Now I must admit that I mainly voted for Obama because he is black, like me.

We knew that. Obama won with the racist vote

I’m starting to wonder at 48yo if I will ever see another black be trusted enough to ever be elected to the executive branch again?

I read some very serious commentary in 1980 or so, maybe in The New Republic, that Carter's disastrous presidency guaranteed that we wouldn't see another governor from a southern state as President for a VERY long time. *cough*

I wish Chris the best in his pursuit of an advanced degree, but what things exactly did he expect to “change”? Black men are still murdering black men and the worst of black racism has been validated, not transcended, by such luminaries as Jeremiah Wright. Is tokenism only patronizing when white people engage in it? Or is it patronizing when anyone does?

Mr. Scott, you’re still deluded. He isn’t black like you. He shares nothing of your life experience.

At most, he can be described as not exactly white, but with a white mother. raised by white grandparents, educated in the lap of privilege.

How much do you have in common with such a person? Not as much as I do. Which is to say, very little.

Congratulations upon inching a little further out of the illusion, though.

CHRIS SCOTT: The realization recently hit: I voted for Barack Obama because of his skin color.

Chris could have just as easily said: "I am a racist".

“Another case where someone decided to take the red pill instead of the blue pill.”

Or cut the red wire instead of the Blue.

Obama is a Communist, a narcissist, a baby-killer, an ignoramus, a thug, a liar, an economic illiterate, a lover of tyrants and tyranny, a hater of America, and almost certainly not a citizen.

The fact that Americans elected a black man is the ONLY good thing about his election.

My one hope with Obama was that he might do something to shift black culture away from crime and illegitimacy, by inspiration. I don’t think he’s said a single word in that direction since he was elected.

Obama's interests don't lie in that direction, and never have. His interest is in maintaining grievance whatever the cost, in order to further his precious "change," a code word recognized the world over.

Sounds like another “minister” to the oppressed.

I would have voted for a decent black man. Herman Cain for instance.

A Stanford University study last year found that 40 percent of white Americans polled held at least partly negative views about us.

Now I must admit that I mainly voted for Obama because he is black, like me.


You mean "negative views" like racism?prejudice?

Re: But those hopes are now realistic — and largely because of this historic election. It officially has placed America on a path to fulfill and protect the boldest assertion of our founding principles, “That all men are created equal.”

Too bad Obama... Photobucket does not seem to believe “That all men (nor women) are created equal.” He proves this by nominating Sonia Sotomayor!

This is stupid. It's an example of how "affirmative action" hurts the very groups it is intended to help. Obama is a terrible President. As this becomes evident to more and more people, some, who voted for him as an "affirmative action" choice, will associate his competence with his race.

It's well known that most people (including most blacks) are reluctant to go to a black doctor, because of the fear that they may have become a doctor through "affirmative action". If you need real, serious, medical care, you want a real doctor. Of course, this hurts all of the black doctors whose achievements were completely legitimate.

Almost all Dems I know are happy with Obama because “Finally, I feel good about the President” How can one break through to these fools? They're all saying “Yes Mr. President take my money,I trust you” Sheesh!

To get that, it would have been better to vote for Bill Cosby.

Cris, you are a racist - admit it. And worse than that, you think all whites are racists too, and we’re not. We judged Obama by his deeds, not his empty promises of change..... you judged him by his skin color. How sad.

Neo took the red pill leading to truth and reality. The blue pill leads to the matrix fantasy land.

(Republican = red. Democrat = blue.)
