“I don't see how he was wrong on the illegal immigrant issue and protecting our borders. The people that hire illegals are not American and are part of trhe problem. As a black man I don't buy the logic thaat says that anyone crossing our boarder illegally have a right to do so if they are seeking work. If we legalize drugs like we did alcohol wee burst the bubble for drug lords from afgahnestan to Mexico. No one is ok with Hatians seeking ino this country , why should it be ok for spanish speaking people to illgeally inter and bring crime and gang activity, theyb say that white folks guilt hurt them in dealing with black people, I beg to differ, it hurts you with mexicans, salvadorans and gutamalians”

“Yes. You and I know where the real racism is, and it's coming from all sides and reflected in "official" unemployment for Black citizens--15.7%, above Hispanics (13.1%) and whites (9.5% w/professionals and managerial types at less than 4.5%). There are real class issues involved here as well, which no one acknowledges.”

b) It was not a problem of any significance when we had a strong economy, but now due to the economic disaster created by corporatist and the right, it's effect is felt

c) We give free passes to Europeans, bet you there are a few in your Co with work visas.

“It would be cheaper if we ended this "war on drugs' that is really a war on people, all drugs should be legal, even scheduled drugs for pain or sleep, there should not be perscriptions, for pain killers or other medicimal drugs.

“This is true but the pretense for this money making by the war profiteers is to keep Osama and his merry band from taking up residence again in Afghanistan. The Taliban distributes poppies not cocaine. These poppies should be bought by US, thus depriving the Taliban of money, and we should used these poppies for medical uses. And we should leave Afghanistan and see what can be done, without our soldiers, in Pakistan.”

Remember Privacy?

“Yes I remember privacy, if I was Chris Rock I would say the lack of it today, falls heavily in the laps of white folks, you guys are so ok, with incremntalism. It starts with when like you I was in the 60's and white folks were allowing there kids to drive at younger and younger ages, white children drive the incrementalism and then 30-40 years later or sooner the white boomer parents realize that they went to far and allowed too much to their kids, then they need to raise the driving age etc etc yadda yadda yadda, it happens with ATM machines and fee's, white folks are, oh how great and neat and then bam!! the banks eat us up with ever increasing and changing fee's. White skin privelage and prerogatives equals lack of privacy, becuse in the Chris rock white folks voice" we don't have anything to hide"...you allow stuff when you know historically that people with white skin are notoriously unscrupulous. They have been since the Spanish inqusition. Your kids get slapped on the wrist when they hack and send virus' out that corrupt and invade business and individual personal information on computer hard drives.And we can put the Gennie/ white skin privelageback int he bottle, or can we, maybe after the next big astoroid, the slat will be wiped clean again.”

“What I think is stupid is that many young people get their opinions and news from the daily show, that they can't digest information unless it is couched in a joke, that they are capitives of gallows humor and humor in the face of atrocities meted out by the dominent culture. This is why things can continue so absurdely unfair, because while folks can find a way to laugh about it, when we weep and hurt like the Jews and enslaved africans, then we will understand the graveness of issues and change witout trying to find a laugh in it..”

It's the Unemployment, Stupid

“I can't believe a man that seemed to be so smart could not realized that he needed heavy lifting around jobs, getting stimulus money out of the door quickly and creating goverenment jobs programs. Obam has people giving him information from all perspectives and he consistenly goes off in the wrong direct. Hillery was right about this guy, all suit and no cattle, everyone gets that he had a lot to deal with, but he is mucking it up in a grand style. If Jackie Robinson had been as bad in baseball as Obam is as president, it would have taken years longer, if at all when baseball opened up to black players. He claimed that he could bring people together and the opposite is happening, he can't even energize his base.”

“He is indeed in a guilded cage, and he has promised a lot, and comes forth witout any plans in do what he promises, he wants to be liked. He wants to survive and I don't fault him for that. He said that if he failed, he will be a one term Predent, he will be a one term President and it will be harder for a person of color to get therre again. He had to be a Jackie Robinson or a Michael Jackson/ Jordon. I believe like Hillery said, the phone is ringing at 3am and he fails to answer I think he would be happy to do four years, write more books and do speeches. Bush did not put enough boots on the ground when is General asked for more going into Iraq, they sent troops in with no body armour and no vehicle uparmour. rumsfield fought the war we had. They protected the oil ministry but tnot the museums. The "surge" would not have been needed if he went in with enough troops at the beginnning. Obama will not come close to being as bad as Bush was, the question is will he make much of a difference or be that much better.”

“So we have evolved for the better- all kinds of things used to happen regularly- that does not mean they still ought to be ok. It used to be legal in many places to kill your wife for a variety of imagined "crimes." It used to be legal to brutalize your child - after all, they were your property. It used to be legal for governmental rulers to take your wife and rape her, take your children from you with impunity, imprison you on a whim without evidence, torture anyone. I think most of us consider it a great advance for humanity that we have made laws to protect people from these abuses.”
