If you are a 7 year old African-American child...
up until January, you had only known an African-American president.
How cool is that!
Maybe also for a 10 year old, who wasn't paying attention at age 3... only a black president.
There are so many of us with the older perspective of "I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime!"
But imagine the perspective of a child.
There is no "I didn't think it would happen". It's "this is how it is, and therefore, isn't it supposed to be this way?"
I am determined to ask some 5-10 year olds what they think a president is supposed to look like.
Typical DU - they see everything through a racist lens. It's now somehow "good" for children to think our President should look a certain way. You racist POS.
This thread is from Saturday and has only 7 replies. The race mafia and their sympathizers are surprisingly absent, except for the queen...

1. My youngest is seven
She hate Trump so bad. She had no idea anybody else could be president besides Obama or Hillary. She still talks about how she wishes it was Hillary
A white woman? We cannot be having any of that now.

If that is the case then you aren't doing a very good job of raising your kid. You're filling her with false expectations that will only lead to a life of disappointment.

I'm trying to remember if I gave a s**t who was President when I was seven. Probably not, I was to busy running around with my Red Ryder BB gun.

Like jukin said, bn's child abuse was successful. And if bn is teaching her little one to hate ALL white people for their skin color, her daughter wouldn't even have much of a career as a stripper or prostitute.

As the welfare cycle continues.

I sure as heck didn't. I didn't pay much attention to JFK from his being elected through the Cuban Missile Crisis, and then his assassination.

Same here. I kind of remotely understood about presidents and elections cause mom and dad would discuss it at the dinner table. Didn't pay much attention... only thing I was concerned with was getting the food down so I could go back outside and play. :cheersmate:

Her youngest? She has bred more than once?
I wonder how many of this bitch's spawn we are paying for?

I was 7 years old and I remember wanting Nixon to win.
Back on topic. Obama has proven that once you go black, you can go back. :-)

My guess is >4 with just as many baby daddies.

Nicole Simpson would beg to differ.
If OJ hadn't sliced her throat first, that is.

Why limit the number of baby daddies to the number of children? :bolt:

Which time, :-) . :bolt:

Both times. But I kind of liked Snoopy in '72. :rofl:

So 1960 was before your time?
I liked Pat Paulsen, too.

1960 was before I was born, so yeah it was before my time. Pat Paulsen ran several different times, IIRC.

Seven years old for me was the heart of the Carter error. I cared that Carter was President solely because my father would come home from the office pretty much furious every night because the interest rates were absolutely murdering his business (commercial lending). We would all be inside and ready for dinner by the time Dad got home (usually just before 6:00), so the only thing on TV was the network news, replete with all of the misery that was befalling the country while Carter buttoned his cardigan.
But I undoubtedly remember my father coming home, stomping through the living room muttering obscenities about Carter on the TV as he went to his bedroom to change for supper.
I have only a very faint memory of watching Nixon leave the White House on B&W television while I sat on the floor in diapers, and a similar recollection years later looking at the footage of the last helicopter taking off from the Saigon embassy (not in diapers, but I didn't really have a genuine grasp of what was going on, other than that it was obviously important). And I have VIVID memories of going with my mother to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980. Back then, voting booths were actually booths, so you went in, pulled the curtain, and flipped little levers to cast your vote in each particular race. Then you pulled a big lever on the right that simultaneously cast your vote (via punchcard) and opened the curtain. At least at the time, they had little stools in the voting booths, and people would have their kids in the voting booths with them. So I was placed up on the stool and I "cast my vote" for Reagan, technically the very first vote I cast, even if it wasn't really my own. I was barely nine years old (my birthday was about eight days earlier), but the excitement for Reagan was absolutely electric around here at that time.

I'm old enough that I could have voted for RMN's third run, but OMG! Carter's MALAdministration! Gas lines, consumer interest rates in the 20% range (I think a few states had to alter their usury laws!), unemployment north of 10%, Iran Hostage Crisis! In the latter half of his F-Up I worked as a junior tech for the company that was making the display systems - panel and HUD - for the F/A-18, then still in development and testing. Many Congressional Ds were still in slash-the-military mode, and the Hornet was one of their targets for extermination. So I was hoping that Carter & the Ds wouldn't send me into unemployment.
