I got an email this afternoon telling me about this new Obama campaign tactic.
How is this ok in America today?
How is this not racist? What do you supposed would happen if Romney announced a “White Americans for Romney”?
He’d be crucified yet it’s perfectly acceptable for Obama?
Please explain to me why this is ok for a black president but no white in this country could ever do this?

...and today Whitey keeps a live-in nanny/housekeeper, after deducting food, rent, etc they pay her $100/week.

with the age of majority set at 21, and liquor stores/bars carding everyone very strictly, kids opt for inebriations like weed, ecstasy or coke. This trade isn't dominated by coloured folks. It's the genuine American dream!
