[mostpost]

And it is a wise choice.

He's the guy who told us all that there were WMDs in Iraq.
That speech got us into Iraq.

The fact that he later renounced the ideas only goes to show that his opinions are at best suspect.


Now he's your hero? :lol:

Could you imagine if CP endorsed Romney?? He would be labeled as something that rhymed with " Bunkle Dom " :)

[Valuist]

Here's the Detroit News endorsing Romney. Detroit, the same town that was "saved" by the auto bailout.

[ArlJim78]

he's the quintessential RINO. they call him a longtime Republican, I say prove it. when has he ever spoken out on behalf of a Republican or Republican causes? why is it the only time he speaks about politics it's to support Obama?
he's another phony just like Obama. his comments about the wars and economy are laughable.

He was just "passing" to get ahead - then he stabbed Bush in the back when he couldn't leech any more off from him. On is own, Powell is a nothing. Being a Yes man got him where he is today.

[reckless]

Colin Powell is the most complete fake, phony and fraud in the history of this once great country. He has zero political credibility and this constant lifelong Republican description of him by the media is another joke, but expected.

John McCain is a war hero and consistently has been a very strong supporter of the military, our veterans and even Powell himself since the Bush I years. As most GOP conservatives know all too well, McCain is a moderate and definitely no right-wing radical that Powell constantly reminds us that he abhors and wails against.

Yet, that didn't stop Powell from dissing McCain and endorsing Obama in 2008.

Mitt Romney is also more the establishment formula conservative and not a staunch Constitutional conservative. He can be best described as one of those 'Big Tent' Republicans, the variety loved by Karl Rove, Jeb Bush and yes, Colin Powell, who always preached that we needed more of in the GOP.

Yet, Powell again endorses Obama for 2012, the same Obama that promises to squash the military, surrender our sovereignty and cripple our standing in the world.

Good riddance Colin Powell who needs you.

[Greyfox]

Powell's endorsement of Obama was more critical in 2008. His opinion carries less weight today.

[lsbets]

I lost all respect for Powell when he kept his mouth shut about Armitage being the "leaker" and let a witch hunt go forward that sent Scooter Libby to jail. Powell knew before the investigation started that Armitage was the source, yet he chose to keep his mouth shut. The man has a severe lack of integrity.

[lsbets]

What a laughable hatchet job of editing this thread. :ThmbDown:

PC crap.

Doesn't make sense to me. Mosty can go in thread after thread and call everyone racist who doesn't like Obama, says prominent black conservatives aren't really black, and that stays. When people speculate that Powell endorsed Obama bc of race, that gets removed. I don't get it.

What is so wrong with people questioning Powells motives that those posts need to be removed?

Hey, Ignoid, I expressed my opinion that Powell's decision stemmed from color. With 96% of blacks supporting BO, that's just A FACT.
You want to discuss a possible race angle, do it in an adult manner.

And learn how to spell ask.
Buzz off. How long have I been spelling AX. I even say it person. How 'bout them apples, Mr. PC?

Let's see, my comment was - Powell made a race based decision. Mulatto's unite.

What's the problem?

[lsbets]

So you agree with Mack's initial posts? This is getting SOOOOOOOO tiring...

If you are referring to him saying Powell endorsed because Obama is black, it is not relevant whether I agree or not. To be honest, I would rather not believe that, I would like to believe Powell still has a shred f decency left in him, but I can understand people thinking that. McCain is the ultimate moderate, much more than the republican presidents Powell served, and he chose to endorse Obama instead. Now you have Romney, another moderate, and he endorses the failed president for reelection.

Based on the posts I read, I did not see anything that warranted half the thread being deleted. Much worse is posted here on a daily basis. If I missed something please let me know.

[newtothegame]

Not to worry, something very simliliar happened to me last night at work.
Scenario.....me and another white guy (he's a flaming lib) are discussing the upcoming election. We are in the presence of two black workers (subordinates of mine who I personally have saved their jobs and they know it).
After about ten minutes of arguing policy with the other white guy, he turns and tells me the "only reason I don't like Obama is because he is black". The two black associates shake their head as in agreement. Now mind you, the only thing I menioned at any point during our discussion was about policy, Libya, Obamacare, debt, Auto bailout failure etc etc.
I just had two of my associates , who I have saved their jos, agree with the black comment.!!!!!!
Point is, blacks will vote for Obama for NO OTHER REASON then he is black. They couldnt even argue policy or implementation of Obama care yet they chose to believe the immediate pulling out of the race card.
Sorry Mike, I have to agree that Powell more then likely is voting for a "certain" reason!
Now as to what BM may or may not have said, the post are not there for me to comment on. But i do agree with the discussion that their is a definitive reason a super majority of one race is voting for obama based on one thing.

[PaceAdvantage]

He throws the phrase "Mulatos Unite" out there as if it's another sign of his never ending, unique brand of cleverness. But it was only done to stir up more shit that he can entertain himself with tonight while he's sitting online surfing iwantasugardaddy.com or whatever dating site aligns with his particular predilections these days.

Sorry Mike, I have to agree that Powell more then likely is voting for a "certain" reason! And I have no problem with someone postulating that Powell or anyone else is voting for Obama because he is black, or half-black, or whatever.

It was the MANNER in which it was done that I found unacceptable.

BM may think and act like he's the biggest swinging dick in this room, but I can assure you, he is not.

He's an abrasive, offensive ass half the time. Yeah, he's funny. Yeah, he's clever. But that will only carry you so far around here.

[Tom]

Sorry Mike, I have to agree that Powell more then likely is voting for a "certain" reason!

I don't think it as much a race thing as it is Powell is an opportunistic little weasel and he hitching his wagon to the horse he thinks will pull it farther. Romney would have no use for him, I'd wager.

That's right, Slim. Try and refute facts. 96% of blacks are voting for BO. Want to see CEO stats?

I live in the real world and state things the way they are, SHOCKING as they may be to Mr. PC.

Let's see now, because I use ax & mulatto I hate blacks. Because I talk about CEO's and wealth I'm anti-Semitic. Because I pimp you & cj for being Polish I hate Pollacks. (Can I say Pollack?) Because I deride Canadians, I loathe canucks. Because I use nerd, I hate nerds.

So much to stay on top of. Then, I've gone entire weekends talking in a southern accent. It's entertaining to play characters.

My little schtick is about done here. Too many stiffs.

Haven't you been paying attention? Many people lack half a brain, both here and in general. Sometimes it's refreshing to have people say things they way they are instead of tip-toeing around issues.

So we're clear, I believe Powell made a decision based on RACE.

If you had the intellectual capacity to know that Condi Rice was NOT our first black Sec of State. Colin Powell was not our first .... BO is not our first black Pres., and on & on.

At least that's what my black brotha's tell me. THEY don't think of them as black.

A technicality, but noteworthy nonetheless. :cool:

[bigmack]

The problem is you're a moron with too much time on his hands. When the hell do you get laid anyway?

You're the FIRST one to deride people for talking about post count/time on hands. Did you NOT read the PM yessaday when I said I was nursing an injury? Lotta nerve you talkin' about people and how much they post or where they spend their time.

AND the other matter is this.

What have I said, MAYBE 6 stories about schtuping & you mental defectives go BERSERK. So I dig women. BIG DEAL.

I've been in decade long, loving relationships and now I float around. So fuc**ing what? Do you goofs think it's THAT difficult for a dude to meet women and have some laughs together? I've thrown all kinds of personal stories around this joint. Thought I was in an environment where I could yap about anything but NOOOO.

I'm probably going to regret commenting, but the Mullato word is one of those words that makes folks cringe. Including me. It may be in the dictionary etc, but it has a negative context. It really is offensive.

If something is offensive to a group of people, why use it freely?

Look, I'm one that enjoys reading your posts b/c I don't take things here personally (esp in the sports OT- it's a playground & nothing more to me for college football). Politics this month is intense, but it's always nice to see a lil humor from you and Dan

Having said that, I hope you discontinue using that particular word (as well as poking at the Mod). That word / phrase really is offensive to literally millions in this nation. Blue or Red.

I don't get how it's offensive. Is there a formula for calling a person Black?

Is it by skin tone?

JHS went off on a jag about not calling someone black if they're Jamaican. How much nuance is there?

The 'source' Wiki says mulatto has fallen out of favor. The accepted nomenclature is biracial multiracial, mixed-race, and multi-ethnic.

See, I learned something taday. I'll stop using mulatto as others have learned not to refer to Asians as Oriental.

This thread is looking up as I LOVE learning new things & phraseology. :ThmbUp:

96% of blacks voted for Obama in 2008 solely because he is black. I can prove it.
In 2004 88% of blacks voted for the black guy John Kerry.

In 1984 90% of blacks voted for the black guy Walter Mondale.

Oh, wait a minute. Those aren't black guys. How can that be? How did they get 83 to 90 percent of the black vote? Maybe those blacks are voting based on policy.

It's not used that often any more, but it is considered quite accurate and to whom is it offensive?

Offensive to people that are of mixed race, black / white... Offensive to people that don't like to hear derogatory terms, also

20 yrs ago a lady that lived with me had 2 daughters. The oldest daughter's best friend, was a girl that was 1/2 black & white. When we (ladyfriend and me) sat in the stands at her daugher's volleyball and basketball games we'd hear that word describing her best friend. Sometimes in less than a nice tone, sometimes in a normal tone.

Thing is, that poor kid (daughter's best friend) heard it so many times in so many ways, you might as well as called her the N word. It had that kind of affect on her.

I don't understand why people don't get this much....If a class / race/ sect of people are offended by a word or nomenclature, then why throw it out? It makes one seem like they're stuck in the 60s, like when we called gays queers and thought nothing of it. Most of us have moved beyond thinking it's cool to call others names if it's insulting to them. Some, haven't.

I doubt Mack has a racist bone in his body, but that word does have negative connotations.

Sorry Elk, I have to agree with Grey here. You know I live in some of the deepest parts of the South. And I have heard Mullato used many times to describe someone of multinational background.
I personally have never thought or heard the term described as being "offensive".
N words yes, without a doubt. Mullato, not so much at least here in South east of new orleans.
Just my two cents!

By my calculations about 26% of the Black population voted in the last Presidential Election.

[bigmack]

I don't understand why people don't get this much....If a class / race/ sect of people are offended by a word or nomenclature, then why throw it out? It makes one seem like they're stuck in the 60s, like when we called gays queers and thought nothing of it. Most of us have moved beyond thinking it's cool to call others names if it's insulting to them. Some, haven't.

I doubt Mack has a racist bone in his body, but that word does have negative connotations.
I DO appreciate you recognizing I have no hate for any ethnic group. My schtick is more pushing the envelope based on sometimes/sometimes NOT, entertaining stereotypes. Hell, it works for Rickels!

On the other issue, I can't think of the last time I used, {what we'll now call the M word} but I don't recall it making much of an impression with the people and it was in a racially mixed company.

I CERTAINLY don't think it moves into Cher Half-Bred territory. BUT it's just a silly word. If people like yourself (& I enjoy your posting as well :ThmbUp: ) are offended by it, well, the dude abides.

[ElKabong]

Sorry Elk, I have to agree with Grey here. You know I live in some of the deepest parts of the South. And I have heard Mullato used many times to describe someone of multinational background.
I personally have never thought or heard the term described as being "offensive".
N words yes, without a doubt. Mullato, not so much at least here in South east of new orleans.
Just my two cents!

Qquestion> Would you say that word to people you knew were offended by it? Knowing you only as a poster here, you seem like as a respectable sort as there is....I doubt you'd intentionally insult anyone b/c of race, religion, etc. It doesn't seem to be a part of your make up

My personal experience, a girl that was of mixed race was ashamed to be called that. Deeper story there for her, not going into detail....but again, if people of mixed race DO take exception to that word, why use it? No one uses it anymore, like Mack says.

[bigmack]

Have you considered using a new handle to celebrate your err...rebirth into the primeval plant life? Smokey the Bear has a nice ring to it. Or how 'bout Ping Bong? :D

And if the boss really was concerned about the amount of time people spend in his joint, he could set up office hours. Maybe become a 9-5 kinda guy. Or even become more limiting by setting up a happy hour from 4-7 or whatever.

Ping Bong, I like it. I know it's not a subject geriatrics talk about much and I had NO IDEA I would enjoy it, but it's different than it was back when. Now, just a little dab'll do ya, and it's like 20 year old Scotch. Cheaper, no problem driving, and the laughs are a riot.

With Miguel getting all Nazi-like lately maybe we should pass a petition to Unionize this joint. We got RIGHTS.

Interesting. The girl was ashamed to be called mulatto but could accept being of mixed race.

Yes. Did you know that Eskimos don't like to be called Eskimos anymore?

[LottaKash]

Offensive to people that are of mixed race, black / white... Offensive to people that don't like to hear derogatory terms, also



Well then, if anyone is truly part white and part black, then what should we call them when the subject comes up ?

He/She is a "black-white" ?

CP is a "black-white" then....

Perhaps describing a person as a "BW" would not be so offensive...

OK then, CP is a BW..

Why is the world becoming so offended by so many things these days...?...Dang, Mulatto is in the dictionary....Why would a person who was conceived by one white parent and one black parent, object to being described by the accepted and correct usage of the word mulatto..?

Mixed race seems like a perfectly good designation, and easy to understand. If people are offended by a term, why use it? I think you are correct here.

Their first name, maybe?

[johnhannibalsmith]

... Maybe those blacks are voting based on policy.

If they had been voting in those numbers against a black candidate or voting in those numbers against more than one party, I think I'd take your point a bit more seriously.

I think it would be fairly silly to pretend as though blacks didn't vote en masse for Obama because of race, but I don't blame them one bit. Many whites voted for him for the same reason and it would be equally silly to pretend otherwise.

In 2008, we were only about half a decade removed from the end of segregation and the Civil Rights Acts, following centuries of the obvious and the indefensible. Considering most people vote with no clear picture of anything, a principled stance of wanting to see a black man as President is hardly the worst reason I've ever heard from people that have voted. Especially from those who had parents and grandparents that weren't even considered citizens because of their race and were able to see someone about to make history in the most important plight of their lives. It doesn't hurt that he was running against John McCain and not JFK. It's just too bad he isn't a very good President.

[johnhannibalsmith]

He was OBVIOUSLY talking about it in terms of race, NOT their name. Like some black friends of mine when they hear BO is our first black pres. They say, No he isn't. I'm Black. People ARE aware some blacks don't consider BO black, right? Or do I have to find the multiple youtubes of people like JJ & others saying things to that effect?

So, with all due respect to the CAVALCADE of PC'in, let's try and groove on the big picture. If mulatto is no longer accepted, so be it.

I just WISH I took the opportunity to thoroughly chastise jhs for using Oriental. Or no, that doesn't rise to this level?

[johnhannibalsmith]

..He was OBVIOUSLY talking about it in terms of race, NOT their name. ...

Yes, but it was indeed a hell of a quip, even out of context, and sort of gets right to the point. I ranted about it in a previous thread - it gets to tough not to identify people in terms of things like race, when people tend to go out of their way to make great efforts at making you recognize their race. It's a bit of a catch-22 at times for us mutts that look like standard crackas.

You did and I took notice. I never talk about Hawaiians anymore.

[LottaKash]

Thruout my lifetime I have had to fill in the race block in any particular form, ie; the Army.....

If I had to fill in that blank nowadays, would the description of race as "something" be a correct designation of "race"....Cause I object to being called a "Caucasian"....

Come on people, we are who we are....God created "all" the races, for his pleasure....The variety of life, if you will....

Get it, Mostie? Asian/Hawaiians - :lol:

Thing is about the whole dealio is even in your recent post about the strides made by the first black pres.... We've never stopped to define black. To some extent, that's what I was talking about with PA not being able to even explore the notion. Is it the dominant gene, and then you check the appropriate box on G-Forms? I mean people of full mixed race are equally one and the other. You CAN understand the point of confusion for some?

[PaceAdvantage]

The 'source' Wiki says mulatto has fallen out of favor. The accepted nomenclature is biracial multiracial, mixed-race, and multi-ethnic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MulattoOh, it said more than that:

"Although still in use by some, the term mulatto has fallen out of favor, and is considered offensive in the United States."

But I know, you're used to rolling with a much more enlightened crew. :rolleyes:

Elk, I wouldnt call anyone anything KNOWING they would be offended by it. That is just foolish. My only point in this is that the term nullato, as a genearl rule, is not considered offensive. Now I am sure if i looked far and wide I could find someone that doesnt like the term or finds it offensive. And with those people I would appologize and do my best not to make the same mistake again.
But, I also have to say that in this world, people use the term offensive and racist and political correctness way to often when they do not wish orcan not argue facts. Now, I am not saying this is your case or your experiences....
I am just saying that for pmsnbc and other media outlets to make claims that the reason someone is not voting for Obama is because he is black is totally absurd. these people do not wish to talk about his record and that's why they make these absurd claims. It puts the opposition on the defensive.
me personally, last night when it happened to me, I just chuckled to myself and knew that I had won the discussion for them to resort to that tactic!

[newtothegame]

I stand corrected as pointed out by Wiki....:bang:
If it is considered an offensive word, I sure as hell didnt know it. My apologies.
My question is this though, if i see and hear it randomly used and no one has been offended that I see, who is it that finds this offensive according to Wiki????
Isn't wiki a site that can be changed at a persons whim???
Funny wiki has it as offensive yet Merriams websters doesnt.....

1: the first-generation offspring of a black person and a white person
2: a person of mixed white and black ancestry

[Tom]

96% of blacks voted for Obama in 2008 solely because he is black. I can prove it.
In 2004 88% of blacks voted for the black guy John Kerry.
In 2000 90% of blacks voted for the black guy Al Gore.
In 1996 84% of blacks voted for the black guy Bill Clinton.
In 1992 83% of blacks voted for the black guy Bill Clinton.
In 1988 89% of blacks voted for the black guy Michael Dukakis.
In 1984 90% of blacks voted for the black guy Walter Mondale.

Oh, wait a minute. Those aren't black guys. How can that be? How did they get 83 to 90 percent of the black vote? Maybe those blacks are voting based on policy.


And we have been against all those guys, so now, we are agianst Obama and suddenly we are racists?

[rastajenk]

Seems like mostie painted himself into a corner with that one.

If those stats are accurate, isn't it surprising that the real first black President, Clinton, got the lowest %age of Af-Am votes? Or that both Bushes picked up some votes from the demographic in their reelection tries?

[ArlJim78]

Last time I checked into it blacks voted for the democrat to a higher degree than democrats as a whole did. I find it odd that a race would be as much or more partisan than an actual political party.

[HUSKER55]

HOLD ON!!!!!!

THE SPIN IS A'CUMMIN! :D

[MONEY]

That's right, Slim. Try and refute facts. 96% of blacks are voting for BO. Want to see CEO stats?






If you had the intellectual capacity to know that Condi Rice was NOT our first black Sec of State. Colin Powell was not our first .... BO is not our first black Pres., and on & on.

At least that's what my black brotha's tell me. THEY don't think of them as black.

A technicality, but noteworthy nonetheless. :cool:


So which is it.

Nothing of the sort was said. How can you get something so wrong? As someone pointed out above those were all democrats. Blacks vote for democrats because they believe that democratic policies best impact their lives. I vote for democrats because I believe democratic policies best impact the lives of the most people.

I would not want to speculate why you vote for Republicans or Tea Partiers, except to say that it is weird. And self defeating.

http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/elections/how_groups_voted/voted_96.html#.UIrDIW_A-Sq

the link above is where I found the information. Just change the 96 to whichever election year you want and you will see the data for that election.

I think the reason for Clinton's lower percentages was Ross Perot. He received 7% of the black vote in 1992 and 4% in 1996.

Also Bush I did not pick up more black votes from 1988 to 1992. He lost votes in that demographic-11% in 88 to 10% in 1992. Of course that is something you could not know from the information I provided originally.

[Tom]

I would not want to speculate why you vote for Republicans or Tea Partiers, except to say that it is weird. And self defeating.

Not according to the results of the last several elections.

And yes, it has been said that anyone who wants Obama out is a racist.

And I will say this about Powell. I would vote for him for President over Romney (too bad he's 75-years-old). Despite his flaws (such as his support for Obama), I find his intelligence, his level-headedness, and his military experience very appealing in a potential candidate. All three of these things seem to be lacking in one way or another with Obama/Romney.
