America is a notoriously insular country, I guess to the point of yelling like fucking retards at people who take an interest in foreign politics.

Actually I agree with the other poster. Those who said race was a factor and those who didn't.. for both of them 53% voted for Obama.

I like your avatar.  

In my multi-cultural studies class, my teacher was talking about how it tends to be white people who think race shouldn't matter.  And I kind of think it shouldn't, so for me it's true... I don't know how I feel about that.

You're from England you're not going to have a black prime minister.
America is a world superpower. The leader of America and the decisions they make affects the world. Therefore in a way Obama is my president too.

Does that make you American?

Be quiet. You have no influence and no vote. Stop out of foreign politics. Just because America is powerful doesn't mean you are able to say anything. And Europeans are hypocrites, they'll never have a top minority government official. All they ever do is talk and seek to further their own agenda.


If you are actually from Canada, I suggest you shut up too, then. At least by your definition.

he is not even black    
  he is half white and half arabic

 

 Get it right, he is not Arabic. His father is from Kenya.


But my point is that shouldn't matter. The day no one even mentions the colour of his skin is the day racism is truely over.

colorblindness is a hinderence to any real movement to 'get over' race.

The problem isn't people being racist against him that is wrong with him being a mulatto president.

 
It's that he is now representing all Negroes. If he does well, we're going to have every other president Black. If he doesn't... well, next time people may think twice about voting in a Negro.

If he get's assassinated - we'd get another Negro holiday (if MLK wasn't enough...), and a spate of viciously anti-White legislation. This will be forcing "tolerance" on Whites, which I believe will make racism LARGER.

I have absolutely no doubt that a McCain win will cause the biggest Negro rampage in history, eclipsing even the Rwanda bloodletting and the Haitian holocaust. If this happens this year, we will have a big deal of White-Black prejudicial feelings - maybe tearing us all apart and bringing back the racist days.

 
Or maybe I'm over exaggerating. We'll see how it goes. I've heard ammunition sales have skyrocketed in many places - in case of riots.


Oh my god get over yourself. It's not going to cause another segregation but it might affect the outcome of future presidential races.

I sure hope it doesn't - but it COULD.
