Before I give a “real” response…I want you to sit back and really think about that statement for a minute. I sure as hell know you didn’t think before making it.

Well…probably not…we’ve been there too many damn times with HH on that crap.

I probably should have left my response at this. If any further debate even flows from this, I will know I should have.

Cause you know…we’re gonna be slave masters by next summer…got my plans for my plantation drawn up as we speak.

I’ve got a bad back and flat feet. Honestly, I think I’m better used in the house. Could you pass that along the channels?

Done…but you better be a darker shade of white.[/quote]

You’re not going to be able to afford him with the tax increases.

I wonder if they polled the white voters.

Why is the black vote such a big deal? They historically vote liberal in the 90%+ every election.

I’m glad somebody asked this question, especially after all of the bullshit on these forums about race having nothing to do with anything.

To really make sense out of that, you need to go back to say Eisenhower and look at how many white people voted for him and how many black people weren’t allowed to.

Right. 50 years ago, they couldn’t vote. Now, a black man is president.

If I was black, angry, jaded, and hopeless… I would have done whatever I could to get to the polls. [/quote]

Not to knock you FI, but they are voting for the party that attempted to refuse them their civil rights. Do you see the backwardness in that at all?

That may have been a stupid comment on my part… apologies around… but what I see is disturbing nevertheless. Rather than being evidence of racial unity, I believe the election was an outright racial contest in which members of one group were primarily or solely concerned with advancing their standing relative to that of another group.

We just elected a total asswipe, a lawyer, the latest in a long line of utterly worthless politicians seeking power, who just happens to be black, and people are jumping up and down hysterically, crying, screaming in approval of his utterly bankrupt platitudes, offering cult-like allegiance, calling him the messiah… and you guys really think this is healthy? Well, in fact, it is clear evidence that we have far worse racial problems than most people are even aware of.

You just shoved your other foot into your big mouth. You truly have no concept of what racism really looks like or how it affects people, and defending your idiotic statement by crucifying a politician is cheap, easy, & not even valid because everyone knows politicians are scumbags.

I don’t blame you personally though because it’s clear you don’t really know how in-the-dark you are.

Even assuming white-guilt may have played a part in this election and ignoring how utterly charismatic Obama is relative to McCain, that still doesn’t make your statement even close to valid. Most blacks are STILL holding their breath that they’ll see a black president. And guess what… Blacks that vote Democrat/socialist/whatever you call it, ARE VOTING IN THEIR INTEREST because they make up such a disproportionate section of those living in poverty.

So at least be honest and blame blacks for being lazy and poor since that’s what you mean to say. Don’t fucking blame them for voting for a black man that is proposing do do things IN THEIR INTEREST and them call THEM racist. Fuck your post was stupid.

LMAO. Do you really think Oprah was crying tears of joy on national television because she’s going to be paying far higher taxes in the near future, and she’s happy for all the poor people who are going to benefit from her money?

68

Just going to post one example for you retards who act like this is the FIRST TIME A DEMOCRAT got over 90% of the black vote. Black people are DEMOCRATS, the party of Kennedy and LBJ!! You know, Civil rights were kind of a big issue back in '68. I guess you never heard of Nixon’s southern strategy? Anybody?? Bueller, Bueller?

Here is Michael Steele (Who’s Black) voting results against a White Candiate Cardin in 2006 for Maryland’s Senate Seat.

Steel Black Vote % 25

Cardin Black Vote % 75

3 OUT OF 4 Blacks went with the white dude. Please explain this to me since they all vote for only there kind.

Another example Lynn Swann against Rendell in Pennsylvania

Rendell Black Vote 87%

Lynn Swann’s Black vote 13%

Was it race?? You Decide!!

That is also my biggest fear and precisely the reason that I started this thread. The current voting trends support this idea, so either conservatives have to find a way to appeal to these demographics, or we hope that this election was just an anomaly. The latter is definitely a possibility, but with early-voting running rampant, education at all time lows, and minority populations increasing faster than whites, it may just become the norm.[/quote]

So you are scared that with more people voting your candidate wont win. thats the problem of living in a democracy buddy its SUPPOSE to be about helping the greatest majority, not just the elite few… More people vote=greater chance of electing the candidate that helps the most people… thats what its about…

Tell me, how does Oprah represent the majority of American black culture to the point where we can make these generalizations? Oh wait, she clearly doesn’t, does she?

The fact that you cited Oprah is very revealing of your assumptions, however. You seriously got it all wrong, dude. I often enjoy your posts, and I’m not trying to pick on you, but these last three posts are just idiotic!

It’s quite an interesting and creative stretch to interpret “not have to worry” as “receive free goods.” hurf durf hurrr

I can’t tell if your being sarcastic, but that is actually what this election looked like to me.

People who simply wanted to see a black president for the sake of a black president. That’s the only logical reason I see people voting for someone with that much controversy around him.

Enlighten me anyone?

I cried too.

I know I have no idea what it is like to be black in America, or grow up through some of the most difficult of times for a group of people, but I know what a lot of white people in America think about black people. It amazes me to no end that white people assume I’m ignorant because they are. What is scary is what is said and believed behind closed doors, and the astounding number of total ignorant fools that are in America.

When Obama made his speech last night, it sunk in. I am no longer lying to my son when I tell him he can be anything he wants, anything he tries hard enough to be. This proves that America, for whatever reason, can open their eyes, open their hearts, and more importantly, open their minds.

Politics ASIDE, all of America stood on that stage with Obama last night, and took back a little piece of itself that we had lost, proving to the world, we stand as leader of the free world. Not with just bullets, but with the ability to look past our weaknesses, to see more than skin, only to hold up the American Dream, and again know it is true, anything is possible here.

I’m not going to worry about what may or may not happen to America under Obama for the next few days. I’m going to use the next few weeks to be proud of America, to be proud to be a part of what might be one of the most memorable moments in world history. This morning will be written about and studied for generations.

You ignorant fool. Obama is a pure Marxist…and I was not on stage with him last night nor will I ever be on stage with a seditious Marxist like him. No American generation will study the events of last night because in 4 years there won’t be an America to study.

You and your ilk have killed us all with your foolish choice.

Two things… How can we measure ‘white guilt’ if that’s what we assume prompted this vote, and can we seriously blame poor classes for voting for a socialist leaning candidate if putting food on the table TOMORROW is perceived as a problem?

Ultimately, the argument is grossly oversimplified. We shouldn’t ignore the foreign policy positions of Americans, especially when we consider the lack of popularity for a two-front war in Afghan/Iraq.

I, and I think many others would actually take the completely opposite viewpoint of Zap, and conclude that Africa isn’t worth giving handouts to until we’ve cleaned up our own backyard. Frankly, at this point I am MUCH more worried about not even needing to interfere with the middle east than I am worried about AIDS in Africa.

Are you sad?

Those numbers are sooo skewed. Not only is CNN probably a biased source, but these numbers are only from those willing to disclose who they voted for at the exit polls. Now how many black people at the exit polls are going to admit they voted for McCain? Dare they be called an Uncle Tom, or would they feel ashamed to admit it in front of others in a predominantly black polling area?

I really hate almost all polls and surveys. Anyone that has taken a basic level class on statistics and surveying wouldn’t even bother to waste time administering such an atrocity. Of course, there is always the pile of shit that is CNN.

79

No need to ‘measure’ anything, just look around you and make a casual observation about the way people are acting. Racially obsessed black people going batshit crazy who are clearly concerned about nothing other than having a black president and nutless pandering white people desperate to prove how happy they are that black people are having their day and how down they are with ‘their’ new black president, like a bunch of colorblind hippie libtards holding hands around the rainbow.

Not really. People use that expression all of the time when they are getting something for nothing.
