7 greats, grandparent. So 9 generations, for expediousness, call it 20 years to a generation, that means President Obama and former Vice-President Cheney's blood relation ended approximately 180 years ago. Now, since it is common knowledge that good people can have horrible kids and horrible people can have kids who are angels, why does it matter that Cheney and President Obama might have had a common ancestor 180 years or more ago?

150 mil is nothing compared to the 4 Billion a week spent on the war in Iraq. President Obama is the first African American president in the history of the United States. HE HAS EARNED IT, unlike some of our other presidents.
Please explain to me exactly how he has earned anything? This statement embodies all that is wrong with Affirmative Action. President Obama is a man, equal to all other men, not above them, not below them. Therefore, he has earned nothing but the respect due to the President of the United States of America, no more, no less.
Politics is an exercise in charisma more than anything else. He has done no more than any other President before him.
ninja edit- The reason there was 3x as much spent on his inauguration though is due to the unprecedented crowds expected at the Mall.
As white men, we enslaved an entire race, because we deemed them as inferior. When have the Blacks ever recieved TRUE retribution. We remained racist, and many are still racist now. It's sickening.
My point is, he has earned his inauguration, just like any other president. 150 mil is a chump change compared to the money that is wasted every day. As usual its the ousted party making a big deal over nothing to garner their support back.
Enjoy not being in office for a while republicans.
as white men, at most 15% of us enslaved a small percentage of the entire african/black race, and it was going on in less than half of our country's states
just shut up
EDIT:
i didnt enslave anyone, nor did my father, nor my grandfather, nor my great gradnfather
i helped my black neighbors move into their house, my father invited my brother's black friend who was only 17 (which could have become a lawsuit/kidnapping case) to live in our house because of major problems at home, he slept in a bed while i slept on a couch, and we ate out of the same fridge and off the same dishes
again, shut up

No sane adult wants a war. You might as well ask a fireman why he hopes he won't have to fight any fires today. |

Of course not but if you join the military you can expect to be sent abroad for different reasons (humanitarian, intervention). If I were in (and I've kept the option open tbh) I would really like to be able to help others in a slightly unconventional way.
There was a huge fuss a few years ago when Dutch troops were being sent to Afghanistan and crying moms and dads appeared on tv appealing to the defence minister not to send out their dearest kids to a warzone. (lots of drama ensued) I'm sorry but what the ****? It's part of the bloody job, if you don't want it, pick a different job. |

By "skills" I was referring specifically to the skills of war. I have no problem with being deployed to fight a war or otherwise, however; I hope that I will never have to fight. I know the likelihood of me spending my entire career doing nothing but training is very low, but that would be ideal. My reasoning for joining is that I believe that, despite its flaws, the US is the best country on Earth and I feel a duty to defend my country and my people.
To put it in the words of one of my cadre at the end of last semester, "You are being given the skills necessary to kill people and break stuff, if that doesn't scare you, there's the door." |

Would you rather give the sweat of your brow to the guy standing next to you, or die fighting another war?
how about neither? this seems like a better option than both. unfortunately 2 party systems dont allow for "neither" |

But its still happening in 09 if nethin the NAACP needs to just go away period they are the definition of racism actually all these groups needs to just go away. Racism has no place in 09 imo but yet still exists, it still exisits because the parents keep this **** alive they instill this **** in their kids ffs blame the white people for all of our troubles blah blah ****in blah. Im gonna be 27 this yr and I was raised not to hate a person because they are differant. People just need to get over themselves and quit *****in bout every little goddamn thing read the ****ing news, the ****s in there every ****ing god forsaken day. Religion needs to go away too. Some people just need to read the local news coming out of the states specially where I live and thats jacksonville ****in FL. Speakin o which the local NAACP chapter was in town not too long ago *****in cuz of all the black people getting shot at and killed news ****in flash tis the black folks who r committing the majority of violent crimes and shooting at the ****ing police hint hint if you shoot at someone you gonna get shot back at regardless of wut color you are. People needs to ask themselves how can I stop racism? Answer: Stop instilling the hate n all the bull**** in your kids and tell them to answer for there own actions, its not one particular race of people that r the cause of this so people stop blaming others for your ****ups and start taking responisibilty for your actions. People need to be treated the same end of story. Sorry for the wall of text had to get this **** off my chest as I am tired of racism and comments and wut not about it let it die already
Haha who the **** is going to read that **** it's **** possible ******* *******
Also, *****
Tis called a werd filter get used to it also if you feel creative feel free to fill in the ****

Obama is gonna fix this US and he is already starting by reversing some of bush's policies so all we can do is hope.
Agreed Sokratesz.... I was totally against the wall street bailout was actually really ticked off that they gave the OK for it. The automotive industry I can understand but wall street?
