4dollars15cents's Blog

What I hoped is that people would youtube and then comment on my blog about the footage on there about the Clintons and there past. That didn't happen, so I will flip my two cents into your bucket... Most people don't understand the electorate process, less the direct influences it has apon there lives. My question is why are we considered miorities. but when it comes to election the blacks are the only ones splintered off to have political influence. You never see candidates campaigning for the Asian vote or the latino vote.? An supposedly they out number us and run a close fourth right behind us in population. This is a retorical question... The reason the parties do not campaign to those demographics is because they have never exercised political influence. They assimilate into white America.If the minorites were to come together and vote as one sense thats how they classify us any other time, then we would have more influence now than we have ever had. Be very weary of the things they say sense the have the power to see us as minorites and then turn around and splinter us when benefical to them. Also do your home work on your candidates before casting your ballot. You don't have to look hard nor far to realize were still under the Reagan RESIGME. Better yet ask yourself this question how can you go from Arkansas to D.C. to a senator in New York. Virtually with out missing a beat. Normally well at least where I'm from your senators and representatives are just that representatives of there region. There not career journey men. Or in this case women. These are just my t

"THE BLACK VOTE" IS VOTES FROM BLACK VOTERS, EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF US WON'T VOTE, THEY ARE TRYING TO EDUCATE AND PERSUADE BLACKS TO EXCERCISE THERE RIGHT AND COME OUT AND VOTE, ALOT OF PEOPLE, BLACK AND WHITE FEEL THAT THERE VOTE WON'T COUNT, THAT ALL POLITICIANS ARE CROOKS AND TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR TO GET YOUR VOTE AND GET IN OFFICE.

The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.

Diamond Dave, what does any of that have to do with the subject at hand?

If you have some pre(hyphen)judgements against anyone, regardless of their ethnicity, then you are free, as an American, to say what you feel.

However, you must also understand that your views are yours.

The Black vote is a counted vote. However, I feel that candiddates shouldn't go after a particular vote from any ethnic group. Because when you do that, it really shows how divided this country truly is. But not only that, it really shows that our government really don't truly focus on all of the issues.

There shouldn't be issues that are only focused on Black people, no more than there are issues only focused on Whites and whom ever else. When we seperate the issues, we tend to lose focus on the realism of our democracy.

The issue of violent crimes and such isn't just a Black issue; it's a national issue. The issue of education isn't just a Black issue; it's a national issue. Regardless of what the statistics says, African-American issues are not separated from any other issue in America. And I just feel that candidates should treat those issues any different than any other national issue.

Because as long as we stay divided and complacent with our selfish views, we will never know what it's like to grow in the true American spirit.

For those that can't follow the evolution of the country. The reason the black vote is courted is because we're the only demographic that has expressed our voice politically. I.E. the civil rights movement. Our unified movement effected not only the nation spiritually it effected the foundations of institutions built through capitol. Hence they acknowledge our voice because we demanded to be heard. An any half witted polotician knows we once united for poltical change therefore they court our vote. An i will always hyphenate my status becuase this is the only piece of my history that I can be sure of. Everything else is so distorted. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. An Africa is the womb of the world.

My post was too long so it was cut off. To continue...Asians think Black people are dumb and incapable of learning. We will always be separated between ethnic groups as long as ignorant people like that still exist in this world.

Also true: "Clinton and Obama shouldn't be fighting over "Black" votes. They should be embracing the policies that they are campaigning about." Like I said before, they both need to try to capture the "White vote" in GA since it appears that the Whites will dominate the elections here. They should both just stick to the issues at hand.

Black people and White people are different, but we all have similar issues.

HLHarris, I really didn't catch your focus. Well, at least, not all of it. And I actually sat down and tried to read it. However, allow me, in my own opinion, address some of your statements.

First off, the so-called "Black-White" divide isn't built upon hate. And reason being, there's no premise for hatred. For anyone to hate another person, solely based upon their skin color is a zip dang fool.

Slavery, in the United States, and the Civil War had absolutely nothing to do with the hatred of Black people. Nor is slavery is the primary cause for the United States to be divided. All of that has been one big fat lie after lie.

Slavery and the Civil War, as with a lot of hypocrisies in the United States, including the war in Iraq, has ALWAYS been about the power of wealth.

Blacks became slaves in the United States, through the "Atlantic Slave Trade". Kidnapped, bought and sold; not because of someone's hatred of a skin color, but because of someone else's greed.

The Civil War was fought over cotton. And setting the slaves free was only a war tactic to halt the production of the cash crop. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Can you say, Iraq war?

"FREE THE PEOPLE" and release the oil. It has always been about money. That's the true American history.

4dollars.....please don't take offense to this. If you are a Black American, I applaud you for saying that Civil was fought because of Northern aggression and not slavery. Slavery was just a side issue in the whole scheme of things....As for voting for Obama, I would vote for him instead of Comrade Hillary. Obama is very moderate on some issues and liberal on othere. We need a strong leader to make our country number 1 in the world once more.

The political stradagy of playing into the black vote from the Clinton campange is quite simple.
#1 -Let Obama create this division.He naturally wins S.C. primary.
#2-Clintons remain seeking votes from the "Black " voters in S.C primary.
#3-The back lash from this for Obama is it turns the "white" voters to Clinton.
#4-Clinton wins big in FLA
Part two,the other side to this coin is the female voter of all americans,not racial division but gender.
And lets not forget the male gender,should we vote for McCain because he is a man,and not for Clinton.
What about Muslin,religious division.
For me,the state of South Carolina made up my mind,Obama flipped the race card out there and turned me cold as a door knob to him.I did not like it then and do not like it to day.From everyday life to who i chose to work with is not determined by the color of skin,religious belief or gender.
Now on to the election,Hillary gets the majority female vote,even the african american women.They will feel as if they betrayed her,gender issues there.
Obama shot him self in the foot,as Quoted by Hillary,until the president of the USA believed in the dream that the Great MLK had,he was fighting a very terrible battle.With zero help from government ,(police )the results were tragic.Bless his heart my Jesus,he was a tremendous man.
It is very clear as to what is happening,Obama has opened up a can of worms that he cannot close.

part #2
But most people don’t read the fine print on the polls. But if blacks deliver South Carolina to Obama, everybody will know that they are bloc-voting. That will trigger a massive white backlash against Obama and will drive white voters to Hillary Clinton.

Obama has done everything he possibly could to keep race out of this election. And the Clintons attracted national scorn when they tried to bring it back in by attempting to minimize the role Martin Luther King Jr. played in the civil rights movement. But here they have a way of appearing to seek the black vote, losing it, and getting their white backlash, all without any fingerprints showing. The more President Clinton begs black voters to back his wife, and the more they spurn her, the more the election becomes about race — and Obama ultimately loses.
Because they have such plans for South Carolina, the Clintons were desperate to win in Nevada. They dared not lose two primaries in a row leading up to Florida. But now they can lose South Carolina with impunity, having won in Nevada.
But don’t look for them to walk away from South Carolina. Their love needs to appear to have been unrequited by the black community for their rejection to seem so unfair that it triggers a white backlash. In this kind of ricochet politics, you have to lose openly and publicly in order to win the next round. And since the next round consists of all the important and big states, polarizing the contest into whites versus blacks will work just fine for Hillary.
Of course, this begs the question of how she will be able to attract bl

I would LOVE TO SEE A WOMAN OR A BLACK AS President, But BILLARY is not the woman & Obama is not the Black...Both will only let more illegals flood this country and take more jobs, increase crime & gangs, but most of all will cost every TAX PAYER in this COUNTRY OUR HARD EARNED MONEY...
