It's really sad liberals chose this token.

There are many qualified and quality Negros who could have put this country in order and brought people together.

Instead, they chose a drama queen. His boyfriend is even embarrassed to be seen with him.

Hoosein is Soros puppet.

His commenting on a person who actually does something for the negro community was a blatant attempt at separation.

Now, I'll explain my stance again.

I have many negro friends. They are from Mexico and other south American countries. They'll cut a **** if ya call them African American.

Ya either from Africa or America.

Any other designation is separatist, IMO.

Thank you for the detailed clarification, msharmory.

I understood the direct context the president was implying, but the statement itself caught my attention and I reversed my DVR so I could jot down that exact quote and have been contemplating it's deeper meaning than how he surface applied it.

My freakish mind works that way, can't help it...

Anyway, first I had to define with my own logic what he meant by the word "ignorance"... and I thought he could be referring to a fundamental "lack of knowledge" or an even deeper meaning... a form of "bigotry" in which feelings are developed and expressed based on the level of knowledge one possesses.

But the president also said, "advertise their ignorance" which threw me, because the coach was one person having a private conversation and probably didn't know he was being recorded so his personal stance could be disclosed publicly.

Which started my wheels turning that the president was generalizing, and I wanted to get to the meatier aspects of his terminology.

So overall, and in context, was he lauding the secret recording by saying "you don't have to do anything other than let them talk... (meaning of "do anything"... like instigate the conversation to entrap)?

Do you get where I'm coming from?

P.S.

It's like he was saying...

If you know people have issues or agendas you can stand quietly by and listen to what they're saying to profile them.

Much like the NSA has been doing to most of us Americans so they'll know the lovers and the haters.

Because...

1) Most people don't curb their tongue especially when they're passionate about something.

2) Most people don't think what they're saying can or might be used against them if everybody's on board.

Needless to say, the president really got me thinking on this subject.

its interesting, but I doubt there was anything deeper than a response to a specific question about a specific person and something they said

Cambridge dictionary

advertise: to make something known generally or in public, esp. in order to sell it:


so, though we most often associate advertising with something public, it isn't necessary,,,,,,,the conversation sounded to me as if this man made it 'generally' known to this woman through many different conversations how he felt about being 'seen' with black people,,,,,

Some here are quick to yell that there is still racism in America. To a very MINOR degree, that is true. There are always some who just don't move forward or consider anything other than what they are conditioned or raised to believe, but like I said, they are a true minority of bigots, haters or the uninformed.

This case of the team owner bears that out.

He is being chastised from all sides, and not just blacks! The outrage to his comments have spanned the globe! He may be a billionaire, and the LA NAACP even says they "forgive" him (he supports them financially of course..... a tax write-off), but the ridicule from all sides speaks volumes to the fallacy that racism is alive and well to the degree many would like to state it does.

There will always be haters in the world, always has been, but perception and reality are not always one and the same...... except in the minds of some.

To them I say..... get over yourself! Most don't play that game any longer. We all walk the same Earth, under the same Sun, and if you have an issue with race, color or creed, it's your cross to bear, not others!

Like this rich fool failed to realize, these days, there's always someone listening..... and THAT.... is an issue!
