Racism, naturally, plays a part in the conversation. "I've never forgotten that he is a smart, articulate black man with a smart, articulate black wife," says Linda Wright, 34, a nurse's assistant from Houston."You think white people were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land without a fight?" The overriding feeling is apprehension, a vague fear of losing something people thought was theirs to keep. "My kids love Obama and they think it's so obvious he should be the president," says actor D. L. Hughley. "I was just honest in saying life isn't always fair and certainly isn't always fair for African-Americans. But Obama has overcome so many obstacles, it's easy to forget reality."
There's not a lot of anger—yet—but you can start to sense the potential for it. "I'm going to be mad, real mad, if he doesn't win," says Daetwon Fisher, 21, a construction worker from Long Beach, Calif. "Because for him to come this far and lose will be just shady and a slap in black people's faces. I know there is already talk about protests and stuff if he loses, and I'm down for that."

Of course, All these quotations reek of racial entitlement. Much of the black population has been born and raised on it, courtesy of the leftwing 'rats. I hope they like what they have created.
I actually don’t think that there will be riots when Obama loses - the electoral college has conditioned people to realize that it’s a game about states and there are more red than blues. In reality, my concern about riots is if he wins and then has an unfortunate incident occur.
This is the thing which has most annoyed me about the media in this election. More than Obama, they have played not the race card, but the race deck.
The AP story yesterday saying Palin’s attack was racist was only permutation number 768 on how this election is a referendum on race.
The media is trying to create an environment of racial hatred in the nation and the collision is now inevitable. Even if McCain wins in a landslide— which I still think is a serious posiblity, it will be meet with complete racist denunciations by the Left.
“Smart” and “articulate” mean different things to different people.

Much like “yes” and “no” then, I guess.
In all seriousness, I think people go down that route to avoid taking responsibility as an individual. It’s not one’s self at fault, it’s whites, and a white individual can be easily absolved by volunteering for Obama and speaking out against whites.
It’s no coincidence the same white relative (and spouse) I have who also spouts anti-white venom is still living off mommy and mommy-in-law.
Very few kids these days graduate college having had any job at all. I wonder if that has an effect on the overwhelming youth desire for Obama.
Well I'm in the Pleasant Grove area which is about split Black and Hispanic, with just a few token white folk like myself. Does anyone know which way Mexicans are leaning? Any packing Freepers want to do guard duty down here? ;)
The MSM will stoke the fires to no end, encouraging anger and demonstrations which can spiral out of control. Ask Reginald Denny how he felt to have a brick upside the head. And from there, it will spread to the inner cities and the fire will get hotter.
Did anyone see those paramilitary type boys marching and singing for Obama the other day (shown on YouTube), and how to a person they truly believe, with such high, youthful hopes, that a) he will win; and b) his election holds their entire future.
Think how this segment of America, steeped in victim's consciousness and a lot of time on one's hands, can have the makings for rather severe radicalization if he LOSES.
Make friends with a local South Korean grocer (many with compulsory ROK Army experience) as quickly as you can, guys.
I’ve thought of that. Good point.
Good one. :)
White people avoid Black sections of large urban areas in any case. It is not safe there. Obama’s South Side of Chicago has outstripped Baghdad's casualty figures for about six months now. (Funny how no reporter ever asks him about this) Two or three killed and many more wounded every day. How will we know when they are rioting? They are rioting every day.
We have a house full of guns. (gun collectors and hunters)
Bring it on.
I’m in Kingsport. Glad to “meet “ you. :)
Heck we ought to start forming militias. We should do so riots or not.
Yep, we need to be ready in case the balloon goes up.
I think Obama is of the generation that doesn’t see experience as important—feeeeeeeelings, and “having your heart in the right place” trump competence.
Listen Newspeak or Newsweak or whatever one should call you today:
Whites in the GOP and among the Dims have been ready, for some time, to live up to Martin’s vision of an America that judges a man by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.
But, during the Democrats primaries, even though the “white” vote was split pretty evenly between Hillary and Obama, the black vote was overwhelmingly for Obama. In fact, if the black vote had been as racially neutral as the white vote, Obama would have lost and Hillary would have won.
So, in as much as blacks vote Democrat over Republican about 7 to 1, and given how black Democrats voted in the primaries, where is the racism???
Now, in fairness to black Democrats I am sympathetic to their political plight, because the voting pattern they demonstrated in the primaries is exactly the voting pattern they have been educated by white liberals to hold onto, in order to keep them Democrats - vote for racial solidarity, not for the person.
From that segment its all about racial entitlement, always has been pure and simple.
Except now if/when they rise up and strike against ‘whitey’, they will also strike the business and properties of multi-cultural America. And the cities will hopefully be not caught off guard like they were in the RK riots.
Wake me up on 5 November. Let's have the problem first. Then we'll deal with it.
