Commentary: Voting against Obama doesn't make you a racist

[Modbert]

most people like me will vote against him b/c he's trash and i can do better

How is he trash? And can do better? With whom?

 

[Modbert]

What do you mean by 'where they were wrong'?

When they rioted, when it was wrong for them to riot. There is rioting for justice and for freedom. Then there is justice for the sake of rioting, causing chaos, and for no reason.

 

[Modbert]

Happened in California and Mississippi Los Angeles riots of 1992 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia right or wrong theres a major difference in peaceful demostration and flat out acting like animals....

Because it was just blacks who rioted during that. .

Flat out acting like animals? Take away electricity from everybody for two years, see how many people are "civilized" after that.

People will vote against him because he is half black and that his full name is Barack Hussein Obama.

If you don't want to admit that, your ignorance is astounding.

Im not voting for him because he's flat out unqualified for the job, PLUS all the other things you mentioned...I would never betray the heritage of my ancestry nor the forefathers of this country USA, absolutly not...

That's a judgement call. Rioting usually doesn't solve the problem. Ghandi proved that. The riots that happened after the Rodney King verdict were clearly wrong, yet they still rioted.

The forefathers of this country who wiped out the Indians, denied women the right to vote, owned slaves, denied non-landowners the right to vote, and of course only rebelled when THEY were getting heavily taxed.

Yeah, those guys you are so very proud of.

There will be a significant percentage of white Democrats who will say that they will vote for Obama, yet will not because he is black.

Well hells bells, they were probably pissed off the trial was moved from it's original venue to the place where all the retired cops go to live.

If that's not trying to get the cops a aquittal, I don't know what was.

The rioting in general was wrong, but it wasn't just blacks who were rioting.

Probably so, I'm not doubtful of that. Because then they will be deemed racist and they don't want that.

It's great to see Obama run, least then we get to know how racist this country really is once we down to it. We pride ourselves on being diverse, and a land of freedom but in the end it really isn't. It's a land full of crime, racism, sexism, and a bunch of bullshit that passes for freedom.

This is an interesting post. Obviously you have contempt for the men who formed this country. What needs to happen before you will be proud of America?

I dont give a flying rats ass what your version of it is you socialist history rewriter. Opinions are like assholes we all got''em, some just stink worse than others, and your's pretty dam fowl from where i stand. Besides Im half Choctaw Indian, the african tribe chiefs were the biggest profiteers of black slavery not the whites nor anyone else. So dont come in here trying to sale your rewriten history BS

Which is why HRC won so soundly over Obama, despite the fact that the polls said something differently, right?

Oh...wait....



If the Bradley effect was real, it would have shown up in the Democratic Primaries. There is no evidence it did. You can keep on hoping, but that shit ain't real.

So you think we should be proud of people who thought Blacks were 3/5ths of a person? Is this similar to your views?

I don't have contempt for them. I just think it's ironic that we pride ourselves on saying how great these men were when they really weren't.

I am proud of America in general, for the freedoms we use to have and the American Dream that use to exist.

It's the hypocrisy that ruins this country for me in a way. I would love to be completely proud of America, but with everything that goes on in this country, it's impossible.

Racism still exists to a wide extent if this election has shown us anything.
Sexism still exists to a certain extent.

Plus the Politicans who cheat, steal, and lie to the American people. I don't usually get energized by candidates. Growing up, I wasn't that energized about candidates about Gore or Kerry though I thought both were better then Bush.

Beisdes Im half Chactaw Indian, the african tribe chiefs were the biggest profiteers of black slavery not the whites nor anyone else. So dont come in here trying to sale your rewriten history BS

"Socialist history rewriter"

Oh I'm sorry, did Thomas Jefferson not own slaves?

Did Women not gain the right to vote legally until 1920?

Did black men not have the right to vote until after the Civil War?

Did Slavery not exist until during the Civil War?

Did the Jim Crow laws not occur?

How about segeration in the schools?

How about the Government killing mass amounts of Indians off their land and relocating them to the worst spots in this country?

Ever hear of the "Trail of Tears"?

And this made me go W-T-F:

"Beisdes Im half Chactaw Indian, the african tribe chiefs were the biggest profiteers of black slavery not the whites nor anyone else. So dont come in here trying to sale your rewriten history BS"

So because your part Indian, I'm suppose to be wrong? If I'm half black, does that make you wrong?

African tribe chiefs did profit off selling some of their people, but Whites were certainly the ones who ended up profiting the most in the end. They were the ones who got the free labor to run the plantations.

It's not rewritten history, the facts are there. You just decide not to listen to it.

Forgot to mention that too. They weren't even counted as people.

They couldnt have gotten the free labor had it not been sold to them????question maybe who approached who to sale who????

Hoping? Why would I be hoping for racism? Look, if you want to use the race card, that's your crutch, not mine. I'm just reading the news. Here's the lastest:

Barack Obama's race remains an issue in swing state Ohio - Telegraph

Well, no, they were 3/5ths of a person! But in a way they weren't people at all. Hence the whole "we the people" really meant "we the white people".

 

[xsited1]

It was a different time. Blacks weren't considered to be a complete person. You can condemn everyone back then for their ignorance, but I don't believe that would be fair.
