DC Tom Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Probably true. Though it's balanced out living and working where I do. I see both sides of the crazy coin -- which pushes me further and further away from the notion of political teams. I understand. It's tough to willingly associate yourself, even superficially, with the likes of gatorman, birddog, or lybob. Once, not too long ago, I probably would have voted for Bernie Sanders. Now I'd vote for Ted Cruz, just to spite them.

Let's make it a landslide and hand all the pending consequences of the last seven years right back to their party.

I am predisposed against the establishment of royal families, and thus I will never, ever, vote for a Bush or a Clinton. Six terms of those families is enough.

B-Man Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Six terms? H.W.................(2)....................Bubba..............(2)..........................W....................(2)..................... = 6 That's what I was criticized for about a year ago, when I declared that I didn't care how good (or bad) a candidate Jeb was I was NOT going to vote for another person in the immediate family ......................enough. and .Hillary....................well she simply does not deserve anyone's vote.
KD in CA Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 How could not remembering anyone's name be racist? Sh-- get dumber every day.

HW only served one term.
B-Man Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) HW only served one term. Well..................it seemed longer ADDED: by the way, pointing out my mistake was racist....... Edited January 7, 2016 by B-Man
meazza Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Funny that this is the impression bd1960 and gator have of most of us.
DC Tom Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Six terms? Sorry, five. Three Bush, two Clinton. Don't know what I was thinking.
Azalin Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 by the way, pointing out my mistake was racist....... I'm very, very white - I could compliment you on your intellect and it would still be racist.
GG Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Sorry, five. Three Bush, two Clinton. Don't know what I was thinking. You were thinking ahead?
KD in CA Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Sorry, five. Three Bush, two Clinton. Don't know what I was thinking. Buy 5, get one free!
/dev/null Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Back to the OP, not Racist® but very poor leadership. I have had black coworkers mistake poor manners by white coworkers or personal slights as Racism© Imagine if you will, a work environment consisting of nothing but Stadium Wallers. A new black employee is introduced to the crew. We even open the door to gatorman's "office" and let him take off his padded helmet and oven mits. The new employee is introduced to Tom. Tom is, well, Tom is Tom. The new employee may see Tom's manners as RacistTMbut in reality, it's just Tom being Tom. Which is Tom being a Dick. And things could get hairy You should have led with that... It's 2016, only white people can be racist, remember? My favorite Racists® are Asians. They are Racist© against other Asians
IDBillzFan Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Back to the OP, not Racist® but very poor leadership. Unfortunately, this is a bed made by liberals under the Barack Obama administration. Shortly after the cable news programs, and SoProgs on social media, started explaining that the only reason people disagree with Obama is because of his skin color, the concept of white privilege was on its tail. Next came "microagressions," and before you knew it, ivy league trust-fund college students were actually whining that their predominantly liberal campus was no longer a safe place. So while I'm not sure the guy is or isn't a racist, it doesn't matter. We're getting to the point where you're just better off keeping your yap shut and avoiding any possibility that the person you're talking to is just waiting to call you a racist. Look on the bright side...once Hillary is elected, we won't be called racists anymore. We'll be called misogynists. Or Bill, for short.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Tyesha and Shanequa do get offended quicker than most folks. Is that Raysis ? I've found some black women that always have to be upset about something. It's sad. Waiter always has it out for them. 10 other people at the table have no issues.
DC Tom Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Unfortunately, this is a bed made by liberals under the Barack Obama administration. Shortly after the cable news programs, and SoProgs on social media, started explaining that the only reason people disagree with Obama is because of his skin color Not just that, but if you were to agree or praise him in a way someone considered inappropriate ("he's well-spoken") you were being racist. It is damn near impossible to refer to Obama in any way without someone calling you a racist. So while I'm not sure the guy is or isn't a racist, it doesn't matter. We're getting to the point where you're just better off keeping your yap shut and avoiding any possibility that the person you're talking to is just waiting to call you a racist. Or just start being overtly racist. If there's no question you're racist, then there's no room for discussion either. Look on the bright side...once Hillary is elected, we won't be called racists anymore. We'll be called misogynists. Or Bill, for short. Given that Bill Clinton was our "first black president," I'm pretty sure if Hillary's elected people will find some way to call us racists too...
Rob's House Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 When I was in middle school I had a teacher who called on the black kid and genuinely thought his name was Lamont. Dude's name was Mike.
DC Tom Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 When I was in middle school I had a teacher who called on the black kid and genuinely thought his name was Lamont. Dude's name was Mike. Isn't "Lamont" ebonics for "Mike?"
Rob's House Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Isn't "Lamont" ebonics for "Mike?" I thought it was French.
