Perhaps it was just that his speech writer was ill and they used the speech from the previous fund raiser????

what he is saying is very true.

Wasn't Bill Cosby blasted by the NAACP, Jackson and Sharpton for making the same comments a few years ago. I know Jackson blasted Obama but thats because he would be out of a job if more responsibility was taken. Jackson wouldn't be able to sit there and try to find racism in every little thing. This might be the first thing I would agree with Obama on but definately can't vote for a socialist.

Just a quick story. My friend Steve is a Puyallup Indian in Washington State and when we went to apply for Scholarship info we were told to go to the naacp office in Seattle.Wierd but oh well we went as they were over seeing a Scholarship program with the University of Washington at the time.
When we went in the receptionist asked steve,who looks like a charachter from a wild west film Indian wise ,for his tribal card.When he said he didnt have it with him she asked him how was she able to tell he was a genuine Indian! So he asked to see her tribal card to authenticate her origins as a black woman ....needless to say she freaked out quite badly and were escorted immediately from the office.

Dont know why that story is relevant but this thread reminded me of it.

This story is relevant because it illustrates how whimsical and ridiculous our current social structure is with the issue of race. It sounds like this woman was a little indignant about some being a bigger victim than her.

I still say that one day, 100,000 years from, we will all be of mixed origin, and all have common ancestry, making all this race bullshit, null and void; But wait, how different is that from today?
