Gov. David Paterson: Minority Success Stories Make People 'Nervous'

Paterson only has this office because of Spritzer's stupidity.

he was not elected to this job.

and any opposition he now faces, is more to his own actions, and not his skin color.

why is it when someone is doing a bad job, rather than admit they cannot handle it, they choose to scream racism, agism, or any ism that they think will fit.

Minority success stories do indeed make some people nervous. Those people are race pimps who have no source of income or reason to exist if minorities are successful. I name YOU, Governor Paterson.

Not afraid of genuine success stories. I worry about the affirmative action assisted success stories. Think about that if you find youself in an emergency room with a black physician or in a airliner with a black pilot.

People using race to make excuses is what makes people nervous. And irritated. And bored.

I am a resident of NYS, and had hoped Paterson would do a better job, but after his making this remark, I see the growing problem.

no matter how much is done, no matter how many barriers are broken, it will never be enough.

and we the white population will always be blamed no matter how many of us really do not give a damn what color someone is. but rather how well they do the job, we expect them to do.

Paterson has shown he cannot do this job any better than anyone before him, despite his being black and they were white.

so he blames his color rather than himself.

that is a cop out, and an insult to every person black or white, who takes responsibility for their own actions, and does not project their own inadequacy's on others.

Governor Paterson needs to honestly evaluate his performance.

PETITION FOR PUBLIC RELEASE OF
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE
To: Electoral College, Congress of the United States, Federal Elections Commission, U.S. Supreme Court, President of the United States, other controlling legal authorities
Whereas, by requirement of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen;

Whereas, there is sufficient controversy within the citizenry of the United States as to whether presidential election winner Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii as he claims;

Whereas, Barack Obama has refused repeated calls to release publicly his entire Hawaiian birth certificate, which would include the actual hospital that performed the delivery;

Whereas, lawsuits filed in several states seeking only proof of the basic minimal standard of eligibility have been rebuffed;

Whereas, Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to be registered in Hawaii;

Whereas, concerns that our government is not taking this constitutional question seriously will result in diminished confidence in our system of free and fair elections;

SIGN THE PETITION
We, the undersigned, assert our rights as citizens of the United States in demanding that the constitutional eligibility requirement be taken seriously and that any and all controlling legal authorities in this matter examine the complete birth certificate of Barack Obama, including the actual city and hospital of birth, and make that document available to the American people for inspection.

If non-whites read most of the posts by AOL users, I could see where they would become very, very paranoid, indeed. Not that most AOL posters would understand why. Racial prejudice seems so ingrained, they can't even recognize it in themselves.

Sorry, Gov. I'm not buying your "I'm Black, therefore anyone who disagrees with my Governance must be racist" whining. You were not voted for, nor did people vote against you, because of race. You are a replacement Governor, and you have to prove your political knowledge and effective decision making just like any other Governor, regardless of their race. Are there some people who don't like the job you're doing because you're Black? I'm sure there are. But you do a disservice to the citizens of NY City by suggesting the majority of them are racists who won't give you a chance because you're Black. Be a man and do your job to the best of your ability. This in and of itself will prove your political worth, or disprove it, as the case may be.

GOVERNOR PATTERSON. IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN. IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE INCOMPETENT.

They don't make 'all' people scary; suggesting otherwise is lazy and reckless. Most people experience envy and jealousy and yes there are many racists; all threee types have moments of anxiousness or anger when others succeed.

Christ, get a friggin grip Patterson, you failed to do the job. white people get fired everyday too.

What is worse, an allegedly incompetent and unelected official (like Mr. Paterson) or a duly elected (at least, according to the Republicans) cretin like Mr. Bush?
