ok SJP...instead of constantly calling Eagle a racist, how about you prove it. Quote any racist comments that he has made. If you can't, then STFU with the racist BS.


somebody quote this so the moron can see it.

He cannot do that.

Yet I can point out that he thinks women of third world nations should look up to Michelle Obama because he declared her...

"as dark as they come."

Any reasonable person would, ironsides.. At least anybody who has traveled to third world countries, seen the racism, the snobbery, the caste system that is prevalent there (in general the darker the woman, more she is treated with contempt).

Is this a post or a personal message that you outed Ironsides with?

Many third world women identify with Michelle Obama precisely because she looks dark (at least that is what CNN says, and I tend to agree, sounds reasonable to me). They did not identify with Hillary Clinton (who is fully as educated, as articulate as Michelle) or with Laura Bush.

Too bad for you the responses to the article stated different. Women in India felt offended that they should look up to the wife of a powerful man as opposed to Indian women who were powerful in their own right.

You couldn’t’ be more wrong if you tried, EagleSmack. This is what the article says about India.

"She could be a new face for India," says Ferreira, program officer for an HIV-prevention program run by World Vision, an international humanitarian group. "She shows women that it's OK to have dark skin and to not have a son. She's quite real to us."


"Those who focus on Michelle Obama's impact on America are underestimating her reach. The first lady is inspiring women of color around the globe to look at themselves, and America, in fresh ways."


Many Indian women look up to her precisely because she is dark skinned. Anyway, I get the impression that you really haven’t traveled much in the third world countries. I have (well only in India, but I was able to observe India down to the slum level). You judge everybody with your conservative, Republican standards.

Michelle is a Democrat so third world women cannot possibly look up to her (this according to you). Do you think that third world women looked up to Laura Bush (or to Nancy Reagan)? My suggestion would be travel to broaden your horizons.

I take it Ferreira is a common surname in India?

You just don't get it. None of that is "as dark as they come"

Ferreira sounds Latino, Portuguese, or Spanish. Yet this Ferreira can speak for Indian women? Absurd.

Name a few. I'd suggest the vast majority don't pay much attention to US politics, but are more concerned with what and who they are familiar with. Your hypothesis is silly.

So? You judge everyone by whatever silly standards you have.

My suggestion would be for you to grow up.

Ironsides being a Conservative in here...well isn't he by being a Conservative "racist" in your view?

I never call anybody a racist, EagleSmack. Calling somebody a racist is a copout, that means you have run out of arguments. I only reciprocate. Since you called me a racist, I returned the favour and called you one (and illustrated how most blacks regard many conservatives as racist).

But I much prefer to engage in substantive arguments, rather than name calling.

Getting short on your meds Joey?

You are a racist because of your racist declarations.

I'm curious if SJP can explain that comment.

'I never do something, except when I do it.'


That is easy TenPenny. I would never call anybody a racist, except when somebody else calls me one. Then I consider myself free to call him a racist, if he indeed is one (as is the case with EagleSmack).

It's similar to the one I noticed where he basically said most blacks are liberal and I am liberal, therefore I am not racist.
Innocence by association. :D

But that's not what you said originally. You said that you never call someone a racist.

Now you're qualifying it.

You do this in every single thread, on every subject. You make blanket unconditional statements, then start adding weasel words to it later when people call you on your shyte.
