I could be wrong but I doubt this is good news for Senator Osama...

[Crimson Elephant]

How is it even possible Obama could be ahead in ANY poll if those numbers are accurate?

[Polybius]

The poll found that blacks and whites hold vastly different views of Sen. Barack Obama

I wonder why.

[Polybius]

The nationwide telephone poll of 1796 adults showed that 39 per cent of blacks said there had been no real progress in recent years in getting rid of racial discrimination.

I agree.

The racism in Obama's church, except for the color, was straight out of a 1930's Ku Klux Klan rally.

while half of blacks said not enough had been made of racial barriers faced by black people.

How would it be possible to make more of the barriers faced by black people?  White people are endlessly told that they are singularly responsible for any and all failures of blacks, and that modern whites are personally responsible for the slavery of  hundreds of years ago.  Decades of 'affirmative action' policies and programs have destroyed the careers and dreams of millions of  qualified white people while pushing unqualified blacks into positions in academia and everywhere else in the job markets that they never would have achieved on the basis of their own merits.  Schoolchildren are indoctrinated into a rigid pathology of white guilt beginning at Kindergarten, and uttering certain words can destroy your career and possibly cause you legal trouble if you're white, but are entirely acceptable to say if you are black.

How much further do white people need to bend over in an effort to accommodate and pay homage?  What more can possibly be done?

The poll found that blacks and whites hold vastly different views of Sen. Barack Obama... 83 per cent of blacks had a favorable opinion of Mr Obama, compared with 31 per cent of white voters... On the status of race relations, 59 per cent of black respondents they were generally bad, compared with 34 per cent of whites who thought the same way. The nationwide telephone poll of 1796 adults showed that 39 per cent of blacks said there had been no real progress in recent years in getting rid of racial discrimination... Only 17 per cent of whites said the same thing. Twenty-seven percent of whites said too much had been made of problems facing black people, while half of blacks said not enough had been made of racial barriers faced by black people.

the Buried Lead for today? 17 per cent of black voters didn't have a favorable opinion of Obama, and 69 per cent of white voters also didn't have a favorable opinion of Obama.

"The poll found that blacks and whites hold vastly different views of Sen. Barack Obama, ........... and are also divided on the state of race relations in the US, the newspaper reported."

Boy! Who could have guessed..

The vast majority of blacks will readily admit they'll vote for Obama because he's black! THAT is RACISM..

Many whites will refuse to vote for him, due to his lack of experience, undemonstrated competence, suspicions about his racist and terrorist mentors, friends and supporters.
That is NOT racism - that is rational thinking.

Twenty-seven percent of whites said too much had been made of problems facing black people, while half of blacks said not enough had been made of racial barriers faced by black people.

How about this one: Let's see what percentage of Armenians (just for example) think that Armenian problems are getting enough of the world's attention. Then let's poll the rest of the world as to whether the problems of Armenians are getting enough attention. Without any insight into the problems of Armenians, what do think the results would be?

[xuberalles]

Hmm, well I wonder why!

[babygene]

As much as I dislike McCain, Osama isn’t an option...

[stockstrader]

If you want to further divide this country along racial, social and economic lines,,,

an arrogant, condescending elitist like B. (whose middle name must never be spoken) Obama,

his racist ex-pastor, close friend, mentor and spiritual advisor Rev. Wright,

and his arrogant, elitist, cocky, anti-American wife,,,

ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME!!!

[doodad]

He can’t reconcile his own biracial nature within his heart and soul and expects us to do so? Funny.

[montag813]

I don’t know a single white democrat who is voting for Obama. They all say he is a Muslim.

“... 39 per cent of blacks said there had been no real progress in recent years in getting rid of racial discrimination.”

This whining why Blacks have lost the race to be the number one minority, to Hispanics. The good news is that at some point Blacks will come to understand the reality of their position and start to turn themselves around.
I defy anyone to point to any genuine provable systematic racism in our public life. If Blacks whine for reparations they will fall still further behind. BTW America has already made reparations: From April 1861 to April 1865 the Union Army lost 77 dead a day everyday from combat actions.

[IamConservative]

..and if Obama loses, we can look forward to at least 3 months of scolding from the media on how racist we all are.

JF’inK lost because he was “swift boated”, a.k.a. as “truth was revealed.”

Obammy will lose because America is racist.

It all makes we want to retreat to and live in a heavily fortified cave.

This is English?

Yep, the Democraps are going to regret kicking Hillary aside.
