Remember Mr. Obama is not part of what most folks equate to americans of african decent. He was born of a white american woman and a black Kenyon man. His family does not have any history of American slavery.

Doesn't matter, Obama is equal parts white and black. He is not the first black President, he's the first half-black, half-white President

I never thought I'd use a picture from Star Trek in any other way than to display how overrated it is, but the above post deserves it.

Lol, irony: Spock is half-Earthling, half-Vulcan, but how does everyone refer to him?

Brings back a fond, but weird, memory. Way back when I was watching the episode with the chemical that lets their basest desires rule them. Scotty is freaking out. Spock grabs him. Meanwhile I'm dozing off in front of the TV. I'm instantly snapped awake when I hear Scotty, with his thick accent, say...

"Keep yer Vulcan hands off me!"

WHAT did he just say on commercial television?

There was a DS9 episode that was censored in the UK because Chief O'Brien (played by Irish actor Colm Meaney) said a Queen's English curse word and the show aired at an hour where they could not use such language. The word was kept in the US version since most Americans wouldn't know what it meant...

Can you recall what he said?

Not to bring the thread back on topic, but really - no one finds it peculiar that over 90% of ANY broad demographic agrees on something? Really?

I've mentioned this statistic awhile back and I find it shocking - and somewhat racist. Yes, racist. Really, are we to ignore the common denominator because of the fact that it happens to relate to a minority which, in the past, has suffered egregious racial segregation and oppression?

The black community typically displays diverse, albeit liberal, political views. They have never (as far as I can tell) agreed upon any one agenda. All of a sudden they do?

Not likely. More likely, they see the skin color of the office holder and are rallying behind him. Like it or not, that is racist. It's is oppressive? No. Is it segregationist? No. But is it racist?

Absolutely.

So now the question becomes: Is racism always bad? If so, why are blacks given a pass?

Quote:

In one scene, after a piece of equipment in the background explodes, Chief O'Brien shouts "Bollocks"; this is an Irish and British expletive referring to the testicles. When the episode was first screened by the BBC in the United Kingdom, the word was removed, although strangely, when RTÉ screened the episode in Ireland, it was left on the soundtrack.
