Whites would be wise to not vote for Obama. He presented himself as the post-racial candidate, but has proven to be anything but. He is obsessed with race (he brings it up more then anyone), and the teachings of the church he attended for twenty plus years are alone reason enough to not vote for him.

Obama has the white guilt vote wrapped up, but it’s good to know that some white Dems. are able to extract themselves from that group psychosis and consider other factors.

And racial views are steering some blacks toward Obama. But that's not racist.

Snort.

FWIW, the guy's a freaking socialist. I could give a rat's hairy hind end about his skin color. Or gender for that matter.

Years of experience and having drank the koolaid only to find out in connecting the dots it was koolaid going way back with the same people. It has been an eye opener. Rove the architect almost cost two Presidential elections that should not have been close.

The more I researched after the 2006 election, the more things made sense. Rove royally undermined McCain with innuendoes that were taken as the truth.

Why do people give any credence to this drivel. Repeat after me, MSM, “Those who oppose Barak Obama do so because they reject his failed ideas and pitiful performance at every previous position.” The real racists in this campaign are those who put up the unqualified Obama. If he were a white male, would you even consider him? I don’t think so. Racism works both ways,you MSM fools.

Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

It's a "racial misgiving" to say that blacks, like all other grownups, are "responsible for their own troubles"?

I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, because I have no clue; but I wonder if there is any evidence you can point me to that ties Rove to the ‘black child’ innuendo.

I have known this all my life. My very liberal parents are very racist.

Same with my parents.

Obama’s OWN racist views should cost him the election.

RON FOURNIER, another MSM liberal hack who hates Reps. He tried to ambush Romney. Now he is trying to shame white democrats into voting for Obama by laying a guilt trip on them and calling them racists.

My wife is French Caribbean of very mixed blood lines (Italian, French, German, African). Our children are range Vin Diesel, Mariah Carey types.

I can tell you without hesitation that the more liberal a person is the more likely he is to comment on our 'mixed' family. The more conservative, the less likely. In fact no conservative has ever made any comment at all while virtually every liberal has felt the need to say something.

This article says some things about how whites see blacks that, I think, is very accurate.

In most cases, negative feelings towards blacks has little to do with skin color and a lot MORE to do with attitude and behavior.

One of the things that turns me off with blacks is the way they cop this “Ghetto Attitude” when around whites. This is done to intimidate whites, and it does. And they know it does. This kind of behavior can be turned on and off at will and I have personally seen this.

Suppose you’re a white guy who uses a fair amount of locker room language. But you also have the need to associate with others on a frequent basis, say, for business, where this kind of language would be considered totally unacceptable. You have the ability to turn it off.

Suppose you get into a heated argument with someone you’re attemtpting to do business with. At some point you will likely revert back to your regular speech patterns and the explitives are likely to fly. It’s a matter of losing a little bit of control.

Before Obama started taking hits to the chin from Palin, you saw the “good behavior” side of the guy. Now that he’s been injured, we’re beginning to see the real man and its turning off those even in his own party. His call this week to have his minions get into the faces of their neighbors and “aggressively argue” on his behalf, is nothing more than an intimidation ploy of a desparate, inner-city agitator, using naive youngsters to do his dirty work.

I have no doubt this will work to some extent with the younger crowd because they tend to be gullible. They don’t know the details of the man but are buying into the emotion. But with older folks who ARE studying the details, we are being given just one more reason to say NO to this political hack.

Look at Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson’s son, and Callipso Louie. They all use an intimidation approach designed to fan the flames of their base and intimidate eveyone else. What they don’t understand is that they are actually doing the greatest amount of harm to themselves.

I can’t believe how amazingly STUPID Obama is! And, of course, when he gets his ass handed to him on a platter in November he will blame all of it on racism, as will the MSM who are already making these claims. What a load of Freakin’ CRAP!

Would Collin Powell have attempted such insulting tactics?

Apparently, you can take the inner-city agitator out of the Ghetto but you can’t take the Ghetto out of the inner-city agitator.

Does all of the above make me a racist? Fine. Sue me.

Watch for articles in the coming days regarding whether ballots really are “secret”. They will try to scare dems, especially union members, into thinking their union will know how they voted.

But there was that Rassmussen poll that said 9% of Dems would never vote for a black man. That had nothing to do with 0bama’s radical views, they just don’t like blacks.

It is now racist to believe one of the most basic tenets of human existence, and that which helps separate us from the lower animals: that we acknowledge and accept responsibility for our own actions!

I know a couple of through-and-through die-hard democrats. If you get them off to the side in private and coax them into being totally honest, they'll tell you that they dislike Obama because he's black. Or, if they don't say this outright, they'll express concerns that other democrats they know don't like him because he's black. What an idiotic, hateful bunch of people. The party of multiculturalism and diversity is filled with stupid racists.

Now granted, a racist post against B.O. would be removed from FR pretty fast, but even so, I can't recall any of my ultraconservative circle saying nary a peep against the guy because he's black! A couple of my black friends have expressed disappointment in him for "playing" the black constituency and being a racist himself, but that's something they observe from black culture...something I'm not usually privy to.

We dislike B.O. because he's a dangerous communist. He could be purple and green for all we care.

While we're on this subject.... I have a theory. Have you noticed how they can't seem to get a good photo of Michelle Obama lately? I think B.O.'s home life is going to degrade significantly after the coming election. I hope he has a nice warm, and spacious doghouse to sleep in. :-) ...because something tells me that Michelle is going to be one frigid and angry woman.

*** Please explain to me why this tripe, originally posted here under an Associated Pukes link, is sitting at the top of Breaking News ?? ***

Maybe this 'dupe' article was posted because a few weeks back JimRob declared that AP articles were not to be posted and would be pulled. That policy/stance seems to have been eased since I do see AP articles popping up again.

As to it being 'tripe'? That's something else again. This is confirming the Bradley-Wilder effect, i.e.: That white liberal dems are racists. All their *tolerance* disappears behind the voting curtain.
