I don't agree with our President on much politically, but certainly give him credit on his take of K. West and agree.

[quote=DynamiteRave;589311]I dunno. I'm only 22, I've grown up around white people my entire life so it's hard for me to see things from a race point.

And at the same time those feelings tend to rub off on me and I don't wanna end up being small minded like that. So it's a really hard thing for me personally to juggle.

But I think you could have a valid point. You could be totally right and I've just got my shades on and I don't see it.

Personally I wish Kanye would just keep his mouth shut and put out records. You don't see Jay-Z doing that shit, and he's sleeping with Beyonce. So.. Yeah. I understand where you're coming from.[/quote]

Interesting you should say that. I have along time friend from HS who grew up....predominately with white kids (as it was a mostly white area in MD) as well. He has often told me similar situations. He has found accetance problems from both colors......from time to time

It got a lot easier in college. The school I go to is private.. No more than like 3,000 students, close knit and such so I don't hear anything there.

Usually it's out in the working world (not at my current job, but at past ones) where people gave me the most flack.

J. Carter is borderline crazy . Maybe he does not understand that the " people " who he is claiming are " racist - white " , are the same people who voted for President Obama . As far as Pep. Wilson , I would guess his outburst came from passion on the subject matter < HC Reform > , doubt he sat there and thought , oh the President isn't white , i will yell liar ? Now , Wilson should not have yelled , or used liar on the floor , IMO . I would like to know what Carter thinks of the Dems. Booing Pres. Bush on the senate floor in 2005 ? Carter has praised , Chaves , Castro and Arafaht at various times .

I give him props for that!

Re: F...Kanye West
 

I wonder how Jimmy Carter rationalizes his own unpopularity as white politician? Surely his disastrous Presidency serves as an historical riposte to the ridiculous claims he is now making regarding Obama.

Of course Team Obama didn't hesitate to brand Bill Clinton... BILL CLINTON... a racist, so it should shock no one when they try to hang the label on mere mortals. It's all fun and games.

Nothing feels sincere from him, because it's not the first time he's done this. (still like his music though). Leno talks to him like he's 5 when he's asking him about whether his mom would have been disappointed in him.[/quote]

The truth is he has the maturity of a 5 year old. He constantly brags about himself, wants attention, takes things personally, and gets emotional.

He isnt mature, so what can you do. It is a shame he has that big of a platform. there are a ton of other people that can do much more good in a position like that.
