(Some Guy) Obvious "Millions of white youths listen to rap music, and no small number of them parade around small white-picket-fence towns dressed like gangbangers. This partially explains Obama's popularity among young voters."   (michnews.com) divider line 100

As a guy with a White teenage brother from the suburbs who thinks he's a gangsta rapper, I'm getting a real kick out of these replies...

 
SubBass49 2008-02-03 03:09:32 PM  
That said, Obama doesn't really appeal to gangstas anyway...and no...I didn't RTFA.

Wow. The ignorance is dumbfounding. Makes Obama sound like a rapper or a character from the wire. Apparently all black people are alike. Who knew?

Yeah, because I seriously saw Obama bust a cap in someone's ass for bein' a straight-up biatch-ass nubian and tryin' to jack his bling.

Yes, that would be the Ku Klux Klan.

Is Selwyn arguing that there is NO Klan activity in Upstate New York?

In 1999 Klansman from Upstate NY tried to get the right to wear masks in their public demonstrations declared a constitutional freedom. They lost, btw.

Not all that glitters is bling.

/What kind of a name is Selwyn anyway? Man, the way these white folks pick their kids names. I'll never understand it.

Might as well plug our fellow farker KeithGabryelski's fund raiser for Obama so this thread isn't COMPLETELY worthless...

He's matching your campaign donations...might as well check it out.

I have my own fundraising page for Obama, but cant afford matching donations...that's why I'm plugging Keith's page.

 
judan 2008-02-03 03:32:29 PM  
Wow, that was appallingly dumb.

Sure, there are bigots in every group, but my experience with fellow whites tells me they're the exception, not the rule.

Ok, so whites as a rule aren't racist. All right, we've got irony right out of the gate!

Many white children are raised with the idea that the worst thing one can be is a bigot; in fact, they are taught that even contemplating the existence of racial differences is a deadly sin (even when those differences might be real).

Although, there are differences between people based on race. And we've moved directly on to hypocrisy.

This is the standard liberal view of the world. When former Democrat mayor of Atlanta Bill Campbell ... called conservative legal groups "a homogenized version of the Klan" and said, "They may have traded in their sheets for suits, but it's the same old racism," don't think it was just political rhetoric. In some measure, this is what most liberals believe.

But subtle racism doesn't exist. Apply palm directly to face.

Oddly enough, the only other two people I'm aware of named Selwyn are of African descent, one of them a well-known local lawyer.

 
d'art 2008-02-03 03:49:27 PM  
How does a Columbia and Harvard educated Constitutional Law lecturer, civil rights attorney, and member of the US Senate, who was born in Hawai'i and raised in Hawai'i and Indonesia and has never lived in the ghetto in his life, get compared to gang-banging thugs without the one who's doing the comparing being racist?

I'd expect this type of thing from Ann Coulter (oh, wait, she's already done the whole 'you're the real racists because the only reason anybody votes for him is because he's black' thing).

The very notion that it's somehow wrong that "Many white children are raised with the idea that the worst thing one can be is a bigot" is baffling to me. She also exaggerates the existence of white guilt. If that were a real problem in this country then reparations talks wouldn't be permanently tabled, as they are now.

General Zang 2008-02-03 04:11:37 PM  
Let me see if I understand the headline...

..supposedly, Obama is a rap star who dresses like a gangbanger, and this apeals to young white suburban males who like to dress like gangbangers...

...and these young white suburban males now account for 50+ % of the electorate?

Um... uh...

...what universe does the submitter inhabit?

I guess in submitter's universe, this headline wouldn't be some completely ignorant, race-based and race-baiting bullshiat.

Congrats on the greenlight though.

;)
