There are two things at play here—together, but separate.
The first is, a black man as President of the United States. That is a great step, a first, and I don’t want to take that away from people of color across all political and wealth spectrums. As a white person I wouldn’t really understand, I have nothing to compare this to, but I think they should be able to celebrate this without condemnation.
There is the second, and that is that BHO is a Marxist. He is not really an American in his soul. Once the African-American Community realizes that BHO is not really one of them either, they will turn on him. Pray for their communities, because trouble will start there. They didn’t have those Black Panthers standing around for nothing.
I agree. Polling my friends, black and white, it appears my husband and I and my sister and her beau were the only ones who voted for McCain.
I congratulated them and said it was great for the country. I mean that in that a black man was voted President. That is how they view it, so I am seeing it from their eyes.
Yeah, the substance piece is going to come, and when it does, it’s going to hurt liberals and conservatives both. No question.
That's where I have to disagree, not that Obama is not a Marxist, but that blacks will find that offensive.
IMHO many, perhaps even most, American blacks are Marxists at heart even though they don't realize it. Of course many poor and lower income whites are also Marxists at heart, the idea of getting something of value that was taken by force from people we envy is a common but nevertheless despicable human trait.
