Mitt Romney may win just by being the only candidate who hasn't sabotaged his own campaign. Then again he still has a few months left.

he's sabotaged his own campaign by being the republican candidate that conservatives don't want to vote for they've all formed little cliques that spread rumors about each other. the hardcore conservative santorum supporters, libertarian ron paul supporters, moderate mitt romney supporters, and the rest

We take all the us GOV candidates, put them in a talk show similar to swedens ''Parlamentet''. We'll make millions I tell you! MILLIONS!

[QUOTE=Gmod3ever;34070223]I've always thought this, too. I've always found the term "African-American" to be a racist term, because it implicitly assumes that all black people were born in Africa and immigrated to the United States and earned citizenship. I've never understood the reasoning as to why we just don't use "dark-skinned" and "light-skinned" to describe individuals, seeing as they're a lot more accurate than "white" (only very pale people are actually "white") and "black" (only [B]very[/B] dark-skinned people are actually "black"), and the terms are entirely objective.[/QUOTE] Agree, it's annoying when describing someone as "white" then going "but he's really tan and doesn't look it at all and has dark hair"

[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;34074065]We already have comedy central and fox to laugh about, we really need more?[/QUOTE] Plus Congress.

[QUOTE=archangel125;34069580]Conservatism may be a legitimate political ideology, but a lot of very, very prominent Republicans, people actually running for presidency of your land, use conservatism and religion as a veil in attempts to limit or take away the civil rights and social security protecting minorities they consider inferior, whether identifiable by race or by sexual orientation. So does that make the Republican ideology one of bigotry by its very nature? Why is it so powerful in the USA? I may be wrong, but I believe these movements gained power in the aftermath of 9/11, more than ten years ago now, and are still going strong.[/QUOTE] I myself wouldn't say it's the specific targeting of just minorities, but simply the lower and middle classes in general. Economic elitism has been a constant problem in the Republican Party since the Reagan Administration, when Reagan and the United States Congress completely eliminated anything preventing corporations from doing fuck-all to gain money behind the mostly unfounded hope that the wealth would circulate back to the lower and middle classes. With this deregulation, the rich basically had all the means to get whatever amount of wealth they want for themselves. There are then two types of conservatives in this wealthy, elitist demographic, whose nicknames I have borrowed from Thom Hartmann; A.) Predator Conservatives - Those who have no prejudice against the poor, but rather just have no moral conflict with stomping in the faces of the lower and middle class so long as they get money. Just generally terrible and terribly greedy people. They prefer to be around their wealthy friends; and may share views that they are superior and the poor are inferior, but their main concern is money. B.) True-believer Conservatives - These people have at least one fundamental belief; that they are superior to the lower and middle-classes, or that the lower and middle-classes are inferior. One of the two. These people might also believe in a rule of the wealthy elite, the oppression of "inferior" peoples, and/or the glorification of themselves. The racial and sexual orientation-based discrimination/hatred is based around the demographics they represent; the people of the Deep South where the general consensus is that some people are inferior and Christianity is the major religion of these areas. Conservatism, at it's core, is preserving the status-quo. In the United States, the status-quo has long been that homosexuals were to be generally disliked if not entirely hated (thanks to the Church). There has also been a long-time background of racist ideology, especially in the deep south where plantations prevailed via the use of slaves (and, consequentially, where Republican conservatism is strongest).

afroamerican is an incorrect term. but however, we call asian people "asian" and we dont call them "yellow people", do we?

So what if you use the word black.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;34077216]So what if you use the word black.[/QUOTE] can we just call them colored people? even if its wrong

[QUOTE=falcont2t;34077270]can we just call them colored people? even if its wrong[/QUOTE] Hey why don't we just call people what they want to be called instead of putting it to a committee

[QUOTE=falcont2t;34077270]can we just call them colored people? even if its wrong[/QUOTE] Some quote i red somewhere: [QUOTE]When i have a sunburn, i'm black, When i'm sick, i'm black, When i'm angry, i'm black, When i'm cold, i'm black, And you white people call us colored.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;34077563]Some quote i red somewhere:[/QUOTE] uh, you're missing half the quote [quote]When i have a sunburn, i'm black, When i'm sick, i'm black, When i'm angry, i'm black, When i'm dead, i'm black, When you're sick, you're green when you're angry, you're red When you're dead, you're gray And you call us coloured[/quote]

[QUOTE=falcont2t;34077270]can we just call them colored people? even if its wrong[/QUOTE] it's not like black people are addressed as such when normally socializing.

[QUOTE=wewt!;34078148]uh, you're missing half the quote[/QUOTE] True, bit it did get the point across dit it not?

[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;34079468]True, bit it did get the point across dit it not?[/QUOTE] IMO the complete quote makes a lot more sense.

Ah, I always wondered what* the Dark Ages looked like in person. Thought he'd be taller.

[QUOTE=JaegerMonster;34070114]To be honest, the term "african american" is far more assuming and ignorant than just "black".[/QUOTE] Go say to a gangster. "Sup you black" and see what happens

I think "African American" is dumb. There are white africans too.

so how the fuck we call them? how the fuck they want to be called? colored people? black people? african american? sometimes i think we should all be called just people, but when in terms of identify someone we should called them brown people.

thank the almighty homosexual hating GOD that I don't live in that country, where disgusting idiots like him may run the country I live in

[QUOTE=supercopter;34083128]Go say to a gangster. "Sup you black" and see what happens[/QUOTE] I don't think it'd make a difference if you walked up and said "sup you african american"
