Moen is back! The keeper of the light! All hail Moen! All hail Moen! Oh Moen can you see by the dawn's early light... We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
Vess1 and Dave. You seem to feel the pulse of America. Why dont you two team up 2012. Together you guys can kick us back into the stone age. Where men grunted and women served. Where white guys rule and blacks know thier place. And Jews better watch thier step. The past was nice fellas, but this is now. Get use to it.
Craig, while as usual, I find your post very amusing, could you point out where I would kick us back to the stone age? What should I be getting used to? Any substance for me? If you're implying that I'm uncomfortable only because he's black, well, half white, 35% arabic and the rest African American, you're wrong. I have invested the time to get to know who he is and I'm upset by it. Most people have only invested enough time to see him waving and smiling behind his Change podium so they are happy. Pretty much as simple as that.
Sorry, I was off by a bit. Just to clarify: "Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming "America's first African-American president" ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama's great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator's ethnic composition.). That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. Put another way, his father could honestly claim African-American ethnic classification. He was the last generation able to do so." The question no one wants to answer - particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, "Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father's side have an Arabic name?" The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father's side of the family tree is Arabic. Need proof? Research the Kenyan records for yourself. You will find that his father was officially classified as "Arab African" by the Kenyan government."
Does he have ANY Irish in him at all? If not, then WHEW!!! I thought for a moment we were in trouble. What you posted above sounds like you are very upset by who he is. And by your dissecting every part of who he is, its clear you are not uncomfortable only because he is black.
'Arab' brings to mind a certain image because of our times and how we use it but is it really a race? His dad looks kinda black... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080111.wobama_gallery0112/PhotoGallery01?slot=1 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jazzman_rkm24/2298590847/ http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_...family_pictures_give_rare_glimpse_into_o.html http://barackobamainpictures.com/BarackObama/BO5.htm
lol I like that one. I know it seems ridiculous but there it is. It's just a C&P. I posted it in anticipation of someone next wanting to fight about his ethnic background and trying to claim that I'm just making it up. And that in all likelyhood this person has done more research than the person(s) here wanting to fight me over it. That's all.
Yeah, but do we really know if it's his real father, step-father, adopted father, God Father? Who knows? We'll assume for the argument's sake that it's his real father.
As long as he isnt Burmese...My father told me not to trust the Burmese...they are all liars and thieves
