Thread: Why are white Republicans so afraid of a black president?

Exhibit A:

YouTube - President Obama?Oprah?Black Panthers?

Exhibit B:

YouTube - Barack Obama IS Osama Bin Laden ???

What the fuck is wrong with you people? I think you are worried that if we elected a black president, suddenly, African Americans will become "uppity" and tell you what they really think of you. Or reverse Jim Crow law will be enacted. Or Sharia Law.

Whatever it is, you need to quit being so stupid and paranoid. He's not a Black Panther, he's not a Muslim, let alone Osama Bin Laden.

Please grow up.

I'm much more afraid of a Democratic president than a black one.

It doesn't bother you that tapping into ignorant people's fear of darker races is just a slimeball tactic? Do you really want this guy to lose because of racism and fear mongering?

I think that's right up there with McCain's non-existant affair.

OMG yes, the return of a viable middle class and the move toward being a first world country again, scares me too. The wealthy will have to do with a little less wealth, think they'll notice? Yeah, they will.

What pray tell is wrong with the Middle Class today?

I'm middle class by any stretch of the imagination (family income of around $50,000 a year) and I'm doing pretty well.

No its much, much worse than that. Fear of race has been around since the beginning of mankind.

What is sad is that a country that has the balls to call itself a democracy and open to everyone regardless of race, religion, etc. is unwilling to deal with the issues that keep us from actually being that open society.

Well good for you (and I mean that). Might I ask where you are from Dayton that you are doing pretty well on that income?

So far the only person I've seen that acts like she'd fear a black POTUS is Hillary. :laughing:

There are people of all political stripes, all economic stripes, all races, that do fear a black president, it isn't just repubs. There are also black people that have said they will vote for a black man purely because he is black, same as some women that will vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman.
I have a revelation, there are scumbags in all walks of life, but thankfully, there are more that aren't.

How is throwing money at a situation and making the government your mommy going to bring back the middle class?
