"Race Debate: White Beauty Queen at Black School Pens Plea to Obama"
Nikole Churchill, won "Homecoming Queen" at the predominantly black university, Hampton University in Virginia, which is located in the Southern part of the United States. Her win divided the campus, as she is white.
She wrote to U.S. President, Barack Obama, regarding the situation, asking he visit the school to speak about diversity. She has since apologized for writing to President Obama.
I do not necessarily think it is a bad thing that she wrote to President Obama. It appears enough black people voted for her that she won "Homecoming Queen" - but clearly, some did not and are unhappy with her win, deeming as a white person, she does not accurately represent the predominantly black student body.
What if some started stating, America is predominantly white, which it is and as such, Obama as a black man, who won the election, does not accurately represent the nation (stop grinning Limbaugh).
It would not be fair to make such assumptions, based on President Obama's color and it is not fair to do so to Nikole Churchill either.
I don't know what some people are complaining about. Just wait until your student loans become due. Then you'll really have something to whine about.
Does Rush Limbaugh know there's a black lady on the website! (LOL)
The Republican Party relaunched its website today (www.gop.com). The conservative party is also known as the GOP (pronounced "GOP" as in the word "Lop" - just kidding, don't say that or you'll look stupid. GOP is an acronym for the words the "Grand Old Party").
Their website launch went about as smoothly as that of the unveiling of Michael Jackson's new single, "This Is It." But at least we know the GOP actually owns the item it launched (disdainfully looks at Sony).
However, something went wrong, rendering software bugs and glitches, that caused the page to display incorrectly. Let's hope it wasn't sabotaged by a hacker, as it is not the norm for such an expensive site, worked on by several techs, to perform in that manner.
New Republican Party 2.0 website unveiled
WASHINGTON — The Republican Party launched a redesigned website Tuesday with a heavy emphasis on the social media tools that Democrat Barack Obama used so effectively to win the last presidential election.
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said GOP.com, which stands for "Grand Old Party," the party's nickname, will "help Republicans compete in any race, in any state, at any time."
Obama relied heavily on the Internet during his presidential campaign for organizing, fundraising and communicating and has created MySpace, Facebook and Flickr pages and a Twitter feed since entering the White House.
The revamped GOP.com prominently features links on its home page to the Republican National Committee page on Facebook, its Twitter feed, its YouTube channel and its Flickr photo-sharing site.
"It takes advantage of various online tools to connect Republicans and concerned Americans across the country to each other and party leaders, creating a larger, more informed, more organized, and more energized Republican community," Steele said.
GOP.com also features a number of blogs including a main blog titled "Sound Reasoning."
A section on "Republican Heroes" provides brief biographies of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play Major League baseball, former presidents Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower and Abraham Lincoln and others...
Former U.S. President, Bill Clinton and current President, Barack Obama
Former President, Bill "Bubba" Clinton, is insisting there is a "vast, right wing conspiracy" out to get newly elected, Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, much like the one his wife, Hillary Clinton, insisted was plotting to destroy him, while he was the Head of State.
I don't doubt members of the right are out to get Obama and want to see him brought down (looks at Rush "I Want Obama To Fail" Limbaugh) but there have also been vast, left wing conspiracies as well, designed to destroy people opposed to their views.
Barack Obama to Michelle Obama: Oh no she didn't! Is Hillary wearing the same dress you're wearing!
Therefore, it is a two way street. Such conspiracies also exist in Corporate America. The end result of that madness was the 2008 financial crisis.
Enough with the conspiracies, already. They benefit no one in the end, as people do reap what they sow in life. God promises it. What you'll end up with is an injured party and a guilty party God punishes for being a victimizer.
Bill Clinton Speaks Of vast, Right-Wing Conspiracy
September 27, 2009 - Bill Clinton says a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Barack Obama.
The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago. Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.
Bill Clinton was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: "You bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was."
Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and "their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail."
The head of the Republican Party, Michael Steele, has labeled U.S. President Barack Obama, a “racist” for allegedly asking legally blind, New York Governor, David Paterson, not to seek reelection.
Mr. Steele, with all due respect, have you been listening to the Rush Limbaugh show (grin). I do not believe Obama to be a racist for allegedly asking Patterson not to seek a second term. I do believe it has to do with the concern he will lose and cost the Democrats the definitive voice in New York.
President Obama to First Lady Michelle: this is for making me sleep on the couch last night.
However, even if he loses, I do not agree with the White House asking him not to seek another term, as he is the first black man in the post and should be allowed to prove himself, even if his poll numbers are dismal. This goes for any minority as the first representative of their race.
Additionally, a lawful incumbent should be given a chance to prove and or redeem himself or herself.
GOP chief hints racism involved in Obama, Paterson controversy
09.21.09 - It provided for some interesting TV watching yesterday...Appearing on Face the Nation on Sunday, Steele was asked for his thoughts on the report that the president has encouraged embattled New York Governor David Paterson to step aside from next year’s primary.
“I found it to be stunning that the White House would send word to one of only two black governors in the country not to run for re-election,” Steele replied.
“I think Governor Paterson’s numbers are about the same as [New Jersey] Governor Jon Corzine’s numbers yet … I don’t know if there’s been a request made of Governor Corzine to step down in New Jersey.”
Baffled, Schiefer blurted, “You don’t think he’s asked him not to run because he’s black?”
“I don’t think that, but look, you have so few [black governors],” Steele said. “Look, if you’re saying it’s the numbers then why isn’t there a call for those other Democrat governors who have low numbers as well.”
“It’s just a curiosity for me,” Steele said.
Many find it curious that Obama got involved in this at all. Paterson’ is struggling politically as it is. More than 70 percent of New Yorkers don’t want him to run again. Even non-white voters don’t support him...
In a sensationally bad interview, radio host Rush Limbaugh called for the return of segregation, separating blacks from whites, due to an incident involving a Caucasian young man, who was attacked by a group of black teens on a school bus. I denounce the beating as racist and ugly and the kids involved should be legally punished.
Back to Limbaugh. Rush really showed his true colors with this one. There have been racially motivated assaults regarding whites ganging up on blacks and blacks ganging up on whites. Both races are guilty of that.
However, there are many blacks and whites, who are not racist and do not wish to return to the primitive, hateful ways of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow.
Mr. Limbaugh has discredited himself with these regressive, racist statements and amazingly spooled the President into his diatribe, referring to America as Obama's nation.
Obama does not own America and neither do you, Rush. God made and owns this country and every other nation in the world. He did not create it for people to abuse and harass others or lay claims to superiority over one's fellow man.
While, I don't agree with President Obama's views on abortion and stem cells, I'm tired of people negatively bringing up his race. The President is black, get over it. It is really sad that nine months into his presidency, this is still an issue for some people.
One day I hope there will be a Hispanic president as well. While we're at it, an Indian president as well (Hey, if you want to get technical, Rush, they were here first).
Some people care too much about race and not the real issues and it is proving to be a terrible distraction. I can understand one faulting Obama on abortions issues, on the grounds it goes against religion, but do not fault him for being black, as such racism is just vile.
Published: September 17, 2009 - In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.
Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”...
“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away from that.”
That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.
“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”
“White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked. “I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”...
