No, you're a racist. The "thinking" behind this statement of yours fits the definition so I'm not surprised at how you referred to Obama in this thread. You're also a coward because you're hiding it behind bullshit excuses and rationalizations. You're also a waste of space.

Let's vote for a black guy because we all know how well blacks (generally speaking) can manage their affairs. The whole Africa is kind of testimony for that.

Quote from Cesko:

The word "racist" gets used very often and inappropriately on this site. So I just wanted to provoke reaction from idiots like you.

Yawn...ever heard of personal responsibility? Last time I checked, the USA was not threatening to nuke people who didn't wanna invest in or trade with it. It's not the 19th century anymore.

You are 100% dead wrong! One of the reasons for the Iraq invasion was the it was going to diversify its reserves into EUR.

You mean they threatened to convert their US $17m in total currency reserves into EUR?

Wow. Bush probably pulled the trigger when he heard that!

There will be a lot of finger pointing blaming this and that but let's not forget that it is basically a moral and ethical internal problem.

The culture of self serving greed where values like honesty and integrity are laughed at and despised is a major cause of the West's recent failures.

If Mafia principles are allowed to rule then the decent world will surely be engulfed by sleaze and criminality. Hollywood's films like The Godfather have influenced people imho. Peddling crap culture for --- yes you have guessed -- cash and more cash regardless of the results

Who gives a $&*# who's fault it is? Everyone is suffering because we've lived in some hocus pocus dream fantasty global boom built on NOTHING! EVERYONE BENEFITED FROM 2003-2007!!!!!

China, ALL OF EUROPE, Russian, mexico, India, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA, MOST OIL EXPORTING COUNTRIES!!!1

So now that these ass bags are losing business because WE are slowing down, it's instantly a blame game? What IF the USA never had their 2003-2007 dream run and NO money flowed from US citizens hands to the rest of the world? DOn'T CORRELATE YOUR BUSIENSS MODEL BASED ON US BUISNESS IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HARD TIMES!

Most Americans don't even understand how the world functions and what role their government plays in it. All they know is what they absorb from Fox News, CNN US and American Idol.

It is only a few at the top that control the entire "Amero-centric" world. The WASPs or British-Americans (clintons, bushes etc) are now a member of a multiplicity. Many of the other members of the American elite attempt to mimic the WASPs and adopt their culture.

Most Americans don't even know why their nation is so wealthy. The propaganda in the US media is using catchwords like "innovation" and "productivity" as the very reason for their high standard of living, when in fact the majority of Americans were far from wealthy until Post-WW2.

You have a very strong understanding of the world affairs. You must be rolling in the dough. I wish I knew as much as you do.

If the WASP stop giving me the little I have I am completely screwed.

BTW how wealthy is the US? I am assuming you mean the US government when you say "why the nation is so wealthy". Who do you mean by the term nation?

This board makes Farrakhan look like a zionist.

RACISM is alive and well on ET and in my opinion is condoned by management given their lack of response and silence on the matter.

The racist posts full of hatred by Mag Light are a prime example of this. Last time I checked, he was still allowed to be a member.

Baron must be very proud of how far ET has come over the last several years . . .
