Newsweek article published on the magazine's Web Site Sunday said registration records show the McCains currently own 13 cars — two of which are foreign-made: a Honda and a Volkswagen. That appears to contradict the Republican presidential nominee's past statements he only buys cars made in America. (Cindy McCain also drives a Lexus and daughter Meghan owns a Toyota Prius, but neither are registered to the McCains.)

 

Newsweek also reported Barack Obama owns one car: a Ford Escape Hybrid.

White Privilege

 

 

 

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen

like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your

life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that

no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because

'every family has challenges,' even as black and

Latino families with similar 'challenges' are

regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and

arbiters of social decay.

 

White privilege is when you can call yourself a

'fu***n' redneck,' like Bristol Palin's

boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with

you, you'll 'kick their fu**n' ass,' and

talk about how you like to 'shoot shit' for fun, and

still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a

great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

 

White privilege is when you can attend four different

colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you

basically failed out of, then returned to after making up

some coursework at a community college), and no one

questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement,

whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as

unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in

the first place because of affirmative action.

 

White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a

town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then

Governor of a state with about the same number of people as

the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready

to potentially be president, and people don't all piss

on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S.

Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law

scholar, means you're 'untested’.

White privilege is being able to say that you support the

words 'under God' in the pledge of allegiance

because 'if it was good enough for the founding fathers,

it's good enough for me,' and not be immediately

disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the

pledge was written in the late 1800s and the 'under

God' part wasn't added until the 1950s--while

believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists

their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you

used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a

dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.

 

White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and

not make people immediately scared of you.

White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an

extremist political party that wants your state to secede

from the Union, and whose motto was 'Alaska first,'

and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family,

while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to

come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on

the first day of school, people immediately think she's

being disrespectful.

 

White privilege is being able to make fun of community

organizers and the work they do--like, among other things,

fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights,

or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people

think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely

question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month

governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she

took in college--you're somehow being mean, or even

sexist.

 

White privilege is being able to convince white women who

don't even agree with you on any substantive issue to

vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a

sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence

in these same white women, and made them give your party a

'second look.

'

White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't

support your political campaigns and not be accused of

abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages

in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some

folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means

you must be corrupt.

 

White privilege is being able to attend churches over the

years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry

or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and

that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job

of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles

into government, and who bring in speakers who say the

conflict in the Middle East is God's punishment on Jews

for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you're

just a good church-going Christian, but if you're black

and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin

Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist

attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who

talks about the history of racism and its effect on black

people, you're an extremist who probably hates America.

 

White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is

when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the

reporter for asking you such a 'trick question,'

while being black and merely refusing to give one-word

answers to the queries of Bill O'Reilly means you're

dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual

and nuanced.

 

White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a

POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for

president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as

Sarah Palin has referred to it a 'light' burden.

 

And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could

possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted

with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as

unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes,

inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated

from world opinion, just because white voters aren't

> sure about that whole 'change' thing.

Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four

more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain.

 

White privilege is, in short, the problem.

'fu***n' redneck,' like Bristol Palin's

boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with

you, you'll 'kick their fu**n' ass,' and

talk about how you like to 'shoot shit' for fun, and

still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a

great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

 

White privilege is when you can attend four different

colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you

basically failed out of, then returned to after making up

some coursework at a community college), and no one

questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement,

whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as

unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in

the first place because of affirmative action.

 

White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a

town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then

Governor of a state with about the same number of people as

the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready

to potentially be president, and people don't all piss

on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S.

Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law

scholar, means you're 'untested’.

White privilege is being able to say that you support the

words 'under God' in the pledge of allegiance

because 'if it was good enough for the founding fathers,

it's good enough for me,' and not be immediately

disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the

pledge was written in the late 1800s and the 'under

God' part wasn't added until the 1950s--while

believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists

their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you

used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a

dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.

 

White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and

not make people immediately scared of you.

White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an

extremist political party that wants your state to secede

from the Union, and whose motto was 'Alaska first,'

and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family,

while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to

come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on

the first day of school, people immediately think she's

being disrespectful.

 

White privilege is being able to make fun of community

organizers and the work they do--like, among other things,

fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights,

or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people

think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely

question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month

governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she

took in college--you're somehow being mean, or even

sexist.

 

White privilege is being able to convince white women who

don't even agree with you on any substantive issue to

vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a

sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence

in these same white women, and made them give your party a

'second look.

'

White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't

support your political campaigns and not be accused of

abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages

in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some

folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means

you must be corrupt.

 

White privilege is being able to attend churches over the

years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry

or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and

that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job

of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles

into government, and who bring in speakers who say the

conflict in the Middle East is God's punishment on Jews

for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you're

just a good church-going Christian, but if you're black

and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin

Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist

attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who

talks about the history of racism and its effect on black

people, you're an extremist who probably hates America.

 

White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is

when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the

reporter for asking you such a 'trick question,'

while being black and merely refusing to give one-word

answers to the queries of Bill O'Reilly means you're

dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual

and nuanced.

 

White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a

POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for

president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as

Sarah Palin has referred to it a 'light' burden.

 

And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could

possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted

with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as

unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes,

inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated

from world opinion, just because white voters aren't

> sure about that whole 'change' thing.

Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four

more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain.

 

White privilege is, in short, the problem.

 

Here is my answer to that....................and P.S. This was said by a BLACK man.................Mr. Bill Cosby

 

They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain’t, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be… And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.

 

Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

 

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we’ve got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won’t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

 

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn’t know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?

 

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn’t that a sign of something gone wrong? People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn’t that a sign of something? Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?

 

What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

 

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now. We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs. We as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

 

We cannot blame the white people any longer.

When I post this topic i didnt want race to be involved at all. Support the guy who support you. Amazing, all these folks here who want to vote for McCain now know he doesnt buy ford cars or trucks and brags on honda and toyota and you still want to vote for this guy? Go ahead and cut your own throat and be dumb. The other guy owns a ford and you say f-ck him im not going to support him but yet he supports you. People, Obama is more like the middle class than McCain. Obama has 1 car and a house, McCain has 13 cars and 7 to 9 houses. Does anyone here has that many cars and house? If so then why are you working at ford? Maybe race does play a huge factor in this election dont forget Obama is half white, raise by his white grandparents. Once again supports the guys who supports you

The only reason he bought that ford is probably because they gave him A-plan not cause he gives a s--t about us.

Anyone on this site who is supposed to be an Employee whether Hourly or Salary must look at what each candidate will do.

 

McCain

Will continue to endorse and give tax breaks to Companies who ship our jobs overseas.

Will continue to be a good ole boy and give tax breaks to the rich (over $250,000 per year salary).

Will continue the war with Iraq until we find those Nukes.

Will not increase aid to our returning and injured soldiers

Will not increase troops in Afghanistan where the real terrorist plan attacks.

Will continue to let illegal’s take our jobs and undermine the legal working class.

Will expand worker visas to continue to drive down American wages

Will continue to fight increases in minimum wage.

Will continue to give huge tax subsidies to oil companies.

Will continue to defend oil companies.

WILL SIGN THE SOUTH KOREAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Good bye big three autoworkers).

Will continue to try and get rid of social security.

Will continue to pander to insurance and pharmaceutical companies and ignore cries for national health care

Will continue Bush’s agenda and get rid of overtime.

Will continue to ignore the federal budget deficit which is around 3 trillion now!

Will continue to ignore useful data like the ever increasing trade deficit.

 

 

Obama

Will not raise taxes if you make fewer than 250,000 per year.

Will fix Nafta

Will veto the South Korean free trade agreement (US autoworkers jobs saved)

Will increase aid to our returning troops.

Will cut worker visas in half

Will continue to get all minimum wage Americans to a real living wage

Cut tax breaks and oil subsidies to oil companies

Will embrace and fix social security

Will have an exit strategy and pull out of Iraq

NATIONAL HEALTH CARE (easy to fund, just as easy to fund as a 2.5 trillion dollar war)

Does not choke on the word "Union" or "collective bargaining"

Will not even discuss taking away our overtime.

Make a fair playing field on trade and this will fix our trade deficit.

Stop our jobs from going overseas which will fix our federal budget.

 

It makes me laugh inside when I read these forums and everyone complains about concessions and give aways when all you have to do is look at your President and wonder why the US auto companies are hurting. The company and unions can not compete with Chinese, Mexican and South Korean wages. The Republicans don't give a s#@t about working people. Elect another Republican and watch this contry go into a deep ressesion.

 

Dont even talk about guns, abortion or gays..............Those issues hide what the Republicans really want and that is to keep you uneducated on the real issues stated above.

 

God bless OBAMA.............

 

 

You see it is simple as stated above...

Dont even talk about guns, abortion or gays..............Those issues hide what the Republicans really want and that is to keep you uneducated on the real issues stated above.

 

Now the issue turned to race............We are quick to be lured away by "non issues" that divide us. It is all part of the Republican agenda. Stick to the issues and the choice is clear, Obama has our best interests hands down.

[Raws41900]

Obama

Will not raise taxes if you make fewer than 250,000 per year. believe it when i see it

 

Will fix Nafta. again, believe it when i see it.

 

Will continue to get all minimum wage Americans to a real living wage - how is that going to effect everyone? besides making the price of things go up to pay for the higher wages.

 

Cut tax breaks and oil subsidies to oil companies - again i see the costs being pushed on the consumer

 

Will embrace and fix social security - believe it when i see it.

 

Will have an exit strategy and pull out of Iraq - will have? doesnt yet?

 

NATIONAL HEALTH CARE (easy to fund, just as easy to fund as a 2.5 trillion dollar war) - stupid idea.. ask people in canada or any other country with national health care.. the service blows, heart surgery? yeah we'll get back to you in a couple months..

 

Will not even discuss taking away our overtime. - ?

 

Make a fair playing field on trade and this will fix our trade deficit. - again believe that when i see it.

 

Stop our jobs from going overseas which will fix our federal budget. - see above

 

 

 

i'm not trying to bash obama but you guys make it sound like he is our savior.. and he's going to fix everything within 4-8 years.

anyone can talk a good talk.. havent you guys been around during local elections at the plant?

[OMG]

T 30 my apologies i thought you had meant Bill Cosby had wrote the white privilege, and I'm glad you posted that i read it but never knew Cosby had said that I've never been much of a Cosby fan cause i always thought he was a little racial.

 

and now back on subject i will support the one that supports us, sorry McCain does not have are best interest.

[4rd4life]

Obama

Will not raise taxes if you make fewer than 250,000 per year. believe it when i see it

 

Will fix Nafta. again, believe it when i see it.

Your wright to a point all politician's run on promises including McCain, but as everyones favorite Republican Ronald Reagan said are you better off today than you were four years ago, and we all know what the last eight have been like and if McCain is so much different than the rest of them in D.C. how come there trying so hard to get him elected why didn't they push harder for one of the others in the primaries maybe because most were lame ducks.

 

and I'm not trying to bash McCain but the the man I once knew and admired, is no longer the man that use to go against party rules now he just agrees with them and follows suit.

 

and as far as what you say, believe it when i see it, you'll never know if he's never elected

[Texas30]

T 30 my apologies i thought you had meant Bill Cosby had wrote the white privilege, and I'm glad you posted that i read it but never knew Cosby had said that I've never been much of a Cosby fan cause i always thought he was a little racial.

 

and now back on subject i will support the one that supports us, sorry McCain does not have are best interest.

 

 

No problem OMG and let me say thanks, that goes along way with me.

 

I have said this to many people (i've said it on here) there are a number of factors when it comes to Nobama which are important enough for me to say there is no way, no how, I would ever vote for him. Now that being said, does that make me a big McCain fan? Plain and simple.......No

 

Sorry we got our wires crossed but hey, its politics we're talking about.......lol

Wow what a load of sh-- !! Replies like yours only prove we should pay teachers more.

If we made better cars and better decisions we would not be in the shape we are

currently in. if you believe the down fall of the big 3 has anything to do with decisions

made in our goverment what a small world you live in. First of all I don't like either pinheads

running put my faith into a guy who has done nothing as a senator. How dare him stand on

a stage and pretend he even could relate to Martin luther King That was a leader!!!!

And regards to the old man thats more of the same we currently have in office now.

So back to the point your going to vote for a guy who drives a Ford escape you don't

think his PR people set that up? to gain votes from the blue collar workers . What did he

drive before his escape? Also didn't alan our fearless leader have a lexus on order before he

was hired by us? I say God Bless America and fuck the 2 jackasses running regardless who gets

in we are all screwed!

[rogerrabbit]

Newsweek article published on the magazine's Web Site Sunday said registration records show the McCains currently own 13 cars — two of which are foreign-made: a Honda and a Volkswagen. That appears to contradict the Republican presidential nominee's past statements he only buys cars made in America. (Cindy McCain also drives a Lexus and daughter Meghan owns a Toyota Prius, but neither are registered to the McCains.)

 

Newsweek also reported Barack Obama owns one car: a Ford Escape Hybrid.

 

Now go ahead vote for the guy who doesnt even buy ford who could care less about your

 

How many of your neighbors own a foreign car ,because americas are stupid you never see a japenese driving a american can ,because they are loyal to their counrtry!

Did I miss something here, or is this not a free country people can drive what ever the hell kind of car they want.
