Thanks Mr.Shaw.Sep 5th, 2008 - 05:05:20

'Shaw insisted that he has 'no mixed feelings' in supporting McCain. 'I'm an American,' he said, rejecting race as a political motivation. '

Thank you Mr. Shaw. People like you are why I too am honored to be an American.

Proud to be an American...? Shaw forgets civil rights is only 40 something odd years removed. Shaw forgets, people died for the right to be recogonized as a person. Shaw forgets the Republicans made the war on drugs a war against Blacks while whites were raking in millions of dollar s in the ghettos. Shaw forgets the republicans who sit and sat in congress, professing their hate for Blacks...Shaw forgets the millions of Black men who sit incarcerated, targeted because of their skin. When I travel to thoer countries, I am always asked: How can you be proud to be American when the US oppresses your people so....? Shaw needs to look around him at the convention, look in the eyes of those he shakes jhands with and become a fly on the wall to hear what they really think of him and his 'KIND'....

Jesse James, you are just nuts. The pathetic thing is you believe all that sh*t. Stop making excuses, man up and no one will ever be able to hold you back, white or black.

Jesse sir you need to grow up. You completely misunderstood Martin Luther King's dreams. You have altered it to fit your hatred and agenda, one Mr. King would not be pleased with. You so completely leave out the fact that it was under a Republican president that slavery ended, that a majority of those southern Democrats were the ones giving blacks all the problems they have encountered over the years, that there were more Republicans who supported the civil right act than Democrats, that the so-called Great Society was a failure and was an idea brought about by Democrats, how the Democratic party promises, promises and promises for decade after decade and they have failed you time and time again only to use blacks as an arguing point against Republicans but never offering anything of substance. Its time for you Mr. Jesse to get potty trained. Finally there are blacks all over the country who are starting to wake up to the fact that the Democrats are nothing but a bunch of socialists who will use anything or anybody to advance their socialist agenda of taking over peoples lives and frankly I am damned proud of those who have woken up. Get off the mothership is in orbit gig.

The marches are over. Most of us do not remember them, or were very young. The generations now populating America were taught tolerance.

Having said that, those living amongst the cultur-of-grievence african-americans have brand new, and valid, objections to their behavior.

If the war on drugs was a war on blacks, blacks need to get out of the drug business. One only has to visit a theatre anywhere there is a black population to make us run out and buy a plasma TV, or drive to another theatre.

We have watched the black-on-black crime stats, reminding us of the Old Richard Prior gaff ' I went to the Arizona State Penetentury and it had 80% blacks, interesting because I never saw any black people on the streets. After going there...I'm sure glad we HAVE penetenturies.!'

In a word, blacks are wasting their opportunites. If Obama represents anything it is success, even Equal Opportunity success and that is laudible. The black communities response: He doesn't act black enough.

Physician, heal thyself.

I agree with Mr. Shaw. While, I laud Mr. Obama's success, I don't feel he is the right man to lead this country. Neither do I believe the values of his running mate strengthens his credibility. And yes, I am a registered republican.

I agree with Mr. Summers Republicans need to stand on principal and be the party of ideas, I'm impressed to see an Afro-American Southern taking such strong conservative views that don't trash the other canidate

Let's get back to politics of ideas
