[quote=briansd1]Flu, it’s not about the race card. It’s about reality.

Maybe my trailer-trash, conservative mind is playing tricks on me, but didn’t you say quote:

I definitely feel that there is a racist element in the right, especially in the lower social economic strata of right wing Whites — people who would benefit greatly from Obama policies but who are vociferous opponents of Obama.

…How is this NOT pulling the R card?
BTW: unless you are a minority I think, well, odd, to be pulling the R card “on behalf of another minority”…What kind of precedence are you setting for minorities who don’t get their way or don’t get what they want? Are you encouraging that it’s ok for a minority to throw the R card out as needed? How would you like it, if the R card is played on you? Let’s say you’re sitting at a table, and some minority tells you to get out of his seat. And when you don’t, he/she makes a big scene accusing you of being a “racist” in public? Don’t non-minorities have enough to worry about in being politically correct all the time?…Anyway, I digress….

Do you think that low-income Whites who have no health care are economically rational when they support the Tea Party?

Well, I would say the ones that actually have take time off to attend regular daily functions during weekdays are probably unemployed, regardless of political affiliations. I’m sure there are plenty of “progressives” who are unemployed who have nothing better to do that attend corresponding time wasters. People like me don’t like to mob scenes, but are exactly the ones anti-taxing-obama. And frankly, the funniest thing happened last weekend. My neighbors 2 doors down who was an ultra-democrat recently hung a sign on his windshield. Said something like
“We trusted you Obama for change. You blew it. Thanks for nothing”. I’ll take a pix next time I walkby…
I loled….

BTW, Obama has done more for Asian Americans than any other president.
He nominated the first Asian American, Goodwin Liu (of Taiwanese descent), to the Court of Appeals. Liu is young and may one day end up on the Supreme Court.
That’s nice, but irrelevant…I really don’t give a crap how many asians are doing what, and don’t need a non-asian to tell me how many asians/non-asians “are doing well” or keep score. Folks do well on their own merit..period. It’s time this country and our society stop keeping score on how “minorities” need help, or how “wonderful” minorities are doing at making “progress”.
This is a progressive society isn’t it?
