| Posted By: Meko Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 672 | RE: Female president Aurora, Blacks did have the right to vote before women (in most states; excluding the south). That was the point. I fail to see how I mistakenly took you for American. If the subject is American presidents therefore we would be talking about American history repeating it self. Also, black men have had many other rights in MY country prior to women and after reading you post it seems to ring true in CANADA as well (thanks for proving the point). So, as stated before: No offense ladies, but if history repeats it self we will have the first black president before a women. P.S. Perhaps you and Dr. Z should start your own chat room in which you can go back and forth on how you think the posters of the Odd Todd Weekly Poll Forum are inept and cliquey. Furthermore, I personally think that your posts are rather self-smitten. P.S.S. apparently I was too subtle. Oh wait, you may not pick up on that perhaps even still too subtle. |
| Posted By: Aurora Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 667 | RE: Female president Meko, When I stated " how can history repeat itself if it hasn't happened yet?" I was simply asking for clarification as to why you stated that. Did you expect me to read your mind and automatically know you were refering to voting rights? And just for the record, I did not post any information regarding Black's rights in Canada. But I did ask you for your opinion on the quote that I found that refered to obstacles that kept Blacks out of the ballot box until 1965. |
| Posted By: Meko Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 660 | RE: Female president Dearest Aurora, Did you expect me to read your mind and automatically know you were refering to voting rights? No, thats why I posted, Um er the a right to vote... ring any bells? Hello is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me. And just for the record, I did not post any information regarding Black's rights in Canada. Are you saying that womens right to vote came before black mens in CANADA? No, Im sure black men voted before any women; self-smitten (like you), or otherwise. But I did ask you for your opinion on the quote that I found that referred (I fixed the spelling for you) to obstacles that kept Blacks out of the ballot box until 1965. I answered that with: Blacks did have the right to vote before women (in most states; excluding the south). Thats were the equal rights movement of the 60s comes into play. Constitutionally blacks did have the right to vote but racist people (in the south) created many obstacles for blacks to climb in order to vote. I didnt think I needed to spell that all out for you (since you did your research). I fail see the need to educate you although I clearly have. I thought we were having a discussion about history repeating itself (or not), not a history lesson. Perhaps you should stick to foreign boards, as this is an American site with a majority of American readers and posters. I only say that as means to assist you with avoiding further discussions in which your lack of American knowledge beguiles you (however we have all witnessed your American stereotypes they are so typical of self-smitten foreigners/ transplants). Happy posting, Meko |
| Posted By: Aurora Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 651 | RE: Female president My Darling Meko, Meko: No offense ladies, but if history repeats it self we will have the first black president before a women. Aurora: Meko, how can history repeat itself if it hasn't happened yet? Meko: Um er the a right to vote... ring any bells? Aurora: Actually no Meko, it doesn't ring any bells. You see Meko, at first you gave no clue as to what history you were referring to. I am not saying anything about Blacks rights in Canada, as I do not know of any legislation saying they could or could not vote. As far as I know, they were allowed to vote at any point in Canadian history. I could be wrong, as I freely admit I am not a history buff. I apologize for my egregious spelling error, what ever came over me I shall never know. I believe you have gotten overly snippety about this whole subject. I was simply asking for your take on the matter of the information that I found. I have never claimed to know a lot about american history. You answered my question essentially by restating what was in the quote I posted, but I am asking for more information, and your opinion. If you want to have a discussion about history repeating itself or not, I need to know of what history you speak. Which is why at first I was going to let the topic die, but you persisted in having me comment. And lastly, if you believe calling me self-smitten is an insult, you have missed your target by quite a lot. In today's society where women are asked to measure up to incredible standards, I am proud to be as self-assured as I am. |
| Posted By: Meko Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 643 | RE: Female president Cutie-pie or is that Eos my beloved, Apology graciously accepted. On the subject of Canada, I know you did not mention black rights, however you did say, That was four years after Canada allowed women to vote. My point is that Blacks voted before women in Canada as well as in America (excluding southern states I think it still might be impossible for a black man to vote in Mississippi). On the subject of our discussion, my opinion has been stated and I have yet to hear a reprise to that opinion. Now for the good stuff: In today's society where women are asked to measure up to incredible standards. What standards are you talking about? The standards men are asked to measure up to? Or do you mean the standards of both roles? I think this is my opinion rearing its head again, that everyone, both men and women, have incredibly high standards to measure up to in todays society. Competition is fierce and more and more MY government continues to place a surfeit of sex, age, race requirements on education and employment. Thus creating an unfair balance in an ever-increasing competitive market. It is also my opinion that requiring quotas deflates the true value of a person. I am all for equal rights as long as the playing field is truly equal. It pains me to see that some women out there are babbling this glass ceiling feminist rights BS. And thats my opinion. Adu Eos, Meko |

| Posted By: Aurora Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 626 | RE: Female president Sweetie, I assure you my comments were not those of a feminist nature. It was a hastened opinon on the image of women in the media. We are asked to be super models, yet mothers. We are told we should strive to be equal in the business world, yet stay at home with our kids. I am by no means a feminist, but rather an equal opportunist. I have no desire to take the jobs of men if men are better qualified. I do not expect a man to pay for my dinner when he takes me out. Although I do appreciate the door being opened for me, I counter this by unlocking the passenger side door before my own when I am driving a guy around. Men and women are equals and should be viewed as such. If you do things for others it should not be because of gender rules, but simply because you want to do nice things for other people. I hold doors open for men and women, and I would expect the same back. This may seem a little off topic, but I can bring it back. Years ago the world was very male driven. Today there are many many feminist groups fighting for equality. I am not saying it will happen, but I would be interested to see what would happen if a white woman ran against a black man. |

| Posted By: Meko Posted On: Mar 26, 2004 Views: 615 | RE: Female president Eos, Please accept my apologies for my unfettered rudeness. I appreciate and respect your view on chivalry. I think we all could use a bit more kindness in our lives. As for the presidential race, I agree it would be interesting possibly Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton? I have enjoyed the exchange and look forward to the future. Meko |

| Posted By: mournlight Posted On: Mar 27, 2004 Views: 603 | RE: Female president If my recall skills are intact, blacks were allowed to vote here in the US long before the Civil War. They had rights and then those rights were taken away and slavery began. There were black mayors and councilmen and such before economics led to slavery, and in some instances these two events were happening at the same time (North and South areas being quite different.) I remember being very surprised to read about some black legislators here in Tennessee long before the war. After the war, women ended up with the right to vote before blacks regained the right. |

I swear, if those ****s would quit belittling men and just give some sensitivity head, they'd get more accomplished on capital hill!! |
