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? LOL

Hey...I'm just watching the show, like a sports commentator.

She gave you THE LOOK, and you can't even see her. But it worked.

If you're going to be insulting, we don't have to talk at all.

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.

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.

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...
