Too bad its true. As a Black man you have to be twice as good and work twice as hard for the same recognition sometimes.

why the word sometimes?

seems to me that 'sometimes' made this comment universally applicable.

The President of The United States is a Black man.

Sorry, the "victim" act is no longer valid. Special recognition just for being Black, is no longer acceptable.

I said 'sometimes' beacuse it is not always true. Most of the times it is depending on who you are dealing with.

you're out in left field. The guy was just freaking elected with the least amount of credentials of any president in our history. He has been a community organizer, a state pol and a 2 year absentee senator. Beyond that, he has no qualifications for the office. If he were a white man, Hillary Clinton would have blown him to kingdom come in the primary.

and sometimes, in the cases of Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice, it doesn't matter how hard you've worked to become who you are, if you don't spout a particular political orthodoxy, you are considered a failure and called rude names like "Uncle Tom".

And there are just as many who find their way into positions when there were other more qualified individuals. It goes both ways.

A valid argument. In fact, everyone on both sides should be cheering that a black man was elected President. For Dems it's a huge social moment for Civil Rights and blacks in history. For Reps they can now lay claim that affirmative action, entitlements, and special preference is no longer needed.

I can't understand why more Reps weren't behind him just for this reason.

I honestly believe that the majority of both sides are cheering that fact.

He will have to be "better" because he promised to lower taxes for the "employees" while raising taxes for the "employers". He promised that that would improve the economy. Unless he has a miracle up his sleave that ain't going to work.

Every President in history has promised a stronger economy....it's just not something they have enough control over.

EDIT: Not that they should -- it's just always a false promise.

Supporting Obama just because he is Black, is idiotic.

I wouldn't have supported my brother, if his campaign platform matched Obama's.

i'd say so far the media has been terrified of saying anything negative about obama. the average black man in the workplace might have to be better, but obama is not being held to that standard by any stretch of the imagination. if anything he is getting a lot of credit for so far doing nothing.

to your point, he has been damn near sainted for picking a cabinet, closing Gitmo and taking early steps in his nutjob enviro agenda.

That's not much thinner a resume than running the Texas Rangers into the ground and being an accomplishment free governor of Texas.

AT least Bush had executive level experience. Obama hasnothing to his credit other than the senate seat and the IL legislature both of which were iffy at best as to his accomplishments.

If by ran them into the ground, you mean that they continued to hover in the low .500s during his tenure (two losing seasons, yet, far from out of the norm for the Rangers) while raising annual attendance by 900,000 fans, then I completely agree.

Texas Ranger's stock also soared astronomically in the ten years that Bush owned controlling shares....

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well."

This statement still does not justify nor foes it accurately explain your first statement which referred to GWB running the organization into the ground.
