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."

Yeah, Daetwon, we already knew that.

They act like Obama winning is just another freakin' entitlement.

RE: “If we had put O.J. in jail after the “Dream Team”/Ito fiasco, there would have been riots. Now, he’s going to prison and everyone just shrugs.”

But this was his third trial!!! The OJ nonsense is getting too old for people to worry about. Besides, he lost many black supporters after the murder == when he didn’t fawn all over them as they thought he would continue to do. No, he went back to his “white” life and friends and simply moved the party from Brentwood, CA to South Florida. Many of “them” believe OJ turned his back on them, after first encouraging them to flock to him.

The same thing would ultimately happen with Obama, of course. He has lived a “white” life, too, other than marrying the wife he’s got. If he were to win, blacks woul quickly see that he is NOT so much in their corner after all. If he doesn’t cater to their every whim, they will turn on him in a heartbeat.

The Howard Stern bit would be hilarious if it were not so pathetic. Yet it’s true — all the blacks care about is electing someone they think looks like them. I’ll bet there are some who don’t even realize Obama is half white!

Neighbor, is your only worth in the amount of melanin your skin holds? Is that Obama's only worth? Do you truly expect everything to be handed to the both of you because you don't need sunscreen?

Must the darkest man win the presidency? Or are we allowed to vote our hearts and minds?

Funny. Yeah. Like all of us on FR would suddenly love a man with ties to Marxism, terrorists, and radicals, as long as he was pink-hued with shiny golden curls.

I overheard a discussion of two colleagues talking about Obama the other morning. It was like they had tape players inside them, droning off TV ad talking points.

When I see one of these "It's racism" articles, I think about the racism of one ethnic group voting 90-plus % for a candidate, and how is that not judging someone by skin color, and how is that not about the herd mentality?

Detriot and Newark are not abandoned simply because of riots.

It’s black blight and white flite.

My hometown of Jackson Miss had very little rioting....lots of marches though ....yet probably 25 percent of the city proper is now like Detroit or Camden, another 50 percent is like Cleveland and the last 25% are holdouts

The white belt around the city though is very nice and affordable and more conservative than Utah.

All right "Daetwon". Bring every thing you have or can get your under privileged hands on.

Like many others I am very tired of the implied threats. Bring it, pal; I'm good to go.

Well we can look at Dad’s heirlooms if you wish. You may have one or all; after all, you are somewhat closer to ground zero.

I am in Mesquite(Creek Crossing neighborhood) where I teach 3rd grade. We had a discussion about the election a couple of weeks ago in class. My policy is that I do not tell my students who I am voting for, simply because I don’t want any baby mommas raising hell up in the office about me. My class is a couple of white kids, and the rest are 50-50 black and hispanic. Every black kid wants 0bama, and every hispanic kid wants McCain. Of course they are only repeating what their parents are saying but to me this seems promising.

Yes you're right. I have noticed that the last 10 years there has been a mind set that every white,Asian,and Latino
citizen must fear the angry black man. It may be me....maybe I'm a closet racist. I'm just saying that American society has been told to handle black issues with kid gloves.

I was in NYC this weekend and there were these painted trucks parked on the streets that said “Imagine loving your President...Vote Obama”.

Were the trucks registered to Larry Sinclair?
