You need a lot of education to get that stupid

Some want to know why it isn’t racist when 70 percent of African-Americans vote for Obama but it is when 70 percent of whites vote against him.

The answer has to do with history.

It's all about the context!

I guess I am a racist. Lets play define people anyway you want, it seems to work for the dems....

I guess I'm a racist according to their flawed logic.

I don't like the guy, I don't trust the guy, I will never vote for the guy.

Wow what a jackass. 95% of the people who make this claim don't even have a clue what constitutes real racism.

Have you seen this Obama the Messiah painting, complete with wardrobe from Elvis, roses exploding from his crotch, and a unicorn in the background?

These people are only thinking in terms of black and white. As a gun-metal-gray person, I call discrimination.

Of course, plenty of black people have abstained from voting for white candidates throughout the years, but that isn't racism, right?

Like I'm gonna take a history lesson from this droog.

First of all, it is closer to 90% of blacks that are voting for Obama. I know the left is notoriously bad with facts, but we don't have to be.

But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American with a shot at the presidency.

Jesse Jackson took 450 delegates in 1984.

But, elsewhere, as Obama said in a recent interview, people may need to get their head around the concept of an African-American a hamas endorsed politician even seeking the presidency, let alone winning it.

I subscribe the the "content of their character" concept, barack.

But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American with a shot at the presidency. And what are they doing?

Many are responding quite well.

Baaaaa...

I don't like Obama & I am not white......am i a racist?...& Barry dissed his White grandmother....does that make him a racist?...jus'askin'.

Marxism not my cup of tea..

How tedious and dishonest.

re: #1 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

You need a lot of education to get that stupid

I would speculate at least an MBA...

I don't care if Obama was yellow with green polka dots, I could not vote for him because of the words that come out of his mouth, his actions and his beliefs.

Same with Hillary, it has absolutely nothing to do with race or gender

I don't let other people decide who and what I am, under any circumstances.

It's interesting, that most of my extended family, all Democrat voters, are the only racists that I know personally.

I am truly color blind.

About 20% of the white electorate will vote for Obama just because of this.
And right after Obama is elected the race baiters will claim that saying " I voted for Obama" doesn't mean you're not a racist.

Could it be that 70% of African Americans who vote for Obama are doing so because this is the first time in their lives an African American has a real chance at winning?
And could it be that 70% of white voters don't vote for him because they disagree with his policies and choice of friends?
Am I now a bigot for saying that?

Ridiculousness...

But, elsewhere, as Obama said in a recent interview, people may need to get their head around the concept of an African-American even seeking the presidency, let alone winning it.

It's not the color but the character.

PC run amok.

You're not racist for pointing out the obvious fact that 90% of blacks vote for Obama, but are racist for noting that 90% of white will not vote for Obama.

And you're racist for pointing any of this out.

And that means I'm a racist for posting this. Where this is headed is clear - anyone who criticizes Obama on any subject will be deemed racist. Pollsters who point out views will be considered racist or pandering to racists.

It's sickening..

sigh... When I disagreed with Edwards' socialized medicine plan that was OK, apparently I am not sexist for disagreeing with Hillary's but I am a racist if I don't Obama's socialized medicine plan.
Who knew?

I'm shocked.

/not

We'll be hearing a lot more of this garbage in the next 7 months.

Over the decades, black Americans have had plenty of opportunities to vote for white people for president. And they have done so. But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American with a shot at the presidency.

It doesn't matter what a Presidential candidate believes, says, does, or associates with? Just the color of his skin matters? WRONG, wrong, wrong. I don't vote FOR someone because they're white, believe me; cause I've voted against as many white people as I have voted for, genius. I vote for a person's policies and beliefs. I voted for Alan Keyes a few years ago, btw, when he was running against a big ol' group of typical white guys.

From small minds come meaningless, baseless points.

Since LGF is strictly 'typical white people'...

/

Voting for Obama only because he is black is racist in its own special way. The last time race was the deciding factor 6 million Jews died. Well maybe not the last time, but you get my point.

re: #14 Lobosan5

I don't like Obama & I am not white......am i a racist?...& Barry dissed his White grandmother....does that make him a racist?...jus'askin'.

If you're black it means you don't understand what it means to be black.
If you're hispanic it means you don't understand how condescendingly you are looked at by white people.

That didn't take long. Look for a huge article in Newsweek titled "You're a Goddam Racist If You Don't Vote for Him, You White Devil!"

re: #11 looking closely

How'd they end up picking Dukakis over him anyway?

Well I guess I am a racist then. I am not voting for him because I want to keep at least some of my meager paycheck, not because he is black. I truly hate it when people try and put labels on me.

Democrats are the most longstanding racists in the history of this country.

The Democrats have done the most harm to persons of color, and continue to.

Trying to force, through attacks (verbal, written or otherwise), someone to vote for a candidate based on the race of the candidate is rascist... kettle meet pot and go make some smoke you ignorant hypocritical hippie commie etc...

re: #22 lawhawk

It's sickening..

...but predictable.

Typical tactic of the left. You don't agree with our agenda then you are a racist, homophobic, bigoted, (insert your description here) right wing nutter. I'll say again, if Alan Keys, Michael Steele, Thomas Sole, Walter Williams, Condi Rice or my neighbor Lee ( a real standup guy) were to run for POTUS I not only would vote for any one of them but would help run their campaigns. It isn't the skin pigmentation, it's the thought orientation---hey how bout that for a bumper sticker?

re: #11 looking closely

And Shirley Chisholm had run for President as well. In 1972! And she won 152 delegates.

They are trying to frame the argument so there can be absolutely no criticism of Obama this election season. Other then Fox, and I have my doubts about them sometimes, it appears to be working.

'Stop racism and sexism now! Kill all white males!'

The new Dem mantra if Hillary takes the Veep.

What a maroon.

He's written this with the perspective that voting for Obama is the default action, and any other action requires justification. He gives it away, immediately, with:

Meanwhile, some white Americans are turning themselves inside out to come up with excuses for why they’re not supporting Obama.

And then:

Some want to know why it isn’t racist when 70 percent of African-Americans vote for Obama but it is when 70 percent of whites vote against him.

Wha..? When did we start having anti-ballots? I thought is was just called "liking the other person better."

Give me a break. Obama has surrounded himself with racists including Wright and Farrakhan and many lesser characters such as the Che loving lady (Che had many crude remarks about Black Cubans). He and his campaign have no right to claim racist damages when they are a source of racism. Clean your own house first, Obama.

I'm going to vote against his white half. So, it's not racism.

re: #32 JohnnyReb

You must vote for the black candidate, or you're a racist.

By the way, race is not part of this election.

Same with gender.

Let me see...

Black skin color - no problem there
From Chicago - No problem there either
Lacks experience - slight problem
claims to be from democratic party - slight problem
acts like a fucking communist - MAJOR PROBLEM

I'm already an infidel.

I guess I can handle being a racist too.

Believing that we are different races is racist.

By that logic, voting for Obama over Hillary is sexist, every President has been male, this would be the first time a woman had a shot at the nomination.

So the author is obviously a male chauvinist pig.

At this rate, the day is not far when

The fact that Robert Byrd is a longstanding racist, DEMOCRAT Senator, and he's buddies with ALL of the Democrat party, and tolerated, says it all about the Demokrat party.

re: #58 NoSubmission

But what if a black person doesn't want to vote for Obama?

Racists.

But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American with a shot at the presidency

Alan Keyes took 20% of the vote in Utah , which is demographically 94% white, in his Presidential bid in 2000. How does "racism" figure in that one?

If the argument is that blacks are voting for him "because he has a shot" that's a tautological argument.

ANYBODY has a shot who can accumulate enough votes. Wasn't Bill Clinton the first "Black" president?

As I see this, its simple. Either we live in a "color-blind" society, or we don't. Clearly we don't, and as I pointed out yesterday, to the extent that race has been a factor in this primary process, its been largely to Obama's advantage, not the other way around.

And with due respect to Navarette, I got PLENTY of problems with Obama having zero to due with his genes, and I think its perfectly rational to prefer Clinton to Obama if you are a Democrat, based on (among other things) foreign policy differences in her platform.

Does it matter that Obama is only 6.25% black?

re: #44 Occasional Reader

Brilliant.

You must vote for the black candidate, or you're a racist.

By the way, race is not part of this election.

Both statements are true! TA DA!

Once in office anybody who tries to hold him accountable for failures, flubs and scandals will also be a racist. Great racket.

Nobody is buying that nonsense anymore. We have transcended race.

re: #54 coquimbojoe

Can you say,

Robert Byrd

Meanwhile, some white Americans are turning themselves inside out to come up with excuses for why they’re not supporting Obama.

Pay no attention to the 1001 rational, thought-out, and very real reasons for not voting for BO.

Mr navarrette KNOWS your mind better than you do.

This stuff is pissing me off.
He rejects symbols of our country - flags flag pin, hand on the heart during the National Anthem, and yet wants to be the CIC of this country.
His wive hate this country.
His Pastor of 20 years hates this country
He surrounds himself with terrorists or terrorist sympathizer -Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Ali Abunimah, Hatem El-Hady, etc......
He puts his foot in his mouth nearly every day now.
His foreign policy is naive and dangerous.
He is playing the race card repeatedly.
He is really thin skinned - not a good thing for a president.
That's why he doesn't have my vote. That's not racist, main stream media, it's self preservation and smart!

This guy makes the typical error of assuming that racism is identified based on how many of each race vote for a candidate of another race rather than on what actually defines racism.......the motivation for voting or not voting for a candidate of another race.

re: #58 NoSubmission

But what if a black person doesn't want to vote for Obama?

I'd say they are pretty much on the ball.

Ruben Navarette...

Ruben Navarette is just another perennially aggrieved minority projecting his racism onto white society at large.

And let's get a few more facts clear...more than 90% of black primary voters are voting for Obama (not 70%, as claimed by Navarette). And just over half of white primary voters are voting for Hillary over Obama (not nearly 70%, as claimed by Navarette).

So which group is clearly voting along racial lines?

re: #81 firebreather

Democrats.

It's racist for you to point out that I'm racist by not voting for the candidate of the correct race. Here's why: In pointing to my racism by saying I had the chance to vote for a candidate of a different race and yet refused to do so, you are indirectly affirming that blacks are an inferior race. Therefore, by saying that we must vote for Obama in order to clear our names of the racist label, you are saying that Obama has no redeeming quality of his own and is an inferior candidate because he is black. You, sir, are a racist.

/That made my head hurt, I gotta sit down.

I would vote for Obama before voting for Navarrette. I have to see his bull every week in our local paper and he usually just ruins my morning. He is the biggest guilt monger I have ever read. Mostly he uses his pulpit to defend illegal immigrants, though only those from south of the border. Now, to show he's not a racist like republicans, he pulls this crap. Sorry, Ruben, you haven't guilted me into voting for BO yet, and you never will.

/Clearly they're all racist.

But the point is, this argument is flawed on its face.

Historically people are clannish and vote for their "own". . .white, black, Irish, whatever.

Its hypocritical to say that if Blacks prefer a "black" candidate then there is some sort of historical context that justifies it, but if whites prefer a white candidate there is no possible explanation but racism.

re: #81 firebreather

So which group is clearly voting along racial lines?

Navarette is Hispanic? Didn't know that. I still think he's a class-A dolt, does that make me racist?

This guy is dishonest or a classic idiot. Obama seems like a nice guy, but his head is screwed up with leftist drivel. Since this writer seems to be a bit perverse I think he is pandering to an idea that he has that he can make simplistic black and white arguements to achieve some underhanded goal. He is not confident to be honest. He is imagining a racist world which doesn't exist. Sure there are plenty of Rev Wright racists running around. But that doesn't mean I am going to vote for them to ease my mind or create social justice. I prefer that they take responsibility for themselves and not be public babies.

you are a racist to even mention that

That is the odd thing. While Michelle was an affirmative action baby, Obama was not. He got to the Ivy League the way whites from middle class families do. His white grandmother (as opposed to his moonbat mom) got him the best prep school education money could buy. Then he went to a good school, Uof Mich, where he got good grades. He tested well and got accepted. And while it is true both U of Mich and Harvard have very strong affirmative action programs, Michigan being the most egegious in the nation, Obama did not need it.

re: #135 pat

That is the odd thing. While Michelle was an affirmative action baby, Obama was not. He got to the Ivy League the way whites from middle class families do. His white grandmother (as opposed to his moonbat mom) got him the best prep school education money could buy. Then he went to a good school, Uof Mich, where he got good grades. He tested well and got accepted. And while it is true both U of Mich and Harvard have very strong affirmative action programs, Michigan being the most egegious in the nation, Obama did not need it.

That he is a Socialist who believes that we have 57 states would indicate that the standards at the University of Michigan aren't terribly high.

re: #145 buzzsawmonkey

As I recall, one of the things which initially supposedly made Obama an attractive candidate was that he was the "post-racial" candidate--that his candidacy was going to be proof positive that the bad old days of race hustling were over.

I can see that's working out well.

re: #139 Alouette

What painkillers is this guy on? This much stupidity must really hurt.

That much stupidity is really going to hurt this idiot down the road, but, it's all his choice.

Some want to know why it isn’t racist when 70 percent of African-Americans vote for Obama but it is when 70 percent of whites vote against him.

Someone's voting racist here, but it's not necessarily "Whites" as a blocl. So what's the explanation for the 30% of Black Americans who aren't voting for him either?

The answer has to do with history. Over the decades, black Americans have had plenty of opportunities to vote for white people for president. And they have done so. But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American
with a shot at the presidency. And what are they doing?

Uh, taking the time to listen to what the guy is saying and noticing the quality of the nasty crew of creeps he hangs out with? Why does it always seem like we are being lectured to by a first grade teacher?

Many are responding quite well.

From another person's perspective, "responding quite well" isn't how one would phrase the actions of a bunch of idiots who are too busy screaming, hyperventilating and fainting to be LISTENING to what Obama is SAYING.
Gads, a racist screed from the first capital letter to the last period. What's not racist about "White people SHOULD vote for Obama because he's black." Maybe this dude isn't used to free people who THINK! Chillingly, it bodes even worse for those 30% respesenting freedom-loving, high-achieving Blacks to whom the Leftie race-baiters are loudly snarling, "should know better, but don't."

If you are a white male conservative, you are a de facto racist.

Come on, you know the rules of life in modern America.

I had to amend that, I hope you don't mind. All white males are de facto racists; the liberals just have a "prayer bump" on their foreheads from trying to make it up. They're still racists even if they don't know it. You see, every white male is the recipient of cultural advantages that others do not have, whether they realize it or not. This innate advantage makes life in the US inherently unfair to anyone that is not a white male, and means that any criticism of any white male is defined as correct and deserved.

re: #124 eschew_obfuscation

Such statistics are meaningless without including the motivation for the votes.

Right.

If you are Black, its perfectly understandable to want to see a Black American as President. Considering that Clinton and Obama's platforms are 95% identical, why NOT vote for Obama if you were otherwise going to vote Democrat?

Conversely, if you lacked that particular motivation, you might simply go for the more familiar or experienced candidate (whom in this case is Clinton).

So this is a simple and plausible explanation that does not invoke racism AT ALL.

The man's not qualified to lead this nation. Full stop.

I refuse to justify this talking point of "racism" any more than to state "he's not qualified", because he isn't.

Definitive Non Racial Reasons To Not Vote For Barack Obama

1. Obama is five degrees left of Geroge McGovern and his proposed policies would ruin this coutnry's economy and international standing

-Obama is a socialist. Socialism did not build America, capitalism did. It follows that since socialism kills capitalism, Obama's vision of an American nanny state is out of touch with what America is supposed to be. If you look at the list of US billionaires, the overwhelming majority came from what would not be called rich families and most of these fortunes did not exist 40 years ago.
-His ideas about meeting with Hamas, Hezbolla and Iran prostitutes the US before loathesome religious bigots and murderers.

2. Obama associates with scum. Harsh words but Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko are the used shitrags of American society (Rezko and Ayers both have been indicted and have terrorism connections ). Despite his Harvard background, Obama chooses to associate with them instead of shunning them. This displays massively bad judgement on Obama's part and a frightening glimpse at Obama's inner heart.

3. He is a lousy bowler.

I was listening on NPR once to some girl who had started some e-zine back when they were the new "thing" and she went on this long rant about the mean people out there who liked to label people like her, "Those people are bigots!"

Wait a minute, wasn't that a label? Hmmm...

I figure I've been called worse things than "racist" but I'm also at that juicy point in my life where young, impressionable persons actually value my opinion for some odd reason. Sometimes it doesn't take much more than a sideways glance for them realize that I don't buy the crap coming out of their mouths. The most it takes is to mildly challenge their facts and then casually bring up Charles Martel or the Robert the Bruce and the talking points they've been fed leave them stammering a weak defense.

I'm waiting for someone to come up with 57 reasons to not vote for Obama. I get as far as 2 before I see no reason to continue:

1) no experience
2) marxist/socialist/radical leftist

I love the statistics quoted here, too. But according to all the research, 95% of all statistics are made up.

I knew this would happen if Obama would be the dem nominee. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, eh?

And if Obama loses, you're going to see the media spin McCain as the "white guy who won by the racist vote" or "America can't accept a black man as president because of racism" which certainly will be lapped up by the pussies in Canada, Euro-land, and everywhere else that wants America to fail.

The words "racist" and "bigot" are being flung about so frequently that soon they will lose all meaning. I suppose, too, that I'm a "racist" if I'm not attracted to a black girl... Gimme a break.

Everyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist.

Clinton has made the contest about race. In the early going, the vote wasn't as correlated with race. White and black voters were breaking part to her, part to Obama.

She and her husband have played the race card repeatedly. The latest bit about ``hard working people, i.e., white people, '', took the cake. It also took West Virginia.

How to forget Cattlegate and all the rest? How to forget that she can't bring herself to tell the truth even when the truth is right there on tape and she's been called on it repeatedly? (Bosnia 'sniper')? Her answer is to point at Obama and shout the N word. Or the same, in coded language.

Yes, there are probably several hundred different SureFire lights, I have several, mounted on various firearms, they have various lumen capacity, the 225 lumen will temprarily blind anyone, just with one quick shot to the eyes, and they make several models that go up to 500 lumens, with aftermarket bulbs that go upwards of a 1000 lumens.

Some of the smaller lights, 60 lumens, 80 lumens, will effectivly temporarily blind omeone, but I like the larger ones, personally.

He surrounds himself with bigots, with idiots who cannot call a terrorist a terrorist, who blame defenders of life, liberty, and land as causes of the actions that they must defend against. I vote against him as he cherry picks the worst of all possible advisors, and then doesn't apologize for doing so. I vote against him as his policies border on inane, if not outright stupid. Cancel NAFTA? Puh-leese. I vote against him because he refused to repudiate a group of bigots until it began to harm him ... not because it was the right thing to do.

Notice his skin color has nothing to do with these arguments.

Claiming otherwise is intellectually dishonest. Writing an article about this and publishing it to the world is both dishonest and racist.

My dear lefty nutjob, you never, ever vote for or against a person based upon skin color or ethnicity. To do so, pro or con, is racist.

My dear lefty nutjob, you never, ever implore others to follow your racist lead, as it shows you to be the elitist that you are.

Because no such individual could have been elected to the Illinois senate in Obama's district.

Any such individual (John Edwards comes to mind) would have been trounced early in the process by H. Clinton.

Strip away the race, and Obama is a senator with less than one term's worth of experience, most of which he's spent running for President, no other national level political experience, and no significant management or executive experience. On his face, he's simply unqualified to hold the office of the Presidency, and that's entirely apart from whatever his actual views/positions are.

It's not crazy to point out that there's plenty of racism among the criollo class throughout Latin America.

Michelle Obama---proof that affirmative action doesn't work!

I'm sick of this. Let's talk about puppies instead.

Verify these Cliff Claven words of wisdom if you dare try.

John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven) was on Mark Levin's radio show last week. He's a conservative. He said they NEVER discussed politics on the set because of that barking ignorant moonbat Ted Danson.

What would this asshole be saying if the Repubs were running a Hispanic candidate?

Specist!

re: #242 littleoldlady

Lieberman came out in support of John McCain the other day. Now the Dems want to take away his toys.

They already "took away his toys".

Isn't he an independent now?

Not voting for Barack Obama is racism.

Juan Williams, while on the Fox Panel during the news yesterday, said basically that ANY Criticism of Obama was being construed by the MSM to be racism. He said it with a sneer, and found it disgusting.

Juan is one of the very few liberals I like, due to his candor and his honesty.

re: #229 MandyManners

I don't think the DNC is stupid. Nor do I think that George Soros is stupid.

They certainly understand how to push their candidates to election MUCH better than the RNC. The fact that Repub presidents keep getting elected is a tribute to Americans. I sincerely, Americans see through Fog-bama come November.

Some want to know why it isn’t racist when 70 percent of African-Americans vote for Obama but it is when 70 percent of whites vote against him.

Yeah well, blacks voting against white Hillary is not only racist but sexist too!

My favorite SureFire light. The dual-setting thing is good, because for most applications (e.g. reading something or looking at an object close to you), you don't want a bizillion lumens - you'll just dazzle yourself.

re: #254 ggt

Thanks, so far I've found two that fit the bill. Deciding is the hard part. I have to find a dealer.

ggt, give eBay a try.

Go to "Sporting Goods", then, in the "search" box, type in, "SureFire".

You'll find over a 1000 different options, just make sure if you buy one, the seller has pretty near 100% positive feedback.

You could find some at half the price of elsewhere.

Navarrette is working over the "white guilt" complex that liberals so uniformly posses.

Obviously, the rule doesn't work after about 10-yrs-old.

But it sure do make a 5-yr-old feel better stop whining when bowling against a bunch of 8-9-yr-olds.
