Reminds me of that racially-loaded term 'Uncle Tom.'
No offense to our entertainers like Arnel Pineda and Charice pempengco, but what bothers me is that the way they are depicted in our national media, we seem to have a hang-up in measuring our success and theirs by playing and hyping up their acceptance into 'white' society....just look at the way Ms.Pempengco's been fawned over by Ellen or Mariah.... Is that a subliminal way of telling ourselves that Filipinos are closeted Yanks who secretly wish for the Philippines as the 51st state? Gabby, That's a perceptive observation which I happen to agree with. Being praised and accepted in the West seems to be the pinnacle achievement for many Pinoy artists. It's like we crave to be as good as white people.
re charisse and arnel pineda, is it that we notice them only after they get attention abroad, or that we simply become proud that some talents we have are world class?
It is true that we have noticed the Charice's and the Arnel's only after they garner Western acclaim. It is but the natural reaction if a 'kababayan' is recognized internationally. But if you will take a closer look, Charice for example, may be more popular abroad than here in the RP. So, it is not the 'American Stamp of Approval' that decides who the Filipino gives his adulation. Sarah Geronimo, as an upcoming artist is more popular than Charice is now.
Tandoori chicken tastes better than KFC
Joey Ayala is a better man than Arnel Pineda and his ilk....... Indians can boast of world-class talent like Ravi Shankar or Lata Mangeskar Why can't we do the same, instead of regurgitating Broadway and Top 40 for public consumption? And some of our overseas compatriots have this patronizing attitude towards us left behind because they earn $$$$$$$ and speak with an accent that makes one cringe with embarrassment.... Wow! you hit the nail in the head Howie. There are also allegations about Obama's citizenship but I believe it all boils down to plain racism.
Obama dont have a 401K or any investments or stocks! thats why he wants to raise taxes! He is not a generous man--he only gave less than 1% of his income to charity
CAPITAL GAINS TAX --see comparison of the two MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.) DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.') INCOME TAX MCCAIN (no changes) Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250 OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Under Obama, your taxes could almost double! INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax any families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes. NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!! barack hussein obama is the biggest liar of all us presidents. He promised us veterans to get more of our earned benefits. He said during his stupid campaign but left us in the dark like scumbugs.
my name is Chief Quitoriano, a retired us navy veteran in September 2007 due to massive stroke in Norfolk Viorginia on April 2007. Agood word for hussein obama. only 1 term for you as preasident, watch Judging a person's ability by the colour of their skin is a simpleton's affair in (my opinion). And sadly, this mentality is absolutely common in the Filipino community. Stemming even from childhood: this mentality has been hardwired to innocent children that success comes by your skin tint. I remember my aunties telling me how dim my prospects are in finding a husband because I was a shade darker than them. =(
your aunties are wrong, but don't blame them. It is not true your chances of finding a husband is slim because you are darker. maybe what they are saying is that your chance of finding a white husband is low, because statistically speaking mixed race marriage is really low. The odds of finding a husband depends on how good looking you are, your body figure, your personality, etc.
the truth is some races are more beautiful than others, Miss Universe seems to always have a South American winner, super models comes from there too! There are also eastern european Caucasian or white super models. skin color is not a factor, there are white, black, brown skinned models and beauty pageant winners. the odds starts with whether or not you are attractive or whether somebody finds you attractive. Maybe you'd like to post a picture, and I can tell you whether your aunties are being racial or just telling the truth. Exactly! Whenever I'm in downtown Manila, the only billboards I see are of "mestizas!" Other than the Motorcross Champ, who is actually Chinese, but darker than the rest of the images portrayed on the downtown billboards. When I watch TFC, GMA and other channels, all I mostly see are "mestizas"... As for the idiot that stated I suffered from some type of Mestiza-wanna-be syndrome, it's actually the opposite. My Great-grandmother was Irish, so a lotta my relatives look pure white... I'm the same complexion as President-elect Obama, but have wished time and time again I was darker. I (as well as my Pinay Asawa-ko) think that Black is beautiful! I'd rather die than be anything else! Blackness is a coat of honor that I'll proudly wear until the day I die. No ther race survived the atrocities that we did! Not even the Jews! We rose from slaves to the most pwerful position on planet Earth! I love Barack Obama, and instead of retiring from Active Duty, I terminated my retirement selection and instead elected to continue my service in the U.S. Armed Forces simply because I wanna serve under him. 4 more years will take me to 30! Then I'll retire! He's my Commander-In-Chief and my hero! I will gladly die for him! God Bless Barack Obama and God Bless America!
If the majority of the white people in U.S.A. will again adopt racism, the world, especially the colored people, should never trust and cooperate with their government.
This incoming election is a test and measurement as to how deep america's conviction to the principles embodied not only in their constitution but also in the United Nations' Charter. If they failed this test then it is just proper that U.S.A. should withdraw its hypocrite international relations with other nation. Probably it is true that we Pinoys are clandestine racists by affirming that the Western white is better. We should change our reference frame that white as something 'good.' Pinoys are better.
I agress with you 110%! Youre absolutely Right! Obama has a FREEPASS from the MSM. Ive been here for like 7 yrs. now --& ive seen the truth, the liberal media & Democrats want this country to be anti-Capitalism! they want to spread the wealth of this nation as one of Obamas objective--comes from his mouth. PLS. People dont listen to the MEDIA( ABC--all barack channel, NBC--National Bias Corp. , CBS--Cuddlers for Barack station, etc...) you can watch FOX News-- a little better.
And Remember, A Republican Presidet is good for the Philippines.--Check out the increase in Aid in this BUsh Admin. Wow. This is way wrong. Too wrong. How can you even say this? I hope you realize you are hating right now. Iba ang pagtuligsa sa plataporma ng isang kandidato, iba rin ang pagtuligsa sa pagkatao ng isang kandidato. At ang pagsisinungaling ay kasalanan. I don't want to say you are lying but you are!
hey Jay...u remember the old folks said..tell me who your freinds are and I will tell you who you are. All politicians are in no doubt would promise anything to make it in the position. But the basis why we should vote for a candidate is trhough his character and personal background...who he was, where he was brought up and how he has shapern his life witht he people arround him. Obama by race is 25% african,25% muslim and 50% white. His friends in his neighborhood are convicted felon, terrorist adviser, and terrorist radical who bomb america. He was molded as racist by his pastor for 20 yrs. Ayers wife who is a radical lawyer in chicago hired him to train the faudalent ACORN which he denied becasue he is a liar.
By jan Bush low tax will expire and if Obama win he will use the previous tax which is higher and will cut a minimal amount only and raise more from the previous tax rates before Bush! opinion lang po...
US ELECTION : it is not the issue of RACE now nor the issue of the party...it is an issue of CHARACTER. as RIZAL said, "SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS and I will show you what kind of person you are." "Birds of a feather flock together". Try to search these guys...TONY REZKO, FARAKKHAN, WRIGHT, AYERS, AUCHI, DAVIS, OBONGO OBAMA, MARZOOK, KHALID, ODINGA, MEEKS...try to search the refutation of A-CORN. OBAMA is not an AFRICAN-AMERICAN but an ARAB-AMERICAN. OBAMA is dangerous...he is a RACIST. He is only good in TALK and not in WALK. IF WE HAVE A LIAR in MALACANANG, we have here also... IF WE HAVE A CHEATER in MALACANANG, we have here also. LOOK @ WHAT A-CORN IS DOING RIGHT NOW with the REGISTRATION... FYI, i've been here for 5years in NEW YORK and I know the real score here...ang mga ITIM na ngayon ang siyang nagdidiscriminate sa ibang mga LAHI. ang tawag nila sa mga TSINO ay YELLOW MONKIES. Don't get me wrong, not all black people are racist but many of them are...Not all black people are lazy but many of them are. They are the most narrow minded here, even the word "PLANT" is offensive word for some black people. OBAMA is the first ARAB-AMERICAN SOCIALIST FAR-LEFT and the MOST LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT ever in the history of US POLITICS. I HOPE and PRAY for JOHN McCAIN's VICTORY. JOE OF NEW YORK?
Wow. Wonder how those 5 years treated you to turn you into some sort of american white trash robot. Brown trash. What the HELL happened to you? i will not talk trash with people like you.
waste of time and nonsense to make a rebuttal with you. you are entitled with your opinion. waste of time and nonsense to make a rebuttal with you.
But you did. Joe you seem to like to spout off things you learn watching fox news or listening to Rush,that may have a thread of validity to them but have been twisted and distorted to present the far right agenda.I am a independent voter and there are flaws in both candidates.You want to talk about obama's associations with certain people and claim that this makes him less of a *patriotic American*.You need to take your own advice and do some research on the internet.Palins husband was a member of a Alaskan separatist movement who wanted to break away from the united states.Palin herself was not a member but did gives speaches to the group.So if your going to judge someone by there associations there is none closer than ones spouse.(and in my opinion none less patriotic than wanting to break away and become a independent nation!!!!!!)
Alam mo ba mga sinasabi mo, joe? alaki ang pasasalamat namin at wala ka na dito sa Pilipinas dahil kung hindi, isa lang malaking katawa-tawang nilalang. Para kang isang lorong nagsasalitang wala namang alam.
Maryosep...Joe of New York...
Your accusing Obama as a racist..while you yourself (and shame on you, as a Filipino) is even more RACIST than what you are claiming Obama tends to be. For racism to stop, you, yourself must have the initiative to put an end to it...and you are mentioning Rizal pa.. Jesus, what kind of person you are?..Get your facts straight. I think you're relying too much on rumors and racist point of view. Mag research ka ng maigi..you are just entertaining one side of the issue. Hindi ka balanced. SABI KO hindi isyu ang RACE at PARTY sa US ELECTION kundi CHARACTER.
magbasa kasi muna bago bumanat sa KOMENTO ng iba. bakit hindi mo i-google ang mga pangalang nilatag ko na associated kay OBAMA? ang RACIST ay mahilig sa GENERALIZATION...pansinin mo ang sinulat ko...HINDI MO BA NABASA ito??? Don't get me wrong, not all black people are racist but many of them are...Not all black people are lazy but many of them are. They are the most narrow minded here, even the word "PLANT" is offensive word for some black people. ikaw ang hindi BALANSE!!! Guys, take a break...
Everyone's a Little Bit Racist from Avenue Q Everyone's a little bit racist Sometimes. Doesn't mean we go Around committing hate crimes. Look around and you will find No one's really color blind. Maybe it's a fact We all should face Everyone makes judgments Based on race. Everyone's a little bit racist Today. So, everyone's a little bit racist Okay! Ethnic jokes might be uncouth, But you laugh because They're based on truth. Don't take them as Personal attacks. Everyone enjoys them - So relax! If we all could just admit That we are racist a little bit, Even though we all know That it's wrong, Maybe it would help us Get along. Yes, I know. The Jews have all The money And the whites have all The power. And I'm always in taxi-cab With driver who no shower! Everyone's a little bit racist It's true. But everyone is just about As racist as you! If we all could just admit That we are racist a little bit, And everyone stopped being So PC Maybe we could live in - Harmony! obama is no good for the US or any country. He has no experience and he is much on the radical side. Ayers? that name mean anything to you... McCain on the other hand is the lesser evil of the two. Atleast he has a reputable military and public service. But as a personal choice of a president, I wish there was a candidate who is willing to straighten the country by re organizing welfare. that is the root of all evil in the US. too many people are given this benefit that doesnt deserve it. its not a source of help anymore but it is now a source of support of which had been abused for generations. Cut welfare and give it to folks who need it, not because they are a minority. most pinoys in the US knows what Im talking about. there are a lot of welfare recipients who has lots of time in their hands who resort to crime. Im a law enforcement officer in the US and I have seen able bodied young men on welfare, no desire to earn their living and they just hang out and comit crimes. we have a lots of these problems in the gettho. if they are forced to worked because their welfare check is cut, these types of people would not be on the streets. thedy would be in a work place somewhere...
Joe-

So tingnan mo naman muna ang sarili mo sa MIRROR. 5 years kalang dito sa america you are so so smart naman!!! for your information and mga white americans and tingin sa mga babaeng Filipino ay mga PUTA!!! at mababa ang tingin nila sa atin. So tingnan mo naman muna ang sarili mo sa MIRROR.
may SINABI ba ako na LAHAT ng ITIM ay MASAMA? may sinabi rin ba akong lahat ng PUTI ay MABUTI? dito sa NY ang pinakaDIVERS ang KULTURA...kaya alam ko ang sinasabi ko at nagsasalita ako ayon sa PROFESSION at KARANASAN ko dito. fyi, kahit PUTI dito sa nature ng TRABAHO ko ay kapag mali ay dapat ituwid. hindi kami nagpapa-unggoy sa mga puti dito dahil alam naming may mga MASASAMANG PUTI din naman. parang KAPUSO, walang kinikilingan, SERBISYONG TOTOO lang. magbasa ka muna sa unang kung sinulat...malinaw ang sinabi ko...ang ISYU ng ELECTION ay hindi isyu ng KULAY o ng PARTIDO kundi ISYU ng KARAKTER. pansinin mo ang QUOTATIONS ko..."Birds of a feather flock together" "SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS and I will show you what kind of person you are." check mo ang mga ASSOCIATES ni OBAMA para malaman mo... TONY REZKO, FARAKKHAN, WRIGHT, AYERS, AUCHI, DAVIS, OBONGO OBAMA, MARZOOK, KHALID, ODINGA, MEEKS...try to search the refutation of A-CORN. BAGO bumanat sa KOMENTO ng IBA...MAGSURI muna sa mga nilatag nila. Joe of New York is speaking about his true to life experience ,and obervations about the politics of Obama. I give him credits for doing his homework. If he offended anyone, tough. Truth hurts. Let's all be civil and please stop the name calling. Mabuhay.
that's a mouthfull... hehehe
don't get me wrong... i was referring to the name only... not your skin color or character.. hehehe ulit...
Funny!
As a gradually read this threads, it seems that there are a lot of negative opinions on Americans (blacks or white) as you stated. If you all feel so deprived or so unhappy, PLEASE LEAVE THE UNITED STATES. No one is asking you to be here!!!
maybe if you guys stop talking about all this racist things, it will stop . im going to highschool next year in manhattan and my mom is really scared because she is afraid of racists in the train . But im not scared `cause I just ignore these racists . I have been going to different schools, and many students there are racists . But I just ignore them, even if it hurts in the inside . When I ignore them, the pain soon goes away and sooner or later, I become friends with that used to be racist . So like I said, just ignore these racists . Whether your filipino, african american, latino, brazilian, white . Whatever . And by the way, im 13 years-old [:
Hi. Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
I am from Singapore and also now teach English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Uric relaxant has determined same fence amongst sick medications; the british acupuncture council got for it to be disposed pain reading laws', and taking from it the anti-ulcer turn', as it is quite high to instant parts but have had to release this after performance from the first insurance." Thanks Joe or Jose of New York & Ron Kalbs,
I'm just wondering how you look like. If you're one of those confederate flag-bearing, white-hooded, nazi-loving, pasty white American guy, then I can understand your racist remarks. But you're forgetting that you are a brown Pinoy inside and out who happens to have lived in NY for only 5 years. How can you easily forget that Pinoys are also subjected to racist remarks like yours. There is no race superior than others. Laziness is not exclusive to a single race as there are lazy people all over the world whether they be black, white, yellow, red or brown. And that includes us Pinoys. As for being violent, how about the brutal murders that's being committed in the Philippines or anywhere in the world? Perhaps you're skin is starting to become white with constant use of Glutathion and Likas Papaya Soap. Shame on you! Wake up from your American dream. Gerry G. hindi ko alam kung INGGIT ka lang o ano?
you should READ and learn to comprehend my writings before you make an ATTACK of the person. AD HOMINEM na yang ginagawa mo...attack the ISSUE not the person. anong pinagsasabi mong RACIST ang komento ko. isang TAO lang ang binabanatan ko nang PARTICULAR at ito ay si OBAMA. hindi mo ba napansin sa sulat ko sa una sa itaas COMMENT#7 na gumamit ako ng mga KATAGANG "SOME", "NOT ALL" na nagpapakita na HINDI AKO RACIST? sabi ko pa sa ibaba ng una kong komento ay ito...pakiBUKAS ang MATA para malinaw mong mabasa ito... REPOSTED from comment#7: "Don't get me wrong, not all black people are racist but many of them are...Not all black people are lazy but many of them are. They are the most narrow minded here, even the word "PLANT" is offensive word for some black people." hindi ako tumitingin sa KULAY ng TAO, kundi sa KARAKTER nito. HINDI LAHAT ng ITIM ay MASAMA at HINDI rin naman LAHAT ng PUTI ay MABUTI. HINDI LAHAT ng PINOY ay MASIPAG at hindi rin naman LAHAT ng ITIM ay TAMAD. HINDI lahat ng PINOY ay MANDARAYA at hindi rin naman lahat ng TSINO ay TAPAT sa KAPWA. HINDI lahat ng PUTI ay walang RESPETO sa PINAY at HINDI rin naman LAHAT PINAY ay BASTUSIN. magbasa at unawain muna ang nakasulat bago umatake ng komento ng iba. KAPAG BA SINABI kong MARAMING FILIPINO dito sa AMERIKA na mga TANGA na napapaniwala sa KALOKOHAN ng WOWOWEE, nangangahulugan bang RACIST na ako at nangangahulugan bang LAHAT NG FILIPINO dito sa US o sa PINAS ay mga TANGA? UMAYOS ka ng unawa mo...ok? I need to trash this ignorant pinoy from new york with all those unsubstantiated calumny of barack obama. Assuming Obama is socialist (which he is not, I don't know how they define that word anyway), or Arab (which he is not) or Mruslim (which he is not), what of it? Does being any of this necessarily bad? If socialist means, the socialist party in France then there's no problem. That party in France is responsible for providing its people with universal educationa dn health care, things which the US lacks and because of that is losing its comptetive edge in the world. Does being an Arab automatically a bad thing? The major ally of the US in the Middle East is not Israel, it is Saudi Arabia. The latter is one of the US' main creditors and source of oil. Does being Muslim mean automatically bad? Then yuu have to drive away 3 million Americans who possess that faith, and yes, a significant number in the US military. This so-called joe of new york engages in the very same racist stereotyping that has victimized not only blacks but also Asians, including Filipinos. Just look at how our World War II veterans are being treated.
This is not to mention McCain also has his shady connections, like Keating, and the Palins who are supporters of the seccionist Alaska independence movement, a group inspired by the old Conferedacy during the US Civil War. These are groups of similar mindsets as Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber. Finally this joe must be thankful to the blacks who struggled for civil rights because without civil rights, there would be no Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that opened the US to immigrants of all races and countries. But of course poor joe of new york is too ignorant and too bigoted to care about this. It's better still for joe of new york to come live in the deep south, along with the ku klux klan and rednecks and see how they would treat him. See if they accept you as one of them! Blacks are 99% violent, lazy, arrogant, lawsuit happy, and love handouts race ang Obama is black.. Just look at the jail population and welfare recipients. The USA is doomed if BARRACK OSAMA is elected president.
ron kalbs-
This is the BIG reason why most Filipinos hindi umuunlad sa buhay because the way think...narrow minded. Asus...
Let the one without sin cast the first stone...tigas ng mukha mo..Shame on you! nice opinion but one-sided. if majority of the filipinos in the US feel negative about the blacks - it is because what they see and what they actually experience IS negative about them. otherwise, why would we be so 'prejudiced' in a foreign land? it is just but human nature to associate things with another. this article only undermines the way filipinos think and typecast us as 'no better' for reacting from what we experience. it is a sad fact in this country that most of those who can hold and navigate a pen through a paper think they are better than others while consciously or subconsciously judging their own countrymen as stereotypes.
i personally would vote for obama but if i have to insult or degrade my fellow filipinos for being what they are and what they prefer, then i would be no better than those racists there in US, isn't it? stupid is as stupid does. I still cry a bucket for Hillary's loss...and with due respect for Mr. Gabby's opinion, Arnel Pineda is a great singer. Come on, let's give credit where it is due.
yes i think it is a very good site.
I am from England and know bad English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "We dare you to compare when buying your hawaii air tickets not only." THX :p, Low las vegas airfare. i live in baltimore where majority of residents are black. baltimore city is in the top 10 list of most dangerous city. considering that, i've seen the good and bad of them. but joe of ny is right, blacks are very demeaning to other minorities, especially asians. most of them are lazy and loud, i'm not saying that all of them but MOST OF THEM. for me, obama and mccain are both evil, you just have to choose for the lesser evil. and i believe that is mccain.
are you from baltimore city gay nicolas? its nice to see pinoy getting involved. And you are right about your comment. I see it everyday working the streets of Baltimore. karamihan sa itim mga pasaway. dapat talaga tangalan nang welfare yan mga egoy para matuto silang magtrabaho.... 80 percent nang na aresto ko ay egoy. mas marami sa kanila ang mga makukulit.
Hi all. Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but, unlike charity, it should end there.
I am from France and also now'm speaking English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Make money, to challenge crazy affair in making choices spits that you promote to let a many fact in traffic to get question for other." Waiting for a reply :-), Make real money online. This is so true Howie. Even my own relatives who are long-time residents of the U.S. and are supposedly more exposed to better information about their presidential candidates are voting for McCain. They are scared of African-Americans even though none of them have actually had any negative experiences w/ the latter. (One even continues to believe that Obama is a Muslim.)
On the other hand, I find it amusing that in the survey on www.voteforpresident.org, Obama wins among Pinoys here at 70% to McCain's 30%. I am a FIlipino and I am voting for Obama. This is not about race, this is about issues, character and I find Obama a good candidate that will somehow change America and the world.
Spread the wealth and stop the greed and the world will change for the better! Vote for Obama! Hi everyone. We are what we repeatedly do.
I am from Cambodia and too poorly know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "The estate includes land which has a number of national and international natural heritage designations; one of the country largest areas." Best regards :o, Hagan. most of black are arrogant and they are lazy and always complain ..alot of them i work with dont show to work i dont know why but thats true...there loud wherever they go...they have def values...especially obama say spread the wealth that is crazy how you gonna do that if most black dont work and they blames gov..but they are lazy i mean lazy..they want gov to give them money all the time so its gonna get worst once obama get elected...its like you go school to get high grade to have a good future and have a good life while someone is just lazy to go school doing durgs and drinking and wasting there time so its make sense not to spread the weatlh...communism is not good for america!! " THIS IS FOR OBAMA "TELL ME YOUR FRIENDS AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE"
meron akong 2 kapatid na nakatira sa U.S at sa tingin ko ayaw din nila kay OBAMA na di ko maintindihan kung bakit?
bakit nga ba? sabi ng kapatid ko ang mga itim daw (sa barko kasi siya job niya)barat mag tip,at palagi raw silang tinatakbuhan para maka iwas sa bayad at yayabang daw lalo ang mga itim kapag si obama ang nanalo. nagulat ako sa sinabi niya akala ko ang itim sa US ay di kagaya dito sa EUROPE dito kasi sa europe ang mga itim karamihan ay 3ang asawa sa iisang bahay di nagtatrabaho umaasa sa bogyerno anak ng anak ng sa ganoon marami silang makuhang pera sa gobyerno kaya ang kina kalabasan lumalaking mga ulol ang mga bata at sila pa ang mga matatapang bibigyan mo yan ng maayos na bahay sisirain bababuyin wala akong problema sa itim pero sa nakikita ko rito puro sila ASA sa tingin ko si OBAMA ay di mananalo kahit na sabihin mo pang lamang siya sa survey sa tingin niyo po ba papayag ang mga italyano o alemagne o pranses ng mag karoon ng itim na presidente o ang african na magkaroon ng puting presidente o intsik na itim na pres. I expect these comments spring from work situations, where emotion sometimes shape beliefs. In the movie Caregiver, for example, Sharon had to help an elderly person off a bed and a large black caregiver standing behind her says she could not help because of a bad back. OF course this was talked about by other Pinoy caregivers in the movie. One instance like this can bring on a chain of other things, make one notice more of the same things and give a perspective that is totally racist.
WIKIPEDIA: "Racism, by its simplest definition, is the belief that race is the PRIMARY determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. . .According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination." I think some of the comments here show that the racism is not quite so unconscious. Some people are VERY conscious about their racial slurs. Education will give you a view to the world that is not limited by experience but for some educated people, experience still wins out and they would still judge an entire race (or ethnicity) by their experiences. Whatever the behavior of certain people are, assuming everyone or even most of those who looks similar will be the same IS racist. Hey, Filipinos are racist even against ourselves!! I didn't realize how tasteless this sentence was till now: "TELL ME YOUR FRIENDS AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE". Haven't looked into the friends of Obama but just look at the friends of Jesus Christ. Would you people have thrown the first stone? (Oh, by the way, Jesus Christ was Arab). Well, it would be safe to say that Jesus and Arabs were/are both Semitic peoples. Jesus happened to be Jewish, while many Arabs today (not all) are Muslims. I think it's difficult for people, and many are not even willing, to sift through the complexities of ethnic, religious, national and so-called "racial" (there really is no such thing as "race," if you look at genetics) identities in order to veer away from useless stereotyping and overgeneralization...
P.S. Many of the comments here just bolster Howie's and the original writer's (the one Howie quoted) premise. Considering that many of the commenters seem to be college graduates, the problem then seems to lie not in the level of the our education but its content. Thank you, Trina, I did think about Jesus being a Jew before posting, and he must be ethnically Arab. Judaism or other faiths is a different question, which raises the issue that we cannot judge entire groups (or most of entire groups) for their race, creed, religion.
I also think any racist would try to mask his racism by saying "most, not all". This still implies the criticism is being applied to a greater number belonging to the race, hence, the criticism must at least be correlated to race. The exception has been said to prove the rule. I am at least happy this discussion is going on among Pinoys, a lot of whom are still trying to be whiter with glutathione and papaya. Why are you saying that Filipinos, who follow some ideas propagated by white people trying to be white?
Isn't that a very racist comment? It just shows who you and Howie really are, you are either racist or jealous? Jealousy is the root of all evil. Jesus according to history is not an arab. he is a Jew... I think the arabs would find that insulting. As we know arabs dont like Christianity.
there's so much things to question about obama.. first, his birth certificate is being questioned. not only his but of his mother as well who is not white as you say she is. she is not american but only got a citizenship with lots of issues with it.
SOME PINOY ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA FOR WHAT? GOOD CHARACTER AND VALUES ? YOU MAKE ME LAUGH HAHAHAHHA PLEASE TELL ME WHO IS BARACK OBAMA ?HE ONLY BEEN IN US SENATE FOR 143 DAY AND START RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH OBAMA HAS NOT SWEAR AS US SENATE YET AND HE ALREADY START RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT..YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE TERM OF THE GUY YOURE REPLACING AND OBAMA HAS NOT SWEAR YET.
DO YOU KNOW OBAMA SPENT HIS EARMARKS TO HOSPITAL IN CHICAGO WHERE HIS WIFE WORKS AND GIVEN A PAY RAISE. OF 159,000$ SO OBAMA IS A CORRUPT POLITICIAN FROM CHICAGO..ASK YOUR SELF WHY OBAMA IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A GREAT NATION BUT HE'S ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE AMEIRCA ...WHEN ASK IS JUST THE GUY I KNEW IN NEIGHBORHOOD....? ASK YOUR SELF AGAIN WHY OBAMA DONT SUBMIT HIS ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? RATHER THAN SHOWING IT , HE HIRED A LAWYER TO DISMISS THE CASE. ASK YOUR SELF WHO IS THE REAL BARACK OBAMA? THIS GUY BARACK OBAMA IS NOT EVEN QUALIFIED TO BE AND FBI AGENT CUZ HE CAN NOT PASS THE FBI BACKGROUND CHECK...SO I WERE YOU , DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT OBAMA ! AND THEN TELL ME THAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR HIS VALUES AND CHARACTER AND HIS JUDGEMENT? ACTUALLY HE MEET AYER WHEN HE WAS 35 YRS OLD NOT 8 YRS OLD SO COME BACK TO ME AND DEPEND YOUR OBAMA!

OBAMA HE CAN TALK AND THATS IT...THINK ABOUT IT PILIPINO HERE IN USA..I HAVE A BROTHER IN US NAVY SOME CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ARE CRITICAL IN SOME AREA LIKE NUCLEAR CODES...SO ASK YOUR SELF WHO YOU REALLY TRUST TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE? GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS AMERICA...ITS A GREAT NATION AND GREAT COUNTRY.. nakow....
rick, you are an exemplary sa 2 samples ng cancer sa Filipino soceity, Colonial mentality Crab mentality Feeling ko ang ibang comment dito e super racists...reminds me of Nazi-Hitler types...this time, they come in brown skins... Pity you. If you are the one who are being talked about...you cry. And wanted public apology. But now, who are you to speak to me like that? Philippine who went to US once, felt very high and forgot to look back where they came from.
And thats you! Send me message on this email, and let me give you a damn surprise. I'll wait for you and your challenge right now. mohd_achmed@gmail.com Jeez.... talk about fili racism.... most filis (*in my opinion*) are racist towards people of different colour (other than white) and religion (I can't believe achmed is being heckled because of the origins of his name!).
Looking at how it's going, I don't think that US is ready for a Black President (even though a really good one comes along) because of its prevalent racist ideologies. If Obama wins.... it'll she a surprise.... Here in the UK, the educated-professional general public are more keen on Obama because of his education and background. However, the common working class WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant), seems to be more likely to vote for McCain as he represents the 'strong, manly, hero-esque' type of the soldier that served his country... an ideal strong leader... in their view Whoever wins... or whoever you vote for, I just hope that the next US president would improve the US's Foreign Policy. I am Filipino American and a liberal. I grew up in the Philippines, moved to the states at 16. Grew up in the middle class backgroup. Both of my parents work hard to have the American dream. I am supporting Obama for ff: reasons.
1. Equality 2. Universal Health Care 3. Environmental Issues 4. Iraq War For me, I could relate more to the Democratic party than the GOP. I grew up poor. I work for a non profit agency that provides legal services to the poor. I've seen how people struggle and a little of help can go a long way. The last 7 years of Bush administration, he only created 5.1 million additional jobs, Bill Clinton created 24 million jobs. Jobs creation is the fuel of our ecomony. I don't mind paying taxes, and I am part of the 28 percentile. Taxes educate America's future, create jobs, promotes equality. Without it, poor people will not be given a change to a "fair fight". Education is the major equalizer in life, it breaks the cycle. is it that America is all about, Fairness. We gave your "jerk" a chance for 8 years, and look what happened. Do you really feel safe? How's your medical insurance premium? How 's your 401k? Think about your children's future? The gap of the rich and the poor is widening in the United States. The last 7 years we lost a big percentage of the middle class. Do you want the adapted county of yours to be like our homeland. Where the rich 5 percent continue to take advantage of the middle class and the working class? Have a nice day. Not everyone is for OBAMA,theres a lot of Filipino Americans whose going to vote for Mc Cain, because of the virtues and principles that he stands on.
Democrats i just always complaining about 8 years of Bush.. they also had a part of that 8 years , pero di sila uma-amin..hahahahhahaha what a comeback. values of the GOP? Jesus was a socialist and a progressive. Think about it.....
Good evening. A sympathetic Scot summed it all up very neatly in the remark, "You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and folk dancing."
I am from Bulgaria and know bad English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Of the most powerful stock charting and technical analysis programs available on the market." Best regards :), Amos. Mga ginigiliw kong kababayan. Marami sa atin dito ang hindi marunong magsulat ng tamang Ingles. Sana nga manalo na si Obama, who not only writes and speaks whole meaningful sentences in English, but also uses elegant and "Shakespeareanesque" words. Baka sa kanya pa tayong matututong magsalita ng tama. Hindi lang iyan, he has obvious personal qualities that could serve as a model to many of us, lalo na sa mga kabataan natin - his calm demeanor, even temperament, focus, decency, elegance. Sa totoo lang, hindi lahat ng blacks ay tulad ng mga iniisip ninyo. Hindi naman siguro kayo mga racists, kundi kulang pa sa exposure sa mga high level of discourse and personal interaction.
Anumang lahi ay may discrimination. Don't tell me wala. Mapa white o black, umiiral ang kanila makasariling paghahari. Depende na rin sa kanyang-kanya experience sa while o black. Ako nakaranas ng discrimination sa white and black. Even in my own country I experience discrimination because I am poor pero tanggap ko yun. Hindi naman lahat nang nilalang ay nagde-discriminate. Pero kung ipapadama mo sa kanila na hindi puede ang kanila pagiging discrimination o lalabanan mo sila, mag-iisip din sila. It is politics time now ginagamit nila issue ang economy, hindi kasalanan ni Bush ang nangyayari crisis in economy. This is a global economy crisis, its happen in the whole world. Kasalanan ba ni Bush kung nagkaroon ng economy crisis sa Europe, he is not the president there. Kaya do not be fooled by this candidate or their party affilliation. They will promise you everything to get your vote. For me I vote for John McCain, a well experience most of all a CHRISTIAN person. If you are a Christian you will not vote a non Christian. I have a right for my opinion. Use your own. Thank you
On the US election, the issue is not about race as what you advocated. The major concern is the blurred background of Obama like the following:
1. Obama was not born in the US but in Kenya to a muslim. Check this out: --> http://www.israelenews.com/view.asp?ID=3324 --> http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/10/11/obama-born-in-kenya-new-information/ 2. Obama is a muslim. Though he claimed that he is a "devout christian", then it should be "Barry Dunham" instead of "Barack Hussein Obama" which is a muslim sounding name. Now that's scary. Why careful with muslims? Because they don't want to coexist with anyone other than their own religion kind. They want to be masters to anyone. 3. Obama has ties with ACORN, his campaigned had been funded by financiers from China and Saudi Arabia, he has verifiable associations with known terrorists and racist and "black america", and so on. Now, just for yourself about this Obama. It's not about being racist because blacks are racist too. ipagpaumanhin po ninyo GINOONG HOWIE ang pagpopost ko dito ng aking nararamdaman at nalalaman na sa aking palagay ay ito ay TAMA at MAKATUWIRAN.
UULITIN ko ang stand ko sa isyu. tatagalugin ko na dahil mahina tayo sa INGLES... ang HALALAN sa AMERIKA ay hindi isyu ng KULAY o ng PARTIDO kundi ISYU ng KARAKTER. pansinin at suriin ang mga KAPANALIG, KADIKIT, KASANGGA, KAIBIGAN nitong si OBAMA. KUNG sino at ano ang mga KAIBIGAN mo ay GANUN ka rin. saliksikin ninyo ang mga PANGALANG ITO kung ano ang kanilang PROFILE... TONY REZKO, FARAKKHAN, WRIGHT, AYERS, AUCHI, DAVIS, OBONGO OBAMA, MARZOOK, KHALID, ODINGA, MEEKS...try to search the refutation of A-CORN. BAKIT kailangang hindi MANALO si OBAMA? dahil APEKTADO ang PINAS at hindi lang tayo pati na ang buong mundo. uulitin ko... HINDI LAHAT ng ITIM ay TAMAD o MASAMANG TAO kundi MARAMI sa kanila ang GANITO. HINDI KO rin sinasabi na kapag PUTI ay MABUTING TAO agad...hindi LAHAT ng PUTI ay MABUTI dahil MARAMI din sa kanila ang HINDI. umayos kayo ng unawa sa nakasulat. kapag sinabi kong LAHAT ng ITIM ay MASASAMANG TAO...dyan na ninyo ako AKUSAHAN ng pagiging RACIST. SABI nga ni RIZAL, walang ALIPIN kung walang magpapa-ALIPIN. nasa KARAKTER ng TAO ang ISYU at hindi sa BALAT nito. nagsasalita ako ayon sa KARANASAN ko dito sa NEW YORK na isang lugar na pinakaDIVERS ang mga kultura ng mga taong nakatira dito sa lahat ng estado sa amerika. fyi, may mga KAIBIGAN akong ITIM, PUTI, DILAW, KAYUMANGGI, PULA, at kung anu-ano pa. may mga hindi rin naman ako kasundong ITIM, PUTI, DILAW, KAYUMANGGI, PULA at kung anu-ano pa. ngayon, RACIST ba ako? kung RACIST ako, ano ang HINDI sa inyo? ikaw na humahatol agad na hindi muna binabasa mabuti ang nakasulat...ilan ang KAIBIGAN mong ITIM, PUTI, DILAW, KAYUMANGGI, PULA at kung anu-ano pa? Problema sa pinoy dito sa tate feeling puti, e di naman. Tawag ng pinoy kay Obama itim, pero half black naman yun tao, para bagang the black half kinda ruined the white half. Karamihan ng pinoy magkaroon lang ng konting dugong kastila, chinese or kano, feeling white na at feeling superior na at tipong uhaw na uhaw sa attention ng mga puti at kapag na puri ng puti pumapalakpak na ang tenga. Don't put Obama on the same category as irresponsible African Americans who live in New York. The man obviously has a lot of class and he is a Harvard graduate for crying out loud!
ang HIRAP din sa mga wala naman sa NEW YORK kung magkomento feeling nila alam nila ang nagaganap dito.
hindi puedeng tawagin mo itong NEGRO dahil offensive sa kanila ito kaya ang tawag ay ITIM. hindi PORKE HARVARD GRAD ka na ay MATINO na ang PAGKATAO mo. tandaan natin na si LOPEZ ng ABS-CBN ay GRADUATE ng HARVARD pero DAYUKDOK sa PERA at maraming FILIPINO ang niloloko sa isyu ng PPA, SYSTEM LOSS, WOWOWEE SCANDAL, ULTRA STAMPEDE, at kung anu-ano pang mga ANOMALYA. hindi pa natin sinasama dyan ang DI-UMANO ay PANUNUHOL ng LOPEZes sa CA JUSTICES. ngayon, kung sa tingin ninyo SUPERIOR ang ilang mga FILIPINO dito sa NEW YORK na tinutuligsa si OBAMA...MAGSURI ka kung bakit maraming PINOY na ayaw kay OBAMA. HINDI PORKE magaling sa SPEECH ang isang TAO ay nangangahulugang MAGALING na LIDER na ito. fyi lang, hindi INTIMADATED ang mga PINOY dito sa NEW YORK kung may KASABAYANG PUTI, ITIM, PULA, DILAW o kung anumang kulay meron ito...sabi ko nga HINDI ISYU dito kung ano ang KULAY mo kundi KUNG ANO ANG KARAKTER mo. uulitin ko... kung HANGANG-HANGA tayo kay OBAMA dahil HARVARD GRAD, mag-isip muna tayo ng MARAMING BESES bago tayo humanga. kilalanin natin ang BUONG PAGKATAO nito at dun natin matutuklasan na hindi pala dapat tayo humanga. pambihira GRADUATE lang ng HARVARD, naGENERALIZED mo na agad na lahat ng GRAD dito ay MATINO ang pagkaTAO. HINDI LAHAT ng GRADUATE ng HARVARD ay may matinong KARAKTER. by the way, hindi ba't si MIRIAM DEFENSOR ay HARVARDIAN din? ano sa tingin mo, MATINO ba siya? nagtatanong lang...wag masamain. Just got this site:
http://fightthesmears.com/articles/20/acornrumor Sana mabigyan ng light ang usapin tungkol sa US politcs Joe of NY, I love and hate Miriam Santiago. But we cannot deny the fact that she is quite a character on the senate floor. She also the senator who passed the most bills. Love her, hater her but she is doing her job excellently.
who is TONY REZKO?
who is JEREMIAH WRIGHT? who is BILL AYERS? who is FARAKKHAN? what is ACORN? sir HOWIE, gawa po kayo ng REPORT tungkol sa mga TAONG ito para naman maliwanagan ang ibang mga FILIPINO dyan sa PILIPINAS. dagdag na INFORMATION ay maari kayong magREFER sa FOXNEWS. tanging FOXNEWS na lang ang BALANSE sa pagrereport ng ELECTION. sabi nila RIGHT-WING daw ang FOXNEWS...hindi po...sila ay maituturing na KAPUSO NETWORK ng AMERIKA. CNN, MSNBC, and other networks are PRO-OBAMA. MARAMING SALAMAT ng PAUNA. alam mo joe mali pala kinukunan mo ng information. fox news pa. yung pang pinaka walang kredibilidad ng news org sa america. manood ka ng daily show ni john stewart para maliwanagan ka. yang fox news wala na yang sinabi mganda sa mga democrats lahat sa kanila tama basta gawa ni bush at ng mga republicans.
kaya pala ganyan ka magcomment eh. ganyan din mag comment yung mga white, less educated ng mga taga southern us na republican. yung mga tinatanung mo tignan mo sa factcheck.org kung tama. daldal ka ng daldal kasi mali naman pla mga facts mo. I am a lifetime Democrat and for the first time I will voting Republican. Here's my words of wisdom:
It is not because Obama is black but because I am scared to death to let someone I do not know to lead this most powerful nation on earth, the USA. I said I do not know because when you look what Obama's accomplishments as a public servant, he did nothing to brag about. I'm not sure if you people know what he did in Illinois State Senate before becoming a U.S. senator for three years; that if there is an important bill in the State legislature Obama would answer PRESENT instead of YES or NO! In other words, he cannot make a decision for what is good for the state but only for what is good for himself. Ayaw niya na kung magkamali siya sa pagboto magbackfire sa kanya ang issue. Sigurista siya para sa sarili. I have lots of Filipino friends who are Democrats but 99% of us will vote Republican comes November. We cannot allow someone so ambitious and inexperienced to lead this great country.. never! DEMOCRATS FOR MC CAIN! korek ka dyan!!!
siguro naman magigising na ang ilang mga FILIPINO na sumasali sa USAPANG PULITIKA sa AMERIKA gayung wala naman silang KARANASAN at MUKHAANG nakikita ang TUNAY na KAGANAPAN dito. iba ang sinasabi ng CNN, MSNBC at ilang mga DEMOCRAT NETWORK sa tunay na kaganapan ng BANSA. HINDI NA ISYU dito ang PARTIDO o KULAY ng BALAT kundi ISYU na ito ng PAGKATAO ng dalawanag KANDIDATO. FYI, BARACK means IDEALISTIC (wala sa REALIDAD, puro DALDAL lang ang alam at wala sa GAWA) and OBAMA means AMBITIOUS (kung ikukumpara si OBAMA sa pulitika sa PILIPINAS parang NOLI DE CASTRO lang yan na isang AMBISYOSO at LITO LAPID naman sa SENADO na walang ginawa kundi BUMUTAS ng UPUAN). 5 years...... hmmm...
You know, i've been living in the Philippines for all my life.... Born and raised in the Philippines but until now i do not consider myself an expert on the issue why Tagalogs discriminate Visayans... or Christians discrimintating Moslems... or which attitude is which... and you guys who've been living there, migrated there, or borned and raised there in the US would never become an expert to make an opinion or judgement on what is racist or whom are a better person. I agree with what one said, those two presidential candidates are both evils. They have their own agendas and interests. It's just matter of choosing which one is the lesser evil. So, what do you think??? 5 years living there??? hmmmm.... esep esep !!! 5YEARS ako nakatira dito pero sa buong buhay ko ay ARAL ako sa PULITIKA ng AMERIKA.
mas LALO kong napatunayan ang MGA NAPAG-ARALAN ko sa LIBRO nang MAKITA ko ang REALIDAD. mahirap bang i-reconcile yun? hirap sayo, wala ka namang alam sa ISYU babanat ka pa ng hindi mo naman alam. MANOOD ka na lang ng DEBATE ngayon dahil dito gaganapin ang HULING DEBATE ni the next US PRESIDENT JOHN McCAIN at ni MR. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. nood ka rin pala ng preseidential debate jan??? Don't forget your books, encyclopedia, and dictionaries while you're watching ha?!? Just in case you would find another enlightenment and discoveries from those books that you've studied and from the observations you have experienced mingling with uncle Sam's progenies...
Good Luck sa ýo jan sa new york... wag ka sana mahulog sa subway pag-uwi mo... lol Hey Joe at lahat ng mga "maverick" na katulad mo, isa lang po ang masasabi ko sa inyo:
"Magsi-uwi na nga kayo sa Piipinas at pakita niyo ang kagalingan ng pag-iisip niyo!" Mas Amerikano pa kayo sa mga Kano! Jose of New York, Cubao You have write bad english dude...
Obama is WAYYYYY better than Noli de Castro and even SMARTER than Lito Lapid You are just brain washed by smear campaigns. You are just like the woman in CNN who happened to say that Obama is an Arab... Misguided. Obama will be a stupid choice for president. He is only there for shows and publicity. He ignored the wounded soldiers and the troops waiting to see him in the combat zone so he can take a photo opportunity with the bias news media. The dude doesn't know anything about boots on the ground. Most of us who have been in the combat zone would choose someone who can lead the USA. Why? Because a superpower like the US needs someone that the people can trust. Many people think that McCain is not good enough but I will choose McCain right now to ensure that the world will be in better shape. I will not be afraid to go back and fight again unless Obama is the president; that will be the time that I will retire. Trust me, I know what I am telling you, the medals I earned in the combat zone will be the testimony that no matter how tough the situation is we will overcome as long as we know we got the nations support and our commander in chief will be there for us. With Obama, I would probably die in vain and he will still try to get some photo shoot instead of taking care of the troops. Lastly, I hope that we will support our fellow pinoys/pinays that made a big name in the USA or in the world. Please do not be jealous of their accomplishments and popularity. I think that is great and a great contribution to our nation. Most of the problems starts because of inggitan. God Bless Us all. Mabuhay!
First of all, let's get some things straight... Filipinos are not true Americans... Look at the stats regarding fatalities in the war zone... Filipinos ONLY seek jobs that pay money when they get out, such as medical or finance positions... They are not combatants, they are gold-diggers and cowards. Your Filipino parents TELL you what occupation to enlist in. Unfortunately, your nation's desire for money and materialistic things has skewed your character... You become "obsessed" with it. It motivates you to do corrupt things. I had a Filipino working for me at my part time job. He'd clock-in at our work place, then dissappear for long periods of time. I found him at the Commissary one day. He was clocking in at one job, then sneaking away to bag groceries at the Commissary. We fired him needless to say. Out of the over 55 countries I've transited or operated in, the Filipinos are the most dishonest people I've ever met. When rice went up, the Commissary limited customers to 1 bag per customer. I saw Filipinos bring up to 5 kids, 1 as young as 4 years old, to each stand by a bag of rice. When I went to get some rice it was all gone, on it's way to the P.I. I'm sure... Filipinos are parasites...locusts... They've done NOTHING to contribute to America... They are the least classy citizens... The ones in the military are money hungry cowards, and the others are gold-diggers and whores... Too many mail-order" brides that even discard their own race of men to gold-dig other men.. A race where the men are dark and the women are light! A joke to the world! A bunch of wanna-be white people... I see Filipinos singing Karaoke songs like Frank Sinatra, looking like some geeky wanna-be white guy... Filipinos are the most confused, copy-catting, creative-less, non-original people I've ever met...
So please don't try to paint a picture that you're "patriotic!" Filipinos ONLY care about self!!! They are motivated by money... Google "white men kill Filipina wives" and you'll find countless murders by their disrespected/been-had caucasian husbands. For you to "self-proclaim" that Filipinos are "patriotic" slanders the contributions of true Americans such as African Americans, who died building the greatest country ever to exist... Who died fighting for civil rights... Who protect it in disproportionate numbers, IN COMBAT roles! Not "In the rear with the gear" like Filipinos. All you do is "self-proclaim" everything! "We celebrate Christmas more than anywhere else! We have the most OSWs in the World! We did this...we did that..." You're always searching for respect and acknowledgement when you've done nothing for the world... And for those upset that we have a Black President, then please stay in your own god-forsaken country. You're just a country of stupid white-wanna-bees that are racist to your very own people... We don't need more racists in America, as we have the Aryan Nation and KKK. Please keep your materialistic, insecure, racist, corrupt, gold-digging whore citizens in your own country. Being in America doen't make you an American, card-carrying or not! What have you contributed? Nothing! Kakatuwa kayo..mantakin nyo, mas matindi pa mga balitaktakan nyo dito ke'sa mga Kano!
Tsk, kakabit talaga bituka natin sa 'Merika... ha ha ha! AY NAKU!!!! MAGSITIGIL NGA KAYU!!!MAPUTI MAN O MAITIM PAREHO LANG YON!!!MAY TANGA MAY MATINO KATULAD NINYONG LAHAT!!!! O ANO LALABAN KAYO!!!!
Regardless of race or religious affiliation (there was a youtube video where Obama himself said "Sen Mc Cain doesn't talk about my muslim faith...." and the media person who was interviewing him corrected him & said "you mena christian faith?") Obama is less qualified than Mc Cain to be president because he only have less than a year as a senator. Obama doesn't have enough experience to lead the country. Hi is charismatic, and a good orator, but other than that, he has very little under his belt. he voted "present" 100 times in the senate - meaning he neither voted yes/no. If as a senator he cannot even make a stand, how then can he lead a nation? He will just become a puppet by his party.
Mccain will suprisingly win the election. I believe that a BRADLEY effect will take its course and change the result of the election. Polls is incorrect because of this BRADLEY effect.
People are just saying on POLLS they would vote for OBAMA just to avoid being called a RACIST. But they would vote with Mccain on Election Day! I think Americans are not desperate enough to let a very experienced politician and leader like Mccain loose this election. Experience would be a big advantage when your facing a crisis like this. Frankly if I was the voter, it is not the right time to make let an unexperienced person lead the most powerful nation. But then again that's just me. Obama as senator hasn't proven anything. At least I believe he hasn't gotten enough time to prove something because he is not a senator long enough to make a mark on the Senate. McCain would be more logical choice at this moment in time. Bradley effect will win this election. as a Filipino-American and a republican and most of all, as someone who makes over $250K a year, i do not agree with the "spread the wealth" BS that the Obama camp has come to use as their financial strategy to revive the economy. i work hard and i chose to be away from my kids to make this money. spread the wealth? so 35-45% of my income can be taken from me and given out as dole outs to "less fortunate" folks? forget that. we all have choices here and i choose to work hard and earn my money the right way, not the obama way. im not even talking about the blacks who historically are more of the moochers/welfare recipients but all the folks (including Filipinos) that would rather stand for hours to get food stamps and wait for their welfare checks. this fake will lead this country to its doom if he gets elected. other than ignorant people and actors in Hollywood, there are really not a whole lot of people who make more than $250K a year who will support obama.
yah!!!! vote for mccain!!! yah... i think that's the best idea i've ever heard... vote for mccain so that 35 to 45% of your hard earned money goes to the 720 million USD being spent daily instead of someone giving it to your "fellow"americans.
a quote from washington post..."The money spent on one day of the Iraq war could buy homes for almost 6,500 families or health care for 423,529 children, or could outfit 1.27 million homes with renewable electricity"... So... whose your daddee??? By all means, please go back to the P.I! It's gonna take taxes to dig us outta this hole that we've been put in! Who cares that you make $250K a year... I make about 80K per year, all the while down-range with terrorists around me 360 degrees so that you're idiotic ass can log on to this forum and brag about your income... There are quite a lot of Filipinos that make a lotta money in the U.S. and most of them sell their souls to do it... I've never met a nation of people so influenced by money that they'll sell their souls ASAP! I can't tell you how many Filipinos have become experts at manipulating everything in American society. Their incessant networking is used for simply one thing. Self! I can't tell you how many Filipinos rape the PX and Commissaries of everything (should have seen them during the rice price increases) to send back to the P.I. When went to go buy food, like rice, it was all gone. One 20lb bag per customer doesn't mean that you bring your 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds and have them stand in line with bags of rice, twice. No no one else can buy any... You're like locusts... Everybody hates to see you coming... Can't tell you how many "bagger" jobs at our Commissaries that would be better served going to our young dependents preparing for college go to the 70 year old Filipino immigrant grandparent that came here as another locust...
I can't tell you how many Pinoys retiring from the military try to influence doctors/physicians to "doctor" their medical records so they can get "disability"... I've never seen so many "disabled" Americans... Wouldn't really call them Americans tho... Can't tell you how many times a Filipino gets out of their BMW trying to act classy, but quickly reveals to the world that while they might own a classy car, they definitely have no class in their persona... I can't tell you how many Pinoys and Pinays enter the U.S. Armed Forces in "non-combat" careerfields... In the rear with the gear, while we bid America's do... Can't tell you how many Filipinos marry Filipinas as "contract" marriage to get them to America... We can't be the world's keeper! To Filipinos, MONEY IS EVERYTHING! That's why their country is so corrupt and why I've never seen a truly happy Filipino in America... They can never make enough money and they are always jealous of anyone that is more successful than they are... So while you brag and boast of your income, as most Filipinos do, you'll never ever feel the level of patriotism that "true" Americans feel... In essence, you'll never ever be a true American... So keep complaining because our Black President is gonna tax you... The alternative is to go back to the P.I! Do you need some help purchasing that one-way ticket?! 720 million USD.... I was refering to the daily money being spent in the Iraq war ---- money coming from taxes imposed from your hard-earned money....
Frankly speaking, i like mccain... he's a maverick. He doesn't care what other people would say. He doesn't care if his fellow republicans would be angry at him. His principles are strong and steady... BUT... and that is a big *BUT*... so long as he is living in a shadow of the worst US president the history of the universe, not even trying to deviate himself from the policies of that ugly monkey sitting in the oval office, i'd rather vote for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the next US president !!!! That for sure would end up the war in iraq in his 100 days in office !!! hahaha !!!! we are on the same page but since you are poor and will never make the money that i make, i will not even associate with your ilk. and by the way, you might be a beneficiary of the $80K in taxes that i paid last year so you are welcome. and one more thing, i did not make this money being on my back, unlike your mom who makes her living that way and making what i consider change. so does your mom call your daddy her daddy? or is it the next door neighbor? you wonder where she got that money to pay for your college tuition? so who's your daddy now? 'yatch!
wow !!! you're only paying $80K !!!! you're so lucky !!! you should be very grateful to your master BUSHwacker who imposed that much taxes on you...
Well, for me... i wouldn't bother mentioning how much i earned for last fiscal year (in the US territories) including the incomes i got fromother countries??? hmmmm... Let me think.... I don't think so... I wouldn't dare disburse it.... I don't want to belittle and hurt somebody's feelings today. It would run counter to the principles your mother always preached on me while she's on top doin' her thing... hahaha !!!! So kayong mga conservatives o mga nagpapanggap na democrats, okay na okay din sa inyo na si Palin ang maging presidente kung sakali man na maputol ang pagka-presidente ni McCain? Experience pala ha? Walang kalagim-lagim na mga kaibigan pala ha? Well, Todd Palin ay naging miembro ng alaska independence party (yun bang gustong tumiwalag sa estado unido). At yung misis niya guest speaker pa sa rally nila. Sana para naman tayo ay mayroong malalim at matalinong diskurso ay makining at magbasa muna tayo ng iba't ibang panig, hindi lang kung ano yung kumporme sa atin. Kaysa sa mag-ballroom dancing at mag-karaoke buong gabi, magsipag-chibugan at magsipag-chismisan tunkgol sa mga TNT, DH, DI na kapwa pinoy, mabuti pang gamitin natin yung oras na mag-basa, sumali sa mga gawaing civico, mag-aral at mag-aral pa, atpb. O ayan, ini-stereotype ko na ang Filipino sa mata ng mga banyaga (mahilig sa ballroom dancing, chismoso, hindi sing talino ng intsik o bombay, karamhihan mga DH sa iba't ibang sulok ng daigdig, etc.) Hindi ba pangit, nakakasakit ng damdamin, nakakainis, napakababaw, bastos. But this is precisely what people in this blog site are doing. Stereotyping. To me stereotypiing is the basest, ugliest, and most dangerous form of evaluating a person's character and intentions. I hope we could rise above our cynicisms and basic instincts.
Honestly, the Filipino is one of the most racist people in the world. And what really takes the cake is they're also one of the most sensitive when it comes to being shown in the media if its not agreeable to them. Until now, "bumbay", "beho", "egoy"... are used in daily vocabulary like anything, and even children through the magic of TV and media are taught to make fun of people who look different. I am not katutubo, and I have been called names by Filipinos even as a kid. Kalat talaga racism sa atin. Kakahiya!
Dear Howie,
Thank you for this insightful article and giving us a succint view of the election debate in the US. I am not a US citizen at hindi parin ako nakakatungtong sa Amerika sa tanang buhay ko, ako po ay OFW na sumusubaybay sa US elections because of its tremendous significance in the lives of people elsewhere beyond US Territories. I beg to disagree with one comment that Bush i.e. the US has nothing to do with current financial meltdown in Europe, on the contrary, it may in fact be the singlemost compelling reason for the collapse of financial market in many countries, Pinas included. The global economy is borderless and is no longer organized along territorial lines, if it has not dawned on many of us yet, we are now living in a highly globalized world, where when the "US sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold." From reading the comments on your article, nakakalungkot isipin na ang uri ng 'trapo politics' na umiiral sa Pinas (marahil sa Amerika din) ang ginagnamit na batayan ng ating mga kababayan sa pagpili ng susunod na presidente ng Amerika, in particular, the use of charater assasination na para bang showbiz event ang US elections..in this case of Obama, using his so-called 'friends' to assasinate his charater. So what if he is friends to certain people? What is the point of shredding his charater to pieces? hanggang sa huling hibla, ika nga. What do you gain from this debate? I do not think that these information makes your choice any better or makes you a better informed voter. On the contrary it makes one choice utterly foolish and useless. I just hope that our kababayans will look beyond these type of issues and see the bigger picture of issues that truly matters to people lives, kahit ano pang lahi ka bilang, dahil ang mga isyung ito pihadong aperktado lahat, tulad ng napipintong global economic crisis, US foreign policies, immigration and migration policies ang hindi matapos-tapos na giyera sa Irag, global warming,etc. You have a very good point in raising the issue of global effect from the US economic crisis. You're though in mentioning that the same trapo politics is being used by as a basis in determining who to vote for in the coming US elections....
It's the other way around. Philippine politics has been tailored from the US style. From gathering actress to dance macarena on the stage to spice up the crowd before the boredom-to-death speech by the candidate to the gathering of middle age-no income-pathetic supporters into a bus, providing free lunches and gift certificates. The only difference is that ďn the US, it is more "class", ""eloquent", and "honoroable"because the counting of votes are not rigged and not done by the raising of the hands. We Filipinos, as dumb as we have become already, kept on following the footsteps of US culture as if we have no identity of our own. That's the reason why a lot of us, upon arriving in the land of milk and honey suddenly morphs and becomes somebody who cannot even remember how to "mano" to your elders. Even boasting the piece-meal salary they're getting and being categorized as a middle-class citizens of US. I really feel bad for those Filipinos who brag about the goodness BIG America has brought to them, when in fact, what ever they may do or how many generations they would endure in that country, they will never be treated as equal as other americans who've been there living in the US before the declaration of US independence and perhaps whose forefathers signed the declaration of independence itself... So... Let's stop this BS and focus on other topics... Next one please mr. howiee... lol... I will always be proud that I'm 100% made and manufactured in the Philippines and Filipinos are not dumb as you refer them to be. And you cannot compare the Philippines and the US specially in politics. The Philippines have their own way of dealing with things so just respect them if you don't like it.
hoy kayong mga pinoy maging tao naman kayo, hintayin nalang natin kung sino ang susunod na pangulo ng america at supurtahan siya kasi kung aasenso ang amerika lalo na ang economiya ay makakabute para sa lahat
Colonial mentality, pinoy are racist even to other pinoys....those who wont vote for OBAMA as DUMB!
JUST REPOSTED THIS - SAPOL KAYO LAHAT!
nice opinion but one-sided. if majority of the filipinos in the US feel negative about the blacks - it is because what they see and what they actually experience IS negative about them. otherwise, why would we be so 'prejudiced' in a foreign land? it is just but human nature to associate things with another. this article only undermines the way filipinos think and typecast us as 'no better' for reacting from what we experience. it is a sad fact in this country that most of those who can hold and navigate a pen through a paper think they are better than others while consciously or subconsciously judging their own countrymen as stereotypes. i personally would vote for obama but if i have to insult or degrade my fellow filipinos for being what they are and what they prefer, then i would be no better than those racists there in US, isn't it? stupid is as stupid does. Obama maybe black (ok half-black) but I bet you 95% of his advisers are white, most of whom are fat cats themselves.
I think Obama will win, but he would only be half as effective as Bill Clinton, because Obama is very effective as a campaigner and speaker, but none of the political savvy of sleazy Bill. Yong mga racist na pinoy wag nga kayong magyabang dahil kayoy mga indios(subject,slave etc) Obama is a good man never been enslaved by any colonial power same with the muslim moros of Mindanao a proud people.

OBAMA's fake birth certificate ===================== http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12939.htm BLOG BLOG BLOG Obama's fake cerificate? coming from an israeli website... hmmm... that's funny... and that's black propaganda you knaw !!! lol
ever thought it before that birth certificates are also required when you run for the US senate? Just wondering... MGA PILIPINONG BOPOLS NA TRYING HARD MASYADO.. MAKINIG NA LANG KAYO KAY ALEX JONES. OR MAGBASA NA LANG KAYO NG BLOGS KASI ANDUN AND TUNAY NA BALITA.. HINDI PROPAGANDA AT HINDI PANG UTO SA MGA MAPUPUROL NYONG UTAK.
DEATH TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. IBOTO NYO SI OBAMA PARA MAKAUWI NA KAYO. KASI ALA NA KAYONG PAMBABAYAD SA INUTANG NYONG BAHAY DYAN. The US election is not just for the Americans. It is for the very survival of your very own way of life. People of this earth on all races, must unite for one common good. Please check this site:

Pero alam Niya ang totoo mong kulay sa loob. At yun ang dapat mong alamin kung ano iyon. Nandito ka ba sa mundo para ipairal ang hidwaan o tumulong na magkaayusan?
Sa mga Pilipinong makikitid ang pag-iisip, sa US o saan man,
Sa citizenship ni Obama. Kung hindi sya natural-born US citizen e sana hindi sya qualified tumakbo, mga tanga. Huwag umasa sa impormasyon ng mga website ng mga katulad nyong sira. Di dahil may website na ay pawang katotohanan na ang ipinagsisiwalat nila. Karagdagang katangahan ang mag-isip ng ganyan. Saka, di dahil isinilang sa labas ng US ay masama na. Kung gayon kasama na kayo roon. 'Christian' daw si McCain. Kung ang 'Christian' ay yaong nagbabanalan pero salaula naman sa gawa, di bale na. Di dahil malakas kang manalangin at kakaway-kaway ka sa pag-aawit ng Aleluya ay 'Christian' ka na. Kung mahilig kang mangondena, ang tawag dyan as fariseo at ipokrito. Ang tunay na Kristiyano ay iyong Good Samaritan. Tandaan nyo pati, si Kristo ay isang Hudyo, at mas nallalapit sa lahi at wika sa mga Arabo. Si Kristo ay hindi "Christian." Sa mga asosasyon ni Obama, tandaan nyo na si Kristo mismo ay nakihalobilo sa mga makasalanan. Ito ay itintuo rin nya sa kanyang mga disipulo. HIndi kesyo nakihalobilo ka sa mga makasalanan ay makakatulad mo na rin sila, tulad ng isip ng mga fariseo. Kung naging masama si Obama dahil sa mga asosasyon niya kailanging patunayan ito at siyasatin ang rekord nya, mga ungas. Sa ngayon ay wala ni katiting na katibayan laban sa kanya. Kung asosasyon lang ang pag-uusapan ay kawawa naman ang mga pari at ministro na nagmiministeryo sa bilangguan, dahil lagi nilang kapiling ang mga kriminal. Kawawa rin si McCain dahil sa asosasyon nya kay keating at kay Sarah Palin na sumusuporta sa mga nais ihiwalay ang Alaska sa US. Mga Pinoy at Itim. Totoong may sama ng loob ang IBANG (hindi lahat) mga itim sa mga Asyano. Pero di nito itinatago ang realidad na white racism ang mas dominante. Ito ang primerong kaaway sa Amerika. Bagamat ayaw nating magkaroon ng alitan sa pagitan ng anumang lahi, dapat kilalanin natin ang primerong uri ng rasismo. Sa mga makikitid ang utak, hindi ito malinaw. Makitid nga mag-isip eh. Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Naging maluwag ang imigrasyon sa Amerika mula sa lahat ng bansa, dahil sa batas na ito. Bago nyan ay mga taga-Europe lang ang pinapaboran. Dahil sa Civil Rights Act ng 1964, na ipinagbawal ang Segregation at Racial Discrimination, kinailangan na rin baguhin ang batas sa imigrasyon upang maging patas na rin sa mga lahi. Kung hindi sa Civil Rights movement na pinangunahan ng mga itim ay wala sana ang karamihan ng mga Pilipino sa US. WALA NA RIN SANA ANG MGA MAKIKITID ANG UTAK NA NAGMAMAGALING DAW MAG-INGLES, MGA BOPOL NAMAN. Take that you racist perverts! Join your ilk in the Deep South and don your hoods and burn those crosses. Kung tatanggapin nila kayo. Take note, blacks are racist too. And if you argue that Obama's birth certificate is not a fake one, why then in the first place he won't show the original. And if you further argue that Obama is not a muslim then the full name should be "Barry Dunham". So shut your mouth and don't lecture me on your twisted facts. Show proof of your arguments.
HOW PATHETIC!!!ikaw ang makitid utak!!! OBAMA is LYING 90% of the fact even to his website. Pls. do your Homework!!! Obama is a member of commmnist party & wants to do it in America! pls check it out!
Since lumaki si Obama sa Hawaii, malapit siya sa mga pinoy.
We don't need another Bush in McCain. We need Obama to save America and bring back the jobs to Americans. Our economy will always suffer if we don't bring back manufacturing jobs. geez, parang nakakahiya nang magcomment dito... I've read TIME's October 13 ish. According to Joe Klein, "He (Obama) just lambasted Mccain quietly... He is the least angry man." Ang hirap basahin ang utak niya, ika nga.
Who am I to tell whom I'm in favor of? though I'm in legal age, di naman ako American citizen. I'm voting Obama this November.
Mccain is not any different from Bush and Palin is too incompetent. Bush won with the slightest margins in U.S. presidential elections history. Ano ngayon masabi ng mga conservative christians na tumulong magluklok kay W muli sa pwesto nung '04? The U.S. economy is in crisis at sino may pananagutan? Ngayon sisisihin ni Mccain ang congress for that, kaya pag nagkalat siya as president sisisihin nya rin uli ang legislative bodies pag dating nga araw. America is sick and tired of Bush, any candidate you pit against his party's candidate will surely win hands down. Not that Obama is a poor choice. 7 1//2 years of George Bush
TO ALL MY FRIENDS and Family....LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE........FYI only. George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago: 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%. 4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 + 5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!... But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR: 1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ; 2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!; 3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase); 4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping; 5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. 6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~ $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ... REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS. AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!! JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND? Jun -Well done, I couldn't say it any better!
It is a known fact that the cause of this economic meltdown is the colloapse of the financial institutions, i.e. commercial banks, investment banks and mortgage services, who were burdened with billions of dollars worth unserviceable mortgages financed through sub-prime rate. When mortgage holders started to default on their payments due to the rise in interest, the value of the banks/lenders real estate portfolio were devalued drastically. When one of the biggest commercial bank in California declared bankruptcy, followed by Countrywide Mortgage, then the takeover of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac by the Feds, now we are experiencing the tsunami effect of thefinancial meltdown. That is the result, but most important of all is the cause of this mess. Pres. Carter and congress, then controlled by Democrats, signed the the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), the core of which is for banks to take a closer look in the community that they're serving and institute policies to make mortgage and business loans more accessible. President Clinton expanded the program and HUD Secretary Cuomo instituted an affirmative action plan wherein the lending industry are mandated to have quota that targeted the minorities. To ensure that the lending institutions complies with this mandate, ACORN deployed their members in various cities, using direct action tactics to intimidate the institutions, who in turn lowered their lending standards to meet the quota. Enter Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, quasi-government financial institutions, buying the mortgage-backed securities. Fannie Mae's former CEO Frank Raines manipulated the institution accounting procedures that inflated its earnings and profits to the tune of billions of dollars. In 2005 Pres. Bush repeatedly warned and sent memos to Congress and Sen. McCain co-sponsored a bill with a stricter oversight on Fannie & Freddie, all ignored by the Democrat Congress. Obama was hired to train ACORN staff and its future leaders. The Democrats, lead by Pres. Carter, Pres. Clinton, HUD Sec. Cuomo, Treas. Sec. Rubin, were directly involved in enacting laws and its enforcement that was the breeding ground of this debacle. Frank Raines, Johnson, Hudson are Obama's current chief advisers in his presidential campaign. You decide, is it Obama and the Dems or is it Bush and the Reps? This people who are for OBama--watch too much TV!!!!They dont realize how BIAS they are except FOX News. Pls do your homework! I agree with one guy saying a republican President is good for the Philippines esp. for FREE TRADE!
Also, once Obama get into office first thing he do is to legalize abortion-funded by taxpayers money--how pathetic!!! The war in terror is very important issue! I came from a small town in the Philippines, 10 yrs. ago you cant even see single muslims, now so many. Obama will get the money from the oil reach country & forget about the terrorist like Jimmy carter did! This guy is a liar he cant even admit he's connection w/ Bill Ayers who wrote his book--ghost writer, Obama is no writer at all. in fact his first book, is not really good! Bill Ayer is a very, very good writer & one of the author who invetsigate his book says theres alot of similarities in using word & sentences. Bill Ayers wrote alot og books. Worst than that is his pastor Jeremiah wright---who is an American Hater! Ive seen the movie OBSESSION this one is about the same--pls click the link http://www.terrorismawareness.org/know-about-jihad/ why is it that people and the media keep on saying that just because one person will not vote for obama, one is racist. or he is a victim of "white racism." but if you look at the demographics of black voters, 95% of them are voting for obama because he's black!
or just because some people including pinoys who are not voting for barack, the automatically are racists. there's a big the difference between some people who think they know the answer to everything as to the people who discern the issues and decides according to his/ her conscience. for people who never lived in the US, it's easy for you to say because of romantic notions that it's about time that an african- american should become president in white america. or so you think blacks considering from where they came from are not racist? fyi, they're more racists than whites in my experience. if you work in an all black facility or company, you'll know what i'm talking about. they;re also lazy fat arse workers and are actually taking advantage of the US government and white people's guilt. they claim social security rather than work yet they buy all those air jordan shoes like there's no tomorrow. the real hard workers in the US are the Latinos or the eastern europeans (whites), they would do the dirty jobs without question. you seldom see blacks doing construction and other menial jobs. they have in them a sense of entitlement to ask for everything on a silver platter without working hard for it or to be given a pass just because their forefathers were treated badly and they don;t even pay their taxes. they're not as what many people who never have experience interacting nor working with them think they are. also, if i will not vote for obama it's because of issues, because of his penchant for double- talk and i am not racist. if you are aware of the filipino veterans bill in the US senate, you'll know that obama issued some glowing press release and yada- yada about the heroism of the pinoy veterans last july 4th. but in reality he absconded on his promise to vote for the bill earlier because he was somewhere campaigning for a nomination that he already clinched the week before. hillary clinton took a time out fr her campaign trail and voted for the bill but barack was absent when it's his time to cast his vote for a bill that he promised to support. Idiot! No one was harder working than the African American! The white indentured servant was found lacking of the necessary strength and endurance, so they tried to enslave the Native Americans, who refused to be enslaved and fought back furiously. Enter the African American! The only human strong enough to withstand the super-human, sometimes fatal work ethic that it took to build the greatest country ever to exist! If you watched "CNN Black in America" you would know that a white man having served in prison for felonies has a better chance of getting hired than a black man with no criminal background and 2 degrees! Unfortunately, many blacks have succumbed to this relegation and accepted it, in essence, giving-up since it's apparent they'll never be equal to whites anyway. But not all... Not I!
For hundreds of years blacks worked their asses off only to be told that they would never be equal. No immigrant, not Asian, Latino, European etc... possesed the work ethic that blacks did. You can only fight for so long until you give up! Filipinos and other immigrants have it easy because all of the fighting has been done by blacks! They built this country amidst getting raped, castrated, hung, amputated, whipped etc... They fought corageously and died for civil rights.... They protect this country in disproportionate numbers! Yes, illegal hispanics now work their asses off because they work for meager "undercutting" wages with no taxes being paid and all of that money being sent back to their country. While we taxpayers foot the bill for inundated schools and emergency rooms. Hell no! you gotta draw the line somewhere! The "haves" are putting national security at risk for the "have-nots!" I love how ignorant "wanna-be" Americans not knowing jack about American History try to label the builders of America, when they have never lifted a finger to assist. I take immense pride in being a decendant of the race that built America, not some Johnny Come Lately that knows nothing of America. This is OUR country! WE built it, not you! Again, I'm PROUD to be BLACK, unlike Filipinos, the #1 consumer of skin-whitening products on the planet... I have nothing against whites, as I'm part white... I just have a problem with Pinoys rebuking their status as "people of color" and futher slandering anyone that has "tone" in their skin... You're no different than the Aryan Nation and KKK.... President Barack Obama, Michael Jordan, Muhammed Ali, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Hank Aaron, Jim Brown, Martin Luther King, Colin Powell, Condeleeza Rice, Beyonce, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, W.E.B. Dubois, George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglas...too many to name... All proud of their heritage and color... Something the Filipinos need to learn from... Good afternoon, it is very shit guestbook.
I am from Britain and also now teach English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "Some vanity cabinets enable you to install way mirrors, which is ideally for family rooms." Thank you very much Wow , Its amazing the comments im reading on this thread. Just first let me say I AM A REAL BLACK MAN. After traveling to the Philippines over 7 times im amazed at the ignorance of many pinoy in the US. Maybe its the American way that changes them and being around many white racist here that does it.
Meeting Filipinos in the Philippines who are of dark skin and also of the lighter skin there i notice the so called undertone class differents. But its strange to read so many Filipinos in this country to have such a negative out look on Black Americans as they do. If you would understand the history of this country and the plight of Black people and also Native American you may see that any negativity of our race is and has always been created to keep the race from achieving any positive outlook. Its funny how Pinoys in the country have such a negative view of Obama and what he can do for this country but how many of you make an afford to reach back to your own country and help the people and family members starving from high prices being aflicted by the so called lighter skinned Pinoy running the country. Is the Pinoy in the US living the so called American dream that the white man has lied to you about that you think it would make you accepted by them much more important. Having a good Filipino friend and having Filipinos who actually worked under me on my team i notice that some worked harder then others but some were just plain trying to get over. It didnt matter how dark they were or how light there skin was. How strange is it that theres such negativity from those from a country where they still sell products that have skin whitener in it because so many want to look like that so called white hero.So before you pull out all the negetive things youve been told or even saw make sure you look beyond whats in front of you and get to know the people and not to what youve been told by the white racist. wow, it shows how ignorant you are and should better stick to the issues. btw, pinoys are not the only ones doing the "skin whitening' craze. if you;re a real black man which i doubt you are, you better spend some time in the hood man.
most of the pinoys who commented on these are sharing their views based on their experiences and not taught or implied by other people whether they're black or white. they are not made up. they are real. we work with both blacks and whites and latinos and we know who are the free-loaders and slackers first hand. that's why when i say, Latinos and Eastern Europeans are hardworking people, i'm saying this based on my experience. if you have a different exp then so be it but i will stand with what i have seen and experienced. and i am telling you i am not biased nor racist in this case for i am just stating what is a fact on my side of the fence. Well i am a Real black man and as for the Latinos working construction jobs most likely are illegal and thats becoming a known fact. I remeber yrs ago before the explosian of illegals your majority of contruction workers were Black and white but now theres people who will work for less and also without insurrance and thats who theses companies rather have.Theres nothing wrong with not wanting to be at the bottom.All ethnic groups push thier children to be all they can be.As for all Black folk voting for Obama i voted for Hillary but i would never vote for Mcain because i dont think hes right for the country now. Theres too many problems needed to be fix and hes not the one to do it. Im not sure where your working but if you have lazy people working with you maybe you need to check your company policy and supervisors and get it fixed im sure its not because the person is fat and black but just because hes lazy. That sounds like a work problem and you generalized it. This is why i said you need to look beyond whats in front of you and get to know the people ( and i mean all the people) not just one person.
Why these vermits hate black race??? Maybe they are just so narrowminded or perhaps closeminded already...
... or is it just because they're just jealous that you guys pack so much meat??? hahaha !!!! lol !!! I understand your point, but please remember, Filipinos, were subjected to the same kind of negativity too. But like you, some blacks and some Filipinos managed to come out of that negativity and be succesful and kick some white a..
I understand the struggle, and I understand that some will by choice or not, never come out of the negativity but that the fact of life. Latinos, same thing, same persecution same struggle, some are good workers, some are not. Some just, have babies and collect welfare and pray not to get deported, some are real immigrants. Just curious, as a black person do you distinguish the Black americans with the ancestry of the original slaves, from the immigrant Black skinned people that comes from let's say Jamaica/Carribean, or from Africa. The black basketball player used to dominate the NBA, now there are a lot of European whites, is this an issue among black americans, would they eventually cry discrimination and prevent NBA teams from getting white European players. Get real, Filipino as a Race as a Nation still incompetent and can't compete with the white anglos. Filipinos can't even compete with the Korean, Chinese and Japanese. Get over it and accept it We are one of those inferior race. Just look at how our country is run...Helloooo!
Back in Carlos P Garcia era, Philippines is next to Japan when it comes to economic power, many of the still living OLDS can attest to that. During those times, foreigners came in not as tourist but to work.
And also during those times when our Dear Pres. Carlos P. Garcia's Filipino First Policy' gaining popularity among the masses, in the US a propaganda is also in the making, branding Carlos P. Garcia as communist, an enemy of US, because his policy did not patronize US interests nor succumb to American pressure which is to go easy on US interest and open our economy to FREE TRADE just like what we have today. Eventually, he lost the seat to Diosdado Macapagal, during his term Filipino First Policy was reversed and that began the fall of our economic power. The point here is that we are a great nation, we can even be number 1 provided we have a good leader that will protect and preserve our interest as Filipinos. It is the POLICY that makes us incompetent, poor, inefficient........ You are right, Filipinos back then where good, even now they are, we have thousands of skilled nurses all around the globe, engineers and skilled laborers around the world (okay mostly- middle east).
But I heard also that in Greece, the term "pinay" means a domestic helper, a slap in our face. Why did that happen? Because that is how they see us, that is how we presented ourselves. While the black people were forced into slavery, we are presenting ourselves to it. so as the black people struggles to present themselves not as slaves, it will be up to our own race to present ourselves as not inferior. We can be what we want to be, the white race, just thought they were superior. But its not the fault of the white people to think they were superior, they were roaming around the world in well tailored outfits with muskets and cannons, they will encounter and see native people from other lands naked or barely wearing anything with wooden spears, they found themeselves lacking in physical strength but superior in technology, they used and abused. I'm sure Genghis Khan felt he was the superior when he slaughtered his way from Asia all the way to Europe. EG, i think you missed the point, when the existing POLICY does not protect your economy the result is self explanatory. What is wrong with being a maid, maids do manual labor and the fruit of it is always sacred or beautiful, the creation of building, bridges, airplanes .... were done thru manual labor, so in your perspective those were done by inferior individual/race.
There was once a story where in a President of a country bow down to his gardener whom turn out to be his master in a brotherhood, neither of the two is superior nor inferior it is just your perspective.IN encyclopedia Britanica, Filipinas are also branded as MAID, well they just showed how less intelligent they are, they are ignorant of the fruit of manual labor.In the end we are still superior if that's your argument, because Filipinos will/can always find a way in a given situation. Actually my point is, every person can be superior and inferior, when I say Filipinos subject ourselves to sevitude, I didn't mean to say because we are inferior, or there is something wrong with that. I'm just saying the perception will be that way. Because I am just being a realist. I can even say that we can be superior maids, than other races, because Filipinos are hospitable and symphatetic.
Superior, inferior, this can change at any given time. Like the black people, some white and brown people suffer here too unable to come up from their found or subjected inferiority, but that doesn't mean that people who are not in their level are superior beings, they are just in a superior position. it is just the matter of the situation you find yourself into. So, white, black, brown, or whatever race can be perceived as superior or inferior depending on how they present themselves and depending on the person making the comment. I am not exactly into politics, I'm not even a real blogger, but the branding of Filipinos in the original article by Howie just caught my attention. Because, it is clear that he is for Obama, and whatever his reason is, he should not make a generalization of Filipinos here in the US. The plain truth of Howie's article is this simple; "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BRANDED AS RACIST EDUCATED FILIPINOS VOTE FOR OBAMA". all the comments, branding or whatever, on a political candidate has nothing to do with the real issue of racism. In politics everybody will say or use anything to win, and it goes both ways, you can project yourself as the victim, or you can go on the attack. Politics is dirty, it is not honest and is brutal. I think that you're blaming the white Americans for being racist. Is it not that by saying that you're making a racist statement against white people? By saying that white people are racist, is it not that you are making a racist statement against white people? In your article, it seemed that when you quote criticisms against Obama from other people, you immediately come to conclusion by linking it to racial discrimination. If I charge Obama for example that he is evil and has a muslim blood, do I mean that I'm attacking his race being black?
I think you're article is biased. I found it not only biased but irrational in many respects. Just a food for thought mga kabayan.
I grew up in Pinas but I lived here in L.A. since I was 22... 29 years ago. My family been active in politics both in Pinas and here in the States but when choosing for a public servant I do not vote for a candidate because of his party affiliation but rather for a candidate himself. Moreover, hindi ako naboto sa kandidato dahil siya'y kamag-anak ko, kaibigan ko, kakilala ko o kapwa ko Filipino. But merely based on the integrity, experience, and most of all, I thought would be a good leader of my community. Honestly, about race, yes I consider myself a racist... but a racist based on my personal experienced with the people involved in my life experiences. Di ba nagalit ang maraming Pinoy doon sa Desperate Housewives episode na binibili daw ang diploma sa atin? At di ba maraming Pinoy ang nagalit sa foreigner na artista noon ng magsyoting sila sa Manila at sinabi na Manila smells like a dead rat daw? Let me ask you mga kabayan, hindi ba totoo naman ang sinabi nila? Pero bakit marami sa atin ang nagalit? We should know better mga kabayan. We must know how to handle the truth para maayos natin ang bad impression ng ating bansa sa mata ng mga dayuhan. Moreover, honestly, I am scared to death when I see black people that I don't know. Feeling ko kase most of them are bad people, based on my personal experienced with them. Hihingi ng pera sa yo, magbebenta ng mga nakaw na gamit, tinatakot ka through words or gestures... yes, it happened to me folks. Plus the fact na percentage-wise, blacks often commit a crime compared to any other ethnic groups. At oo, feeling ko nga mas racist tayong mga Pinoy eh towards blacks. Almost everytime na may masamang pangyayari mga igoy agad ang nasa isip natin ang may kagagawan. Pero sa tingin ko naman ang pinakamayabang ethnic group sa mundo ay mga Filipino... grabe! Anong say ninyo mga kabayan? Suggestion lang po, this blog is about choosing the right candidate for U.S. elections. In a free world, we are allowed to agree and disagree. As one philosopher once said, " I may not agree with what you said but I will defend to death your right to say it". Respeto lang po dahil ginawa po tayo ng Diyos na may sariling pag-iisip. And that's what make the world so interesting to live.. di ba masaya? -- peace on earth! People must be looking on the general aspect then corroborate with the specifics happening.
Whoever wins, still there will be problems as change is a constant thing. Please look at the bigger and wide perspectives. It does not mean that if someone has so many promises and plans, he definitely is good. It is just like an outline, you create a general topic then breaks it down with specifics. If you really want to know what the possible outcome would be should the person who you really want wins, then think and do a little homework hundred times. That person must have a holistic approach in life. The end does not justify the means. Let's examine the term "Filipino Racism"
I can say that your reference to "Filipino", that is racist in itself. Why are you identifying us Filipinos when racism is everywhere, when I read your headline, it only says one thing you are racist. but if I follow the point you are trying to make, you claim to be one of the non-racist educated Filipinos. You also used the term white americans and you refer to their level of education, so that is being biased. I believe it is not your intention to ridicule your own race, but you sincerely believe that because Filipinos were subjected to oppression by foreigners we are going to be racist or biased. Reality check, the Spaniards have been gone since 1898, generations of Filipinos have now been educated, are you trying to tell me those Spaniards still influences me to be racist. All race, all individuals, have preferences, this is instinc it is natural and humanity can spend their final second in this world trying to changed these things because that is also natural for us. Let me point out another issue here in the US "same sex marriage". Would you like to comment on that without sounding sexist. In the Philippines there is always a reference to a particular region a Filipino comes from, Ilokano, Tagalog, Cebuano, Waray etc. and there is always something attached to being from one region or another, Ilokano's are supposed to be thrifty, Waray's are supposed to be feisty, If you prefer a person from one region it could be because you are counting that the person has retained those traits, it is being racist but it is also being instinctive, is there something wrong with that. do you belittle people who act on their instinct, you are right education is supposed to changed all that, but nope, education just gives you another avenue in which to base a decision. The point is when referring to an individual, they will be defined by their race, sex, nationality, etc. and whatever we have picked up that is associated with them. And for most part education tries to teach us otherwise; but from our birth, we associate certain things with colors, shape, smell, etc. - red is hot, blue is cool, white is clean, black is dirty, white is empty, black is full, round is fat, rectangle is thin. Fragrant is good, fould smell is bad. Would every person of the same color be the same, NO, some will be worst some will be better. If I choose Obama, did I pick him because he is better or did I pick him because he is black, If I pick McCain, did I because I believe he is better or is it because he is white. The answer will depend on he is making the judgement, Obama supporters believe in him, so does McCains in him also, and no matter what decision I make, it could be viewed either way. What color of car do you have? Tell me, when you bought your car what influenced your decision? do you have dog?, What breed is it? You choose a particular breed bcause they have traits you like? Case closed. We are all racist, we are humans! there is nothing wrong with that. I am voting for my John McCain dahil sarado Republican ako. Kung si Obama tumatakbo as Republican syempre sya ang iboboto ko.
nice topic, if dito ginawa yan i'd be casting my vote to Obama coz i like Newbie, for me McCain is a Trapo
I just wonder why Filipinos are DEFENSIVE when it comes to BOMBARDING THE FILIPINOS RACE.
Bakit hindi ba totoo kung bisaya ako bisaya ang tawag ninyo sa akin king Ilocano ako KURIPOT AKO!! kung tiga batangas mag al eh na tayo. kung muslim ako terrorista ako. My God Filipinos wake up don't be sensitive. p The Black Americans are still being killed, under paid, racial profiling, and the list goes and one and one. We are all colored people even the color white is in the crayola box. Jesus loved all the children,all the children of these world:Brown and yellow,black and white,red and gray Jesus loved them all.
Whoever win,i am sure it is according to God´s will and we people should respect our leaders and support them. Gayahin nyo na lang kami,we don´t vote for no one,we let fates the one decides who should win but unfortunately we too equally divided 2 for McCain and 2 for Obama,so for now only God can decide which one of them going to win. If it is possible to have two president,McCain for republicans and Obama for democrats then it would be better,then the 50 states could be divided into two states as a whole,the 25 states for republicans and the other 25 states for democrats. I think it would be amazing if USA would be lead by two president,what do you think bloggers? I always admire people of faith.
but as far as I know "God" or "Jesus" or however you want to address them is not a registered US voter, so I don't think they can decide the outcome of this election, or would they lay their divine hand to settle politics, there is a separation of church and state, I'm not religious but I think in the new testament, somebody wrote that Jesus said give to Ceasar what is to Ceasar, and give to God what is to God. Again, I respect people of faith, but please, saying there should be two presidents one for democrats, one for republicans, are you trying to insight Civil War, as if you don't realize that this election is already getting too racial. Please just hold on to your faith and pray, if it helps you get through the day and night. i didn´t meant to ignite a civil war but in case there will be a tie scored of the election´s result wouldn´t it be possible to have two president at the same time?
By the way,being husband and wife is one sided decision is appropriate for you?It is much better if both of you decide before having it approved. I see no reason for having two president and if that would be a good idea the problem in Philippines politics would be solved as well let say a president for opposition and a president for administration as you see we have both of them had different agenda but has same political interest. Anyway no matter how people tried to have only one leader to follow,there is always another one wanted to govern...so in that case the people has to choose between the two,which leader they want to follow...but that could make USA become two nation just like what happened to SK and Nokor. Well,just imagine that could happened as change happened anytime,anywhere. Family, as far as I remember is the basic unit of society.
You mentioned, husband and wife, but they don't always agree, that's why they fight, there are separtaions, divorce, homicide and murder, infidelity, etc. okay, republicans and democrats, North and South, Union and Confederates, that's why they fight. If there is no one leader, there will be chaos. Even for a family to function, either the husband follows the wife, or the wife follows the husband, they can talk about things, but still only one would dcide and lead. Anyone can call another person a racist, perhaps mainly because of what he or she has acquired to learn about another person's ethnicity. But, with out a doubt, an acquired "mis informed judgment" on the person's ability to think on what could be construed as biased and derogatory.
Let's back tract a little bit here. In the 1600's, when most of the blacks were brought to the americas by the dutch and first settled in virginia to work as slaves on farmlands, people used to to think of these people as the next best thing to being an "ape", and they actually think of them as the descendants of apes. I think these was just the time when the "n" word started by the americans. And it started to culminate from here on then that "african american" race are good only for one thing, being a "slave" to just about anything that you could imagined. These same people that we used to call "niggers" have suffered tremendously in the past as nothing but a victim of a horrendous circumstance in the new world. It was only now that at this day and age that we are beginning to realized that all of us have been subjected to the same humiliation of what have become of them. When you hear some one who is white and calling a black person a "nigger", he or she is actually "bringing down" that person to the level of what he or she is supposed to be. However, when a black person calls another black person a "nigger", he or she was just "acknowledging" the fact that both of them were in one way or another a descendants of "slavery". And he was just reminding that person to be aware all the time of the white people around them. Sure, there are actually black people who dislike seeing a different race around them to the extent that they are "weary" of them, you're probably gonna asked why? Well, for one thing, in a scale of one to five. The likelihood of an employer or a company hiring a "black" person would be just about half of a percentage point. This was just one of the many reasons why most african american look at asians as one who always gets the job because, most asians will undoubtedly will have a college or university degree. Filipinos are not racist, it was just their way of describing a certain individual from the place where they come from. Like "japs" for japanese, "chinks" for chinese, "gooks" for vietnamese and so on and on. They no idea what they were really saying could be construed as an insult to another persons nationality. And in some respect, most minority people around the world have a preconceive idea of what they would expect of an "american caucasian". They think of them as very smart (i think not), how about being really industrious? really? I think, the worms have gotten in all of us in one way or another. Just a thought. Alundio, The mark of a maturing civilization is people's ability to judge individuals by their character and not by the color of their skin. Of all people, Filipinos should know this to be evident from our experiences of being discriminated against in airports and streets all over the globe. Many know Marcos to have been corrupt, but should I now be suspected of being corrupt because we belong to the same race?
I couldn't agree with you more on this one. However, the americans who happened to be the envy of most countries when it comes to having the most "sought after" structure of democracy still have some knots to tie up with. But, this doesn't have anything to do of being tagged as the champion of the human race. A t least, that's what some people would want us to believe. They have come a long way in paving the road to the termed "race less society" movement. I think, the legacy of civilization to begin with to the human race has nothing to do of what the other person would think if he or she have skin color,, but, rather, having a wrong perception when it comes to race and or ethnicity.
Hold that thought for a moment. It was indeed short of saying being humiliated in public because he or she is a "native" of the philippines is mind boggling to me. Could it be that people around the world would want to "tag" us of being uncivilized? being some kind of a "flake" just because imelda has kept in her basement more than five thousand shoes? Just like i said, to each his own. The us of a still to this day and age haven't really eliminated racism. They just sugar coated everything that has some thing to do of being polite to the other person. So, instead of saying the "N" word (nigger), they would use the termed "african american", to the fat and ugly looking person, "physically challenged", to those blind people, "visually impaired", and to those who couldn't get it up, "sexually challenged", the word impotent really takes up a whole new meaning these days. It would perhaps will take some time when people around the world would be able to meet and greet and know the other person who lives across the earth in a single flick of a switch or a "mouse" cursor just to know the people around you. I think, that would be a good idea, imagine teaching every one including your kids that they are actually were not any better than the rest of us and that, being "color blind" is alright. The white race is actually were so "envious" of us in my own observation and or opinion. It was only now that, the americans have realized our own potential as a "highly skilled", extremely educated people in a general sense of the world, that most of them are not. And, besides, who cares of what they think of us. I couldn't think of any thing either they be good or bad that we have and they don't have. Just a thought. I've been to over 55 countries, and Filipinos are the most racist people I've ever met... They desire to be white... They're the #1 consumer of skin-whitening products on the planet... They've discarded their very own heritage and culture for white culture... They marry white western men for their money, but love to get punished by men like me... I live in California and see too many Filipinas sneaking around with bruthas. The reason more Asians have degrees is because you haven't been oppressed for centuries. You didn't build the greatest country ever to exist only to be told they couldn't be equal... To be told they couldn't marry out of their race... To be told they couldn't live in a certain area. Guidance Counselors would tell young black students when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, that they couldn't be President, instead be Sanitation Workers because they pay well! After you've been told for centuries that you can never ever be equal to whites, you eventually succumb to that relegation. Even on CNN, Black In America, they documented that a white man having served jail time for felonies would get the nod over a black man with 2 degrees.
So don't brag about the ability to get an education when the only reason ANY person of color can get a decent education equal to whites is because of the many many blacks that died to secure equal rights. No Filipinos fought alongside MLK! Filipinos have done nothing for America. You're parasites and locusts. Gold-diggers and whores... Watch Roots, Men of Honor, Panthers, Glory Road, MLK and too many other historical documentaries depicting the contributions of African Americans in building and shaping America. I've never ever seen ANYTHING on any Filipinos that showed any contributions to America. But tonite, my Pinay asawa will contribute to my morale! Pray for her, that she survives yet another night of punishment by her Black prince! When it come to racism issue it will only sounds like the "chicken and egg" what comes first?
These are great topic to discuss yet very infinite and endless in its forms and meaning. Having been an expat for more than half of my life and these are based on my experience for more than 30 years working in different countries in Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America and even Africa, I could claim that us Filipinos has a quite distinct attitude and I would not say it is being racist but we just retain certain prejudices that are unique in some way. These attitudes where acquired during our upbringing. Influenced by our parents, relatives and all the people that surround us, by events and cycles of life we passed thru. Mind you I could say that all nations have almost the same prejudices as we have and we only distinct in our faith the only thing that usually binds Filipinos wherever they may be. Some of you are saying blacks are parasites, lazy, etc. But in realm they were only made to be such, railroaded to be exact. They are also like us proud and standing tall when they have had achieved something in life. In reality being very vocal and somewhat pretending to be always a victim, I find it to be their only defensive mechanisms in battling for survival. And they are used to cut corners and whether you accept it or not we do the same someway somehow. The only difference is we really care, sometimes it doesn't matter if we spend a little more time to finish the job and we tend to be happy always of good results for it gives us self satisfaction, maybe all other else feel the same, we are not sure really. I don’t care who wins in the US election they are all the same to me white, blacks or even he or she is green, whatever. And for all my kababayans who are all trying their very best infighting with this theme blog. Please don’t we are all the same Homo sapiens after all. Wherever you are integrate do not assimilate. Di ko na binasa lahat kasi umiinit lang ulo ko. At nalulungkot lang ako. Parang wala nang mabuti sa mundong ito. Kahit saan ako pumunta, kahit saan ako tumingin, kahit anong mabasa ko, kahit anong marinig ko, lahat na lang masama. Lahat na lang negatibo. Ang hirap talaga mabuhay sa mundong ito. Dami mong kailangan kalabanin. Puwede bang magtago na lang ako sa kuwarto at tumitig sa kawalan. Ang lungkot na ganito ang nararamdaman ko.
"SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS and I will show you what kind of person you are." -> Sa tingin ko: If you know all of his friends, then we can really tell what kind of person he is. By the way, what is the definition of a friend? I can say someone is my friend, but jeez man, that doesn't mean he/she affects how I decide? What if our differences are what makes us friends? Isn't that possible? I've had friends in college/high school whose lifestyles I didn't agree with because they were wasteful and useless. I also didn't agree with their families, because some of them came from "notorious" political families. They're my friends because we have some things in common and we have differences that we can learn from. I don't think we should judge people based on their affiliations. Because if that is so, then the whole world and the Philippine society would go down the drain. Lahat tayo affiliated with an idiot or a radical, or some butthead. Aminin niyo na, unless nasa kuwarto lang kayo buong buhay niyo, then fine, you're the silliest exception there is. I don't mind that Obama is somehow connected to these domestic terrorists. Sabi nga nila, keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. And at least, alam niya kung ano iniisip nila, mas madali mag-anticipate ng gulo. Di ba? Hehehe. Issue on race -> sa tingin ko: I've been abroad for less than a year now. And I've been traveling around for more than two years now, but I can still say that I am a whole lot of racist. I am racist, but the fact of the matter is, I've accepted it and I know why I am one. I used to think everyone was racist, and sometimes I still think that. When something happens to me at work, my mind quickly jumps to the conclusion that it might be a racist thing. But, now I've learned to stop and tell myself that it might only be my perception of how things are, because that is the reality I want to believe in. Minsan gusto ko lang ng scapegoat. Gusto ko lang isipin na meron dapat masamang tao sa kuwarto. At yung ang instinct ko eh. Hindi okay na instinct yun. Sa tingin ko, hindi tamad ang mga African-Americans sa Estados Unidos. They're just misunderstood. (hahaha, parang yung kapatid natin na hindi katulad ng mga kaklase niya. Siguro magulo sa klase.) Isipin niyo, kung bumalik kayo sa Pilipinas at nakita niyo yung mga taong nanggagancho, o yung mga taong nakatambay lang sa kanto at umiinom. Puwede nating sabihin na tamad sila, at puwede naman nila tigilan ang mga ginagawa nila. Pero kailangan ba talaga natin gawin ito? Sa tingin niyo hindi nila alam yun? Sa tingin niyo gusto rin nila yung nangyayari sa kanila? Sa tingin ko lang iba-iba talagang gumawa ng desisyon ang mga tao. Maraming masipag na Pinoy abroad, pero hindi ibig sabihin dapat mababa ang tingin natin sa mga local na hindi maayos ang buhay o medyo iba sa atin, kasi IBA sila eh! Ganun eh. Iba talaga sila. Tulungan na lang natin diba. If all else fails, then we can say that we tried. Turn the other cheek. Tama na ang pag-iisip na destructive. Ang gulo at ang lungkot na nga ng mundo, dadagdagan pa natin ang gulo at lungkot. At sa ibang issue na Arab, Muslim, etc si Obama: -> sa tingin ko: Ano ngayon? When did it ever become a bad thing to be Arab/Muslim? Not that he is. And so what if his Mom is Atheist and his Dad is Muslim. Last I heard, it's a free country. If you ran for class president in a Middle Eastern school where your classmates are mostly muslim, and they wouldn't vote for you because you're Catholic. Hindi ba't ang sakit at medyo masama? Dahil lang dun? Alam kong medyo simplistic ang mga argumento ko. Maraming bagay ang dapat isipin at ipasok sa usapan. Pero yun na nga eh. Kaya tayo maraming problema kasi ang dami nating pinapasok sa usapan. Ang komplikado maging "adult" sa mundong ito. Lahat na lang komplikado. Simple lang dapat yan eh. If I were American, I would vote for Obama. Why? Because I've heard McCain's plan and I've heard Obama's plan. I've read a lot of books, magazines, articles online, opinions, I've even watched different news channels, videos, but in the end, I believe more in what Obama's offering for America that what McCain is offering. My dad would want to vote McCain. I still love my Dad, but I wish he'd change his mind. Pero ang malungkot eh, he shares the same sentiments as some of the people here who would probably vote for McCain. We're of the same blood, studied in the same university, lived in the same house, loves the same people, but we still don't make the same choices. Ganun talaga. Life. It's so f*cking complicated. Get over it. i dont care if obama is black. but since he have a shady past history of being with radicals influence it scares me,besides all those people sorrounding him are those people that put this market down the drain, by loaning unqualiffied buyer of mortgeges buy their homes.;THAT INCLUDINF HIM OBAMA was only earning $37,ooo/ year and was able to buy a house more than a million HOW ON EARTH DID THIS HAPPEN?????????????? NOW FELLOW filipinos wake up ..... just think what will happen .... so with our safety if it happen that he get his advice from radicals / association
ajt, That happened because Obama wrote a damn good book, then got a hefty advance for his next one. Sounds like an honest way to buy a nice house.
With so many racist comments from filipinos, I guess if Obama wins you all will be going home to the Philippines, right?
Dear Phd Black, That's about as likely as racist whites going back to Europe. The best hope is that Filipinos who are racist, including those who made incendiary comments in this blog, will see the light. I suspect that with Obama's impending victory, that process is already happening. Everyone loves a winner. ; )
sorry sir howie but i believe you know the BRADLEY EFFECT or WILDER EFFECT...sana lumabas ang KATOTOHANAN na MARXIST si OBAMA at SANA MANALO si McCAIN para sa KABUTIHAN ng BUONG MUNDO.
SPREAD THE WEALTH TO EVERYBODY sagot niya kay JOE THE PLUMBER na MANG PANDOY ng PINAS. DAMING LIBERAL sa NEW YORK pero hindi nakakasiguro si OBAMA sa mga CLINTONS. iba ang NAKIKITA sa NABABALITAAN lamang sa CABLE o INTERNET. TANGING FOXNEWS na lang ang BALANSENG ISTASYON dito na may DEMOCRAT at REPUBLICAN sa kanilang mga PROGRAMA samantalang sa MSNBC parang OBAMA HEADQTRS at ganun din ang CNN. MARAMING PINOY dito na alam ang PROPAGANDA ni OBAMA na malakomunista sa panahon ni MARCOS. JEREMIAH WRIGHT was OBAMA's pastor for 20yrs at nagtuturo ng LIBERAL THEOLOGY na KAPANALIG ng ARAL nila JALANDONI at JOMA SISON. HINDI ba't sinabi ni RIZAL minsan ang ganitong kataga? "TELL ME YOUR FRIENDS and I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE." sino ba sila TONY REZKO, JEREMIAH WRIGHT, BILL AYERS, FARAKKHAN, ALLISON, KHALID, MEEKS, AUCHI...sa buhay ni OBAMA??? FOR ALL: Basahin po ninyo yung LIBRO ni OBAMA mismo para mamulat kayo sa katotohanan na SIYA MISMO ay RACIST. hey men!What if Obama lost,would blacks african going to be deported to africa,where they first came from?Who is afraid to be sent back to Philippines(former paradise)ruined and exploited by its rapist and tormentor.
I once lived in USA but there is nothing there to make me convinced that USA is a better place than Philippines,Hello the only thing that many of filipinos dream to lived in USA because of stupid mentality that they think once they lived in USA they are rich and happy...that is a big NO. Life in USA is like racing with robots and no matter how you tried to be happy still you just can´t have enough,while in RP you can just relax,take everything easy and lived just like the rest of filipinos,no need to hurry after all there is only summer and rainy season and a bounce of stormy weather but as saying goes,only strong survives. So what do you think blacks are you ready to be sent back to africa if McCain won the race? *you anti-obamas dont even matter anymore!
im so happy that he won! he is the image of change here. after years of struggle for equality, his election as the president certainly is the starting point of change, equality, hope. *i believe that when he takes office in january, his immigration policies will benefit more of you obama-bashing-immigration-hopefuls than that of mccain's tight ones. for those who think marxism, socialism is evil, you guys can drown in a balon. he cannot wholly change us from capitalist to socialist but he sure can start working on socialized healthcare for us residents. there is certainly nothing wrong with that, especially now that healthcare rates are high up that people working on minimum wage cant even afford anything. *ok. who cares if obama is racist.? everyone is racist. he doesnt go around lynching white people for revenge, nor does he spit on anyone's face, unlike the retarded, prejudiced, racist white mccain supporters in the middle of the country. they go around accusing him of being muslim, arab. now that's just hatin! *all my professors voted for obama, my political science teachers in high school voted for him as well and they were all white. why? they looked past his skin color and especially took into consideration his education history. he graduated magna cum laude from harvard law school and was juris doctor. JAy! muslim is not a race. obama's christian. his dad is kenyan, mum is mixed caucasian; he was born in hawaii; moved to indonesia; has an indonesian sted dad. bottom line is that is he is both black and white. *after all of this blabber: i blame philippine society for such prejudice upon our dark skinned brothers. sa philippines nga, people mistreat even abuse either emotionally or physically ang dark skinned people. calling them baluga, uling. i get uneasy nga when my own parents do that. filipinos should try to stop such social inequality. everyone is a racist,even you is a racist,the way you delivered your comments/opinions it show that you too is a racist...please re-read your post.
So you think Obama will be better president than those white past president of USA?Bear in mind that it was the white president that build USA as strong as they want USA to be. Obama without his white parent,he is still in Kenya and no way he will be as educated as he was now.Martin Luther King jr.is the only black people that think struggled hard to set free the black people from being a slaved of white people...other than that there is none in the history a black people contributes to be symbolized as the greatest leader of USA. I admired so much the courages MLK has,he has what Andres Bonifacio did to set free filipinos from being underdog of spanish colononizer but only to end-up murdered by his own-fellow filipino freedom fighter name Emilio Aguinaldo. The only change Obama can do,if he really want change is to make USA a land for muslim people abused or victimized by Bush administration,only then the whole world will think of USA as a nation of freedom and equality for all. If americans can come and go to any country they desired to visit or lived or invaded why other country can not come to USA as easy as americans does.It only show that USA is a greedy country,for that Obama has to show to the world that USA is for all not just for american people,because we lived in the same planet,we breath the same air,we all suffered the climates change and we will all be buried on the same ground unless it is okey to buried dead body in the moon or other planet. Before you embrace or boast about Obama,let him show first what he can do for USA,if he can stop all the wars that going on around the globe because of injustice brought by Bush administration,only then i would believed his capabilities to be a great leader of USA...but until he don´t probed anything that he can change the dirty images of USA in the eyes of angry muslim,communist,socialist,terrorist world,he is just like the rest of us a piece of shit. No kidding!Anyone can be a president,but how they will do their jobs and how they will manage the country and its relation to the whole world is what really counts. If the Bushés tagged as war-mongers,Obama should be peace bringer...Obama has a lot of works to be done,from cleaning the Bush administration mess from WH to Iraq,Afghanistan,Pakistan,etc.his job as a new president is not that easy...sabi ng mga matatanda sa atin,"marami ka pang bigas na kakainin kahit mahal na ang bigas,bago mo mapantayan o mahigitan ang mga nagawang kabayanihan ng mga magiting na ninuno ng Bayan". Obama still considered nothing until he probe to the world that he is truly a great one if not the greatest of them all. Sorry,i don´t admired no one unless there is reason to admire them. I´d admire Dr.Jose Rizal,Andres Bonifacio,Melchora Aquino,peoples, who endures threat,death,tortures for the freedom of his countrymen...and for the record only Jesus Christ died for all of us,no matter if you are black,brown,yellow,gray or white. Would Obama died for USA just to erased the dirty images of USA in the eyes of those countries the Bush administration been so cruel at? Paano malilinis ni Obama ang putik na dinala ni Bush sa WH?Maparusahan kaya ni Obama si PGWB sa salang pananakop na may kasamang dahas at paglapastangan sa karapatan pantao ng mga inosenteng iraqis na pinatay na walang kalaban-laban? Kung nagawang akusahan ng mga karumal-dumal na kasinungalingan si Saddam Hussein ng mga krimen na hindi naman nya ginawa,maipagtatanggol ba ni Obama ang mga inaping iraqis,muslim na ang tanging kasalanan ay ang pagiging muslim. If Obama can bring peace to the whole world,only then i will admire him more than i admire hero of Philippines. wtf? obama is not a muslim.
*some people should learn basic grammar. *wth are you talking about? why would he be in kenya if he was already born here? what do you mean because of his white parent? tons of people who have white parents are less educated than him. have you ever gone to the middle of country? white parent... pfft. *mlk? the only one? apparently you dont read up on your US history. what do you call rosa parks, web du bois, malcolm x, the people who did sit-ins, the freedom riders, nat turner, frederick douglass, booker t, ida wells then? they started to fight for civil rights before mlk became did. they all were great leaders. I just noticed that early on in the posts, somebody mentioned something about taxes and how an Obama administration is ultimately going to be more costly for US taxpayers. Nobody has addressed that really. I think that is a VERY, VERY IMPORTANT POINT WE'RE MISSING HERE.
Also, being a Hillary supporter (pagbigyan niyo na kahit nasa Pinas ako at nagpapaka-supporter ako), I'm happy that the Dems won, even though I'm not particularly happy that Obama eventually got to sit at the Oval Office. All this talk about race, and change and moral victory, it makes my head spin. Obama is probably just as white as Bill Clinton/Al Gore is, or as any other liberal politician. I think some people are endlessly making this election this triumphant time in history when really it is not. It's a charismatic politician running a flawless campaign against a party that had the worst 8 years in its history. It's just plain...INEVITABLE. Now, does this mean that people in the US are a lot less racially prejudiced, now that an African-American candidate won? Well just look at the posts above...probably not. Because people, this was never about race. Well yes, Obama used the race card to its full advantage, as Hillary would have used the gender angle (they're politicians!), but I don't really see it as the fulfillment of Martin Luther King's dream or whatnot. If anything, I pity Obama; can you imagine people seeing you as this messiah who's going to save the whole country from recession AND be this harbinger of racial harmony at the same time. You'd have to be God to accomplish that. Also, I think people were right in saying that a lot of black folks are on welfare, are criminals, blah blah blah...but what people are probably missing is that a lot of white people are on welfare too (who probably don't need it), who are also engaged in criminal activities, etc etc. That's not an issue of race, sabi nga ni joe, but of character. Although I don't necessarily agree with his attacks on Obama's character, as I'm not in the position to judge the character of someone who I haven't even, and will probably never ever see, in person. That's why it's pointless to vote on the merit of character; you don't really know who you're voting for really, just vote on platforms and ideologies. So, Obama's win really shouldn't be looked at as anything but a savvy campaign that was thought of and executed at the most opportune time. Nothing more, nothing less. I agree with the below blogger (from Cafferty issue below)... Filipinos are NOT Americans.... Even the ones residing in the U.S. For them to call US parasites is ridiculous.... We built the greatest country ever to exist and died for the Civil Rights of all... What has any Filipinos done other than screw our caucasian men for a green card, the divorce them once that caucasian "ticket" got their relative to America? Your country and people are the laughing stock of planet Earth... You've done nothing for the world... Look at all of the invetions blacks created... Built America, died for civil rights, protect it in disproportianate numbers... We are America! You're not! That's why it's killing your racist nation that the most poerful man on the planet is a Black man... How ironic and righteous!
I so happy you were on the wrong side of history.... Par for the coarse! FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty: Senator John McCain says when it comes to foreign policy he’s light years ahead of Barack Obama. Over and over again, McCain has insisted Obama lacks the necessary experience to conduct business with foreign countries on behalf of the United States. So how do you explain this? Citizens of dozens of foreign countries prefer Barack Obama over John McCain as our next president by a margin of almost 4 to 1, according to a massive poll conducted by the Gallup Organization. About 30 percent of those surveyed prefer Obama, while just 8 percent favor McCain. This was no daily tracking poll either. Gallup polled people in 70 countries in Africa, Europe, Asia and North and South America, representing nearly half the world’s population, between May and September of this year. Citizens of the Philippines and Georgia were the only ones who preferred McCain to Obama. Not exactly the super-powers we’re looking to mend fences with. Here’s my question to you: Why do citizens in 70 foreign countries prefer Barack Obama to John McCain by a margin of nearly 4-1? Interested to know which ones made it on air? Justin from North Carolina writes: Barack Obama is the candidate of reason. Only a fool would think of supporting the ticket with the oldest presidential nominee and a woefully inept vice presidential candidate are in the best interest of America or the world especially when the current disaster of a president proves to be more coherent than the both of them. Filipinos, who are racist, and pseudo-Americans (have done nothing for America but try to obtain each and every benefit available, whether they’re entitled or not) are jealous that an African-American is going to be the World’s next leader. They as a people are “wanna-be” whites who have no self-pride or identity. No originality, no respect throughout the world. 1 race with 2 classes. Dark and “wanna-be white!” They discard their own culture for “white culture”. They know NOTHING of American history. They don’t know that the greatest country ever to exist was created by African-Americans. They don’t know that African-Americans died for “civil rights” of ALL people of color, including them, who again have done NOTHING for America. They don’t know that the pyramids were built by Africans… They don’t know or either they don’t care… They are ignorant. John McCain used a racial term to describe his Vietnamese captors, but in doing so slandered ALL Asians, to include Filipinos, and they still support him, simply because of his skin color. Filipinos tell their daughters to not marry blacks, but every time they have an event, all they sing and dance to is black music. They try to sing just like us, and dance just like us, and dress just like us… African-Americans are the #1 entertainers in the world. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Denzel Washington, Jamie Fox, Janet Jackson, Michael Jordon, Kobe Bryant, Terrell Owens, Lil’ Wayne, Tiger etc… Filipinos desire that status but do not possess the charisma for such acclaim. Have you ever seen a Filipino with a #1 selling hit in America? Have you ever seen a Filipino Olympian win a gold medal? How many professional athletes participate in American sports? They are racist to blacks but at the same time desire everything that blacks can do, but they simply cannot. Their national past-time is BASKETBALL of all things. A nation of short people with no athleticism but desire to be good at a sport dominated by blacks. The best singers, actors and athletes are black. The best “wanna-be” whites in the world are Filipino… That’s all they’re good for… I take pride in knowing that they will not be part of World history (as usual). They do not support Obama, and are 1 of only 2 of the 70 nations polled that do not support Obama. As usual, they are a non-player in the world scheme of things. They are the world’s #1 copy-cats. They have no individuality, no sense of creativity (they just copy everyone), and no respect from the normal world. They are a 3rd World nation that will never be able to defeat corruption, thus will always be a non-player on planet Earth. Filipinos tell their daughters not to marry black, but how many Filipinas have slept with black men? Quite a few! How many Filipinas marry for money, but since they lack “romance” then chose to sleep around, and a lot of times with black men. Filipinos are categorized as “gold-diggers!” Unfortunately, when your whole motivation in life is nothing but money, you become obsessed with it. This obsession skews the character of the entire Filipino race. They resort to lies, thievery, gambling, etc… The perception of Filipinas are that they are “whores” and “gold-diggers”. The perception of Filipino men is that they are lazy and conniving. Filipinos like to drive expensive cars, whether they can afford them or not, and boast about this and that. A classy car does not make you a classy person. Normally, once they open their mouth, you realize that they obviously have no class. Everything you want to know about a Filipino is on their sleeves. What you see is what you get. There is no internal beauty. There is no intriguing inner-self. Only a façade of a human that lacks class, respect and dignity. Glad I’m not Filipino. How many movies and documentaries do you see glorifying African-Americans that overcame racism? Too many! Now how many movies and documentaries do you see glorifying Filipinos? Zilch! Again, they have never ever done anything for Civil rights, nor did they help build America… They’re just here collecting benefits or old white men’s estates. The only reason they’re supporting John McCain (who called them Gooks) and Sarah Palin is because they’re white. No one considers Filipinos white, as much as they might wanna be. I definitely don’t consider them a strong caliber enough nation of people to be considered black or people of color. They’re caught out in between no-man’s land. Whites don’t want them, and blacks don’t either. African-Americans built this country, Filipinos did not… Africans-Americans died for civil rights, while Filipinos were nowhere to be found… African-Americans defend America in disproportionate numbers while Filipinos choose to serve in only “medical” or non-combative roles, and get out as soon as they get all of the benefits they can. African-Americans are embedded in the very foundational fibers of America, while Filipnos are “Johnny come latelys”… African-Americans are true Americans, while racist Filipinos will never ever be… just hold on a second with your weak attempt to put down filipinos. it is true that normal filipinos glorify light skin and attempt to rap... and dance hip hop... however, not all (especially myself) is like that. not all filipinos marry caucasian men to get green cards... not all marry at all... not all hate obama.... blahblahbalh...
i do not know where this anger comes from my friend. if you've experienced anything negative with a filipino or a migrant filipino or a group of them, it should not translate to every filipino.
i understand that you are angry. i understand your key point/s. i am an american citizen. i am of the malay race. i am filipino. i am not in any way related to what you have cited. i have countless negative experiences with african-americans both here in the U.S. and when i was in the philippines. but, i do not have this anger, because i believe that each and every person is created equal no matter what skin color, eye color, hair color, height, weight, sex, sexual preference, social stature, religion, what have you. it is a matter of different circumstances and how we deal with what we have. but we are all people. let us not forget that. this is Obama's message. this is what Barrack fights for. this is why i voted for him. Lets respect everyone and start with a clean slate. I think that's Obama's message to us all.
joe of new york: Good posts. It's nice to see a Filipino believing and debating what's right. You're critics are those of the usual who suffer a severe case of White-Envy. As a Spanish Mestizo I can attest to the hostility and resentment light-skinned people experience in predominantly dark-skinned countries. What you say about Blacks and Obama are true. I believe the election was rigged.
Obama's win is the saddest day in American history and will forever be a stain in the country's glorious saga. wth are you talkin about?
clearly, you have been ordained into the KKK. obama's win is in fact the country's and the world's proudest event in history. obama's win is the pride of the african continent and his win has swayed the leader of Kenya to implement electricity in the villages that have never seen such cosmopolitan luxuries. "Beware the preachers of equality, for in them lies... Revenge". - Friedrich Nietzsche
The original article was right on the money, but what an amazing thread! I just can'tbelieve some of the opinions expressed, on all sides. I learned a lot!
I wished that the USA would have an American-Indian as a President.It would send a message to the world that being equal, right and impartial is the democratic way by letting the US citizens vote for an American-Indian.In that way, those Blacks and Whites should stop bickering and fighting over each other.Who is more right to claim the US; The Immigrants, The Whites, The Blacks, The Asians or the Indigenous Peoples like those Apaches and etc? I for one support INDIGENOUS PEOPLE POWER.
Good Day! Sir Severino, may I borrow this article for our group project in Pagbasa at Pagsulat sa Iba't Ibang Disiplina/Larangan or better known as FILDLAR? The topic is all about racism and I find this article relevant to the said issue. Proper citation will be observed. Thank You.
For the Filipino that stated "Blacks are parasites", FILIPINOS are the worst parasites I've seen in my over 55 countries... Either they are corrupt, dishonest, whores and/or gold-diggers... No one lies or cheats more in the U.S. THe majority are in America illegally. Too many come over on tourist visas and marry anyone, or simply stay past their return date... I know a Filipino that was being forced to go back to the P.I. so he rang up about $100K in credit of appliances, shipped them back to the P.I. and never paid a penny to the credit card. I can't tell you how many gold-digging Filipinas were "mail order" brides to men in America, who eventually got the Filipina's entire families to America, only to be subsequently hit the "gold-mine husband" with "divorce" papers, after the man had been used up. Sometimes this would result in the murder of his gold-digging Pinay wife out of revenge.
But Filipinos have the nerve to call "Blacks" parasites? You're the most parasitic of ALL! Filipnos have done NOTHING for America but supply her with Mail-order brides gold-diggers... Lets start from the beginning: Few can imagine the atrocity that Africans endured on the slave ships. The filth, the stench, the loss of life, the disease, the packing of men in spaces so tight they could neither turn, nor stand, nor squat, nor sit is beyond human comprehension. For fifty days or more at a time, per voyage, our ancestors were tortured. Tight packers herded as many Africans aboard as possible, arguing that net receipts from sales of slaves would off-set the number that died. Loose packers preferred to give their captives "breathing room", trusting that more would survive the journey under sanitary conditions. So great was the profit from the sale of the enslaved that most European captains filled their vessels to the top, adding a second platform, if necessary, barely twenty inches above the heads of those below, to accommodate more. Crammed in suffocating heat, held fast by chains bolted to the floor, forced to lie in their own waste, breathing air rancid with vomit, disease, and sickness. There amid huge rats that gnawed through wood and flesh, men went mad. There on floors covered with blood and excrement, pregnant women gave birth. There the living awoke, chained to the dead. The daily routine brought little relief. Mashed horse beans pounded to a pulp and served with slabber sauce, a mixture of flour, palm oil, and water twice a day. Next came the dancing of the slaves, a cruel form of exercise and amusement conducted by slave captains to keep their human captives in salable condition. After a few hours, they were again forced back into the hell below. It was this journey that brought millions of us to America, the West Indies, South America, and countries of Europe. 50 to 200 million have been estimated as dying in transport alone. What our white ancestors unintentionally initiated was selective segregation of the strongest males and females ever to come out of Africa. No other race ever on Earth has survived the atrocities we did. Not the Jews, no one. When we finally did arrive in America, they put tar on our wounds and oiled us down to make us pretty and shiny so that we netted max dollar at slave auctions. Did I mention they also divided families up and sold them to whoever? Now we've been sold and are now on the plantations. They strapped a plow on us and worked us like ox or cattle or horses. Unintentionally, they made us as strong as ox by working us like ox and feeding us the unwanted parts of pig, horses, etc... And unfortunately, many died from the fatal work-ethic forced upon us. How dare you slander the very race that built trhe greatest country ever to exist, who's foundation (the textiles that my ancestor slaves produced...the cotton, the crops, etc...) was built by African Americans. What have the Filipinos done for America. Did they stand with us during the battle for Civil Rights, giving their lives such as Martin Luther King and many others did? I don't think so. But you think that you've done more for America than the African American? The U.S. Armed Forces are disproportionately African American. The Filipinos that are in the military chose medical duties because they onll think about the money they'll make when they get out. I hardly see any Military Police or infantrymen. While we die for our country in the middle of battle, they are no where to be found. In the rear with the gear! No real men! Please list the significant contributions provided by the Filipinos? When you see a African American in the U.S., please know that unlike the Filipinos, and other non-blacks, the African American race was created about 400 years ago right here by our white ancestors. We've been here in huge numbers from the get-go, only proceeded by the Native Americans. And a huge number of African Americans mated with the Native Americans, so their blood runs in a large number of us also, as does the blood of our white ancestors because they raped our slave ancestors. Whenever you see an Asian, such as a FIlipino, either they are married to a G.I. or their family came here a few years ago! When you see an African American, know that they have been here since the 1600s. I didn't see the KKK hanging any Filipinos! How dare you!!! "Conquistadors" occupied the P.I.? Did the Conquistadors take millions of you from the P.I. to Spain, killing millions in the process? Did they take your heritage away from you? Your language? Your families? Where do you come into play in America? 19th-20th cetury era...off of a cargo ship??? That cake has already been baked, and we baked it! You can put a candle on it if you like, however, that cake is and has been done well before you even heard the name America... Watch "ROOTS!" That's the "G" rated version of what I've explained to you. Look at the Colin Powells and Condoleeza Rices and tell me what Filipinos have contributed to this country like the African American has. Please take your unfounded BS and leave America until you realize that the African American contributions to making this country great cannot be surpassed or even minutely compared, much less mentioned by the Filipinos... Salamat... P.S. Only 2 countries voted for McCain.... Georgia (understood due to the current political/malitaristic situation there), and the racist Philippines... So glad that the uninteligent/confused nation of the Philippines was again on the wrong side of history, as usual. And your idol McCain is a racist... He continuously voted against MLK Day until the NFL took the Superbowl outta Arizona! He also called Asians "gooks" on natl TV several times and refused to apoligize. While he was in fact referring to his Vietnamese captors, running for the highest office on the planet means that you're disciplined enough to represent with class, as a true "statesman" of America. By uttering the word "Gook", he was slandering ALL Asians! And the idiots in the Philippines STILL preferred him over President-elect Obama. While there is only "1" race in the P.I., there are 2 "classes!" White and not-white... When I was in school, the Guidance Counselor would ask young black kids what they wanted to be when they grew up. Whenever we said "President", they'd tell us that's not for us, and to try being a Sanitation Worker because they get paid very well. We can build this country, die for Civil Rights, protect it in disproportionate numbers, but cannot be it's President. We can be castrated, lynched, burned alive, raped, separated from loved ones, skinned, amputated etc, but we cannot be it's President. The 44th President of the U.S., my Commander-In-Chief is one of me. I am Barack Obama! Filipinos try to sing just like us, act just like us, hell, they wanna be us! The #1 entertainers in the world! Will Smith, Beyonce, Denzel Washington, Jamie Fox, Tiger Woods etc... Y'all copy EVERYTHING we do, and tell your daughters not to marry black. Everynite when I lock the bedroom door, I remind my Pinay wife (from Pasig City) how lucky she is to be get stroked (punished if you will) by her powerful African American asawa. tap,you talk so bad about pilipino's yet you don't see all the wrong doing's of you're kind do! majority off crimes out there are done by you're kind,and majority off all the collecting welfare recepients out are you're kind ,oh! yeah more power to blacks,be proud of them because there goes my tax dollars again and again you're collecting them each year,you're so proud of you're kind getting pregnant with no daddy's to call so you can collect welfare from hard working tax payer people like me who's you're daddy now! and be proud to go to jerry springer show to see who's my babby's daddy and you end up with hundreds of guys still you dont know who is you're daddy! whore's!of all places i've worked things i notice black's are lazy ,they complain a lot call out sick a lot and the slowest to work with,and all the bad words that comes out of there mouth shamefull again majority of you are like that!and yeah! i'm so proud of my kind at least i don't have greasy hair like you,i don't have to wear extention hairs,no fake nails ! i don;t have to shave my arms or legs because they're growing curly hairs, yuck! i don't have to go to get tan, or bleach my skin i love my color, perfect all year long,.you're so hatefull against pilipino's,i know you wish to be married to one ,only in you're dream, because you hardly see us pilipina with you're kind ,i don't want my kids to look and act like you! i just tolerate you,you're # 1 scum in usa if you just look around.so you ain't so great,i think you're sitting next to computer all day while collecting my tax dollars,you scum bag.go out there get a job pay taxes like everyone else be productive,and quit your whinning quit blaming everything on slavery because we have done nothing to slave you!wake up smell the coffee! let it go its the past, its history!face the future,co'z the future theres alot of taxes were facing this year, next year thanks to obama you gonna collect more of my hard earned dollars so quit hating pilipino's because were supporting you're welfare collection our dollars is putting food on your table too!so be nice to all kind or should i say just tolerate us too!because like it or not ,youre blood is red,youre bone is white,youre shit stinks like everyone else,you smell the same air we smell. bottom line is youre no better than the rest of us,so thank you for being you, thank me for being me, thats what makes the world beautiful,because of all our differences.get it!if you dont get it go find yourself an island be all you can be.
Hello TAP,for your information we are all considered parasites in this planet earth not of USA alone.I don´t believed all black people are good and none of them are parasites...there is plenty of problem caused by black people as well...take a look around the world,blacks are mostly the people involved into piracy,asylum seeker.
Yes,i agree numerous numbers of black had make USA as great as what it is but it doesn´t meant it was because the blacks are smarter than whites or asians...remember you once brought as slaved and without the acceptance of whites to gave blacks freedom you will be all sent to africa as were you were all came from...and there is nothing wrong of going back to its origin,i once lived in USA and realized USA is not my dream country...why too much hard headed buffalos and white cows that went crazy just like those wild animals in africa. Anyway Mr.Barack Hussein Obama is not purely of black origin,with out his white parent origin,he would be as blacks as those charcoal around which supply whole energy to USA economy. Sunwatch, you're definitely not educated... You know nothing of Africans... They come in all shades... Did you know Egyptians are African? Many Egyptians, Libyans, Morroccans and North Africans look white or Arab. Your sentences make no sense... And I love it when Blacks that are successful suddenly aren't "BLACK"... Such as Tiger Woods and Barack Obama etc... The world realizes he's Black, but dumbass Filipinos, who also selected McCain over him, now insinuate he's not African American, while his father is from KENYA! You're an idiot! Get over it! The most powerful man on the planet is Black! The most powerful man in my Pinay's bed tonite is also Black!
And no where did I state that Blacks were smarter than anyone else, however, I challenge you to google "Black Inventions" and "Filipino Inventions" and tell me what you come up with. Please tell me what Filipinos did for America or the world?! And NO! You didn't create the flourescent lightbulb or Hydrogen powered car! You created corruption and mail order brides! Gold-diggers and liars... Glad you left the country my race built! Too many of you are there illegally. Hi,Mr.Anonymous!
Sun doesn´t need to be educated,you need education Mr.Anonymous as you see,mercury becomes black cause of too closed to the sun right? So you are so proud that an african-american man now the new elected president of USA,i am glad Mr.Obama win,after all it is time for african to clean-up the mess PGWB done(still it is a job of a slave isn´t it). So what if filipino corrupted or golddigger,aren´t the african are much more worse...take a look to your fellow african,who wears jewelry much more than asians or other race. I have respect to a few black people but not all blacks for me can go to heaven,sorry but too much buffalo truly makes my eyes sore and i would rather burn them than becomes headache everyone.Sorry bro,but too much of your race is no longer acceptable to me. I would handle to take good care 12,000 of your purely black people 12,000 thousand of white,12,000 thousand of brown,12,000 thousand of yellow,12,000 of gray,12,000 of red,12,000 of orange,12,000 of pink,12,000 of green,12,000 of blue,12,000 of violet,12,000 of bordeaux. Black is not the powerfulman in the world,in your dream maybe you are...but white is still the superior color of all colors.Have a straight look at the sun and tell me what color is there inside of it,also what color is your bone isn´t it white? I am glad that africans strat to becomes civilized though plenty of them still as wild as those in Congo or Somalia. You mentioned about your pinaywife,if i were her i don´t think you would ever make me had an orgasm without myself being on top,i want to be the boss not the slave. By the way why hide yourself in anonymous name are you a mouse? Hopefully you would reply once again.Thank you. EG, you stated basketball "USED" to be dominated by blacks... You're stupider than the last poster... The way the world sees (which is normally different than the Philippines), Blacks still dominate the NBA! Kobe Bryant, James Lebron, Allen Iverson, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh etc... What European is domintaing the NBA? Please make sense when you post, instead of typing idiocy!
BTW, how many Filipinos are in the NBA? How many olympic medals does the P.I. have? NONE to both questions... Looking at all of the postings by the Filipinos here, I see the same "Colonialism" white-wash hypnotism that their ignorant nation has always embraced.
First, you "wanna-be-caucasians" press the myth of Obama's birth as an American citizen. Too stupid to realize that this has all been vetted long-ago. Do you think the smartest country on the planet would allow such a historical campaign and election, only to afterwards say, "Wait! My Bad! It now appears Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S. You're uneducated... Secondly, you WISH that he was a Muslim, when he's a Christian in reality. Third, you keep insinuating that he pals around with terrorists because that's what Anti-Obama FOX News keeps fabricating. Let me ask you uneducated-easily-influenced-by-all-things-white morons how you think that you're smarter than the intelligence agencies of the most powerful nation ever to exist? Don't you think that our very own intel agencies have the resources to prove whether any of this BS is fact? But a nation of uneducated wanna-be caucasian idiots can tell us the facts? You wanna believe everything negative about President-elect Obama because he's not white. You're the only nation that is non-white out of 70 polled that supported McCain, even tho he called Asians "GOOKS" on national TV several times. You love being abused, subjugated, slaved by EVERYONE in the world. We African Americans don't! That's why instead of sucking eveyone's dick, like Filipinos do, we instead FOUGHT AND DIED for Civil Rights! We wanted to be equal, not everyone's biatch like Filipinos! That's why the most powerful person on the planet is BLACK/African American! You send more OSWs throughout the planet than any other nation because your god-forsaken nation has absolutely nothing to offer. You try to make your sorry country just like America, but it's all a facade. You can organize your government just like ours, give eveyone the same titles (congressmen, senators etc) but unless you have persons of integrity and intelligence, you'll never really be like us! Lastly, please don't compare what we went thru to your Spanish subjugation. You weren't raped, castrated, lynched, burned alive, impaled, disemboweled, amputated etc... I've studied the Conquistadors occupation of the Philippines and nothing of the sort, other than raping was evidenced. You're a whore country that was dominated by the Conquistadors first, then white men. You have "Stockholm Syndrom!" You've actually "ACCEPTED" the fact that you're the world's whore. You'll never ever be leaders in this world because you have absolutely nothing to offer but OSWs and Mail-order gold-digging whore wives. White women choose Black men over Asians (especially Filipino) in America. Filipino women choose White men over Filipnos in American and sometimes in the Philippines, thus the reason for so many "Mail-order brides!" Filipinos will sell their souls (and bodies) to survive... At the rate your Filipinas are marrying men of other races, there will eventually be no Filipinos on the Earth. Your useless whore nation will be forever erased from Earth's archives... So keep hating on Obama and African Americans. We built the greatest country ever to exist and died for the civil rights of ALL people of color, even your dumb asses, but that's right, you think you're white... Do yourselves a favor and rent "ROOTS, Rosewood, Panthers, Men of Honor and too many other history-telling movies and docu-dramas of American history. The you'd understand the plight that Blacks undured, embraced and conquered.... If you don't know your past, you're doomed to repeat it... We're proud to be embedded in the very foundational fibers of America. It was simply righteousness that we now have a Black President. We're fighters, not weak whores! So stop singing our songs and dancing our dances. You cannot be us! You prefer to be white but copy EVERYTHING Blacks do... Most confused people on the planet! Find some creativity! Some originality! Some integrity and intelligence! Stop copying everyone, stop believing EVERYTHING that a caucasian person (or FOX News) says, and stop being every nation's whore! Maybe then you will discover yourself, develop yourself and some respect, and eventually be something on this planet! Being proud and strong will help you get there, but I feel that you'll instead still continue to be the "slaves" and "whores" of the world instead. Bye now! Time to go to bed to punish my sexy Asawa-ko! Again... Pray for her! TAP,why would we pray for your filipina wife,she should not marry you if i were her,a man like you boastful,maniac,self centered african/american like you is not a good hubby to be with.
She should marry a caucasians where-in she would be the boss not a slave of former slave from africa. Speaking of whore,USA is the great whore ever exist in this planet of earth...let me remind you,Philippines was a paradise itself.It doesn´t need any foreign help to keep it beautiful because,God already created it beautifullly...but then all of these maniacs that invaded the Philippines treat the locals as their slave...and one of them is you TAP....take a look how many of your amerisian offspring run around in RP soil up to now they don´t know who are their irrisponsible african/american father,most of them grew-up in boystown & girlstown built for abandoned children....and don´t blame the filipina themselves because it takes two man/woman to make a babies. Take a look how USA keep its powerful images,isn´t it by bribing,invading any rich resources countries to be their supplier of their needs...and you are so proud of USA? el pluribus unum,do you know who you are serving really?You are serving your evil god called 666. Yes the filipinos are weak,slaves of the world,suckers, but there is none in history filipinos invaded other countries just to enrich the filipino people...not like americans,it is a big shame for a powerful country like yours to killed so many innocents just to get the riches of target nations that USA badly needed. I think you are the one should study history not only the martyrdom of african/american people,but the SIN african/american,caucasian had committed. If you wanna talk who are more sinner in this world,it points exactly to american people,whose sin already reached to the most High.Where you find all kinds of evilness,faggots,immorality,criminals that posses as saints and here you are you are so proud of being an american.Tried go to China,Russia,Iran,Cuba,vietnam or other countries doesn´t believed in your democracy,i bet you will be buried there upside down. Well,you can not force every filipino to like african,not all filipinas like eggplants...the reasons why white american ladies choice to marry black or african because they love horse size dick and those little toy guns of filipinos can not hardly please a horny american pies. That is true filipinos are not L,XL,XXL,XXXL sizes of gun carrier but they too can make babies otherwise there would be no 80 million filipinos ever exist. What else you want to be so proud of your race,that USA went to the moon,that USA won the war against the japs,but not of vietcongs,that USA successfully captured and killed Saddam Hussein,what else USA has to be proud is a big shame for americans,the more you becomes proud,the more it bring curse to your country. I pity your country,because of its ambition to be always the best and powerful,the wholeworld almost against to american people,no kidding there are only few country still friendly to USA,but wait for the time when all world leaders realized how badly USA have sinned,i wonder who would remain loyal to 666,but soon the downfall of Babylon would take place just wait for it. medyo wala masyadong patam 'to sa ibang nagcomment...
just like to add up sa mga ibang nasabi... well i must say that medyo pro-obama ako though im not in the U.S. ... not because he'll change the views of white people towards colored people, but just the simple fact na mukhang ok naman yung mga plataporma nia, nd it would be better if mafufulfill nia yun... another problem na nakita ko sa mga post is that, masyado kayo nagtitirahan sa mga comments, though personally medyo na-ilang ako sa ibang banat, well that's their opinion... i believe more in the humanistic and individualistic approach, im no scholar, please kung me mali man akong masabi.. hehe... anyway, i prefer to use that approach dahil it makes you more understanding of other races or other classes of people, if it really is a valid segregation... parang sa social anthropology lang yan eh, you must first know the culture of a particular country before you understand them, and not judge them... at the end of the day, parepareho lang tayong tao, iisa ang hanging nilalanghap, pareho ang pingakukuhanan ng pagkain, at kung anu anu pa... at sa tinging ko color races is not created to plant hatred and doubt but to make our world more exciting and diverse, just imagine the world in full blast of globalization, pare pareho suot, parepareho magisip, mamuhay whatever! ang boring kaya nun, walang na tayong pinagkaiba sa robots... diversity makes the world go round, not money... despite the differences we can complement each other, fill up the gaps, parang nakipagholding hands ka lang, our hands esp. our fingers are not created separated and differntly to connote division but for a chance of grasping each other and make our hold stronger... anyway my point is, instead of arguing about american politics, racism, and obama (na nanalo naman na) why not just focus on our own country first, instead of adding up to the dirt why not start cleaning up our own mess here in the philippines... then maybe we could serve as a shed of light for others... be pro-diversity and equality... equality not in the context of your race but of the whole human race... from dust we live to dust we die... all are equal in the eyes of God... no to racism! bravo damon,i mean nomad....you are like a shining candle in the dark when you said that word,from dust we live to dust we die...but that beliefs are to those who are human,what about those animals they are not from the dust they are from animals themselves.Also what about those trees and star are they from dust as well?Just asking ignorant question but i expect a clever answer.Thank you.
Speaking of Barack Obama: LONG LIVE EMPEROR OBAMA!
Obama is a racial-minority individual and does not like racism: There is bad news about George Herbert Walker Bush. What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time. Respectfully Submitted by Andrew Yu-Jen Wang, J.D.

PHILIPPINES is a poor nation filled up wid illiterate people , who dont have enough cash to complete eduction
they are sold world wide as slaves and maids and dont have any contribution to the place they take refuge in thats y they are called "parasites" and they are condemed everywhere for not taking bath and having no manners poor people i feel pity on them LOL Darnell, I guess you're right, our nation is 'filled up wid' illiterates, and a lot of us do not have the money to be able to acquire good 'eduction.' But please, please do not accuse us for 'not taking bath' (we love baths!) or having no manners.
You probably have to consider that we have a culture different from what you are used to, and that what may be ok for you guys may not be acceptable to us (such as abortion or capital punishment) and vice-versa. We are capable of acquiring good education and skills if given the chance, just like everyone else. So please do not feel pity 'on' us sir. We are thinking and feeling humans just like you. darnell you must be a very well educated individual to be able to talk down to another human being like that,not!! you're parents must be so proud of you! i think you're just a low life no good for nothing whatever you are, type of parasite,no one should be around you.you are condemmed on this beautiful world i live in,i think you're heart was broken by a beautiful pilipina thats why you're full of hate.or you are just hatefull so sorry for you! i just want to say, be thankful for what you have, if you have any,and enjoy life,because you're not gonna take it to grave with you! you're just gonna be like the rest of us,die,get eaten by a parasite like you,and turn to dust. so why you're so hateful? and as far as parasite that you're talking about,you are the worst one,and please! you can't even spell education,and we do love showers,head to toe at least everyday,baths maybe for some,but showers we love showers.
The racism of the Filipino (and Filipina) is not directed at any specific race, it is the standard racism where they consider their own race to be superior than all other races. I will quote a joke that was published in a Philippine Newspaper a couple of days ago.
The joke is basically about a filipina who has a dying "foreigner" husband, and his love for the lumpia. Anyway the dying "foreigner" husband smells the lumpia from his death bed, and he says to himself that it must be his loving wife preparing his favourite dish for his last meal before he dies, so the "foreigner" husband drags himself out of his bed and crawls to the kitchen, and reaches up to the table to take one last lumpia, and has his reaches and feels for his last lumpia on the table, his hand finds the lumpia, then as he grabs it his filipina wife slaps his hand with a spatula, and proclaims, "hey! thats not for you, thats for the guest at the funeral!" As can been seen with this joke, it could be easy said with without quoting that the husband was a "foreigner", but it had deliberately mentioned the "foreigner" word about 6 times throughout the joke. If that joke was published in a western country newspaper the paper would have been charged with racism and moves attempted to shut the newspaper down. In the Philippines, it is just laughed at, and when you ask a filipino or filipina if it is racist, they answer NO, of course it is not racist. So the true question is Why is it not racist in the Philippines, but it is considered racist in western countries? Can somebody please answer this? Sorry. Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
I am from Serbia and learning to read in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Forex market, preliminary dollar forex and plants." THX :(, How forex market. filipinoes? middle class? we're not that superior. we're prolly juss a couple steps up from the illegal minorities who hop the border.
