You do realize that the reason a majority of “white” people voted against Obama was due to his politics, and not his race. HIs actions of the last three years have proven us correect. He is in over his head, and doesn’t have a clue about how to save our economy. Also, about your 3/5ths of a person reference on your “About” page: Do you realize that was done to protect blacks from the southern politicians taking over the House of Representatives. It wasn’t about them being less than a person,It was about keeping the southerners from taking over the House and instituting racist policies.
Look; the life of a black is less than appeasing; I suppose you conclude that the lack of black Presidents B-4 Obama was due to politics, not race? That indicates, or infers, racist politics. Anyway, re: Obama got voted against & we was classed as 3/5. – This is not desirable. You fall to WHY: “politics, & protection.” Understand: No one cares for your reasoning about “WHY”, except you. We are striving for economic, political & social EQUALITY. While being presented with facts, you are voicing opinions. Like, Obama was “improper, inappropriate, indifferent” towards whites – he treated others better than he treated whites: REALLY. When? Look at the race/job/income disparity; look at the life expectancy & overall mortality rate; sickness & disease rate here & elsewhere. What planet you been on? AND, you assert that being counted as 3/5 protected blacks against racist southern whites, by favoring racist northern whites – excuse me, racist northern benefactors (if you call northern whites “white” they call you a racist). Yet, you say “us”: You were “proven correct.” You KNEW B-4, that he would “fail”: Now You Have Evidence, that he “doesn’t have a clue about how to save our economy.” “OUR” economy, sounds more than a little exclusive.: Is that the same economy I am in? http://www.apa.org/pi/ses/resources/publications/factsheet-erm.aspx The EVIDENCE tells me “Not so.” Your very language tips your hand. Your obfuscation & misdirection will not work; racist policies were & are instituted anyway, You had 219 years of white male rule in Amerikkka, and you , presumably, want more of the same. And in a hurry to get it. An unfortunate presentation indeed, sir . . .
You’re nuts.
Mickey, 3/5ths had nothing to do with “protecting” blacks from southern politicians. They thought there should be more slaves, how the hell is that protection? And when you say/write that it had nothing to do with “them” being less than a person but about southern politicians “instituting racist policies”? Hello!! A country that has a slave trade has by definition “racist policies”! 3/5ths was put in to count slaves but not as whole persons. The northern free states didn’t want them counted as whole persons so the south couldn’t dominate the US Congress. Bottom line Mickey, when someone is your slave, they’re not really a full human being to you are they?
You do realize that, even though Obama in 2008 increased his overall share of white vote vis-a-vis Kerry in 2004, that in Texas at least, in a lot of small towns and counties, he did worse than Kerry. Please don’t try to tell me that was “just politics.”
“He is in over his head, and doesn’t have a clue about how to save our economy.” By now we can see pretty clearly how foolish that statement was. I’ll bet you’re still badmouthing Obama, but you’ve had to think up another excuse, haven’t you?
[…] Take a look at these numbers. […]
[…] (As it turns out, Romney got a higher percentage. It was pretty obvious he would, given the data from the 2008 Obama-McCain election. Obama got 50% of the white vote outside the American South, […]
You are totally clueless. The 3/5th’s policy was specifically instituted to prevent the pro- slave states from gaining a majority in the House of Representatives. That is a fact. . Your ignorance is both astounding and troubling. Try reading about it before you make any more idiotic statements. If you need help, I will gladly point you in the right direction.
And you are ignorant to the facts. Try reading some history books.
What an angry person you are. While America continues to move forward, you choose to live in the past. Good luck with that.
Meanwhile, we have an incompetent socialist as president, who will continue to drag our country down to new lows. But you just continue to concentrate on the color of his skin, and not the content of his character. Doctor King would be very disappointed in you.
I have. You are just so racist you fail to recognize that the northern states were trying to save blacks from a southern majority in the House.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Fifths_Compromise
Even Wikipedia agrees with me, as do 99% of historians. It is the anger and ignorance of people like you that keeps what little racism remains, alive.
Mickey, if that Wikipedia article agrees with your contention that the 3/5 compromise “was done to protect blacks from the southern politicians taking over the House of Representatives” then how come it says it was the southerners who wanted a smaller fraction (one-half by Benjamin Harrison of Virginia) and the northerners who wanted a larger one (three-fourths by several New Englanders)? What that Wikipedia article you linked to actually says, is that it was about taxation at the time that ratio originated: the states would be taxed according to their population. The southerners wanted their slaves to count less so they would have to pay less.
So you might want to tone down the insults; the contrast with the weakness of your arguments leaves you looking pretty foolish.
