All the news coverage I was watching kept mentioning the race factor, but only when talking about white voters not voting for Obama, they were mentioning 8% as the figure that they interpreted that may be swayed by his colour on the day of polling.
95% of African Americans voted for Obama and I bet you it was far more than 8% of them that were swayed by his colour.
Fine, America has voted a black man into the White House, well done now lets gone on with life. It's only the Apologists and Liberals who will keep going on about this as a momentous day and stating "We voted a black man into the white house, we're not racist" well in my eyes that's just as racist as the white hill billy red neck who states "I ain't votin for no c**n".
I hate Apologists almost as much as I hate Liberals, why apologise for something that happened before my grandparents were born, I had no involvement in it, all it feeds is this victim mentality that seems to affect some (notice I said some, not all or even most) people and leads to crap like affirmative action and positive discrimination, I mean how insulting is that:
"You got the job, but only because you're black"
It's just a pity this board has an abundance of both."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
On them! On them! They fail!Comment

The popular vote (i.e. the real people) was a lot closer, and if people weren't so fed up with the republicans, the colour of his skin could have been all it took for him to lose.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Don't forget that there was a certain percentage that did not vote for Obama because his middle name is Hussain.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
Spock: "Trained? Judging from you, I would have guessed it was trial and error."Comment

This is not nearly the achievement it's made out to be, the people presenting these news are the evidence themselves.Comment
