Sen. Barack Obama doesn’t know his black sitcoms. Clearly he wasn’t exposed enough to his black roots while growing up white in Hawaii.
Obama was in Raleigh, N.C. stumping for votes, when he made this gaffe:
“If Senator McCain is elected, we’ll have another president who wants to privatize part of your Social Security. Could you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks, these last two months? You wouldn’t need Social Security. You’d be having a — like, what was it, Sanford and Son. I’m coming Weezie!” (Source)
Weezie was the wife of George on “The Jeffersons”. How embarrassing. A brotha would have known that.
YOU BORED 2 DAYS IN A ROW???
hahaha..i BET you Michelle would have known that!
He’s black enough for me to claim his ass. THANKS!
Why does it matter that he’s not black enough? What should matter to you is if he is qualified enough!
He is black enough for me. With all he has going on I am surprised he knows what day it is.
SANDRA – WHY DONT YOU POST THE VIDEO OF T.I. CALLING TINY HIS “SITUATION” ON THE CHELESA(SP) LATELY SHOW.
NOW THATS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT!
THE YOU TUBE CLIP IS QUITE FUNNY!!!
OMG, ARE YOU F*CKEN SERIOUS SANDRA??? GTFOH!!! IM DONE WITH POLITICAL SH!T ON THIS SITE BC THIS IS JUST PURE NONSENCE AND STEREOTYPICAL OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY. IM DONE WITH SANDRA AND HER POLICTAL AGENDA!!!

Just one week. Hold out for one more week. We almost there.
it was still cute as hell…LOL who care if he didn’t know, we get the idea. Obama, Sandford his son, and Weezie (Elizabeth) is alright with me lmao!!
It is very ignorant to say someone is not “black enough”.
He is a person, educated, and black. I don’t see why we should judge him on such terms as a show or any other thing that stereotypes and labels us as black.
That’s really stupid to do such. That is disease and a problem of our minds.
Ignorance is killing our people.
I know sandra wants traffic on her site, but integrity and class something she’s willing to lose for the price of more traffic. OBVIOUSLY!
Sandra do you realize that your blog alone, makes people want to hate McCain, and vote for Obama. Who knows that may be you hidden agenda :D…if its not, it should be.
*your*
Yes, Obama is indeed black enough for me also. Sandra, you comment about him not being familiar with characters from old black sitcoms. Hell, why would this be important? What did these stupid programs ever do for us anyway except put us in a box that stereotyped us for years, for decades even! Obama is about to make history, period. (I hope and pray) Besides, anybody is better than McSame and the woman with the oh-so irritating voice, you know, Pitbull Palin. (Mark my words, she’ll win this race in 2012, white folks just love her panties!) Peace.

You really think if Obama wins, Miss Sandra is gonna stop there? I beg to differ…
IVE BEEN TO HAWAII AND ITS NOT ALL WHITE. ITS ACTUALLY A WHOLE NOTHA CULTURE OVER THERE. JAPAN IS CLOSER TO HAWAII THAN TENNESSEE WHERE I AM SO THERE ARE WAY MORE ASIANS THAN WHITE PEOPLE THERE.
SO WHAT HE FORGOT! LETS STOP THE MAGNIFYING GLASS TREATMENT ON EVERYTHING HE SAYS.
I AM BLACK AND WHEN I HEAR THOSE GOVERNMENT CHEESE JOKES I CAN NOT RELATE BECAUSE I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THAT. ALL THOSE BLACK SHOWS… I DID NOT GROW UP WATCHING THEM EVERY DAY AFETR SCHOOL EITHER
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE A REPUBLICAN, VOTE DEMOCRAT!!
I CANT WAIT TO LOG ON NEXT WEEK AROUND 10ISH AND SAY
I TOLD YOU SO!!!
NA NA NA NA NA!
p.s.
I mess up on the characters of black sitcoms all the time.. even the newer ones. Hell… I can barely keep my kids names straight. ( for seriously)
I know Sandra makes stupid Obama posts, y’all are taking this one way to seriously.
Sandra you and the rest of your fellow racist cracker ass McCain supporting imbecile inbred muthafucka’s may as well get ready cause me and all the rest of the hood as well as upstanding democrats have already put Mr. Barack Obama in office!
Obama 08 beyaches!
I guess his grandparents wasn’t thinking about exposing him to his black roots, they probably was just thinking about raising their grandson. But from what I can see they did a damn good job.
Amulet I agree with you.
BARACK OBAMA ISNT BLACK HE IS HALF WHITE AND 100% UNCLE TOM Its amazing how dumb most people are
I wouldn’t blame that on him not being black enough…….
1. AGE……….My momma would forget me and my sister names all the time…….
2. He is running for Prez…..that’s enough pressure to bust a pipe…
3. You got skinheads that want to kill you……
oh wow Chuck… On a Wednesday?
Maybe instead of watching tv growing up, he was in a book? That’s the problem today, kids know every name of every person on sitcoms, cartoons, know all the songs to their parent’s favorite artist, but can’t read, write, or count.
THIS WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY. JUST BE GLAD TO BE A PART OF IT AND HOPEFUL TO LIVE TO TELL YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WHAT HAPPENED ELECTION YEAR 2008
IF YOU ARE HALF BLACK AND HALF SOMETHING ELSE WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS DOMINATE THE BLACK PART AND SAY YOU ARE BLACK?
I don’t care if he said Estelle,Gina,Weezie,Florida(Good Times!LOL) As long he knows the difference between um, say for instance, I don’t know, England,Isreal,Iran,Iraq,Syria, or maybe Cuba,Venezuela,Boliva, stuff like that, I DONT CARE! LOL
lol.. I didnt watch The Jeffersons or Sanford & Sons growing up….hmmm.. I should call my mom and see if that made me not black enough…oh wait….I did watch In Living Color….oh wait… I saw roots for the first time three months ago..am I black enough? Hilarious…
This is another reason we need to go vote early!

I just heard this on Mike Baiston. I knew when he hesitated he was not going to remember “Elizabeth”.
His grandparents were more concerned with raising a very intelligent young man, and IVY league school grad and the future president of this screwed up country!
Does it always have to come down to race?
Beyonce…Barack…
I think YOU have a problem with YOUR skin! Do you wish you were white or lightskinned?

—————————————-
Charles, I guess you would rather see someone like Snoop Dog run for president. Is that black enough for you?
Are would you prefer a black man that stands on the corner and talks the talk and never walks the walk.
Does your primitive mind only see Nigger?
Do you see blacks being more than 3/5 a man? Do you want to? Cause you sound confused.
I believe we can be better, and our men can be educated. Not only that, white parents or not he was well-raised, and I wish more of us were raised confidently and properly. It can be done, we don’t stereotype ourselves as to what black is suppose to be.
@sandra your post on obama are to stir up some BULL**** each and every time. GTFOH! hate on it boo … Obama 08!
A sitcom or music choice does not impact/affect or remotely define your culture or heritage. Try again Sandra …
@ Barbie … of course she sisn’t going to post about Ti’s situation … lmao, but I will go check it out on you tube when I get home,
@ ursmyle4me – I didn’t watch either show either …
and yeah fam … just chekcing in … YT all over the palce today …

A very valuable point.
Charles you know what, Obama can be that Uncle Tom, but come this time next week that same Uncle Tom, may be YOUR next president of the united states, something YOU and no black man has ever accomplished. Im starting to think Charles is JESSE JACKSON yall…JESSE is that you and AL talking sh*T!!!?? LOL
@ divine — I have been wondering that for a min, I think the only reason she doesn’t hate on Tiny is because she is in the A … and Rhi because she has a secret late night obsession w/ her …
Correction:
If we don’t stereotype ourselves as to what black is suppose to be.
I am proud to admit that I am truly voting for Obama on November 4th due to the fact that I reside in a divided household. My hubbie is a proud Republican due to his 20 year career as Chief in the Milatary. I am so not that wife that agrees with everything my husband says or share the same views. I love that we both cant respect each other’s poltical views, and have heated discussions a night about this election. However, I will say this, Senator McCain did NOT get his vote though. Go Figure????? I can’t wait for next Tuesday.
This man has taken so much from so many angles…
I wish one day he would grab his stuff, bite his lip, and raise his his middle finger high in the air.
Then grab it with both hands, face the camera and tell all his adversaries to SUCK my ****
But, that’s why I’m not his advisor or working on his campaign. I’d be slappin b!tches
i skipped the obama rally this morning here in raleigh. i have already seen him twice.
so i was the noble one who stayed behind and let others go (when did kwallace start giving a rats azz about “others”??? idk. i DO know i had a co-worker almost in tears she wanted to go so bad…)
anyhow YES. it has been confirmed he said it.
AND…….
ANNA PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THE ONE DROP RULE IS CAUSE I MAY NOT BE BLACK ENOUGH.
LOL
NOV 4TH WILL BE CHAOTIC, TRY TO VOTE EARLY UNLESS YOU WANT TO USE THOSE 3 HOURS THAT YOUR JOB CANT TOUCH YOU IF YOU SAY YOURE GOING TO VOTE
ITS THE LAW
@ CaramelDrop
LMBAO!!!!!!

—————————————
@DivineBrown,
He has too much wisdom to act like that.
I he never lets his flesh get the best of him while in office, we don’t need that.
Obama is not an uncle tom he is assimilating like most black folk should do. If we adapt to the current environment of America and assimilate we too could have great wealth. They don’t understand us and never will. But, honestly we understand them even if the message is hidden.
And the rules written by the founding fore fathers of America is if you have 1 drop of black blood guess what you are considered Black. Its terrible for mixed people because of situations like this. You are not white enough for YT people and not black enough for black people. The one drop rule effects Obama as well. So what he did not watch “Good Times” or the “Jefferson’s” he was busy reading and studying on how to become the first black president of the USA. Maybe if more parents made kids read and watch less T.V and play less Video’s games the state of the black community would be better. Sandra would not need to worry about 40 year old men wearing their pants below their a**es. Reading is fundamental not watching TV for a black experience. Sh*t most of us have the Black experience everyday at work, when riding a train and when interacting with each other.
paige the one drop rule came from the slavery days . if you had one drop of black blood you were black according to the white man .
Charles!!!!!
when Obama is elected, you are not allowed to make any derogatory comments against your commander In chief!
And it is punishable under the UCMJ…
I will not hesistate to turn you in!!!
Better get your hate out of your heart now!
if it were me i would mess up a star trek reference. i have never sat through an entire episode. despite my momma being a trekkie and watching it every, single day. i hate it.
falls along the same lines to me.

Please calm down……..LOL…..I can see you know…..
Sandra, which of your lucky readers are you going to sponsor to go to his Inauguaral Speech?
Can we have another say something nice contest? The topic can be, “Say something nice about being a Situation with a house full of kids.”
The winners get an expense paid trip to DC to see the half Black man who had two African American kids IN wedlock.

Somebody decided long ago (when you had to check your race in a box) that if you had a drop of black blood you were black, no ifs ands or buts. You can tell by my skin color I am white but if you ask me what color I am, I say black.
Amulet…clearly that was a joke! Mmmkay??
Calm down, K?
I see the same person you do…
I been lost since the gym,

OK,ANNA
I NOTICED THAT NOW ON MOST APPLICATIONS THAT THEY ASK THAT QUESTION, THEY NOW HAVE A ACTUAL BOX THAT PERTAINS TO MY DAUGHTER. THIS BOX ACKOWLEDGES BOTH RACES AND IM GLAD THEY MADE IT AN OPTION.
I THINK OF HER AS BLACK BUT SHE SAYS SHE IS WHITE.
@Peachiz………..her head is gonna pop…..
@Peachizz – She is going to move back to England and talk the Queen into giving her the right to vote in America to write the wrong. But I digress because it will be too late…. LOL

How about this, if there is a miscommunication, ignore my posts and I will do the same?
That sounds like a happy medium!
O BOY!!!

@Krysi J……Yeah I hated when people referred to good green as George Bush……he’s not a good Pres….he should have been referenced as some Bap ass weed…..
Here we go…..
@ Peachizz, I’m not goign to knock anybody’s hustle.
My nice comments are:
Whether we love it or hate it, the way they live their life work for them and who are we to judge them. Live yo life T.I. and in the famous words of Prynsxx, keep “making it rain” on maternity wards.
I always thought they refered to good Smoke as George Bush because by the time you finished smoking you would be stupid as all hell…
Please not the same shyt, again.
@Candi Apple……….that’s a good one……
*sigh*
Taking my own advice…

You have some nerve calling someone else an UNCLE TOM. SMH we really don’t need to claim people like this. disrespecting your race is not black enough.
Hmmm…black folk shouldn’t give a damn about weezie or elizabeth. They need to know Marcus, Taharqa, nzinga, hannibal (who by most accounts is possibly black), etc. That’s the problem. We know Louis, Soulja Boy,Ye and Weezy but not a damn thing about people who matter. Taharqa was a beast! He conquered Egypt and for some time,what is now the Sudan was the political hub of egyptian royalty. A summary so check it out my people.
So…should Obama enter his next rally to the Soul Train theme? Should he hand out watermelons and fried chicken when he gets in the White House? Would that make him “black enough” or a “real” brother??
Let’s just stick to our normal daily dose of C and D list ATL celebs, ok?

we gots to go all out!! after all…we gots to keep it black. so he can be black enough.
Whatever…sometimes I think he does lil things like this on purpose. He prob know all the characters and all the lines in the color purple just like the rest of us. The closer we get to Nov 4th – it becomes a strategy to win the damn game. on another note…how I get my pic up in my profile like some of ya’ll?

Kids do look at things more about color. My parents from the beginning told us we were black but also had to tell our dark skin sister that she was white. The weird thing is that all the light ones in the family married black spouses while my dark sister married white. LOL. The box check has changed. I am ok with affrimitive action and back in the day I was a employers dream hieree. A white looking black woman. They got to kill 2 birds with one me. LOL. A minority and a woman. Boy have times changed. White ppl are now the minority and in a few more decades Mexicans will be the biggest population. They have included in the survey the mexicans who migrate, immigrate and procreate. LOL.
Wow, guess I didn’t miss much. Still the same ish huh. Welp, gnite.
There goes my boo….You miss me, I miss u too….
@ K Wallace – damn, my invite must have gotten lost. Throw in some crawfish – gots to have some kinda seafood – and I’m there.
DivaMama Says:
Why does it matter that he’s not black enough? What should matter to you is if he is qualified enough!
******************************************************
He isn’t! One term as a senator? Obama is the least qualified of any presidential candidate in history.
when you get older you forget names, as bill cosby use to say, old people use to always look up or down below when thinking and its because there is a list of names that are below you and a list of faces that are above you.
there are no qualification to be president other than those stated in the constitution:
Article Two of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications to be eligible for election as President. A Presidential candidate must:
* be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
* be at least thirty-five years old;
* have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
where does it say you must be in offic 26 yrs ?
I dont see a black man being president this soon, and for all those who said i voted for john mccain you are mistaken, im not voting for eithe rone of these unqualified racist eccentric candidates, i dont believe in either one of them i was excited to vote initially as this will be my first time but after researching both candidates stands on each issue its a lose/lose situation and i wont make a careless vote…………………………………… You can say what you want but its how i feel. GOOD LUCK AMERICA
@ DIVINE BROWN
Barack will last a few months before being assassinated if he becomes president, hello president biden =]
His infomercial was amazing! Brilliant way to spend campaign money, unlike his opponent, whose now claiming Obama reneged on his promise of public vs private funding of his campaign. Well, I hate to tell ya Sandra, he looked and came across as very presidential. If you got a chance to see it, he looked very JFKish and MLKish all rolled in one, according to the old folks I was watching the commercial with. After it aired, all I could say is, there goes the next President of the United States! He was maaaaa-velous!
Obama/Biden 08

sarah pailin…whom we will be stuck with if johnny’s Alzheimer’s sets ALL the way in and is not considered “early onset” anymore….sarah is qualified to lead what..the wasilla PTA? oh my bad..she has 23 months of being the gov. of alaska under her belt.
i have been part of the workforce for awhile now. and i have an HR background to boot, so bear with me here…entertain me just for a minute.
whether you are ringing groceries, answering a phone, filling or even writing prescriptions…it has been proven by employment analysts to go down something like this:
most jobs, not all of them, MOST….it takes you at least 2-3 months to get acclimated (that is why you get reviewed most times “after 90 days”) 6-9 months to figure out what contributions you can make to the bottom line, and at least a year to do your job effectively.
so that means sarah has really only been doing her job for 10-11 months. even less that that since she was plucked from almost virtual oblivion 2 months ago.
oh yeah..sarah has alot of experience…i hope we don’t have to see THAT scenario play out. it could be painful. the very best we can hope for if mccain gets elected is that he stays healthy…so we don’t get stuck with that pillow queen soccer mom sarah. the one with…experience. the one who can see russia from her house.
goodnight.
Sandra, I have to tell you since i was there, the crowd didnt give a damn that he said WEEZIE instead of Elizabeth, they loved it and the white people were in complete awe of his presence all of them with their “I voted for THAT ONE” shirts on. And Charles needs to eat ROCKS with his assassination scare tactics, he’s a true republican with all that fear-mongering, so I guess all of us blacks should stay in the house for fear of being lynched at work! It is sad and disgraceful throwing away a right to vote that is a right that our ancestors died for, and just 40 years ago you couldn’t have even used the toilet beside a white person much less voted freely and have the choice to pick a black man. An elderly person told me once that whatever your misgivings you could at least vote your best interest for the skin you are in! So you are silly enough to complain about OBAMA but not vote for your own best interest whether it be MCCAIN OR OBAMA! well don’t speak on the subject anymore, since you are not voting!
@indesign 18 i am in raleigh too…and i was at the state fair last weekend and i saw and old white woman that you could look and tell she had prolly voted for jesse helms back in the day..with a shirt that said…”old white woman for obama” it was too too funny!!
yes every one recognizes he is a FORCE. black, white, yellow. i did not go today as i went twice before but i hear it was all that. and a bag o chips.
ps @indesign…we normally ignore charles up here but i cannot take it not one more second. i was doing my homework and peeked in and saw he was up to his normal…
Get off his nutz. He’s entitled to a brain fart, it’s just a sitcom damn! How many of us have made the same dang on mistake. Obama is not perfect. At least he brushes his teeth. McCain needs to invest in some crest whitening strips. NEXT!
Sandra…that statement was clearly one that you had not taken the time to think thru. Would it matter if he was ‘black enough’ yet less educated? Less intelligent? C’mon Sandra…even you know that being ‘black’ isnt a key ingredient in determining who the best president is… And i know u’re cleverer that than!!
Well I guess that wipes out the theory people are only voting for him because his skin color. NOW the world knows he is half white because he isn’t up to date on old african american sitcoms. Glad we got that cleared up! I guess we all should be grateful you don’t need knowledge of the Jeffersons to lead the country.
Sandra you are an out and out hater…and it just ain’t cute. I mean who are you to judge a black american on anything??
Besides, he is much more qualified than McCain. I don’t care how long any one has had a job if they are a consummate f&*% up. I mean lookak at him, his decisions over the last 20 years are mad suspect,MLK holiday, John Keating, Economic knowledge, Palin. Quite frankly I would say the same for Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick. She is a hot-mess. She is black but If I were in her district I would never vote for her.
Bottom line you just oughtto stop it. You can hate if you want but you really are just wasting your time.
