“Optimistic about WHAT?! They have a horrible job market, high unemployment, high incarceration rates, their own people might kill them,”

Because when you’re at rock bottom, there’s no other way but to look up. Besides...we’re racists, remember?

” See ??? Obama is like a security blanket to them

He tells them that they are better off, they believe it.

He tells them that he has their back, they believe it.

He tells them that this is now a better country than it was in 2008, they believe it.”

Are you talking about blacks, or the GOP ?

LOL

...umm...

...well considering “whitey” is who’s making all of the jobs, and “whitey” is who’s paying into the entitlement system they all know and love, one would think that “whitey” would be lauded for his/her strength and work ethic.

But I’m just being simple-minded thinking that way, aren’t I?

Whites more realistic than blacks, hispanics.

The poll results may have less to do with the economy and more to do shifting demographics and perceived shifting power. As minorities see whites’ percentage of the population dwindling they are optimistic that power will shift to the growing percentage of people of color. Whites are pessimistic for the same reason.

They don't care much about content of character, for obvious reasons.

It could to an extent be differing perceptions about the same realities - whites are more likely to view an increasing reliance on government handouts and freebies as bad and unsustainable, whereas blacks and Hispanics see it as something free and sustainable. Whites are more likely to fear creeping totalitarianism and a vast expansion of government, blacks and Hispanics to support it.

I think your reasoning is correct; which makes the GOP idea that they can win the majority of Hispanic voters foolhardy.

If all this were happening under Republican present _residents, we would have had three present _residents since 2008.

Pittsburgh PA city schools have a scholarship program for resident students. $10,000 a year for four years to a state school for students who have been city residents since kindergarten. (Rate goes down to $7,500 if a student is a late starter.) It's called the Pittsburgh Promise and covers students with a 2.5 grade point average and 90 percent attendance. For both whites and blacks.

No wonder they feel optimistic. If you live a few miles away outside of the Pittsburgh city jurisdiction, no scholarship.

“I’m sorry I just don’t believe that blacks and Hispanics are so ignorant that they’re resting the entirety of their faith in Obama. I really can’t believe that.”

2012 proved it; their fortunes plummeted after 2008, and they voted for him again anyway. I would be alarmed by this headline if blacks and Hispanics were smarter than whites...

Blacks are.

Hispanics think Obama and the leftists in this country are useful, they have no more affection for them than for a la cockarocha.

“Perception is more important than reality for some people.”

Our fake president is all perception; he is nothing.

“How can the national debt not matter?”

When I was younger this was an abstract concept; I thought Obama would lose in 2012 because the inflation linked to the national debt came quickly (everybody could see it right away in groceries and gasoline). The media somehow convinced people it wasn’t important, so it apparently played no role in the election.

“How can cultural decline not matter?”

This was settled 20 years ago, when a known womanizer was elected president.

“If these people are happy, it’s because they’re ignorant of what is to come.”

That’s right; they also have no idea how much of the future has these two groups pitted against each other.

“However, “Tokens” and “Spokespersons” of the proper ethnicity will be provided. White progressives are actively assisting the conquest stupidly believing they will be favorably treated when the conquest is consolidated.”

White libs are willing participants in this; they know blacks & Hispanics will need people to do the actual work, and they intend to rule them as commissars. In fact, they already do; the sight of so many dark people lining up to vote for wealthy white libs is so absurd, and the sight of the inspiration Obama buckling on gay marriage to his white masters really drove home the point.

They are hopeless people, with their palms outstretched to whites whether it be in South Africa, Detroit, LA, or Juarez...

I can and do. We're talking about people that by and large have little understanding of reality, or even worse, actually believe left wing nonsense, white skin privilege, think it's racism when people just normally prefer people like themselves, etc.

I guess it’s the “white guilt” pounded into me throughout my public schooling. I was bused to a predominantly black high school, had very few black friends, and survived rioting blacks. I’ve also been the victim of two violent assaults at the hands of blacks. You’d think I’d learn.
