What If Obama Loses?

Thank you to advancedbio for your letter. It is a perfect example of white dogme and propagana. In fact, I am writing a book on the subject and will feature yours as an exact example of the stereotypical white racist. I think you meant to say that it is in fact blacks that are racist, although you failed to include any real examples to support your theory.
A white "friend" of mine said to me, "we can't let a *** into the white house". Another professed he knows that the black brain is inferior to the white!!!! These are comments of grown, wealthy white men, supposedly educated. That is the fact, the reality and the truth, as a white person I can easily state that racism is alive and well in America. I think it is based on the unspoken thinking that sharing power with any race or color is not acceptable in the eyes of the wealthy white, so we think up these moronic reasonings to try and hold up our murderous thinking.

The answer to this is simple. White people should be slaves to the black race, treated exactly like we trerated them for the next 400 years. Then we shall see the state of the white race. I am sure we would not be angry, or a bit upset with those who killed our mothers, burned our fathers and kept us as material posessions for generations. I am sure that we would love and support those who raped our daughers and lynched our sons before our eyes.

The white man has no understanding of the black mind - which the white man is the exact reason for. Not even 1 generation has passed since segregation. If white people actually got a grip on the reality of what they have done to a whole race of people, they should be mortified. But - we just say - oh, that was 5 generations ago - they should be over it by now.
Own your white past. Every time you pass a black person, you should appoligize. Especially you.
Here are the facts - for 400 years whites used the black race as material posesions to be raped, murdered and worked into the ground (11 hour days, 7 days a week). This general state of disgusting racism continued in various ways until 30 years ago and remains today in many forms, which you have illuminated for us. Thank you. May I ask, if the tables were turned against whites in that way - if your grandparents as far back as you can look were treated in this way, would you bless your oppressor? Have you ever thought about that?

I fully understand the black communities feeling some trepidation over the possibility of Barak Obama losing the election, though I am white I too feel that trepidation. Barak Obama is the best man for the job of Presidency at this time. My fear is not based on thinking that he may not recieve enough of the popular vote, but whether or not the electoral college will step in and veto that popular vote as it did in the last election, Selecting Bush over Gore.

I believe that Obama is the best and really the only choice for All Americans, and that if in the tragic event that the electoral college overrules the popular vote, then perhaps we need to discuss the termination of the electoral college.

I also believe that we will see the largest turn out for the polls this election year than we have ever seen in America, I hope that I am right, and that everyone gets registered and votes.
So please everyone get out and spread the word, help others to get registered and help others to get to the polls.

What a positive article. A show dedicated to electing Obama. Snoop Dog getting crack heads and gang members to register( more people that don't pay taxes but cost ALL of us money) a person who spent 2 years in prison (who may not be eligible to vote). And a warning, if he loses we should board up our homes because who knows what the black community will do? Racism...97% of blacks vote for a black person because he's black? Yup...that's what it sounds like.

Blacks are in fact smarter than whites for they consistantly vote for the highest bidder for their votes. Whites however, are full of all sorts of idealistic concerns that lead them to fel good abouting to slit their own throats.

For those not afraid to hear the TRUTH

Prejudice and discrimination exist in the US. If you are black you may have a harder time to get a job. You may be labeled lazy and a no good. It can be tough being black. I am happy to see so many people here, black and white, being sensitive to the problem of race. We cannot hide from it.

Some contributors here do not at all want to talk about race. Well from my experience many people who are uncomfortable to talk about it are the racists or prejudiced ones.

What is important is for us to understand that black or white, everyone has a right to run for the office of the presidency of the US. Despite certain ignorant and ridiculous comments here, Obama has shown that he has what it takes to compete with honor, win and lead. It is never a joke for someone of the minority race to mount to such a high level. At least if people are honest they should acknowledge this fact instead of insulting Obama.

What is important is for everyone to register and vote for whomsoever they wish. It is a democracy. If a black guy wants to vote for Obama, fine. If a white guy wants to vote for McCain, fine. But what is not acceptable is for people not to vote for a candidate because of his skin color. Blacks have been voting for whites ever since. Even when people such as Jesse Jackson was running. I did not see black people voting for him en masse. This is because they did not align much to his views. (Surely they were not racist then). But with Obama, he has a mesage that rings wiell with whites as well as with blacks. It is therefore not racism if blacks vote for Obama at this time. (Goodness they have been voting for white candidates over all these years.

This election is not one of race, it is one of hope. Whites and blacks are seeing a hope for significant change and are emotional about it. Indeed, some blacks are expressing themselves in a way that shows their anticipation. It is like going to a baseball game; you want your team to win and cannot see them losing. If they do you get mad. This is healthy. What this election will do is to give hope to many blacks and it will bring together whites and blacks because they will have a common cause. Some whites will be violent if Obama wins. So will some blacks. However I do not think that any black will resort to violence on McCain, but I am not sure about some hardcore whites. Reading the blogs, one sees such a tendency.

What is dangerous is to deny racism exists. What is desirable is for all races to work together towards a common cause.

One thing going for Obama is that people want to vote in a black man. Despite the black's beliefs, the majority of white people are not racist. In fact, most white people hate racists, so people like Sharpton, Jackson, Maxine Waters, McKinney, etc., would never have a chance. I've heard that "white people don't choose black's leaders". Fine. But as long as black's pick obviously racist leaders, white people won't play along.

Then comes Obama. He talked about uniting the people, admired the founding fathers, has a white mother, and we thought he really was the "chosen one". Then we start finding out about his racist past, and though he's no Sharpton, he's not our ideal.

Now we see the racism that is rampant in the black community. 90% plan to vote for Obama, why? What if 90% of the white people vote for McCain for the same reasons? Blacks think racism is bad, unless it's their tool to get ahead.

Remember the illegals who could hide in this country, take our services, send their money to Mexico, bring in their families. When the scat hit the fan was when they started parading their power (and Mexican flags) in protests in L.A. This article is all about the upcoming black protests. Maybe you thought burning down Watts, Detroit, D.C., was your way to get a bigger share of the American pie. But the protests are plain racist, and it will set you back for another 20 years.

If the type of questions and investigations reveals media bias, the media is thoroughly racist. It keeps refering to Obama's being African American while ignoring the geriatric McCain with 4 recurrences of cancer. The media ignores his white heritage. It is not just African Americans who fear an Obama loss. I am not African American, and I am afraid that Obama will lose to an incompetent Republican who is morally bankrupt personally and politically, having been a serial adulterer and caught and condemned as a corrupt member of the Keating 5. I am afraid that a woman, Palin, who charged women who were victims of rape the cost of the rape evidence kit will replace this incompetent man, a man who is a dull student, finishing 844th out of 899th in his class and, like another dull man, Bush, proud of it. Obama is still married to the wife of his youth, a Christian virtue, worked his way up from poverty like Lincoln did, honoring God's command to earn by the sweat of your brow and Jesus' command to maximize your gifts, and Obama gave up wealth to serve the poor, as Jesus would have wanted. So I am afraid that this nation will reject the best and brightest for incompetence in a pale shade of cold white, a cold white that would choose Supreme Court justices that turn down a woman's right to sue when she found out she was being paid much less than her male counterparts because of the amoral technicality, she didn't sue within so many months, never mind the company held that information a secret. I am afraid God will judge this nation when we do not choose by the fruits of one's life, and rather by our ugly prejudices. My parents live on a fixed income. Their retirement is hurt badly thanks to Bush policies that McCain backed. My retirement planning is being ruined thanks to the tanking economy, an economy McCain, who thinks 5 million a year is middle class!, and yes, I am afraid. I will vote for a morally good man and the most intelligent of the two, Obama by a country mile.

If you vote for someone because they are black, white a woman or a man you are ignorant. The people in this article sound like Obama should win the election because he is black not because he has the better policies or experience. It appears that they believe that since he is black he should be elected, this is not affirmative action and perhaps his supports are so use to having things given to them because of their race or sex they have come to expect it instead of work for it. The main issue put forth from his supporters is that if he is back vote for him regardless of the fact that he is a socialist and has socialist ideas, and surrounds him self with questionable people (past terrorists, known racists, and people known to support communist philosophies). Obama can not even make an effective argument against the person that is running & keeps referring to Bush???s record and policy, should the Republicans refer to Carter???s (the worst president I have known) policies that ran mortgages to 18% or Clinton???s sex romps in the White House because they were Democrats and so is Obama so Obama will do the same thing. Whoever you vote for it should be based on their policies, experience and what they bring with them not because of their color or sex ??? grow up.

The fact that a barack is even up for president shows that we are progressing as a country. THAT IS GREAT NEWS. From the article it seems like black men are ready to protest if he loses which will bring things back to where they were. Let's just enjoy the fact that we are crossing racial lines and we are a less bias america.

The only change we will have if Obama is elected is that we will have a black president. He's beholding to so many people with radical views that are not in the best interest of our country that there will be no change. If Obama truly represented the ideals I believe in I would love to vote for him because to some having a black president would be a signal that things have truly changed. BUT Obama is not what he seems, he's a skilled speaker, he's an empty shirt. he just doesn't have the experienced as McCain said with in the voice of a patriotic, unselfish, dedicated older man...."you just don't understand". Obama would have made a great VP, he would have gained immeasurable experience and then maybe he would be the right black man for the job.
I ask that the black community not force their hopes and dreams on an empty shirt. There will be no change. Then you'll be really really mad.

I am not black. I am not voting on the basis of gender or color. I support Obama because he is intelligent, and very knowledgeable of international relations, the economy, health, education, and much more. I am scared to death of McCain's choice for VP, Palin. She is a pistol packing, 19th century frontier type completely out of touch with the current problems or the world and the US as clearly indicated by her interview with Couric. If she gets in I'm afraid a lot of women like myself will consider exile. She in no way represents women who are not all hockey mom's nor can kill and skin a moose. I'm hoping there is enough intelligence out there to look for more in a VP.

The thing is all of the people that started from the beginning in the primaries have the main goal , not of improving life for the common person. Their goal when they get in the race is to win., no other reason. They make really nasty commercials about each other's record instead of talking about their own record, all of them have a famous line "With my plan...." but they never tell the public what the plan is. All they do is tell us how we will live a much better life with them in office. Look at it at another level such as a small business. The owner has two people apply for the manager's job. These two guys know all the employees and they make sure they tell them what they want to hear. Once they become the manager though many times they look at you like they never met you before. Same thing will happen here as it always has

Oh My God! What a splatter of garbage thinking I have just read written by Allison Samuels!! I am not sure what her point is..! Uh...WHAT IS HER POINT?????? Good Grief!, Allison! You are full of BLACK in your mind!
I can't imagine how you think...but rremember, Allison.....nobody asked what color shorts J.F. Kennedy wore.
Get off the BLACK STUFF, lady....and THINK more!!!!

I agree completely!!!!! The only difference in my opinion is i wonder how is america going to survive these times if Obama loses???? I am a latino and i swear to you if Obama were brown, pink, or even purple I would vote for him!!!! I am voting because he stands for everything that we need in a leader to keep us number one and the greatest place on earth to live!! I am voting for the first time because i just turned 18 and I am proud to not only vote for a black president but to vote down the injustices that this nation has been put through by the hands of the Republicans!!! Anyone who seriously doesn't vote for Obama because he is black is the reason why America is in the position that we are in and they should be ashamed of there ignorant ways!!!!!

I notice Obama campaigns and then tries to lie that John McCain didn't do the right thing to help the country out of this financial fiasco by going to Washington to work rather than campaign and of course Obama is trying to claim credit and what is really sad is a lot of people are buying into Obama's games.

Racism is Obama's cop out for his own failures and if you buy into this, that's a shame as I can't help you wise up, you have to figure it out for yourself. But it is so sad for you!

Vote for success and experience---John McCain / Sarah Palin!!

First of all, let me start by saying that African-Americans never stopped believing that Obama has a chance to win. He will win the Presidency and show everone that he can make a difference.
Secondly, let's stop saying that balck people are only voting for Obama because he is black. The sad truth is that there will always be something said about black votes. If Obama was a woman, then the issue would be how many blacks voted for her because she is a minority just like them and not on her values. Come on already...can we just focus on their stands. This race SHOULD NOT be based on skin color or race. Listen to what the candidates are saying and really try to understand their positions. I'm sick of all the racial comments detouring the focus from what we really need to focus on. A president that can change the way our economy is deteriorating, more and more troops are dying, and the healh care and education issues are not getting the attention they need is the kind of president that we need. Obama is change. I want every person (black , white, red, or yellow) to vote not with an honest heart and determination to change the way we live. Republicans had a chance to change things and they've made it worse.Time to go!!!!

Black, White, Brown, Yellow, Red, so what Obama has one hell of a lot of nerve and arrogance with the amount of experience he has to try for the top job. If blacks want a black on the job at least they could support someone with qualifications eg; Colin Powell. OBAMA IS A TROJAN HORSE>
