dats a badd biatch! dat race card song and dance is getting harder and harder to pull off. She held her spot and didnt budge.

[Dionysos]

What did she need to stop herself from doing, exactly?

[DJ Gary-O]

yeah - i don't get it. what's the point of this post?

[jaesun]

She was arguing her point by speaking to the effect of "well other black people disagree with you" to the black chamber of commerce over energy policy and jobs that has nothing to do with race.

Its like saying "hey, even though this topic has nothing to do with race, other people of your race disagree with you so you must be wrong."

Did any of you watch the video? Anyone?

[jaesun]

Just something funny I noticed too. How many time does Harry Alford call her maam when she won't let a US General call her maam? Even though the military makes you call women of authority maam. And do you ever hear her call him General?

Barbara Boxer to General: Call me "Senator," not "Ma'am&quot

And she also brought up other organizations that disagreed. But that doesn't fit with your intent to make her out to be racist, does it?

[jaesun]

Oh OK, so that makes it OK then, huh.

So if anyone disagrees with me they can bring up how some other white people disagree with me as their argument and its legit because I'm white. And we all must think alike or esle I'm wrong for disagreeing with the other whites. Oh but thats not right... only if they bring up other groups who disagree as well. Makes sense. You win! I must be wrong then.

Find me some other white people who disagree with me and some other random group just to rubber stamp it... and I'll STFU. Because thats how it works right?

I wonder if a republican senator had used the same argument as Boxer. Would you be upset then?

Thats why no one said anything when Ruth Bader Ginsburg said a promotional exam for fire fighters was unfair to black people because it was a writen exam. Yeah, you know. Because black people can't write. Right? I mean thats her message. And no one said a f*cking thing.

I'm for a woman's right to choose the fate of her unborn child (with limitations: late-term, over usage as a form of casual birth control, etc.). Most of the republican party are against my views and they are mostly white people by stereotype, right? So am I wrong in my beleifs because a group of mostly white people disagree even though the subject has nothing to do with race?

No. On the other side, if it was a Republican senator would you have even posted it? I doubt it.

Republicans are assumed racist by the idiot left. Its not true but that's fairly common crap that oozes out of them.

If a Rep had done it I think we can be certain some one else would have started a thread about it and mocked him for being a complete idiot. And he'd have deserved it.

That a Dem would get clobbered for so shamelessly pandering on race and get called out for it is amusing as hell and thread worthy. Boxer deserved it.

The question isn't if _someone_ would have posted it, but if Jaesun would.

No it isn't... you're demanding he be wholely impartial? Just Jaesun? Why him?

At the end of the day the fact is that the dumby lady from Cali had her shit handed to her and it was funny as hell

ok... if you think global warming will hit affect Americans based on their race then I guess she was the reasonable one

He's the one who decided to open the door on discussing posters' biases, so I'm shining the mirror in his direction.


And if you thought the context of that discussion was about how hard global warming will affect African Americans, you got something entirely different out of it than I did.
