Members Ryan Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 That is correct Wales. Though AC has a majority of black residents, they do not necessarily vote for candidates just because they are black. We have a diverse city council, mayor's office (the current interim mayor is white), and diverse officials at city hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Historically whites have been divided over politics. You have an example that proves me wrong? I welcome your proof of me being wrong... Glad I could be of service to you..BTW, What point is that Roman (that I helped you prove)? Again...NO ONE..ever said they did! The comments were made about minorities..not blacks voting for blacks...Where did that come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Casey, if you don't know.....no amount of explaining will help! But right on, dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thank you.....now I have Michael Jackson's song running through my head......ya know Black or White. Isn't it amazing that because I was offended that Casey kept on about Gwen Ifill's professionalism without ever having seen or heard her before and despite the fact that all McCain needed to do was ask for a new moderator we are here. Oh and the fact that I linked Ifil's wondering about possible racial motivations with Fox News' racial insensitivity (where the story originated) made Casey think I was calling him a racist and conclude that I had to be black. All of this because I apparently write hard to comprehend posts. I don't regret it at all because today's posts have been total eye openers for me. Thank all of you who stood up for me and especially you Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 I can't be serious any more now with that song in my head. UCLAN, let me tell you something about your school......obviously we can't talk football today. I still love the Bruins!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 :::Casey changes ingore feature::: Please explain to me how, by saying Ifill was under scrutiny because she is black, is not implying that those that are questioning her have racial motivations... It's pretty easy to comprehend what you were saying..Are you taking your comment back now..oh righteous one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UCLAN Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 I don't find your posts hard to comprehend at all. They are very clear and thought provoking. You seem to state your opinions and label them so. You do not engage in party speak. For me, other posters are very predictable. I can come to this site and pretty much know what their posts would be like. Yeah, I thought it was a stretch to say that you must be black because you defended Iffil with your statement. Keep up your posting. They are spot on most of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Wales can clear this up for us...Are you black, Wales? wow...just wow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Why does he have to explain? He has stated his case with a great deal of elloquence and no longer needs to explain something that you have shown you won't give him the slightest bit credit for.

Members UCLAN Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Not a football fan. My mantra is: "this is a building year". My heart aches when I attempt to watch a football game. I live, breathe, eat sleep. Bruin basketball. I can't wait for the season to start. But right now Dodger blue blood is coursinbg through my veins. It's been 20 years and I am soooo pumpedabout our playoffs so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Why does it matter what the color of his/her skin is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was questioning Ifill's ethics...Wales said her professionalism was being called into question because she is black...I put two and two together...The elloquent post left out the fact that she came right out and said only racists were questioning her...She made it seem as though I thought she was calling me a racist out of the blue..Far from the truth! I will not show the slightest bit of respect for someone that lumps me in with racists...Sorry.. It doesn't really..I'm just wondering..I wanted to know if I really was making a huge "stretch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/10/02/k...-a-nasty-bunch/ How many times does someone have to say that skin color shouldn't matter? For you to always say I'mthe one who brings up race, why are you still asking Wales what color he is? Why does that matter to you so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
