Oh, for pity’s sake...
As a Hispanic male, I gotta say it: some white people are just plain pathetic.
I’m still convinced that about 1/4 of Obama’s vote came from guilty whites (of all political persuasions) who didn’t want to be thought of as racist.
GET OVER IT ALREADY!
“I’m still convinced that about 1/4 of Obama’s vote came from guilty whites (of all political persuasions) who didn’t want to be thought of as racist.”
Precisely. I’ve posted that concept numerous times.
Dude, I'm thinking the percentage was a lot higher than that.
The “whites” I talked to about it couldn't give one concrete reason for voting for the senator with the least amount of experience at the national level, no political legislation as a senator to point to, no experience in the private sector, no papers or essays he wrote as a student or while editor of the Harvard Press, and no definitive plan for his term in office.
Of the whites that voted for him, I guarantee 1/2 to 2/3 of them did so for the “white guilt” reasons you cited (and that Shelby Steele nailed perfectly in his book “White Guilt”). Most of the rest were communionists who wanted payola from Obammie the Commie.
As a white male conservative who truly follows MLK’s instructions to view not the color of the skin but the content of their character, I was on the one hand really pissed off at what is nothing more than racism on the part of whites who voted for Obama because he is black and on the other hand I felt damn good that they were proving that they are the real racists and that their accusations against we conservatives who voted on principle are completely baseless.
And you're right. A lot of whites are damn pathetic, and it sickens me.
i am wondering how he can possibly be married to her.
Sadly you are correct in many cases.
