Sorry I am not familiar w/ Fox News Video setup. How does it work b/c it won't play for me. Maybe I don't have the right player on my computer. Can you summarize what was said?

With Fox News and reliability, making that sort of statement does not surprise me.

Peace and love

 

sorry. here's the text and a link for verification:





I've heard many people say the United States is "not ready for a black president."

Poppycock.

The 11th president — James K. Polk — was black, as was Thomas Jefferson, who created the blueprint for what later became "The Jeffersons." The difference was back then we didn't see color. Today everything is about race.

When Hillary mentioned that LBJ had a role in ushering in civil rights laws, Obama's folks accused her of diminishing MLK. What does this mean? It means that while the U.S. is ready for another black president, it's not ready to talk openly to one.

A great leader needs to take his lumps. But as long as you have grievance groupies like Al Sharpton accusing squirrels and end tables of racism, then it's impossible.

There's nothing worse than being called a racist — it's worse than being called French. So rather than saying "Rock of Love" has more substance than Obama, reporters just smile. Terrified of interest groups, the press cowers behind softball questions and nervous brown-nosing.

And if you disagree with me, then you're a probably a racist and worse than Hitler.

OMG! Where do they get this stuff?

 

Umm.... I would like to think you mean they were black in a quasi-metaphorical sense. I could argue that Thomas Jefferson was by no way black in any sense, however. I've seen Thomas Jefferson's portrait by Charles Willson Peale hanging in the Second Bank of The United States, and he was not a black man.

 

Who the hell cares. And I'll never believe William Jefferson Clinton was the first black president

But he cares...what would happen if history finally saw him as what he truly was a democrat that rode on the backs of repulicans to financial responsibility while bonking a lower level employee in the oval office. He couldn't be bothered with reading the total NAFTA Document, he had more important things to engage in. But he was quick to bail Mexico out when their economy tanked. I guess Monica was occupied somewhere else at the time.

There's nothing wrong with being French, my grandfather was French, and without the French the US wouldn't have won the American Revolution. There is something wrong with being elected to the highest office in the US and lying and womanizing while on duty.

 

This is just an attempt to muddy the waters. And ask yourselves by whom? Billary wishes to make his wife the only viable candidate. And the republicans are probably supporting him.

There's nothing wrong with being black, a woman or French, the only problem I see is being a person that supported someone that did something wrong, and covered up for them.

 

I really doubt either Polk and Jefferson were black, they may have had liasons with blacks, but I would bet at the time they were elected...they weren't. Of course we all know the Jefferson line has black lineage today....nothing new there. Who even knows anything about Polk, wish his family would speak up, but my guess is they won't right now.

 

i posted this to show the kind of information that fox is broadcasting under the guise of "opinion". calling it opinion doesn't excuse that it is fiction. fuckin' fox.

 

doesn't being black (key words)"in America" have all to do with skin color and nothing about ethnicity/nationality.

shiiiieeeet, even in college (JJay, nyc) african-american studies we were taught that everyone with brown color ( all spanish, some south east asians, blacks, etc...) were considered black in America!!!!

thusssss, Jefferson was most definetly not black, I don't care how many black chicks he fucked!
