Reply to: OBAMA the BIG question

[Diver]

Undoubtedly Obama got the black vote, in many cases immobilising people who'd never voted before, but he won the election because the Electoral Colleges were ready to vote for anyone other than another republican.

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.

Er! Mobilising

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'm a staunch liberal, but I agree, I'm seriously sick of the way the media is presenting this issue. First of all, just stating that he's black as a fact is borderline racism. He's half white, the fact that ppl see him as black tells volumes about how ppl are conditioned racially.

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

Don't forget that there was a certain percentage that did not vote for Obama because his middle name is Hussain.

Trolling perchance?

Why is it trolling? Because you don't agree with his viewpoint?

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.

Is it your turn to be village idiot today?

AtW is on holiday.

[Moscow Mule]

Had to laugh at the news last night.

Lots of black people people in South London being interviewed and the over theme of the day was.......

"All we need now is a black prime minister and this country will be good also"

So we have now come to associate a black leader with improvements to an area/country without no evidence to do so!!!!!

Wonder what they will be saying if he really ****s up!

You shouldn't mock the ill-educated. They'll end up knifing you.

[Moscow Mule]

So are all the black people that voted for Obama!

Controversial, but true.

Shame the media have to constantly remind us they're black, proves they're racist. So are all the black people that voted for Obama!

Controversial, but true.

Will it be worth more or less when he moves in and decides it's only fitting the white house is repainted black? I'd love it if he did that, really wind up the red-necks.

Not been a good week for the racist nutjobs. First black F1 champ, and now first black President. Shame the media have to constantly remind us they're black, proves they're racist. So are all the black people that voted for Obama!

Controversial, but true.

How much is his house worth???`

The daily mail will tell us if he gets assassinated

[Stan.goodvibes]

Probably a fair bit less than when he started out on the campaign trail...

[HairyArsedBloke]

A LOT more than if he had lost. It's now over 10,000 dollars, but you could probably bid them down. Fancy a bid? Here it is.

Which one? The one on Pennsylvania Avenue or his other gaff?
