These hypothetical questions based on race are just plain fucking stupid....
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 03:40 PM by jeffrey_X
when you sit down and try think about it.

These hypothetical questions about skin color really don't serve any purpose when you think about it. Are we supposed to imagine that Obama lived his life as an African American and then suddenly turned white? Or are we supposed to imagine that Obama would have taken the exact same path, which has forged his political career, if he were white?

Are we supposed to imagine that if Jesse Jackson were white, that he would have marched with MLK and stood on the balcony while MLK was shot? Wouldn't you think that Jackson's experience as a black man in America and his experience with MLK was a big factor in his political career.

These hypothetical statements and questions are for the ignorant. They are just fucking stupid.

1. Jackson stood on the baloney while MLK was shot?
So you believe in the lunchmeat theory?
