According to who? You? You are a mind reader now?
I dont see the word black there, i see lazy, so it seems to me you inserted that word in YOUR OWN mind, which makes YOU racist, since you think lazy only applies to black men.
Obama is not black anyway, hes mixed, so you made quite an imaginative post.
Then you agree that the term lazy to refer to a race is your construct based on your own racism in your youth.
Obama is lazy plain and simple and you can say its for any reason you like in a propaganda way, but like it or not, he really is lazy by the very definition of the word.
You are who brought up race. says more about you than anyone else, we said he was lazy.
So is his lazyness the black part or the white one since you still think that word means race.
Frederick the Great once observed that the lazy and brilliant officer is the perfect Commander, the diligent and brilliant officer is the perfect exec, the lazy and stupid officer does no harm and is suitable for routine duties.
It is the stupid and energetic officer who causes all the trouble, he said.
Reagan was also often assailed for his lack of dilligence. But he was, like Obama, the perfect CEO. He got things done mostly by having others do it.

Your enthusiasm to label him something other than black is quite suspect to say the very least.

Then you'd also accept Bush as lazy? And what evidence do you base your criticism of indolence upon?
"by the very definition of the word" - yet again, the problem lies in your convenient naivety.
There are many, many things to criticise Obama for... laziness is not one of them, and you're right - I am not a mind-reader, otherwise proving the stereotypical reference in the term would be a lot simpler to illustrate.
It's too late for intransigence, wait until I've woke up and had breakfast if you don't plan on answering my questions that can be quantified. My opinion that something was racist was due to the fact that it's so widely used and there was no other inspiration for such a comment, I never claimed it was 100% racist I gave an option out many times because I hesitate to rely upon the subjective, I use the term hesitate loosely.
Thank you again for reading.
He's not as black as Herman Cain, either in terms of skin tone or American experience wrt his heritage
Your refusal to admit he is part white is suspect imo
Wow im lazy sometimes, so i must be black according to you and racist against myself. (again since you insist laziness only means black, then youre the real racist)
Ah, the old "not a slave so not black"

I'd love to see where I refused to admit he's part white? Or is that part of conversation now? A list of things you are expected to say to represent something?
What kind of logic is this? Non-sequitor, I'm not going to waste my time on this, try again.
Look on the bright side! Credo Quia Absurdum... you may be right!
well, it is fun to watch liberals heads explode when I inform them that Bammy's white ancestors (Irish immigrants in the 1800s) likely faced more racial discrimination than his black father in Hawaii in 1960
My head is quite intact I assure you, nor do I disagree - yet I find it quite interesting to see what you did with the years.
:noid: what did I do with the years?
You compared the situation with 1800 Ireland with 1960 America's attitude towards blacks.
Take your state for example, now compare 1800 Ireland with 1800 America... 1825 America.... 1850 America... 1875 America... 1900 America... 1925 America...
I'm ambivalent about 1950 being equal to Ireland, 1925... likely comparable.
Being attached to at least half of the Irish land, I care quite deeply for the history and injustice of my guiness producing siblings..
sorry x - didn't realize you weren't murkin
I spoke in shorthand most murkins would have understood

Oh wow, a lefty who finally admits that Obama has an agenda and knows full well what he's doing to the country. Of course, Governor Beshear believes that Kentucky is full of uneducated hicks. He and his wife said, “we do believe education is the answer to so many of Kentucky's problems.” I don't know why he's complaining....those "hicks" put him in office.
It's probably hard for some people to accept that a person like Obama could become president by a vote of the people. It's likely even harder to accept that he's been successful in many things as president, the most recent the reconciliation of Israel and Turkey.
But it's actually kind of entertaining to watch the sour denials.

I'm part Irish myself. Just noting the obvious.
The situation was actually pretty similar. There is pervasive resentment by descendants of the original Hawaiians against whites and other groups associated with the annexation of the Islands.

While there was pervasive economic and social discrimination against the Irish in the Northeast, there was little attempt to prevent them from voting or owning property, or even starting their own businesses. And they weren't prevented from starting their own schools.
All of which allowed them to eventually prosper.
