June 25, 2008Nader Says Obama "Trying To Talk White"Uh yeah, because Nader has always made addressing POC issues a priority..? There are numerous places where I wish Obama spoke louder (and leaned further left), but these communities Nader says Obama is neglecting are basically the same ones I've usually felt Nader was neglecting..

Not many people are still impressed by Nader. Nader's lost it. He used to stand for something and was a respected voice in politics. Now, he's just another crusty old has-been trying to stir things up since no one wants to see Nader in the election picture. Geezer lost my respect. Posted by: dumazz at June 28, 2008 12:46 PM ^ ^ He's right. But no self-respecting independent is even interested in him anymore. The Green Party is made up of 2 maybe 3 % of the indies. The Libertarians have more clout and when it comes down to it, the old fart has no media access unless its Hannity & Colmes poking fun at him. Posted by: Jay B at June 29, 2008 1:03 AM Hate to break up this Obama love-fest, but Nader is a giant and a legend as advocate for consumer rights. I'd take Nader over Obama 7 days a week and twice on sunday. Why? Because Nader spent his life fighting against corporations, something I'm not convinced Obama will ever do, you know with his love of 'free' markets and all. More importantly than that, everything he said about Obama was correct, and that woulda been clearer if he didn't use the 'talking white' phrase. I have yet to hear one substantive refutation of what Nader has said. Obama is a regular politician. Posted by: Kai at June 30, 2008 8:30 PM why do people alway's think about color. How the white people act black & how black people act white. where just people why does everyone have to see the color why cant they just see people Posted by: amber at July 2, 2008 2:45 AM why do people alway's think about color. How the white people act black & how black people act white. where just people why does everyone have to see the color why cant they just see people Posted by: amber at July 2, 2008 2:47 AM Well, he is right. Nader is, and has always been well informed on the issues affecting minorities and low-income families as a whole. He has also worked hard to make positive change for them. What he is saying is true. I also believe that it is in Obama's best interest not to talk too much about those issues well trying to get elected. Hopefully, he has these issues in mind and wants to do something about them, but speaking on them too much now will cause him to appear more Left than he wants to be perceived as and could cost him the election. For the moment, he needs to concentrate on issues that affect the middle-class more than anything, and that seems to be what his advisors are having him do. He has a smart team around him and could definitely take the White House.

If he can't do nothing for Blacks now, and Blacks think he is just pretending. They better think again. First of all Obama is mixed and Rich. His maternal mother owned slaves. He promised a Dream Act to illegals, while the White divorce rate is over 50% he choose to reprimand Black generational exploited people. Blacks are being duped, Obama is not play a game with whites, he is playing it with Blacks. Especially if they think he is gonna change once he get in their. He actually see Black votes as slave votes and they are because Blacks are foolish to at least not to demand educational choices and vouchers for Black children. Obama will neglect Blacks all through his Presidency. so this wait until he gets in their is foolish. The immature white people who feel as though he can only be President of all if he totally neglect Blacks. Nadar and Barr should be considered. All Americans should demand a Non Amnesty contract. or 200 million should vote for Nadar or Barr and not let money or media control this election. Obama is arrogant, he thinks all Blacks are slaves and stupid, except him and his Harvard trained wife. Blacks suffered 500 years, skipping over a mixed man who talk down to Black males as while not offering education opportunities for Black children, but he can give the hispanics the world, and offer them everything, even with their boarder babies draining the hospitals and schools. He was their second choice. Blacks need to make him answer, even if it cost the Democratic, Party, who are all crooks who need to be voted out anyway. All Blacks should register independent to let the Democratic Party know, for once Black children will be thought about, even if they put a mixed man to pacify Blacks and America in a Corporate driven election. Blacks your votes, deserve way more then Obama talking down while offering,all other communities plans and promises for their children and futures.
