But one thing it does change is a state of mind ... African Americans have been citizens for ... (generations ) but there is a real sense now that all things are possible," said Roberts.

All things will not be possible until 'they' have a canidate that does not take advantage of blacks and prop them up as a priveleged underclass. Obama is going to end up damaging the lives of blacks more that any other president. Is the average (poor) black person thinking all things are possible in the sense of hard work and achievement leading to personal success now that Obama is in office? Or are they thinking all things are possible in the sense that the fruits of previous hard work are now going to be shared with them?

Sources: Rivera To Head Obama's FCC Transition Team

Henry Rivera, a longtime radical leftist, lawyer and former FCC commissioner, is expected to lead the push to dismantle commercial talk radio that is favored by a number of Democratic Party senators. Rivera will play a pivotal role in preventing critics from having a public voice during Obama's tenure in office.

Rivera, who resigned from the FCC nearly a quarter-century ago during the Reagan years, believes in a doctrine of "communications policy as a civil rights issue".

Things like reparations don't help anyone's psychology. It just would give money for people to blow away and the problem it was to help will be the same. If someone is feeling bad about the past history of slavery it's better to send them to a shrink or kick their ass. Success is always found by looking forward.

re: #26 Charles

Big surprise, there.

Take up the challenge, Lizards. We keep talking about how we want to speak out against the left. Here is the golden opportunity.

Next time you’re in the company of Obama supporters, say something like: “You know, I didn’t vote for Obama. But there is one reason I am ecstatic that he has been elected. American has finally proven to itself and to the world that we are not a racist nation. If a guy like Obama can be president, then we are truly a nation that embraces diversity.”

Be prepared for the “Yes-but” response. Your rebuttal should be: “Many people said that by not electing Obama we would be proving that we are a racist nation. Now that we have elected him, we are proving we are not racist. We are not a racist nation. How can we be? We just elected a black president.”

If they say that not all people voted for Obama, tell them that not all people voted for Sarah. Does that mean those folks were sexist? And was the only reason to vote for Obama the fact that he’s black? Well if color of skin is not the only reason to vote for somebody, then color of skin is not the reason to vote against them, either.

Keep driving this point home. Be firm. Eventually, the claim will stick. I really believe the election of Obama, if played correctly, will take the wind out of the sails of the leftists.

And if the race card can be expelled once and for all, it will be a huge victory. It will spell the loss of one of the biggest tools in the leftist toolbox.

It didn’t occur to me until just now how important this could be. I am so indifferent to skin color, I can’t believe we even have to talk about it. But let’s not miss an opportunity to beat the lefties on their own terms.

re: #65 A Kiwi Infidel

I had a black kid in my class demand to know for whom I voted. When I told him that part of what makes America great is we don't have to tell that to anyone, he turned to the class and said that I was "scared I was gonna get assassinated because I didn't vote for Obama."

Wowzers. Fortunately, our (black) admin suspended him pending mama-conference.

I've no way to test your veracity. But we all should worry if you are right and what you saw was not isolated.

I don't think anyone would be surprised if they try to shut down the opposition press (aka talk radio) right away.

Rush read something today how they will use the internet to destroy the opposition. What is it? 3.1M on their email distribution list? So a mass email goes calling for all 3.1M clones to "contact" someone who opposes Obama.

re: #96 calcajun

Where's the cite for the back up of the Wal-Mart story?

I would like to see the source, but I can believe it happened the way a few blacks think.

All this talk of race, age, gender...makes me feel old.

Last night I watched a special that showed a clan of lions. The females run the show and do all the hunting. There was a very large scraggly male who was the king. He was all leathery and scarred and he couldn't even get up without obvious joint pain. There were all these other males circling the clan but not daring to come in. Well this group of lions was having a tough time because it hadn't rained in a while and game was scarce. At some point a couple of hyenias made a run at one of the lion cubs. That old male was on his feet like a shot and fired out of there and scattered the hyenias effortlessly and for good measure killed one or two.

So...maybe it is time for a change, but I wouldn't beard those old lions quite yet.

re: #167 Irenike

Your rebuttal should be: “Many people said that by not electing Obama we would be proving that we are a racist nation. Now that we have elected him, we are proving we are not racist.

Actually, strictly speaking, that statement isn't logically consistent.

And let's not overstate the case. Is there still racism in America? Of course there is. (And it's not just a white thing... far from it.)

re: #122 Iron Fist

That would have been funny! Where do you think Jackson will fit in an Obama Administration? Ambassador to the UN? Sec State? I don't know where they'll stick him, but you know they're going to "take advantage of his special talents" somewhere.

re: #34 krypto

Every time I check the CNN website, or any other major news source, now that racism has ended, I keeps seeing nothing except continuous non-stop Race-in-your-Face. Even Fox isn't completely immune to this.

Yes.

re: #26 Charles

Meanwhile, the Dow is plunging.

Well, it is. But it's plunging on more rotten financial news, not on political events or the President Elect.

It's also plunging on dismal psychology brought on by the panic atmosphere whipped up prior to the election, mainly by Democrats and their media water carriers.

Look for more plunging tomorrow, when the full jobs report arrives, if unemployment is higher than expectations. If not, we may see another small rally as people scoop up undervalued stocks.

The only way Obama will have an impact on the markets is through policy or appointment announcements that have some direct economic impact, like naming a new Treasury Secretary or announcing a firm commitment to raising the capitol gains tax.

A big problem going forward: the market seems to be bouncing off a low of around 8500 - it has done so several times now, and this hints that the bad news of a recession is pretty much factored into stock prices already, with people buying the dips to take advantage of bargain prices. The next problem, though, is the massive imbalance in so many 401k plans, which are terrifyingly heavy on equities. With each rally, you'll see people fighting the rise by selling back into the market as they re-balance their skewed portfolios. There are huge sums of money that needs to be reshuffled, and this may keep the market trapped in a trading range for some time. It may have trouble breaking through 10,000 and holding that ground.

I posted this in another thread but ...

This morning my brother took my dog for a walk ...three young black guys were on the corner drinking out of paper bags ...it was around 9 a.m. ...they were chanting OBAMA OBAMA. He walked by and said "Change ... you have a black president now." ...I don't think they will be changing any time soon.

Yesterday, a friend of mine was waiting for a bus. He was standing away from people smoking a cigarette. A black lady came up to him and said "Blow that White smoke somewhere else." ... I understand if you don't like smoking ...but really ... white smoke? ... it was outside.

There is the reverse. My husband is in law enforcement. And on the back of tickets you have to put the race of the person getting the ticket. If you get too many blacks that have gotten tickets, the officer gets into trouble. Who cares if you are in a location that, the odds are most people you stop are black. You are to just look the other way so the officer does not get his ass chewed and get into trouble at work.

But let's not be so worried over backlash that we tolerate the "forelash."

Meaning lets not just see these events as bad because they could cause racism against blacks. They are bad and they are racist in and of themselves.

The Dems have successfully avoided being placed on the "put-up" side of the equation since 2006. Beginning 1-20-09 that's going to be harder to achieve.

Why do we NEED to have a discussion? They will never be satisfied. If Obama lost, we would need a national dialogue on race. Obama wins, we still need to talk about race. America has an African-American President-elect.

Didn't you know that everyone is a racist always in America? Unless of course they vote for the first black President specifically because of his race.

(I commented on this yesterday)

The problem is this:

How will we know when racism ends if we don't all agree on what the "success metric" is?

1. Giving blacks the ability to vote? Check.
2. Blacks rising to prominent positions in academia, science, law, etc. ? Check.
3. Black President? Check.
4. Kids from the ghetto signing multi-million record and sports contracts? Check?
5. Odds a black person rising to wealth and stature greater in the U.S. than any other country? Check.

What else?

I do project managment for living. You can't reach a goal if you don''t have a way to know when you've reached it.
