It's unbelievable how many times I heard, "I won't vote for Obama because he's black," or something to that extent (usually with much worse wording). Also, we still have a lot of people who think that Obama will be assassinated because he's black. (Some people may have seen a recent topic about the subject that didn't go too well.)A lot of people also voted for him solely because he was black. Could have walked on stage said he was Jesus Christ and been shit faced drunk and there would still have been people voting for him "because he's black".
If he gets assassinated I'll blame his social policies. His ideas pissed off a lot of people A LOT. Though if he gets assassinated because he's black I wouldn't be surprised. At this point I'll keep my mouth shut to avoid pissing off a fuck ton of people.
People will always judge people who aren't the same. If we were all white we would all be judgmental of people with blond, brunette, or red hair. Everyone in the country has some bit of prejudice if not open racism. If you claim you aren't prejudice then you are a blatant liar. It's human nature to be skeptical of those who aren't like you.

If anything is possible now,I'd off ran outside screaming any word that comes to my mind and started ripping off my clothing infront of infants screaming illiterate words at them while they stared at my privates and large amounts of pubic hair as I did jumping jacks on top of a park bench all the way in houston,Texas.

Haha, I just saw a bumper sticker on the way to work today that says:
"Nothings impossible you say?
Try slamming a revolving door then."

haha! it was so worth reading through this topic just for that. i do however agree with the fact that if this guy being elected is some form of progress for the US then there pathetic. the only way id believe that to be true is that bush didnt get elected again, i was so waiting for him to repeal the 2 term rule so he could rig the election again. suddenly king bush! so yeah, i think its progress that that didnt happen, progress from how there country sat back and watched all the bullshit he was pulling.

There's a difference between being skeptical of people that are different and thinking that every person that's different in some way is retarded or worse as a person. Like, I may take people with curly hair less seriously, but I wouldn't deny people with curly hair any rights or think that they're all stupid.
About Obama's ideas, have they really pissed people off? I know that some conservatives have been pissed off, but mostly I've just heard good things from people concerning Obama and his ideas. A lot of the time, people have been too optimistic, in fact. And a lot of McCain supporters I've talked to didn't want Obama to win, but they weren't furious about what he planned to do.
You have a good point about some people voting for Obama just because he was black. That's still racism, and it's still bad. But I bet a couple of those people who voted for Obama just because he was black don't follow politics in the least and would have voted for Hilary if she had won against Obama, just because she was a Democrat. The same thing would have happened on the other side, too, of course, with some people voting for McCain simply because he was a Republican. There will always be some people who vote for a person based solely on his party.

We have Black Ceo's, black politicians and now a black president elect. They can't say "America is still racist. Jesse and his crew still operate under the idea that institutionalized racism still exists.Institutionalized racism may not be rampant, but racism in America is still very strong, at least here in the South. And that pisses me off. A lot.

dude, it's not only in the south... some states above the mason/dixon line actually believe that they are southern. my state is one of them, Pennsylvania is the pseudo south, only on top of a mountain. Racism is thick enough here you could cut it with my ragingly hard cock.

Have a talk with Ziggy then. She believes the exact opposite.
