Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Liberals far overweight race as a factor in decision making. I call Obama a nig everyday
I know, it's a pity for some of us here. I wonder why you couldn't bring yourself to type the last 3 letters. It's obviously worse than fucking cunt, but I've seen you use that one. I believe you may have used that one on me, or I on you, or both : )
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Now beyond the surface there's clearly nuanced perceptions. Would some of Obama's obvious ethical issues bother me if he was white? I'm not sure. I suspect though it's more idealogical than racial. Alan Keyes was a man of complexities and I was devoted to him. Not because of his race lol but because of his stand on issues. It's the same with black voters. Run a conservative black against a liberal white and the white guy gets 85% of the black vote. Politicians, athletes, artists are all iconic. Their talent rules the hearts and minds of voters/fans/consumers above race or even gender. The American street? A different story....
More idealogical than racial for you?
I know you hate to hear this but there are those of us who, having heard your views on black people, tend to think that you pre-judge blacks. We believe this because you have said in the past that, for example, 45% of black people are assholes or that blacks are genetically predisposed to criminal behaviour (I know your friend Dan believed in this, I think I recall you agreeing with him but you can correct me if I'm wrong).
You often cite your support of Keyes as proof that it's not about race but about ideas. I guess I would have to consider the possibility.
With regard to this second para. more generally, I would just say that I think you're giving the average voter waaaay to much credit. The decisions made on election day are going to be a lot more visceral than this, and I believe that on the day, there are going to be a lot of people who vote race.
