Randall Kennedy, a Harvard University law professor, an African American and an Obama supporter (many will see that as redundant) has a really honest piece in the Washington Post in which he ruminates about his potential response should the Democratic presidential nominee loses.
If Obama loses, I personally will feel disappointed, frustrated, hurt. I'll conclude that a fabulous opportunity has been lost. I'll believe that American voters have made a huge mistake. And I'll think that an important ingredient of their error is racial prejudice -- not the hateful, snarling, open bigotry that terrorized my parents in their youth, but rather a vague, sophisticated, low-key prejudice that is chameleonlike in its ability to adapt to new surroundings and to hide even from those firmly in its grip.

This idea that the Democrats and a black man are owed the presidency is highly insulting. Especially considering that Obama is an awful candidate who insults the voters as bitter and most always sounds angry when giving a speech.
When Obama loses I am going to be angry. I am going to be angry that blacks are angry and calling me a racist. And I won't forget it either.
Not only that, but I don’t think 0bama really has rhythm. He looks too awkward like he can’t get all his parts jivin’ in synchronicity, you know what I be sayin’?
OK! Whatever it takes!

If this dope wants to be a racist, then shouldn’t McCain get 99% of the white vote just as Obama will get 99% of the black vote? Whites, however, don’t behave that way.
I have stated from the start, all obama has going for him is race and his mastery at manipulating the weak-minded to support him on this basis. He has no other option.
I don’t feel like I owe Obama my vote because he’s black.
I don’t think this country owes it to african americans to
elect one of their own as president. They are not slaves , well , except for Whoopi Goldberg. I don’t own any slaves nor does any other American. End of story.
However .. I would vote for a conservative , qualified
black canidate.

Wouldn't such racism make it a blowout?
yes, and blame democrat whitey, republicans have McCain - Palin to vote for....

The truth is that rather than bridge and heal the racial divide, Obama and his supports in particular, have made the racial divide worse, far worse.
And Harvard has led the way into that inrellectual toilet.

I had a conversation today with a left winger at work who said blacks will riot if Obamachev loses. He expected me to be scared.
Fine with me I said, won’t be the first time. If rioters come to my neighborhood and threaten our homes, we’ll shoot em down like dogs.
He hadn’t thought of that.
I’ll stand up and admit that I’m full of rascal predjudice.
I simply do not like that rascal 0bama, for purely rascal reasons.
Yep, this “typical white woman” will never vote for Obambie!
Nope, I’m not partial to Marxists!

I didn't vote for that guy that had VN seared into his brain because he was a liberal.
And I sure ain't goin’ta vote for Obama because he is more liberal than the first two.
Besides I already voted for a black guy this year for President. I voted for Keyes in the Primary.
No room in there for the fact that a marxist radical is unacceptable? Never occurred to you, did it?
Has to be racism...............
