i think ambwe is just stupid, frankly. like you said, ambwe can’t read. but worse, i really don’t think ambwe even got what you were saying. e.g., that, somehow or other, the “real” population is white and black population is just some kind of special case you add in when it matters. or something. you can’t get the sarcasm of your post if you’re not hip to reading the article without the blinders of white supremacist thinking.

Okay I’m late to this one but n notice how they weren’t overly interested in how many white people loved all of the previous white presidents. There are days I cannot read the news for fear of my head exploding.

Agreeable is not the issue.
Approving of policies based not on those policies, but on the bases of being of the same race.

You can dance all around it, but it is what it is.

Did you just say no black person would ever criticize Obama? Dude, you need to open your own damn eyes, take a look out there in the real world, and stop listening to Limbaugh and watching Beck. That shit is worse for you than weed could ever be.

And yeah, what Ashton said.

So, tell me why black folks are considered “outliers.” Why “should” the median be lower unless you are considering black folks a derivative from the norm? I’m reading that sentence exactly as you are and what I’m objecting too is the “outlier” status that people like this dude want to put black people in.

And I’m not arguing that there aren’t black folks out there that like him simply because he’s black. Of course there are. But my question remains; why aren’t the tables ever turned? Why weren’t people writing about how white folks inflated Reagan’s popularity back in the day?

Certainly white males would find a white, male president more agreeable. However, there is a key difference in this case — every single president so far has been a white male. Indeed until recently, nearly every politician in government has been a white male. So arguing that white males agreed with past presidents simply because they look similar would imply that white males would have agreed with nearly ALL politicians, a notion that is just silly.

If President Obama’s ratings are in fact being artificially inflated because he is black, I think all that shows is that Americans are still in shock, particularly African Americans, who I can imagine are elated that a black man was actually elected president.

It will take months and perhaps years before the dust settles and we start to see the true effects of Obama’s controversial plans. In the mean time, Obama’s ratings are probably somewhat arbitrary and meaningless.

I wish I could like Obama, but he’s actually following the same unhealthy agendas of the Bush Administration and being dishonest about it.
