Ditto.

They could've put an eggplant in a suit and had tom hanks do the voice and it would've beat McCain.

Mortimer 11-04-2008 10:06 PM

I really thought McCain ,at least , did stand for an anti Bush image for the republicans.

Mike 11-04-2008 10:08 PM

DaHoss, aren't you afraid of the African-American community celebrating this victory tonight by rioting in the streets?;)

I know I'm bringing in my children's bikes, and all my rakes from the back of the house:eek:

It won't be safe out there tonight. I think I just heard a Colt .45 malt liquor bottle smash out in the street

I grew up in this town I live in and we didn't have a black kid in my high school graduation class back in 1981.

Now, we have a small segment of blacks, and I have to say....

Well, I won't say it. The young black men in town do a disservice to the reputation of African Americans. I'm not sure there are any local black, successful business people here

Don't make me get back to Obama not really being like most of the so-called African Americans in this country. I'll start sounding like a racist(again?) and figure I should move south of the northeastern U.S.


So called African American refers to them not crossing over from Africa in this generation. Should I call myself a European-American?

I just don't agree with the label

Eggplant in Italian...you know something Pants..

"In standard Italian the word for eggplant is melanzana, a word also used disparagingly to denote a black person, and in Italian-American slang derived from the southern dialects, the disparagement is often abbreviated to "mulie."

Melanzana i think is correct but the slang version among southern italians is Mulie. Just a little bit derogatory to a black person but im sure it wasnt intended that way.

Kasept 11-04-2008 10:36 PM

mulie would derive from "MULIANNE" (pronounced "mool-yan").

Coach Pants 11-04-2008 10:41 PM

Not offended at all. Im not black.

Note, don't listen to KGB on election notes. VIRGINIA goes DEMOCRAT

GPK 11-04-2008 11:01 PM

I don't totally agree with Bush being soley responsible for Reps. losing, although it played a big part. If some career Democrat Senator or other white bread polictian got the nomination and ran on the platform of "change", I feel sure most americans would have rolled their eyes and thought "here we go again" and dismissed it as more bullsh*t. But the fact he was young, half black and preached changed, people believed it.



As I type this, just announced Obama won Virginia.

I WAS WRONG:wf :wf :wf

Coach Pants 11-04-2008 11:02 PM

Obama is declared president
