If Sen. Obama loses, "African-Americans could be disappointed to the point of not engaging in the process anymore,"

Good.

or consider forming a third political party, said Richard McIntire, communications director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Even better.

"From day one, we've been told to be a certain way, to be neat, intellectual, speak clearly. He is the symbol of what we were told to be by our parents and by society as a whole. If this doesn't work, what does that do to our psyche? What do I tell my sons?"

Tell them that besides being neat and intellectual, and speaking clearly, don't be a Marxist.

Do blacks really want to ruin the future possibility with
all the gains that have been made?

Any backlash will only do harm them and for our country. They should stand up and take the high road until they have someone that will really work for them and not be just a communist “tool”.

Blacks are at a point here that if they were smart they would realize
it is only a matter of time that a black person could be president.
JUST NOT THIS ONE.

Where’s Jesse? Does he want blacks to riot? Most likely.

Boy am I ever with you on that. Before the dem convention my husband and I went over the ammo inventory in our house and made sure that the keys to the gun box are where we left them. Six clips are ready to go when I need them. And should I ever have to defend my home with lethal force, I will not lose a minutes sleep over it.

Bob Parks (whom I adore) Alan Keyes also.
So where’s the race bias there?

If blacks support Obama by 90%, why would they be surprised if whites support McCain by 90%? Why is it “racist” for whites to vote for McCain if it’s not racist for blacks to vote for Obama? I don’t get it.

The Scottish were feeling the same stress when McCain was down in the polls but their mood has lifted with McCain's numbers as of late.

Not true. The many Democrats wont vote for him because he is black.

Hey people, next time run a guy who is not an anti-American socialist closet Muslim. Then you might have a better chance.

The first black President, like the first woman President, will probably be a Republican. Not because of their race, or sex, but because their views will more accurately reflect the views of the country.

Has anyone else noticed that the Obama campaign is telling Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson to stay under their rocks until after election day so they don’t frighten whitey into voting for McCain? Guaranteed if Obama would have won this election they would both be beside him on election night.

“...to the point of not engaging in the process anymore,”...

I just hope they are so disappointed they won’t take anymore welfare dollars with pictures of white men.

While I certainly hope there will be only limited rioting I would say to anyone that doesn’t own a gun and lives anywhere near a rough part of town - get one now and learn how to use it responsibly.

Stay safe and take care of your family.

Mel

Stay home on election night

On the other hand, if B.O. wins, and the first African-American president turns out to be a complete dud - who launches us into a depression as well as international humiliation, then what? If all his gassy promises turn out to be empty - if he brings us a Second Carter Administration, but this time on steroids, then what?

If there are going to be riots, so be it. Let’s get them over with.

"Once Sarah Palin was picked and African-Americans saw the Republicans ignited again, they got worried. We are scared now."

I believe this is the whole Democrat mindset. They are so fragile and believe in nothing but themselves, when any adversity hits they lose heart. Look at the WOT and Iraq, it applies to elections too. They get excited 6 months before the fight even starts and as soon as it looks tough they fold.

Case in point is Biden's remark that Hillary would have been a better pick than he was. What a defeated comment.

Some people said they would be so angry it would be reminiscent of the [1960s] riots

Orders to shoot. No excuse for this simple minded crap.
