Welcome back Ragtime! :D We've missed you.

While you're here, I'd like to apologize for my behavior towards you before. It was immature and uncalled for.

Your video isn't displaying in my web browser right now, so I'll try again later.

Video finally showed up. He had some decent points, but at other times overgeneralized and used a few straw men. Also, I started to get a bit more skeptical when he started to talk about the massive liberal conspiracy to indoctrinate children in our public schools. :roll:

Welcome back, but the two minutes I spent watching that video were a waste of time . . . y'all.

I don't usually watch computer videos either, but since this is the return of Ragtime I gave it a chance.

At first, I thought that he was going to give us a reason to vote for Mc Cain as opposed to against Obama - silly me. Was there a point to that other than that is a black guy that is going to vote aganist Obama too?

Welcome back, ultra conservative brother in humanity.

You have returned on the day I've considered leaving. How nice. :)

There were probably about 30 points which were, I thought, very effectively presented in the video.

But as to the only one you noticed: Too often, there seems to be a sense, or "unspoken rule" if you will, that minorities are plain and simply Democrats, or at least that they "should be". I just like that the video blasts that very prevalent and widely-accepted prejudicial stereotype. He mentioned the "Uncle Tom" allegation that is often used by blacks to shame other blacks who agree with whites, for instance.

So, what do y'all (I say that as a native Texan) think: Should minorities vote a certain way? Are they wrong to vote Republican? I don't think so. I think everyone should take the time to think out the issues dealt with in each candidate's set of proposals. I don't believe people should be pigeon-holed into pre-determined thought-groups based on their race.

Return of the Rag topic

Good to read you again. My computer, ancient as it is, does not support youtubular movements, no matter what the stripe. All I can see is a young African American wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the outline of a man's head.

The brother in the video has a right to his opinion. I hope he solves his dilemma in the most constructive way possible.

Time for a reality check .... Can someone explain to me how Sesame Street is a liberal show? Maybe Grand Master VJ was confusing the "letter L" with "The L Word"??

Was it because Letter Man didn't have an American Flag lapel pin? Because Maria was Hispanic? Because kids were taught to consider other people's feelings? Or because One-Of-These-Things is Not-Like-The-Other: {Dog | Big Dog | Cat | Fuzzy Dog} ??
