On Fox News this am, author and media critic Bernie Goldberg declared -- as have I for months -- that the media elite, who have NO understanding of the REAL America out there in "flyover country" have predicted that if Obama loses, the ONLY reason will be racism by whites. Inexperience, character, political philosophy, etc. have NOTHING to do with this election: If Obama loses, it will be because white America is STILL RACIST.
He went on to say, as some of us have been saying, that if the black community feels that they have been ROBBED of the first black president due only to his race, "This will not be a good thing."
Bernie did not predict a new, higher level of racial unrest within the black community but as much as said so by declaring that "The elite media is PLAYING WITH FIRE."
When Obama loses -- not IF -- I'd advise Americans -- especially white Americans -- to be alert to the possibility of some very serious problems here and stay close to home until things settle down.
“That streak will end this year because there isn’t anyone out there who is more liberal than Barack. “
That streak will end this year because there isn’t anyone out there who is more articulate, and intellectual, and clean, than Barack.
bttt
Republicans and Conservatives will vote for McCain/Palin.
Blacks will vote for Obomber/Bidet.
So that leaves only rats and liberals who won’t vote for Obomber/Bidet because...?
Who is the racist?
Another point Bernie made was that when Liberals see Willie Horton they see a black man. When conservatives see Wille Horton they see a criminal.
Honestly, it goes back a lot farther than Orwell in the most basic sense...
Isaiah 5:20-21
20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

If that scripture doesn’t sum up the left, and the MSM I don’t know what does! Of course, they are “wise in their own eyes” and chase after their own agenda prefering to ignore the wisdom of ages. I don’t expect them to EVER get it - especially when they denigrate all religion so (while pretending all the while to believe - like Obama)... Well, at least they won’t “get it” while they are alive at any rate - and well, after that I’m afraid it’ll be too late for them. Sad, really...
You make a good point. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans. If Obama loses it means many Democrats refused to vote for him. So using MSM logic that means Democrats are racist. I am so tired of hearing if he loses it’s because he’s black. At some point blacks have to move on and recognize not everything is about color.
“we will have racebaiters demanding quota programs.”
We’ve had quota programs for 35 years. We’re now supposed to vote for Obama, to fill our quota of “black” Presidents.
Comfortable room temperature is about 68 degrees so I would say you over inflating their IQ by a good 20+ points!
Does anyone else here see the threat of violence in regards to the outcome of an election as akin to (Domestic) TERRORISM? At least as it is defined by the government - threats of violence in order to influence political or social policy? The left has more in common with their Islamic terrorist brethren than they would care to admit.
To be honest if Obama were white Hillary Clinton would be Democrat’s candidate for president and Obama would never have made it out of the primaries. It was racial pandering by the media that caused them to look the other way at who Obama really is...an empty suit.
The msm wants us to be so afraid that black people will riot that we’ll vote for O-bully.
They seem to ignore the fact that a goodly number of white people own firearms and will not be intimidated by racists.
“There is no such thing as WHITE America. We are either just one FREE AMERICA, or we will end up nothing”
Stop being naive.
Of course there is “a white America”. But - whites are the ONLY racial group in America, that don’t seem to understand that.
Blacks certainly believe that there is a “black America”. Did you happen to catch the latest presidential poll out of North Carolina? 98% of blacks polled (yes, you have read that correctly) say they will vote for Mr. Obama in November. I’m sure that even includes blacks in North Carolina who are registered Republicans. I got those numbers from an article posted right here on FR.
Hispanics certainly believe that there is a “Hispanic America”. Do you know what “La Raza” means, and what their motto is? Nothing more need be said.
I will speculate that Asian-Americans visualize themselves as an ethnic group with certain interests, but because of their group intellect, socialization, and ethnic heritage, more resemble Euro-Americans than either the blacks or Hispanics. As such, they don’t bear any “ethno-resentment” against whites, work and blend in with them, and probably regard blacks and Hispanics pretty much the same as whites do.
The race factor definitely IS one of the most critical election factors this year. I daresay that if McCain wins, and if his victory is shown to be based upon a large contingent of white, democratic voters voting against Obama because of his race, it probably will have been the deciding factor.
I accept that. I realize it may be less than logical to do so, but then, racial identification itself (as a human behavior trait) is based less on the intellect than it is on the emotions. Its a gut level reaction that bonds - and divides - humans on the most base level. I accept that, too, as one of the realities of life.
As noble as we _think_ ourselves to be, we cannot deny such things.
It is the attempt to deny them, that forms the fallacy of liberalism.
Lets be more honest about it, OK?

To some degree I think that you both are correct.
The left ran the farthest left guy they could get, made him a person of color, and present him as a post-racial, etc.
Then by attempting to use racism as a bludgeon, try to get this outright Marxist elected.
This is about “the cause”, and winning at all costs.
[If Obama loses, it will be because white America is STILL RACIST.]
But the racism comes from WHITE DEMS. White (and black) Repoblicans will most likely, vote for McC anyway. We know that racist blacks (99% of them) will vote for the racist, Obama. That leaves WHITE DEMS as the true racists, as has been evident all along.
And if some idiot is standing in my front yard -- or in the street -- peppering my home with slugs or holding a Molotov Cocktail, there WILL BE BLOOD and it won't be mine!
If you wait until they're IN THE HOUSE, you've waited too long!
BTW, in case you DO NOT get that weapon, post this sign on your door. It makes it easier for the criminals to prioritize their targets.
OK, St. Louis and Detroit are Black America, but most of the rest of it is FREE AMERICA.
I should have delineated further.
As sure as the sun rises every day, if Obama loses, there will probably be some Blacks rioting, just because any excuse will do for young unemployed juveniles.
What I was trying to say was that it would more likely be the white liberals and anarchists who will be rioting.
Look at the kooks at the Denver Convention. (and yes, they were a mixture of all kinds of juveniles and hippies)
If Obama was white, he wouldn’t even be taken seriously. He’s the first affirmative action presidential candidate from a major party. Geraldine Ferraro was the first vice-presidential wannabe affirmative action hire.
