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.

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.

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.

The president can't really do anything but declare war, you know. Nothing good happened in the first half of bushes reign because the congress had the opposite ideas - but, though most people haven't noticed, Bush wasn't such a bad president in his later years.

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.

Actually color NO LONGER matters

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/24/poll.race/


Seven out of 10 -- or 70 percent -- of Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. Survey released Friday said the race of the candidates will not be a factor in their vote for president this year.

That 70 percent figure is up 9 points from July, when the same question was asked. Only 5 percent of those polled said race will be the single most important factor in their choice for president, with 11 percent saying it's one of several important factors, and 13 percent indicating race will be a minor factor in their vote.


Yes we can!!!

Race played less of a role in the election than age, exit polls showed.

While Obama is projected to be the nation's first black president, John McCain would have been the oldest person ever elected to the nation's highest office.

Twice as many of those polled Tuesday said age was an important factor in their vote as those who said race was.

Among those factoring age into their vote, 78 percent went for Obama to 21 percent for McCain, exit polls showed.

State-by-state polling
Those who said race was an important factor voted 55 percent to 44 percent in favor of Obama. But Obama also was the winner by a similar margin among those who said race was not important, "which suggests that race was not a decisive factor in this election," Schneider said.

The economy was the top issue in the election among 62 percent of voters questioned in exit polls on Tuesday.

It was far ahead of the second-place issue, the Iraq war, which was named as the top concern of 10 percent of voters polled.


Obama won 2/3 of those who said race was important and
Obama won  2/3 of those who said race was NOT important.
