To them, a black is always a black.

to modify a phrase: barack obama makes bryant gumbel look like malcolm x.

I don't know who Bryant Gumbel is.

(Quick consultation of Wikipedia)

Now I do. I don't get how Obama makes Gumbel look like Malcolm X, though.

it's a phrase from the chapelle show originally used in the context of talking about wayne brady implying that he's so overly safe that older white people like him despite that he's black. similarly, obama, while black in reference to his race, is anything but black when it comes to how he presents himself culturally or how he addresses issues.

Actually, the manji in modern day speech would refer to the Hindu-esque form, whereas the swastika is commonly used by the Nazis is rotated vs. the traditional version.

Ah, a bit like how OJ Simpson lives his life, even though he plays the race card at his trials.

Strange isn't it? Considering that Swastika is a Sanskrit word.

Come on now, I don’t know much about American politics, but anything could be possible. They could get sick of George Bush wasting money in foreign wars. Here in England loads of working class Brits are voting Tory because the are disheartened by new Labour. Though personally Labour has done much better then they would have if they remained loony left under Neil Kinnock.

The Klan is a little less rational than the disenchanted working class.

You should send the Klan a hand of friendship and tell them why supporting Obama is best for America. Make sure to mention you're black a couple of times throughout. For example: "As a black man..." Make sure to create a fake email account under the name "Blackmanforchange"

I will gladly wait for a reply.

Just joking; however, not every blackman know who the Ku Klux Klan are. Just the other day a car with KKK in the registration was driving up the road. Two African girls was in it. Africans are alway out for a a bargain, now they are going to get what they haven't bargained for.

Even if they don't, white 'nationalists' do. Swing by Stormfront's website sometime. They have a map somewhere describing all the countries from which their members spew their garbage.

I've visited Stormfront countless of times and their beliefs are as crazy as afrocentrists when it comes to history. Aryans (note that Aryan always means Nordic) came and settled into Egypt? An Aryan taught the mesoamericans how to build the Pyramids? Whaaaaaat?

They have one even here in Australia, I'm ashamed to say. I think the One Nation party was said to be affiliated with them at some point.
