If a Conservative candidate for president was to announce he was starting a "White People for Romney for President" what would the NAACP, Liberals, National Media, etc. say?  Well have you heard anyone mentioning Obama's "African-Americans for Obama?"  See for your self.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BdjoHA5ocwU

Our schools have groups that are school supported for many races/nationalities/gender orientation but if you mention a White or Caucasian Group you are immediately labeled a bigot, homo-phobe, white supremist, etc. I don't have the answer but that is how things are right now.

I think politicians no longer follow our God based Federal and State constitution, which permits "any thing goes."

What a shame that political rhetoric has sunk to this level of fear-based divisiveness, misinformation and a revisionist approach to the constitution and history...

Maybe I missed it TallTrees but do you mean that this particular thread of Obama starting an African - American for Obama movement is misinformation? If so please explain.

It's certainly misinformation in the manner that you're applying it to your divisive argument.
So what if there's a group called "African Americans for Obama?" Why is this so shocking or upsetting to you? What's so wrong about it? Why do you even bring it up? What are you trying to achieve by bringing it up?
I'll tell you why - You're inferring that those who support Obama are hypocrites and live by double standards and that the other side doesn't.
Well, I hate to burst your foxy bubble, but BOTH sides seem to be doing a fair job at double standards and hypocrisy!
BTW, your what if, you know, the "White People for XXX for President" group thing. Haven't you heard of the Tea Party?
Stop your finger pointing!

Geeze what a one minded person you are. Your knowlege of things are very limited so I won't argue with you since your closed mind is so narrow you can't see the forest for the trees (pun). The Tea Party is made up of several diverse individuals, including whites, blacks, democrats ets. I am not a member of the tea party but I can read and see what they have accomplished and who they are. Again..if a white candidate for any party, be it democrat, republican, independant,etc. started a movement "White people for X candidate... There would be an uprising and accused of racial tactics. When Obama does it apparently it is ok because he is black. I don't think it is right but if you do, be my guest. Again, no more arguments by me since you don't seem to see anything buy your narrow minded beliefs.

If your definition of narrow-mindedness means acceptance, understanding and support of minority rights then I'd rather be called narrow-minded than to come across as an old, confused, ignorant, intolerant, discriminating, fear-mongering racist.
Has the thought even crossed your feeble mind that there are African Americans reading your post?
Shameful!

 One day we will live in a nation where you call a black man black to describe his apearance and not his ideals or political affiliation. I took to heart what Dr. King said about judging not by the color of a persons skin, but by the content of their character.

 

 I would hope that in todays society that any group that came together would call themselves by a name that referenced the ideals and character of their cause.

 

 The Tea Party seems to welcome all citezens that agree that the government is out of control. However I as a white male I may not be excluded from the African Americans for Obama, but the name alone implies exclusivity.

 

 One day in this nation of ours a person will be selected for a job not based on their skin, gender, or sexual preference but on the content of their characters and ability to get the job done.

 

 Sorry about the spelling.

What's with you people? You're my neighbors? Really scary.
Obviously, none of you have experienced discrimination or you're completely clueless about history.
Honestly, why are you so threatened, defensive and skeptical about this group?
Don't you think that the name of the group references the "ideals and character of their cause." If not, then what's the problem with their name? What should they call themselves? Or, should I ask, what is inferred by the name of this group that makes you question the "ideals and character of their cause"?
More importantly, why wouldn't African Americans have a group supporting Obama?
The other candidates surely don't embrace them -
Ron Paul has suspected white supremacist ties.
Santorum says "he doesn't want to make black people's lives better" and targets blacks on entitlement reform.
And, Mitt's faith notoriously discriminated against blacks.
However, even with this wave of discrimination, there are several African American groups supporting Republican candidates:
Blacks for Ron Paul
African Americans for Ron Paul
Young Blacks for Ron Paul
Blacks for Mitt Romney
Do the names of these groups bother you too? Or, is the core issue that you're irked when a group supports Obama? Please check your hypocrisy meter for accuracy!
There's a myriad of minority cultural organizations that support specific political agenda and candidates. Using your same argument about exclusivity, would an African American be welcome at a Philadelphia chapter of the Italian American club?
BTW, there is a "Whites for Obama" group with T-shirts and bumper stickers. Conversely, there's a "Jews Against Obama" group with T-shirts. Do these groups or their names bother you too?
As for your proclaimed open arms description of the T-Party, you're so terribly misinformed - Less than 1% are black.
It's good to see that some of you are able to embrace what Dr. King envisioned. However, to truly realize his vision, it means these sort of threads should be non-existent.
Enough said.

This is the breakdown of the American population in 2011.

 

White                                                              196,817,552    63.74%

Black or African American                             38,929,319    12.60%

White Hispanic and Latino Americans         26,735,713      8.66%

Some other race                                             19,107,368     6.20%

Asian                                                                14,674,252     4.80%

Two or more races                                            9,009,073     2.90%

American Indian or Alaska Native                        32,248      0.90%

Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander         540,013      0.20%

TOTAL                                                           308,745,538  100.00%

 

So, the question you have to ask yourself is, “What are we ‘whiteys’ afraid of?”

Get over it, people, and move on!

 

The White Rabbit

Is the United States a Republic or a Democracy?

 

What do we say in the Pledge of Allegiance?

 

What is a Republic? Why did the Colonists rebel from Great Britain?

 

Both, all three parties are democracies. Majority rules. If you consider Democrats, mob rules. If you consider Republicans, snob rules. Tea party?

 

Roberts Rules of Order? Hear the minority? Then ignore the minority?

 

Have a public hearing on land use to allow a store in Dobbins, then hear the people that live next door, then ignore them because they are a minority?

 

Stocker's constituency?
