White people for Romney
Obama has recently set up a super PAC he lovingly calls "African Americans for Obama" so I say we start a super PAC called "white Americans for Romney." Discuss.
damn... how original
no thats racist
I'm not touching that one with a 10-Foot pole 'cause it's too easy to point out the wrongness of it; However, even if I were to donate to a SuperPAC that goes to a GOP candidate, I wouldn't give my money to Romney, Santorum or Gingrich.
well i suppose if it was blacks enslaving whites and subjecting them to 100 years of jim crow and extrajudicial violence then your idea would make plenty of sense.
but with your 50 million dollah fortune i am sure you can make this thing happen, either way.
This
Obama can't set up a Super PAC, Super PACs are set up and run independently of candidates. It's an awful system that poisons the political well.
Why is there an African Americans for Obama? I thought there was supposed to be equality across everyone?
comeon tony, equality doesn't include white people
oh..and he does endorse it

Wonder if that website was made by white guys.
'white people' aren't exactly known for making websites. just saying.
I'm in.
lol white people have had it rough in the 236 years of this country. oh when will we throw off the shackles of oppression and reach the promised land?
no you stfu.
impressed with my rhetorical skillz?
Spot on.
Does this prove Obama was born in Africa??
nothing more attractive than a bunch of middle class white guys (except for rockefeller heister here) feeling sorry for themselves.
pretty sure no one is feeling sorry for themselves...it seems people are more offended that obama is playing the race card
ok tony point taken.
let me ask all the white dudes: for all the supposed goodies that our negro brethren get through obama's magical racial set asides or whatever, would you trade places with a black man? any black man?
if i had to choose between being me and being don cheadle...i'd be me.
come on dude it is obvious you are indian or chinese. which one is it?
thats racist...because you're asking a white person to choose between being white or black...racist
well no shit i never said i wasn't a big fucking racist myself!
I'm for the African Americans for Romney superPAC. At least they could come up with a better ''Flip Floping'' dance.
lol ok im out
Can you guys imagine how much the liberal media would be crying foul if a white canadiate endorsed "white Americans for xxx canadiate"
the liberal median yawns when irish american and italian american and jewish american groups invite candidates for fundraising and Q&As. In fact when your man Romney was in Florida he was asked which Hispanic American leaders he would choose for his cabinet and he didn't question the premise of the question. we all celebrate St. Patrick's day and NY Italians parade their colors on Columbus day on NBC with no faux outrage.
ur faux outrage is not impressive.
No one gives a shit about groups who do this, I have a problem with Obama starting this himself.
well who would you rather be...African American or RatinaMaze?
holy jesus just as one of the greatest troll feasts of all time is about to start i get called in for a meeting. have fun without me for the next few hours.
where the fuck is ratinamaze these days anyways? haven't seen any new posts from that sexless little elf.
i've seen jewish american, asian american,italian american, indian american,irish american and hispanic american organisations.
why do some people insist that african americans are about the 'race card'? what is your problem, heister? for a guy with 50million(no proof whatsoever) u have a lot resentment in u. and what is white people?
and when did obama say he was 'post-racial'. the straw man argument is getting old.
How fucking sensitive must people be to be crying over Obama having an African Americans for Obama section of his website. Give me a fucking break.
"uhh uhh he's playing the race card."
We've got bigger things to worry about than your manufactured white oppression issues.
I don't think anyone (ok..maybe a few people) is offended that there is a superPAC for black people for Obama. I'm certainly not offended. But if it's to the point now that if there was a superPAC started for another candidate (i.e. Romney), called "white americans for romney" it would be deemed racist. I don't understand that. There is nothing wrong with Black people supporting obama, catholics for santorum, etc. but why can't there be "white people for Romney"?
How is that inherently different from "black people for obama"? Any race could start a superPAC about themselves, such as: indians for santorum, hispanics for obama, etc. But if a white group wants one..OH HELL NO RACIST RACIST
1.) It's not racist, it's just fucking retarded.
2.) African American has a lot more baggage than general white Americans. We can dance around this all day, but African American is more akin to a grouping of Jewish Americans, or Italian Americans, or Roman Catholic Americans. White is far more encompassing. You can deny this all you want, I'm not going to argue about it.
3.) All this is is a bullshit way to complain some more about Obama. "omg he's supposed to be post-racial BUT HE'S PLAYING THE RACE CARD!" It's non-sense. People that don't like him projecting their own ideas on to him in order to trash him some more.
This has less to do with the idea of black people wanting people of their own race to support them, has more to do with the fact that Obama billed himself as post racial. It's hypocritical to then say all black people should vote for me because I'm black. It's just as bad as those fucks who have "white guilt"
u are full of shit. when did obama call himself post-racial. links please. do you have a problem with Jewish groups fundraising for their select candidates?
Obama didn't bill himself as post-racial, don't assume he did just because it was on the cover of Time magazine.
Also, having an "African Americans for Obama" page hardly equates to playing the race card. If you're going to complain about that, you're being way too sensitive and are projecting your own ideas onto him so you have another thing to complain about.
This is hardly as offensive as Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich giving speech after speech exclaiming how "secularists are ruining America." They constantly disparage those who aren't religious as being inferior and lacking moral character. That's way more offensive than Obama having a page about black people supporting him.
Give me a break.
for an online community which often claims that 'networking' is the biggest factor for getting in this industry there are a lot of resentments for people who don't "deserve" to be in.
btw do u still have 50million. 'cos dude, i might need a handout.
I love how everyone lumps all white people into the same basket. Irish, Italian, Eastern European, etc are all white and have all had different experiences in this country. To say we are all the same because we all look a like is one of the most bigoted things I have heard recently.
And White People for Romney is exactly the same as African Americans for Obama. Getting people to vote for you simply because of the color of your skin has no place in 2012 America.
Oh well, racism is only racism when certain people do it. Gotta love hypocrisy.
i can assure u that jewish americans for obama are not voting bcos of his color. my point being that those who claim obama is playing the race card are asking him not to ask for the african american vote the way they would expect him to appeal to, say, the jewish vote. it seems it's okay to talk about jewish vote, catholic vote, hispanic vote, firemans vote(good one lol) but hey, african american vote, that's because he's black! got it?
the race card means nothing in this post. it is a projection by the author in this troll post.
Well, black people were all lumped together regardless of tribe. There is a growing population of non-african american blacks, do we differentiate between them? We were quite happy to call Obama, a half-white, half-kenyan man black, regardless of his "experiences". Bigoted.
Who is offended by this? Seriously. If Santorum had a "Catholics for Santorum" page, I would not care.
Santorum consistently insults people who aren't religious and claims that our lack of godliness is causing our downfall. That offends me as a free-thinking person a lot more than some fucking throwaway page on the Obama campaign website.
Obama is 100% smart for playing this up. Black approval ratings for Obama are higher than would be assumed for another Democrat. It is obvious there is some racial element to this. If I was Obama I would leverage that to the hilt.
My point is that we live in a hypocritical society where it is socially exceptable to court votes because of your race if you are non white, whereas 'Whites for XYZ" would be destroyed viciously in the press if it ever happened.
The retort is that whites have had it easy, as if all whites are the same. That thinking labels someone a racist if you said in about Asians, but to say that all whites are the same is bigoted and naive.
That is all my point. I am agnostic about this tactic and would utilize it if I was Obama.
This; with all the usual mudslinging and pandering, the only time people complain is if it's the candidate they don't like. Anyone who is arguing against, or even for, in this thread needs to grow up and realize politics are just as dirty as greasing deals in banking or persuading judges and jury. And let someone hear your weaksauce complaints and you'll never be models and bottles. Man the fuck up kids...don't worry about the white house, worry about YOUR house.
geez, all of these problems just because you're ancestors did not want to pick up their own cotton.
Imagine if they did, their would be no 'african american superpac for obama' and would be no obama neither.
lol
Slavery would have ended with the cotton gin. Liberia was set up as a place of return for slaves post civil war. Had Lincoln not been assassinated there would have been no superpac either.
Either way, the British and Spanish are to blame for things.
Slavery was bad economics.
The funniest part though, is that you guys forced black people to come to your country to live with you, lol
abdel, be careful, ur cousins in iraq are currently wishing that bush had had enough oil in good ole texas in the year of our lord 2003. haha. i get the joke.
ah there is another ethnicity to blame for slavery...but i dare not speak it...
Arabs.
African Americans For Obama : Whites for Romney :: BET : ???
Don't forget the Hispanics. They're breeding at Grand V speed and they all want that citizenship + benefits Obama promised them in his immigration reform plan, that he will implement in 2012 to win their votes.
abdel, i can assure u that perkis' 'america' are more concerned about the perceived threat of people with your kind of names than breeding hispancs. the mohmmeds and abdels worry rush more than hernandez does.
At least I know my real name. Black people still walking around with their white master name and still pray the white people's god.
EDIT: My reponse was a bit harsh, unnecessary and contained zero strong arguments. I'm sorry. I will however keep it to remind myself about how weak of a response it was from my part.
americans mostly pray to whoever the fuck they want to pray to. in some places that's still not possible.just saying.
as for names, did u know that lots of immigrants(jewish, eastern europens, even asians(not slaves) back in the good old boyz club days(and even today(see natalie portman's real name) used to change their names in order to fit in. in other words, people just hustling, bro.
hehe
Well, my point is, since black people couldn't build the necessary structures to develop themselves, they got on their knees infront of white people and did what they had to do (sold their dignity and honor) just so they can use the structure and survive.
That's the difference. Some people will sell their dignity for a sandwich. Some will rather die than sell their dignity & honor.
i actually lol'd at this
tony, there's nothing like white people. don't lump people who don't agree with your grievance games into 'whites'. i don't watch BET and i'm black.
i know there are newspapers that target demographics such as jewish, irish,italian, russian, serbian, armenian american communities.
bottomline, nothing to see here.
How the heck does Obama have a 95% approval rating among black americans? Do they even think for themselves, or are they going to continue worshipping Obama just because of his skin color?
brady, u're welcome. did u get a job yet? or still wallowing in self pity, jealousy and sheer bumness?
Ugh Skin Check, Brady.. .Skin Check.
i see a new contingent has checked in. do some reading first, okay?
I am confused... why does he, excuse me I mean his supporters, need to spend money on a SuperPac for blacks...
They are going to vote for him either way, lawls. Not like you need to reach out and educate them beforehand about your political stances....
Seriously, just get a couple buses for major black counties to shuttle them all to the polling booths.. they know who they are voting for (it aint the white man).
Again: Obama does not and cannot legally spend money on the Super PAC. Super PACs are organized independently of a candidate and cannot coordinate with a candidate.
We can thank the Citizens' United ruling for that.
If I was black and reading this thread (especially some of the recent posts), I would be pretty pissed off.
FD: I'm white.
most of the black people here are ignore these rantings. just rantings.
barack obama is the jeremy lin of presidential politics. there, i said it.
end this thread NOW.
Melvvar is mad because he couldn't troll on this thread. Dude is stuck in his meeting, lol.
i know i missed the boat. it was a productive meeting though.
Just don't even undertand what one is setting out to achieve by posing this question. Are you really mad at the disadvantages of being white?
white people have no rhythm and are terrible dancers. i know several white people and can confirm this.
also, i once heard that "white men can't jump". is this true?
Fuck yes it's true. I can confirm this as I'm a whitey.

McDonalds has website promoting their company for black people. Therefore McDonalds is racist and everyone should stop eating there.
I thought we lived in a world of Post-Racial Hamburgers.
Early candidate for post of the year.
It shouldn't be whites for Romney, it should be everyone for him.
McDonald's is so racist it's unbelievable
He didn't set it up.
It'd be hilarious if someone did "White People for Romney".
Who gives a fuck if African Americans want their own Super PAC? They probably already have one for conservative candidates as well, so why are your panties in a bunch over one for the democratic candidate?
Obama can play the race card because he's fucking black. Anyone can play the race card for god's sake. It's just ineffective if you play it as a white person.
The political firmness on this board is obnoxious. Everyone should loosen up a bit.
Aye.
People need to learn them some histories. Everyone has been enslaved in all societies, at all times. The only exception is when whites banned it.
Has anyone ever considered the reason that there is an African Americans for Obama SuperPac is because african americans tend to not make political donations? Therefore, by having the SuperPac, more African Americans would be inclined to donate money to Obama...
Why not have an African Americans for Romney SuperPac. I am african-american and I have no problem with a White Americans for Romney (Though I do not know how widely it would be received because most blacks probably will not give money to Romney, therefore he has a White Americans for Romney SuperPac's already).
And alot of the comments on these pages are completely idiotic. Remember, African Americans 50 years ago could not even sit on the front of the bus. So saying we had "200 years" to get over that is foolish. We had since 1964 and its is going to take atleast another generation or two before we get to where we need to be.
This. Slavery isn't so much the problem as Jim Crow is/was.
And the thing is...even after Jim Crow, we STILL did not get real opportunities. African Americans did not really start assimilating into corporate culture until the 1980's (maybe more so 1990's) and even than, most African Americans started graduating regular universities in the 1980s and got crappy jobs..My generation are the first to really have a somewhat decent shot at corporate America..My kids and Grandkids will have it alot better..
But anyway, back to the topic. As I said before, most African Americans do not give political donations, so it is a way for Obama to tap into political support (financially) from one of his strongest support bases.
In the meantime, it appears that all of you guys are arabs.
''A new study, using genetic analysis to look for clues about human migration, suggests that the first modern humans settled in Arabia on their way from the Horn of Africa to the rest of the world.
Led by the University of Leeds and the University of Porto in Portugal, the study is published today in American Journal of Human Genetics and provides intriguing insight into the earliest stages of modern human migration, say the researchers.''

Arab? No. Arabs are newcomers in the fertile crescent. Arabs arrived long, long after the people migrated away from the Arabian peninsula.
I wanna set up a super PAC called "ballers for carried interest as capital gains"
I don't see the big deal. Before Obama was in office there were African Americans for Bill Clinton. I'm sure there is an African Amercians for Romney somewhere too. Politicans have always courted racial groups it's nothing new. The only difference now is Obama is black (or mixed)
The majority never need to have their own groups as they are the majority.
Important news everyone - Obama is not american again - he forged his birth certificate - straight from the mouth of pink underwear to prisoner giving Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

This is not the first time this has been brough up. I remember reading a report from some well respcted document forgery experts saying similar things.
My eyes and head hurt from reading every post on this thread. The bottom line is this, if the PC police would stop policing this wouldn't be such a fucking issue.
White people for Rom, Black people for Obama, Anti- gay people for Rick, who gives a flying fuck? As long as you aren't extremely PC you shouldn't get all butt hurt but of course our society is RUN by PC people so hence why a thread like this gets oh...100+ responses.
All is well, down with PC. If the chick fat...I call it like I see it.
Typical. You like fat white chicks.
hahaha... bad, bad.
