I’m just ashamed of the Blacks in America, not my country. When that number of people will just carte blanche vote for an evil man because he is the same skin color as them, that speaks volumes to ME.

I shouldn't think this way, but it seems like race does matter as you pointed out. I cannot condemn anyone on the other side voting for McCain because he's White. I know my father, he's still a George Wallace supporter, I think he voted for McCain. I know in the 1968 election, E.G. Marshall, said basically that we all have the right to vote our prejudices, right or wrong. I'm glad there are Blacks here on FR who do "get it" and I'm not trying to paint them with the wide brush we are using here, but wen I go out in the hinterlands and see things happening, I'm afraid the stereotypes and prejudices do have a lot of truth behind them. It's doesn't affect the Blacks only but the young as well. I'm having bad thoughts, I'm trying to suppress tem but seeing the gimmee crowd as well as the idea of making history as the first Black President over substance and the war or terror makes me ill. I'm praying for God to comfort me, right now, even that is a tall order, I don't doubt His powers but I'm so jaded and cynical now. I think if this has an effect on level headed me, I'm afraid this will set race relations back decades because the backlash will blind people. We need the backlash but we must keep our focus on the target, Barak the Communist, not the race, but some will not be that way. I am sad that I am writing this but I have to be honest. I can't ignore what I see.

Me too. How many trillions of welfare dollars down the rat hole, and they just voted to take more, do less, and who knows what else. And they have also told us how much they hate whites.

Liberals and Marxists have always irked me.

After 9/11/01, Muslims moved higher on my radar.

After 11/4/08, another group has joined them.

We are truly in a war of ideals.

There aren’t enough Blacks in the U.S. to elect Obama or anyone else President. If Obama wins it will take the vote of a lot of whites and other races to do it. Blacks are only about 14% of the population.

Gotta disagree it is the white left wingers and knee jerk democrats who are the real culprits

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups....

Agree. This election did not 'advance' race relations - to the contrary - I think it reversed race relations back almost half a century. NOTE, I don't mean "rights", I mean "race relations"!

I am not prejudiced in ANY way, and want all to have equal rights. I don't paint anyone or any group with a 'broad brush', but black people brought - and enthusiastically PAINTED onto themselves with a BROAD BRUSH a pure and unabashed RACIAL vote component to this election that was utterly disgusting and appalling.
