The hate never began with me. TGFD doesn't hate anybody. Not liking someone, some group, or some ideology does not automatically imply hatred on my part. I don't associate with those I don't care for, that's all. Hating takes too much energy. WhyTF should I spend my life hating something/someone when that hatred harms no one but me?You can hate if you want to, but I don't have to. Maybe that's why I look so young at my age.

TGFD understands that "going third person" is often considered a sign of mental instability. I prefer to think of it as TGFD's eccentricity instead. I have fun with it sometimes.
BTW, you beat me to the mullato spelling correction. In the south they call them "high yellas". Haven't heard that one lately though, but obama's black; no doubt about that.
I don't give a shit what DB posters think. DB posters do like "sex and crazy", and I used to give it to them until the rapid Wall St meltdown started in Sept. I think we've all been preoccupied lately.
WTF is "trollish" about my behavior anyway?

Good to hear from you again. Last time we talked was in the wee hours, but TGFD doesn't usually tune in to DB in the middle of the night. I too like "Beat the shit out of TGFD hour". It is fun, and I certainly have no hard feelings.
Just a final thought for all the liberals...If you haven't already experienced it, watch for changes in behavior from black and hispanic lower-level employees -- waitresses, cleaning people, sales clerks, govt employees, et al. You'll notice a growing hostility and a certain rudeness toward whites. Maybe you'll wonder, "WTF did I do to them?" Keep on the lookout for it. It is a sign of things to come. It hasn't happened yet to me personally, but I did witness it Wednesday -- just one day after the election.

"Post hoc ergo propter hoc"
After, therefore, because of. It's rarely if ever true.
People have been kicking each other in the balls for years, regardless of race. That you noticed it after/during/just before the election doesn't mean it was because of the election, merely that you attributed it to the election.
Racism is a natural response to fear; we're often hyper responsive to those things we don't understand, or want to understand. It's easier to basket it and shelf it (so to speak) than to have to deal with whatever it is.

#106 - I agree, I wrote #105.
The problem is not racism. True racism does not exist in America as it has in the past. The problem is equity of opportunity. There are those in our society who do not have a good work ethic, who do not understand the ideas of self-improvement and working through adversity and the American pioneer spirit and taking the initiative and responsibility for one's own success/failure. Instead of working hard, these people blame racism for their failure. They believe in big government to help them out. They do not understand what it is to be an American, to depend on yourself and not on government. They do not understand that this principle is central to being American and is what makes us strong. They believe it is cooler to be the victim, than shrugging off the ills that life throws at you and overcoming hardship. It is these people that I am afraid of.
I am not white. I was born and raised here by immigrant parents from India. Parents who worked hard and wanted the American Dream. The future of conservatism lies in the American Dream. This transcends any race. Time will expose the lies and sheer lack of substance of the liberal Obama agenda. An agenda that is antithetical to the American Dream.
In school, there were times when I was made fun off for my race or background, but as a true American, I shrugged it off and found that it made me stronger and more individualistic. Today, children are taught to cry and take on the role of the victim and use that to make excuses for their lack of skill. Tell me, what good is it to go through life without ever getting offended? Does that make our children stronger? Shielding them from 'being offended' and encouraging them to play the victim is only going to make them weaker. When I talk to old Catholics, they too were sometimes discriminated against. But their reaction to it was similar to mine. Be a strong individual, drop the group mentality and victim-hood politics.
Get over yourself Obama, get over yourselves 'disadvantaged minorities.' Learn to become stronger and take your success into your own hands and stop playing the victim, no matter how much you enjoy using it as an excuse to keep from working harder. I see a resurgent conservative movement coming, as non-whites finally realize that race is irrelevant and that ideas are more important. No one ever mentions the 95%+ of blacks that voted for Obama...isn't that voting based on race, yet more than 75% of them in California voted against gay marriage...conflicts with their vote for the most liberal member of the Senate. Anyway, the Left is always been somewhat of the odd-kid out in the U.S.. The Left does not represent what America stands for and never really will gain that much power. Look for a shift to the right, as race becomes less of an issue that the Left can pander to.

#108 - My great great great grandfather might have been a slave....so, that is why I listen to rap, speak Ebonics and curse. I hate math and science, it is an invention by white people. So, I'm going to blame white-people for my ills and raise my 5 children the same way. It's white people's fault for bringing my great great great grandfather to America. And while I have all the opportunity now and live in the richest nation on earth, rather than an African slum, I will still hate America and the "PO-leece" and vote for change.

Hey, I think I saw Obama-girl at a strip-club like a year ago. Can she read? I heard Obama paid her some of his Palestinian terror money, I mean "campaign funds" to make a video and subliminally get dumb young people to vote for him.

Obama himself claimed to lack the experience required to serve as Commander in Chief:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BnLozS-TnM
This clown has 1 year "experience" in the US Senate (the rest was on a campaign bus/plane/train).
If you read about his childhood (which was spent in Indonesia living as "Barry Soetoro" with Muslim stepfather Lolo Soetoro), Obama undoubtedly has deep emotional scarring from a mother who was apparently quite disturbed, and a Nigerian father (Barack Hussein Obama Sr) who left them both.
Picture yourself at 10 years old, and think about how you felt about the United States at the time. Now imagine someone who doesn't have a clue how that feels, and you have Mr Obama.
Here's a revealing article, published before the media circled the wagons around their Chosen One:

#113- At least he's honest.
I don't expect Obama to know very much either. That's why they have advisers, people who study 'economics' all their lives.
I'm sure a community organizer from South-Side Chicago knows all about economics...i mean how to manipulate poor people to vote for you.
I'd take advice from Hank Paulson anyday over that crooked "community organizer" and his cronies, who have only made money by working the political/charity systems, rather than create value on their own. And don't even mention Obama's books - William Ayers wrote them, not Obama, so Obama cannot claim to create any economic value from them.
May be Obama actually created some value when he was selling crack as a young man (young G/thug). The only business that he could claim to have honestly made some money from under legitimate market forces. TRULY SAD.

Just a few weeks ago, at the height of the campaign, Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota told Chris Matthews of MSNBC that, when it came to Mr. Obama, “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.”
But there she was on Wednesday, after narrowly escaping defeat because of those comments, saying she was “extremely grateful that we have an African-American who has won this year.” Ms. Bachmann, a Republican, called Mr. Obama’s victory, which included her state, “a tremendous signal we sent.”

Both sides have scandals. And Sen. Larry Craig will never have a shot at being president. The scary thing is that the media is willing to overlook almost anything to get Obama elected. His shady connections with the Chicago political machine, his reverend, and a host of so many things. The media did not do their jobs and wanted to feel good about getting a sub-standard person elected justed because he was a young-looking and eloquent black man. His experience? His past? His friends? Nobody in the media gave a crap.

He wasn't seeking underage boys you freakin' idoit. He gave a signal to an undercover officer in the stall next to him. Get your facts straight. What? Now you're a gay-basher?

Nice press conference:

"Oh my gosh, look at him talk. We're so proud of him."
Does anyone else feel that the press is babying Obama? Isn't it also somewhat condescending? Why doesn't Obama tell them to treat him normally and why can't he answer questions without us feeling that he needs to be coached by his white handlers and white liberal media elites who act like they're training their new black puppy.

First comment: Sane people, please ignore TGFD. He's a twisted, confused nutcase. Among his many contradictions: he claims to be "happily married" for many long years and at the same time boasts of being a "chick magnet" for women of all ages, including underage girls.
Why am I not surprised that believes Obama is a secret believer in Islam?
Second comment: Do all of you who have made racist comments realize that you are completely out of step with the country and the times? What's cool about being a Neanderthal throwback? Do all of you have pictures of Barry Goldwater up in your monk-like bedrooms? How did you make the decision to despoil this site by making it the repository of your reactionary comments?

Time to stop being so insecure and reactive that you can't take a joke or are angered by everything. Race is a part of life. I'm not white, but I can still take a joke without labelling everyone as part of the KKK. I refuse to wear my race on my sleeve. And I reserve the right to be an equal-opportunity raciset, including a racist against my own race.

While Wall St. has gotten more limosine liberals in its ranks, it still remains a conservative place that is hostile to the non-profit NGO and altruistic thinking that is some other industries like 'green tech.'
Why the hell are the left leaning people who read DB so damn surprised about the conservative element on the street. The street has always been tilted toward the right, it has always been a little friendly to laise-faire and the Republican Party even though they donate to Democrats to protect their backs in case the douchbags win.

wall st. NY is not san francisco, ca. those of who actually work in finance know that. may be all the lefties reading DB need to leave and improve the quality of the DB audience. this site is most successful when it stays relevant and exclusive to those you actually are finance professionals not your dipshit liberal activists. pledge for the environment? no fu*king thank you. pro-business, pro-drilling, pro-lazy people not getting my hard-earned money, pro-tax cuts. a candidate who wants to raise capital gains is not someone that wall st. supports. obama was given money from bankers, because wall st. is capitalist and smart and knows that it is better to give money to a socialist if he is likely to win rather than pout and risk his scorn if the clown actually does become president.
sorry that you've been unpleasantly surprised that wall st. is a more right-leaning place, now please stop reading DB and go back to 'working for the environment' in your real day job in CA.

UNBELIEVABLE. Someone wake up the hippies posting on this board who have never worked in the securities or banking industry.
Wall St. = Capitalism
and
Capitalism does not equal the socialist, most liberal-leaning member of the senate that is now the 'spread-the-wealth' president.
Obviously, he would not have been president if the media actually had done its job and looked at his record and his friends, rather than just protecting their favorite affirmative action 'diversity' baby who represents a 'turning point' in 'race relations.' I don't want change if it is socialism that you're talking about. I'd like to keep my country capitalist, open to free trade and competitive, thank you very much.
And those crying about racism...get over it. Life is unfair, but opportunity is more fair today than at any other time in our country's history. Since Obama's president now...no more crying and no more excuses, time to actually start taking responsibility, rejecting the rap culture of crime and illiteracy, and making a living for yourselves.

Nice article:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/black_guy_asks_nation_for_change
"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."
The black guy is oddly comfortable demanding change from people he's never even met.
It is estimated that, to date, the black man has asked every single person in the United States for change.
"I've already seen this guy four times today," Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. "Every time, it's the same exact spiel. 'I need change.' 'I want change.' Why's he so eager for all this change? What's he going to do with it, anyway?"
