QOTD: Morgan Freeman Doesn't Think Obama Is America's First Black President

One thing I don't get and it's the reason behind why ancestry and the amount of melanin in people's skin count so much in the US. It's supposed to be a multicultural country, isn't it? shouldn't people be used to seeing people of all origins and skin colors by now?. Aren't all US americans mixed anyway?. "Pure blood" doesn't exist there, homies.

Leave that to the countries with very few cultural or people diversity, since they're mostly used to seeing people looking pretty much the same.

Obama doesn't identify as black for political gain, if being black guaranteed the presidency, Sharpton would have been president long ago. No, he identifies as being black because society deems his appearance as that of a black man. Unfortunately, Obama doesn't have the opportunity to shut the fuck up about his race as not to insult his ancestors as I'm sure any decent human being would do; no his race is brought up all the time at almost every turn so it's impossible for him to avoid, in fact avoiding it would probably make him look weak and unwise, which is never good.
___________________________________________________
What Kool Aid are you drinking? Obama DEFINITELY uses his "race" politically. He basically shames black people into voting for him. Did you see the back lash black Republicans got for endorsing McCain in 2008? I heard people state they were "disrespecting" themselves for backing McCain. If you were a black woman endorsing Hillary---you were really screwed and had to pick race or gender.

I would have FAR more respect for Obama if just said: "I'm a mixed raced man." He will not do that though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So black people aren't capable of objective thought who vote for who they believe to be the better candidate but have to be shamed, threatened or otherwise coerced into voting? I don't think that's correct. And I fail to find a reference where Obama said black people were "disrespecting themselves" by voting for McCain, link please? And how were black women torn in deciding between Hilary and Obama? I'm lost, I never once saw, heard, read or viewed anything where black women discussed their indecisiveness between the two candidates for these reasons, link please.

But we all know there are no links. You have no evidence to back up your claims that Obama is using his race to get ahead because there is no evidence, just your own insecure racist beliefs. That's why your original arguments are so weak. Your readiness to believe these generalized, simplistic views about African Americans only speak volumes about your own racism.

Oh yeah, p.s., you should probably stop using that Kool-aid reference, that term only came into popular use after Obamas election as a derogatory term, it used to be "punch" before that. You probably shouldn't use it if you don't want people to think you're a racist.

But just a couple post down you accused him of being a lazy, free loading, basketball playing, crack addicted welfare queen, who only got to were he was because of affirmative action.

***
I have not accused him of anything.

He himself admits to using crack in his autobiography.
He has made a point of identifying himself as a basketball player.
He himself admits he used affirmative action

Now you admit there might be other reasons for his being accepted?

***

No. Those are not reasons for him being accepted. Those are reason why he should not have been allowed to use affirmative action to be accepted.

****

Bush received a fraction of the achievements Obama did in school but no one questioned his entrance into a top tier university when he became president, yet Obama does.

***

Wrong. Bush has published his SAT scores, and we know his military test scores (where he had higher scores than both Kerry and Gore). Bush flew jet fighter planes in the Air National Guard, I there is no way in fucking hell that Barack Obama is smart enough to fly a jet plane. He would be upside in deep water off Martha Vineyard quicker than you can say "Jon-jon".

Barack Obama has no record of academic achievement outside of the grooved affirmative-action path setup for him by his fellow communists who control Harvard University. Ya' know, kind of like his fraudulent Nobel Prize and Grammy Awards.

***
Now, imagine how hard it would be for him if he met with a college recruiter who held these same preconceived notions about black people as you.

****
There are no preconceived notions, there are SAT and ACT scores. And blacks get into Harvard with IQ's 30 points lower than a White or Asian need. That's just a fact.

****
Imagine he didn't have the advantages Obama had. Imagine if he'd been raised in a government project supported by welfare checks and played basketball in H.S., he could have an IQ of 190 and a 1800 SAT score, but he aint getting in to Harvard when ....

...politically connected pieces of shit like Barack Obama steal affirmative action away from him...

****
The reason there is Affirmative Action, because of people like you.

That being said, I am SO SICK of race being a deciding factor in everything, including scholarships. I was denied scholarships because I'm white. That's a little racist to me, amirite? I think this country would be better off if we took race/ethnicity off the census and anything else that determines life.

I had a professor that was into urban education. She would go off on these soapboxes to a class of 14 white girls and 3 black girls. It was so awkward and I felt like I was being yelled at for being white. She was going on and on about minorities not having the means to get an education. I'm like, bitch, I'm 50 grand in debt. Mommy and daddy didn't pay for my education and I'm broke as fuck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Really? You got a reply letter that stated you totally qualify for this scholarship but we're not gonna give it to you cause you're white? That's totally illegal, you should probably sue somebody.

IKR, colleges are OVERRUN with minorities, they're totally represented in equal ratios to the census. Fuck, minorities have it so freaking easy, time to stop with all the race based scholarships and affirmative action and make everything equal like it used to be back in the 60s!

Obama is as African American as any other African American born in America and as much as you seem to think of Kenya as a land of milk and honey in which no one has ever struggled, I beg to disagree. And this point of him never having struggled, did Romney struggle? Bush? Has Obama ever portrayed himself as someone who's faced uncommon adversity? I wonder why you assume that just because of his race he would try to identify as a struggler....maybe you think black people in general have to struggle more to receive the same advances as others. Maybe you think a black person who comes from a stable, privilaged environment is rare as a 20' inch dick and those who have received such advantages wouldn't embrace them, no, they'd jump at the opportunity to identify with their less privileged brethren in order to gain an unfair advantage.

And as for Obamas missteps, they aren't reported as frequently as Bush's because they aren't common and major as Bush's were. And it's weird how you attribute the few missteps Obama has made to his arrogance or uppittiness....wasn't one of the majorly reported things how he bowed to a foreign leader? That seems like the very opposite of arrogance don't you think?

Dubya wasn't torn apart, he was made out to be an unquestioned leader by many news outlets in this country. The Dixie Chicks aren't played on the radio anymore simply for questioning him, Britney famously stated we should just do what he says cause he knows things that we don't. The places where Dubya was "torn apart" were on late night TV shows and SNL making fun of his many displays of stupidity, Obama has far far fewer displays of stupidity therefore he isn't made fun of as much, but don't worry, he is torn apart daily on FOX and AM radio so that should help you sleep better...

Is playing a cunt on the internet as satisfying as wanking into your mum's nightie? Because something tells me you'd know all about that.

PS. And honestly, Obumma doesn't deserve to be prez. The way Hillary was treated by the Democrats and the media was fucking shameful. I guess the "good ol' boys club" couldn't wrap their tiny minds around the idea of a woman winning the presidency, so they shoved this idiot at us instead.

*********

I'm here to kick ass and drink tea. And I'm all out of tea.

I'm really tired of people "deciding" to be of whatever ancestry. "Oh, he identifies as black" - he's a mewling little politician, meaning he'll identify as Martian if he can get votes.

Identify as everything you are, of every color, or shut the fuck up about race. You are insulting your ancestors if you do otherwise.

Then again, it's kind of dumb of Morgan to be deciding what "black" entails since almost all African-Americans are also of mixed ancestry. Most have a chunk of white and Native American ancestry.

And as we think of it, Obama is not African-American. He is an American with African ancestry. As much as he'd like us to forget it, he's not descended from anyone who has struggled, and he's never struggled himself.

Oh and before anyone accuses me of being one of the Evil Evilly Evil Conservatives, I think W was a horrible president. But it makes me sick whenever Obama gets a free pass on stuff that SHOULD have made him a national punchline and/or hated by all.

Seriously, if any other president had come up with GIFT REGISTRIES for weddings and birthdays so people could donate to his campaign, he would have been flayed alive… and rightly so. Or if he kept standing up and speaking over another nation's national anthem, as if he thought the world was providing him with a soundtrack cuz he's just that wonderful. Fuck, can you imagine if that idiot Dubya had done that? He would have been torn apart, but everyone pretends that Obama doesn't act just as stupid as he did.

I'm also disgusted by how desperately he wants to be a celebrity, but that's a rant for another day. Suffice to say, I hope both Romney and Obama are killed in a random meteor strike and that Morgan Freeman stops assuming that we care what he thinks.

Now back to snarking on Tom Cruise.

Canada jumped in to do their part in Afghanistan from day one. We said fuck Iraq cause we knew it was a political war. We stayed and fought through the heaviest of fighting in Afghanistan the entire time. Even when things "cooled down" in Iraq we were still fighting.

People have no control over their biological makeup, so I don't think that's a reason to base an opinion on someone.

My hesitancy toward Obama was that he had barely warmed a seat in the Senate for part of a term before running for President.

But I didn't like McCain or Palin at all, so I think we were stuck either way.

I always said Obama was the first mixed-race president, but people jumped down my throat with "He identifies with being black." Obama may "identify" with being black, but he is not all black. I "identify" with being Native American, but if I tell that to the government, I have to show how much blood I have in me! Per usual, it's all about use. It's in Obama's favor to identify as "black."

I look more white than black so because people view me by my skin color I should claim white? If I were president no one would call me the first black president. He's biracial. Fact. His mother is white. Fact. How is it disrespectful calling him what he is? I guess if Clinton said call me black we should have all respected his wishes and called him the 1st black prez. Factually speaking he's biracial that is NOT an incorrect statement is what I'm saying.

I'm sure it doesn't matter his momma was white when faced with bigots that really just judged him based on what they saw and B. Obama's mixed heritage is a perfect representation of what it means to be American. We're a melting pot and what's great about this country is people being proud of their mixed heritage.

Now you admit there might be other reasons for his being accepted? You said those things even knowing about his background because he is black. Bush received a fraction of the achievements Obama did in school but no one questioned his entrance into a top tier university when he became president, yet Obama does. Now, imagine how hard it would be for him if he met with a college recruiter who held these same preconceived notions about black people as you. Imagine he didn't have the advantages Obama had. Imagine if he'd been raised in a government project supported by welfare checks and played basketball in H.S., he could have an IQ of 190 and a 1800 SAT score, but he aint getting in to Harvard when that is the prevailing institutionalized racist attitudes held towards blacks in America. The reason there is Affirmative Action, because of people like you.

-------------------------
Wow, that sounds scary. Stay Safe. I wish we could get some rain here, and some cooler temperatures but I think we could all do without that tornado stuff

Thanks Unemployed; power went out and then shit went back on and damn friend called. Hope you get some rain also; the rain is good but the green tornado skies and insane lightning and tree limbs breaking off is no joke. This weather is either stifling dry or ridiculously stormy and humid.

"Morgan Freeman is correct and people should start calling him as such."

Isn't that sort of disrespectful? If someone says they are Black, shouldn't you respect the person enough to call them that?
It's like calling someone a man, even though that person has had a sex change and is a woman now.
Why should someone let other people define him or her?

The math part of the SAT screwed me over, too.

Yeah you can't have survived 8 years of GWB and say with a straight face that Obama's the worst ever.

I don't like conspiracy theories but when someone literally spends MILLIONS of dollars hiding their past (school records, not the BC) in the legal system, you at the LEAST have to give a side-eye to that.

Dude, your president did not spend millions to hide his records. Please find a section of an article written by Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post addressing that. I believe you practice "selective reading".
"The $2 million is a figure that has been promoted by World Net Daily, a conservative Web site that has tried its best to fan the flames of the birther movement. In a number of articles, it has speculated that all of the legal fees spent by the Obama campaign since the election have been devoted to defending the president against a series of lawsuits concerning the certificate — all of which have been ultimately dismissed as frivolous.

According to Federal Election Commission filings, since January 2009 those legal fees total $2 million.

The filings do not break out exactly how much was spent on the lawsuits and Obama campaign officials decline to engage in 'birther' questions. But it’s pretty clear that the bulk of the legal spending was devoted to other matters, such as winding down the campaign and defending against FEC investigations into the financing of Obama’s presidential bid. John McCain’s campaign, which did not raise nearly as much money as Obama, has spent $1.3 million on legal fees since the election, according to an article last month in Roll Call."

"Sometimes you just have to say,.....What the fuck"

The real question is..who is to blame for this?
