Also, exactly how did we free the world of fascism and communism when fascism and communism still exist in the world?
And you say this without an ounce of irony or reflection?
You know who else was a huge jingoist and a fan of lapel pins? Hitler, Stalin, Kruschev, Brezhnev…
You know… the guys whom the US single-handedly defeated. Wait… no it didn’t.
If we didn’t a-bomb Japan, the Soviet communists would’ve invaded and a lot more Japanese would’ve died because of communist famines and gulags.
Mossadegh was a communist.
Walking back from a store isn’t loitering. Zimmerman was upset because there was a black teen in his neighborhood.
Is it Obama’s obligation to continually scour the news for controversial statements by blacks and refutes those he doesn’t agree with? Do white presidents have similar obligations?
You happen to give three examples, two Republicans and a sexual predator, as to examples of correct black behavior.
Given the popularity of Donald Trump amongst the Lumpen, I’d say a very large percentage of Americans agree with the elimination of Islam. I have Facebook friends who are otherwise nice people, who are in credibly anti-Muslim. I’ve seen many friends of FB friends who call for violent elimination. Saying ‘Oh, those are just the nuts’ ignores how big that bag of nuts is, and starts getting into the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Treyvon wasn’t a “hoodlum”, nor was he “loitering”. What the fuck are you even talking about?
I guess Treyvon is guilty of being black then. Nice.
. . . is a thing by no means coherent or cohesive enough to warrant three capital letters, as if it were an organized entity or monolithic movement.
That’s your argument? We didn’t like his philosophy so we were justified in taking him out? Wow. This, of course completely ignores the fact that the primary reason for the US illegal act of removing Mossadegh was because America and the UK wanted Iran’s oil.
He was walking across people’s lawns and on their property; he wasn’t just using the sidewalk.
So we did the Japanese a favour?.. :dubious:
So we did Iranians a favour?.. :dubious:
America, Fuck YEAH!
I’m sure the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki appreciate the US from saving them from such a hypothetical fate.
…And?
Punishable by death by lone nutbar gunman in Florida. Thanks for the head’s up.
We get it. Black people are scary.
You should stop now.
So it’s okay for him to talk about racism as long as he doesn’t say anything to offend white people?
People who on Zimmerman’s side were more than happy to make him an honorary white.
Maybe he was too busy disavowing Jeremiah Wright, which is the only connection even fevered racists can find between Obama and Farrakhan.
Like when he said, "“Too often, law enforcement gets scapegoated for broader failures of our society and our criminal-justice system,” he said. “You do your job with distinction no matter the challenges you face. But we can’t expect you to contain and control problems that the rest of us aren’t willing to face or do anything about‚ problems ranging from substandard education to a shortage of jobs and opportunity, an absence of drug-treatment programs, and laws that result in it being easier in too many neighborhoods for a young person to purchase a gun than a book.” Not a word about slavery there.
Lack of patriotism??? Go back and watch Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention and show me anything that Herman Cain or Ben Carson said that even comes close to that level of patriotism and love of America.
You want to talk about Bill Cosby talking about race? Okay, then. Here you go.
See Jeremiah Wright, above.
His party was the National Front. It was a social-democratic center-left party and in no sense Communist.
If Cosby wasn’t a rapist he wouldn’t be getting slimed (sic). Just sayin.
If that makes someone a hoodlum, then about 99% of the people I’ve ever known in any capacity have been hoodlums.
When did Obama ever have a connection to Farrakhan?
That people who don’t like Obama think he’s divisive, and always have since he started running, no matter what he’s done.
Perhaps politically it would have been wiser to stay out of it, but when a child gets shot for what appears to be no good reason, and the killer goes free, then one might feel the need to respond, whatever Zimmerman’s race, and whatever public opinion says.
What did ever have to do with Farrakhan or the NoI?
No idea how this is relevant to anything Obama has said or done.
This is a complete bullshit accusation – nearly every speech during his campaign (and many during his Presidency) he would assert that his story, and his success, would only be possible in the USA.
Bullshit, again. For one thing, there’s no way to know how divisive Cain or Carson would have been as President (and based on their batshit insane rhetoric, I think they’d be incredibly divisive). For another, Bill Cosby is a rapist.
If Trump (who may destroy the Republican party) is the consequence, then bring on more consequences!
Well, they’re both black men in positions of authority so not only are they naturally suspect, of course they must be very good friends.
