Millions of white voters who voted for Obama in 2008 are not voting for him in 2012.

The question is, did they all become racist over the past four years or did they just notice that Obama is black?

On the other hand, racism will win Obama votes.

Not only is the race card a number one tool for obama and co-conspirators (which includes the MSM), but it’s their fall back plan if he loses Nov 6th.

If he loses, there could be hard core action such as riots, vandalism, murder and maybe even taking over local government buildings by the hard core left and Blacks that have become the left’s useful idiots - absolute anarchy in large cities.

I have a feeling he will do whatever it takes to damage this country for he has no conscience and he knows he will never be held accountable for anything (including Benghazi) because he is Black. And some how or another the MSM and regime will spin it as the white guys fault.

That's worth repeating, my feeling exactly. We have just had enough, after so long a time over and over with the racist card, they have got on our LAST NERVE.

Their only weapon is FEAR, we/I will no longer listen to them. I will not tolerate one of my tenants attempting to pull some racist card and try to scare me. Ain't happening.

Those who live by the sword of racism shall die by that sword. If an administration makes race-based decisions, instead of race-neutral decisions, then the rest of the country will respond accordingly.

“95 percent of racial prejudice is really cultural prejudice”

I wouldn’t know about the exact percentage, but you are right. Judging on the basis of racial characteristics is supposed to be wrong purely and simply, and I suppose it is to a certain degree. But our PC cops pretend as if racism is all biological essentialism, and since that is scientifically incorrect racism must be incotrect. They harp a lot about the miniscule genetic difference between the races, or the outright biological nonexistence of certain racial classifications. It was never all about genes. Psuedo-scientific racism exploded in the 19th century, culminating in the evil of eugenics. But racism long, long, long predates scientific justification.

Whether you’re saying black people’s brains are smaller or Kenyans are more likely to be good marathoners you’re being racist. Goodie-goodies like to pretend it’s all irrational like the former, and deny the very obvious usefulness of generalizing on the basis of appearance. Because appearance connotes certain things, among them that certain groups are by and large better or worse at certain activities than others. I trust I don’t need to post many examples. We all know what I’m talking about, though we’re no longer supposed to admit it.

Not that I blame them altogether. There are real dangers to overgeneralization, and mankind needs no incentives, certainly, to reason falsely from appearance. But as an author I read once put it, they pretend as if admitting there’s any rational basis to racism is a step away from loading the ovens. Which is crazy.

“Racism Could Cost Obama Votes.”

So African-Americans are not going to vote for Barry because he’s half white?

Ironically, racism guarantees him more then 95% of the black vote.

Even if this fantasy were true, it would at least balance the racism that got him the presidency.

These accusations have lost all impact on most people.
The guilt bank is now empty and closed for business.

Since when did a—holes become a race?

I used that on someone who recently played the card on me. A horrified deer-in-headlights reaction.

Ann Coulter makes this case brilliantly in "Mugged."

Obama could lose 5 percentage points off his share of the popular vote in his Nov. 6 contest against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But Obama also stands to benefit from a 3 percentage point gain due to pro-Black sentiment,

Seriously, does this influence anyone but a hard core liberal. It's "racist" if it costs Obama votes but "pro-Black" if he gains votes. I really hate these idiots.
