Race relations sour in US

[BlueHen86]

If Obama loses next week it's not because we've become more racist in the last four years, it's because people aren't happy with the job he's done so far.

That's not true. Anyone who doesn't vote for Obama is a racist.

As is anyone who votes for him.

There are a lot of racists out there. Some voted for him because he's black, others voted against him because he's black.

Most people probably voted along party lines and didn't care about skin color. They aren't racists, they are partisans.

We may be more partisan today than we were 4 years ago, but I don't think we are more racist.

One question? , who can you be bigot because you voted for Obama? 85% of AA vote DEM anyway. So tell me, how are you a Bigot. Now if 90% of AA voted for Allen Keyes (Repuke), then you would something to talk about.

Are you really trying to make the argument that nobody who voted for Obama is a racist?

YES! How can you prove it?

Howard Stern did a great bit 4 years ago where he had a reporter asked black people on the street why they were voting for Obama. The reporter asked leading questions like:

Are you voting for Obama because you like his anti-abortion stance?
Are you voting for Obama because you like his choice of Sarah Palin as VP?
Are you voting for Obama even though he is a Republican?

The answer was often 'yes'. In each case the reporter credited Obama with one of John McCain's stances, and yet many people said yes. It was obvious that they weren't voting for Obama based on issues.

That may not be proof, but it's good enough for me. You have your head in the sand (or someplace worse) if you don't think black people can be racist.

So who else would AA vote for?? All of this is total BULLSHIT!! Obama could have been pink, and AA would have voted for him.

Or maybe they wouldn't have voted at all. IIRC the AA turnout was higher last election that normal. Sounds like a lot of AA headed to the polls just to vote for Obama.

Also, you can still be a registered democrat, vote democrat and be a racist. None of those things are mutually exclusive.

So you're saying they're not racist but incredibly stupid?

So now you are man becaused they voted..........................CLASSIC!!!! This proves my point!!!! You should want every American to Vote. This is our right. People have died for the right for every American to Vote.

Blacks are racists for NOT voting for Allen Keyes. This is reverse racism. You're racists if you don't vote for the black guy but you aren't racists if you don't vote for the white guy?

So I'm a Bigot because I vote for white men from 1988 until 2004.

I'm a man because I was born that way.

Did you mean to say 'mad'? Where did I say I was mad? I'm just making an observation, I never passed judgment on it. Try not reading stuff into my posts, it's hard to have an intellegent discussion with someone who makes stuff up.

No!!! you still have not proved that AA who vote for Obama are bigots. I want facts.

If a white guys says "I'm not a bigot, some fo my best friends are black"; he's probably a bigot.
By the same token (pun intended) if a black guys says "I'm not a bigot, I voted for a white guy"; he's probalby a bigot.

No you don't. You're in denial, you want reassurance.

Hold on, so now I'm a Bigot becasue I voted for a White guy and I'm a Bigot because Im voted for Obama.............lol ok, WHATEVER!!!!

So you think that if you're black and you vote for a white guy that means that you aren't a bigot? That's good to know.

I'll vote for Obama next week, that way I can do all the cross burning I want and use the "n" word freely - but I'm not a bigot because I voted for a black guy.

Great logic there Mr. Spook... er I mean Mr Spock.
Sorry for the racial slur, I'll be sure to vote for a black guy and make up for it.

You voted for a white guy because there wasn't a black guy on the ticket.

I don't care who you vote for. We weren't discussing who you should vote for, we were discussing racism. Once again, try not reading stuff into my posts that isn't there.

Because what you said is dumb as crap. Because black people vote for Obama that makes them Bigots! REALLY!!...REALLY thast all you can come up with. So I guess you are a Bigot because you vote Rep. At least I can back bullshit that up with facts.

Never said that either.

I said some people will vote for him because he is black. Note the use of the word 'some'

I also never commented on the skin color of the voter - you read that component into it. Nice job, way to convince people that you aren't a bigot.
