Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / February 2008Blacks don't worry about Obama's safety...
Blacks don't worry about Obama's safety, but the media has told them that they do. That has to be one of the most silly stories lately. As if a people somehow have a personal relationship with a political leader, enough to "worry" about them. I hope that no President is ever assasinated, but that story just made me laugh. As soon as it was posted, you saw the boards light up with "We are worried about Obama" posts. This is just more proof that the media encourages everyone to feel a certain way... creating a market for stories that they can sell... > Blacks don't worry about Obama's safety, but the media has told them that > they do.

Spend an hour browsing messages in talk.politics.guns, and then tell me if you think there might be a reason for a black candidate to at least we wearing a kevlar vest, and maybe carrying a sidearm and several extra magazines on his belt. There are some crazy fuckin' people in this country. > Spend an hour browsing messages in talk.politics.guns, and then tell me if > you think there might be a reason for a black candidate to at least we > wearing a kevlar vest, and maybe carrying a sidearm and several extra > magazines on his belt. I think every President has a reason to wear a vest in public. There is always an equal opportunity for psychos to try and take out a Candidate. How long do you think muslim fanatics have been hoping for a shot at the current President? With that said, I don't worry about any Presidents safety. I don't have the time and more so do not have a personal relationship with them. Murdering them would only make them martyrs... Most of the time, the real people they worry about are the psychotic ones. The ones like those who kill for fame. > There are some crazy fuckin' people in this country. In any country. Which is exactly my point. This media story was a non story. It is nothing we have not known about famous people and politicians for quite some time. > Blacks don't worry about Obama's safety, but the media has told them that > they do.

I believe you with the not worrying about Obama, but how can you be certain your dad is 100%? Slaves were cattle, with no identity, so their masters could do whatever they wanted, and they did. I know I'm not 100%, since my skin is way too light to be 100% African (my mother is what is known as "high yellow", herself).

Maybe I misunderstood you - maybe you meant your > father was mostly African, as are most blacks in the U.S.? Yet we're all 100% under the skin. And the ancestors of all us were in Africa about 50,000 years ago. So, the division into black and white is not all that important. I think the term "African American" is silly. And why do you call someone from Kenya (like Obama's father; Stanly Obama was white)? African African? And why is Obama considered black when his Stanley Obama was white?

The average black American is about 30% non-African, and just 10% of them have only African genetics.

During one Obama rally in Dallas the Secret Service dismantled the metal detectors one hour before Obama arrived. They allowed people to enter the rally for over an hour without being checked for weapons. The Dallas police complained but the Secret Service just ignored them. Doesn't sound like Obama is being protected too well. Ed S. >During one Obama rally in Dallas the Secret Service dismantled the >metal detectors one hour before Obama arrived.

Ironically the "blacks worry about obama story" came out hours after Drudge posted that on his site. The SS had been letting people into the Obama ralley for 2 hours. all of the bottom teir and most of the top teir was full. That means someone who have had to hit Obama from at least 100 yards away with a hand gun... Again, another non story. If someone wanted to do this well enough and was a good shot then they would not try to sneak in to an arena with a gun. If they had planned to then they would have tried to get close...

I bet Hillary's and McCain's security details are not that lax. How about somebody with an automatic weapon with no stock, with a screw-on 18" - 24" barrel and a nice big clip? Spray the stage with a 100 or so 9mm slugs and somebody might hit something.

Spray the stage with a 100 or so 9mm slugs and > somebody might hit something. You'd be surprised just how little is hit when using full-auto beyond 25 yards. A 100 round "clip" (should be "magazine") is pretty bulky no matter the caliber, so isn't going to make the weapon that concealable. Pros seldom use full-auto unless at very close range. It just isn't that easy to control muzzle climb. Trust me. > And don't count on it being an amateur.

Trust me. So I guess firing an auto weapon (doesn't have to be full auto) held sideways with one hand steadying the barrel which is now being recoiled to the right or left is unheard of in your militia? And with all the lunatics passing through Blackwater we have a dirth of trained shooters roaming the streets of America? >> A 100 round "clip" (should be "magazine") > > Well, Excuuuse mee. ;-) No problem.

What professional has ever tried to kill a US president or presidential candidate in the US? .I think they've all been amateurs, although professionals would have probably carried out the assassination of FDR if the Business Plot (many rich families were behind it, including some DuPonts and Bushes) hadn't been foiled.

Personally, I'm more worried about my children's safety, with all the random shootings in this country. I don't believe Obama is in any more danger than any other politician.

Espy So you're saying he's doomed because he represents breaking up the old boy network? That seems far-fetched to me. The Kennedys had already ruffled feathers long before JFK and & RFK were in office. MLK was fighting a tide in a country that had barely begun to recognize civil rights for all Americans. They were in an entirely different time, different situations. Obama wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell of winning, had he lived during that time.

Why would anybody think that? Why do some people seem to think "Corporations" are generally bad? Such thinking makes no sense. Incorporating is what makes it possible for a company to grow, generally buy issuing stock, bought mostly by insurance companies, trusts, pension plans, and individuals who "own" the Corporation. Were we better off when only the "rich" owned big companies? Did we forget the "Robber Barons" of old? Henry Ford realized if people were going to be able to purchase his cars they need money. That is why he started his "Five dollar day" to raise the wag standard for all Americans. More importantly today Corporations employ more people at higher wages than the average small business they sell to and employ people of all races. Why would they want to hold down the customer's ability to obtain wealth? Jackie Robinson proved that whites would pay money to see a good "performer" albeit an athlete, actor, musician etc. Where would our black performer be if whites and corporations did not purchase their services? We hear politicians so often telling us they will not bow to the "special Interests." Which "special interest?" Your employer or your Union, Move On, Green Peace, NBC or Fox, GM or a foreign corporation, the environuts of those that want reasonable environmental laws that do not force your employer off shore or out of business? Those that want you to pay the "costs" of your special interest or somebody else's? If so may white Americans are willing to "employ" a black man as their President can NASCAR be far behind?

Corporations are owned by stockholders. They are responsible first to their stockholders, not their costumers. Look at the way drug companies give gifts to doctors, so they will prescribe their drugs. And the way drug companies don't release negative clinical studies or negative information about their drugs that could help patients and doctors make better decisions. There is a good reason why drug companies and insurance companies are almost always for-profit companies and not non-profit organizations: so they can make money for their stockholders. Look at the way companies blow off mountain tops in West Virgina to get at the coal. They aren't doing it this way because it is good for the environment! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6462-2004Aug16.html (And please don't tell us that coal is found only in the valleys. That may be true in Eastern PA, but the geology is different in WV and other places where they do mountaintop mining.) > Were we better off when only the "rich" owned big companies? The rich own most of the companies. The richest 1% of the people own about 1/3 of the wealth of this country. The poorest 50% of the country own 3% of the wealth of this country. > Did we forget > the "Robber Barons" of old? Henry Ford realized if people were going to be > able to purchase his cars they need money. That is why he started his "Five > dollar day" to raise the wag standard for all Americans. From wikipedia: "Ford astonished the world in 1914 by offering a $5 per day wage, which more than doubled the rate of most of his workers. The move proved extremely profitable; instead of constant turnover of employees, the best mechanics in Detroit flocked to Ford, bringing in their human capital and expertise, raising productivity, and lowering training costs. Ford called it "wage motive." The company's use of vertical integration also proved successful when Ford built a gigantic factory that shipped in raw materials and shipped out finished automobiles." Ford didn't increase the wage to increase the income of Americans. He did it because he thought it would decrease worker turnover. Decreasing worker turnover improves profitability. http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17451_18670_18793-53441--,00.html > More importantly > today Corporations employ more people at higher wages than the average small > business they sell to and employ people of all races.

Gee, that's why Wal-Mart pays it workers $100 per hour, and pays its suppliers twice the going rate for their goods and services. That's why US companies never outsource call centers and software engineering jobs to India, too. ;-) > Jackie Robinson proved that whites would pay money to see a good "performer" > albeit an athlete, actor, musician etc. Actually, the Harlem Globe Trotters did that before Robinson. Although they are original from the midwest, they called themselves the Harlem Globe Trotters so people would know that their local team would be playing a black team. > Where would our black performer be > if whites and corporations did not purchase their services? McDonalds? Unfortunately, most famous black people are athletes or other performers. Most black kids won't go on to become professional athletes. Maybe one in 10,000 will. That means of the 600,000 black kids in NYC schools today, only 60 or so will become black athletes. There are some good role models in science, like Ben Carson, who was the youngest ever division chief at Johns Hopkins (pediatric neurosurgery) and Erich Jarvis of Duke university (brain research), but not enough. When I used to go to national science meetings, I noticed that the rooms were awfully white. > We hear politicians so often telling us they will not bow to the "special > Interests."

Protecting the land the gives us oxygen and food does not make one a nut. > If so may white Americans are willing to "employ" a black man as their > President can NASCAR be far behind? LOL NASCAR has Bill Lester in the truck series. However, the France family, which controls NASCAR is white, as is Mike Helton, the president of NASCAR. Unfortunately, there are not many senior executives in large companies that are minorities or females. In addition, in science and engineering, there are relatively few blacks, as well. When Minnie Lee Jones was growing up, it never occurred to her that she can become a female black doctor because she had never heard of one (it never occurred to me that I could become a female black doctor either, but that's because I am not female or black). She became the first black Surgeon General.

We know you like to pick a part of every post with which you can argue but do you actually believe everything you read on the web? Are you really that slow?

You might want to check the selling price of the model "T" over the years By the way employing the best of the best tech from all around the area, at higher wages than anybody else, was how I went for from two Fleet Service shops, when I started the business, to twenty six in six eastern states when sold it twelve years later. That's why I like good unions. They set work standards that provided me with the best most productive worker I ever employed. When the techs in our Pennsylvania shop voted to join the Machinists Union, my partner wanted out, thinking we would go broke. I had to buy him out and became sole owner. After I took over, I offered my shop in Delaware to the Union. LOL . >> Why would anybody think that? Why do some people seem to think >> "Corporations" are generally bad?

Of course I don't believe I read on the web. For example, I believe very little of your posts. ;-) I use other sources besides the web, like books and Science magazine. And I take media like the NY Times, NPR and Fox news with a grain of salt. They all have their own agendas. As far as Ford's paying workers a relatively high wage, I didn't mean to imply that this was the only reason why his company was more profitable by any means. Only that by increasing his employees wages, the employees were more productive, because turnover went way down. perhaps, I should have said increase productivity instead increase profitability. Sorry if I was confusing. Jeff Apologies are not necessary. I have bantered back and forth enough times to have realize a long time ago that you are often easily confused, when you choose to comment on some subjects ;) >> The profits increased because that giant Ford, totally integrated plant >> that made the steel, glass and all of the parts as well as the cars, is >> what made it possible for Ford to meet the ever growing demand for the >> cars he was beginning to sell at ever declining retail prices...
