I think this is arguable, I think it is more telling that he didn't grow up with slavery as a major theme in his family life.

no i'm working off reality where obama lived in hawaii and indonesia and has no idea what it's like to be hated by his white overlords or his black kindred for being a cross breed.

well yeah, he's so far removed from any alleged roots by both time and distance that it's negligible

obama's black side is kenyan
obama's african-american side is from 300 years ago

he's clearly been oppressed by the white man all his life.

Doesn't matter what your personal history is. The vestiges of that same white supremacist social and economic order of America affect Barack Obama, too. Do you think a person from, say, Ethiopia, who comes to America today, has never been here, has no relatives here, is going to be treated ultimately any differently from an African American who can trace their family line back to when slavery was abolished (because their entire family history was systematically wiped out prior to this time)? To the department store own, to the woman in fear for her safety and property, and the George Zimmermans of the world, you are BLACK. And that's all that matters. The color of your skin.

George Zimmerman didn't know the nationality or genealogical history of Trayvon when he profiled him, stalked him, and killed him. He only knew the color of his skin, and that's all that matters in a racist social order, friend.

I'm trying to think of a way to explain this to a person who takes literally no time or effort in trying to understand the influence of history on the lives of people today.

Obama has lived in both worlds. He was raised by his white grandparents in white culture, but has experienced the bigotry associated with having dominant African physical features. He's half white/half black, figuratively and literally.

If your take-away from what happened in Sanford is, "Another black kid dead," then you haven't been listening at all apparently.

It's about what people find inherently suspicious in America, what they deem a threat to themselves, and how black people interact with the communities they're a part of.

That's all Obama was talking about. Being followed in a department store because somebody thinks you're going to steal something. A woman clutching her purse when you enter an elevator. Things that this president has PERSONALLY experienced as a black man in America.

What is so difficult to understand here?

The city of Detroit illustrates this perfectly. The automotive industry was in the heart of the city, then when the heart of the city began to turn brown the jobs moved to the suburbs instead of letting the minority community benefit from those jobs. It is a fact that if you are not White you are not looked at as an equal with the majority white population.

Was directed at Vaildez, as evidenced by the timestamp.

But I'm glad I was able to bring some joy and cartoon-related humor to you and your anime pillow girlfriend. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

how out of touch can one moron be?

gz was verified not a racist by the FBI.

gz was acquitted of any wrong doing by a jury of his peers.

your description of the events that evening are also clearly racially charged, yet you have the nerve to call me a bigot. fucking hypocrite.
