If you black, you can't criticize Obama...

[Silver Surfer]

its pathetic

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

honest, constructive criticism is the best thing you can do for anyone...even the president.

Even that is c00ning if you do that to Obama and your black

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

I disagree. As an outside observer to your community, I see blacks chastising Obama frequently enough for appealing to whites and gays in particular... As well as for not doing enough for the african american community.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Even that is c00ning if you do that to Obama and your black

so if you disagreed with something Obama did you would just change your opinion to support him?

i'd rather be called a c00n by someone of your mental stature than have opinions that flow back and forth like blades grass on a windy day.

You just said your an outside observer. You are also speaking for a small minority.

Im an inside observer...you ask 8/10 blacks about Obama policies that have shaped America in a postive way...they will look at you crazy

hmmm...do you think I agree with the title? Im making a point about the black community as a whole

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

I didnt say that faction was the majority. That being said, no significant portion black people are going to vote against Obama and thats what matters in the end

i assumed you did agree with the title.
if i'm mistaken then let me know, i'm not familiar with your political positions or your sense of irony.

Well his point is that Blacks are viewed as c00ns if they critisize Obama. I don't think he's calling them c00ns himself. That's what I get from this thread unless I'm horribly wrong.

And thats fine, but then I ask, "why are you voting for him"...Are you personally vested in his ideas and policies and how they affect you...or are you voting for him because.....

But let me give a valid reason why I wont vote for him to the average sheep...im c00nin

If I said Obama has kept Bush national security policies in place....The average black folk would say "Bush was dumb"

Well, he is a black democratic president... And Romney has proved to be terrible at appealing to the african american demographic, no question. I'll just say that I think Obama, regardless of his performance, is a huge milestone for black people in america, and so pretty much he'd have to do some drastic shyt to lose their vote. I don't even know what.

That being said I think its wack that black people have to deal with silly dichotomies of not being black enough when they do certain things, or c00ning or whatever. It's like how people will say "you're not a man" if you don't or do do ______. Is there a definition of what I should act like based on my demographic, and why?

Indians dont have to deal with this as much, but I feel you on some level. I don't think i'd vote for a brown guy just because he was a leading candidate for one of the big parties... I like to try and stay a little detached from that.

Spoiler

I'm prolly only saying that because bobby jindal is the most prominent indian politician and he's a fukking brownnoser, he'll do anything to make himself more palatable to white people

Its deep man.

I like Obama, dont get me wrong...there are just things I see hypocritical about him

But Im a dude that likes to look at why people say and do certain things, whether its an individual or a collective.

I agree with what you said about Bobby J

I heard that term used for Dr. Cornel West in his valid criticisms of Obama.
