A black guy in a suit is a bigger target for violence in a black neighborhood than a Korean shopkeeper in a KKK robe.

Article, in its entirety:

RALEIGH, N.C., May 2 (UPI) -- Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has been avoiding stops in black communities in his quest to become the first black major party nominee for the U.S. presidency.

Isaac Onah, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina, told the Boston Globe that black voters appear to understand Obama's campaign strategy. They also understand why Obama had to repudiate his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Onah said.

"I think black voters are saying to themselves, 'Why isn't Rev. Wright shutting up?'" Onah said.

Obama hopes for a strong victory in North Carolina, similar to the one he got in South Carolina, the report said. In South Carolina, 80 percent of blacks voted for Obama in the Democratic primary, helping him trounce Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Darryl Carson, a 41-year-old industrial clerk, told the Globe he sees Obama "walking a thin line." He believes other black voters in North Carolina will be there for Obama where it matters, in the voting booth, the newspaper said.

One assertion, backed up with no evidence, nor of a citation to a study or analysis that supports it.

Interesting.

I would say he's more like white middle class voters then either of the other two candidates...

he still stops into black neighborhoods when he's craving some chitlins.

burndtdan: he still stops into black neighborhoods when he's craving some chitlins.

I used to live upstairs from a woman who cooked chitlins every weekend...she was a black lady from NC and her husband was a white guy from IL. He used to come up to my apartment to escape the smell of the chitlins cooking.

I used to tell him I'd be happy to whip him up a spam sandwich on white bread with mayonnaise to help ease his trauma...

I doubt he craves chitlins as often as he craves this:



N***a can'nt help it if he's Hawaiian.

Oh, sure.

Anyone can just type "Spam".

What if he's a pimp?

Barack Obama don't care about black people.

I'm not aware of any other way to serve that kind of "meat"...

What, precisely, is a "black community"?

I mean, every time Obama's been around here in NC, he certainly has avoided black neighborhoods... primarily because he's busy speaking in packed auditoriums.

I'm guessing that the UPI's 100 years of "Excellence in Journalism" are not consecutive.

That, unfortunately, sums up so much of the "news" these days.

----NEWSFLASH----

Candidate doesn't visit communities where his support is already assured. Instead he spends his time trying to court voters who are undecided or support his opponent.

Media Interpretation: He's avoiding black neighborhoods!

Yeah. One of the things I really hate about MSM is how they spin shiat like that. The editorial staff is probably filled with Billary supporters.

He ain't keepin it real. he is selling out!

Is this supposed to be satire? From the headline (Report: Obama avoids black neighborhoods, as if it's breaking news from confidential sources or something) to the lack of content, this is pretty pisspoor.

Seriously, what the hell? Did they just throw that in there for the hell of it? Someone must have cut down the wire story too much.

Give it a couple weeks and this story based on nothing will become fact for anyone that can't look or think beyond a headline or sound bite. Pathetic.

Roll 'em up!

I just pictured a Korean person in a Klan robe setting fire to a cross, and it made me snicker.

/God help me.

There are so many ways to cook Spam...I use http://www.recipesource.com/main-dishes/meat/pork/spam/ as my reference. Found this site from my google spam filter. :) Enjoy

Phil Herup: Roll 'em up!

damn it, you beat me

Subby can DIAF... "he" didn't assert anything. Some asshat made the leap of logic that since Obama is not campaigning in places he is already popular in (i.e. black neighborhoods), that Obama is "avoiding" the neighborhoods... inferring that he is scared of Black people, or something.

If you want to use the same logic, then Hillary is "avoiding" upper-middle-class white neighborhoods, because she'd rather sip whiskey with blue collar types. Hmmm, is she afraid of being chased down and robbed by pasty WHITE suburbanites, so she's "avoiding" those areas? YOU DECIDE!

Typical spin garbage.

Doublespeak: Give it a couple weeks and this story based on nothing will become fact for anyone that can't look or think beyond a headline or sound bite. Pathetic.

Yep, and Hagee will actually be McCain's pastor. Love the media.

/thinks this article is BS.

FTFY

What does Clinton's people think about Indiana voters. They're white naggers ^{(^)}

That's because he's a terrorist sleeper cell.

You mean that isn't a scene in Harold & Kumar's movie?

... cause it's not just mainstream media, IMHO. Everyone spins everything and can't report facts.

Of course he is. You don't court your base

If he's avoiding the black neghborhoods, it's simply because he knows he will win there, so he's focusing his efforts where they'll make a difference.

No, the MSM is just choked with morons. Listening to the news events themselves on C-SPAN, and then reading the MSM reporting done on them will clue you in on this very quickly. On average they have a little leftist bias, sure, but it's slight and IMHO overshadowed *greatly* by their much more pronounced and common incompetence.

Basically I mean they're WAY more stupid more than they are biased, so don't worry about the bias. Worry about the stupid.

better link for the white nagger video ^{(^)}

I am just waiting for him to throw his white grandma under the bus, then I will vote for him.

DEMOGRAPHIC SMEAR THREAD!!!

US Census:
White persons, percent, 2006 80.1%
Black persons, percent, 2006 12.8%
American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 2006 1.0%
Asian persons, percent, 2006 4.4%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, percent, 2006 0.2%

How often is Obama on the res? And what of left-handed American?

this ... so this person said Obama isn't going to these neighborhoods ... so what? means nothing to me ... how about a list of his stops the last month or so?

The Moonie wire service sliming Obama? Now that's unexpected.

Original story that URI pulled this from. (beware it's Boston.com so they might ask for registration).

We don't have to settle for the cliff notes...

Quick question. Why is every mixed race person considered black?


Tiger Woods for example. He's 1/4 black, 1/2 Thai, 1/4 white. He isn't Asian though. He's black and his name is Tiger Woods. Cobra Jade is an Asian Trannie on 5th street but Tiger Woods is a black dude?

Just curious.

Why did subby capitalize "Black"? Does that make it some sort of proper noun?

Oops... Meant UPI. Sorry University of Rhode Island...

Hang On Voltaire: Of course he is. You don't court your base

Some call them the have-rhythms.

He calls them his base.

Hairstyle is the determining factor, not ancestory. Once you get this down, you will never have to wonder again.

But...that's racist!

They need to drink this.

it's funny that guy on the right is thinking...."uh, probably shouldn't be saying that on camera there chief"
