Tell him black and bitter is only appropriate for coffee, not for going through life.

“mama, did Obama lose because he was black?”

“No, son, skin color shouldn’t matter. I say “shouldn’t “ because I have to admit, I didn’t know much about Obama four years ago besides the fact that he was black, and I got all excited at the thought of having a black president for the first time. So I voted for him. I mean, he sounded good, and the people on TV all seemed to love him. So I wore the t-shirt and put on the bumper sticker and voted for him!

“But right after he won, that’s when daddy lost his job. We had nothing. My hours got cut to where we could hardly buy food. That’s why daddy had to go across the state and live with grandpa so he could work with him at the shop. It’s been a hard four years. So this time around, I said Phooey on all those people on TV. I started listening and reading about both the candidates. I don’t care what they look like. I care who’s gonna bring jobs to this town, so we can get daddy back and all live together, and have enough to get a new washer dryer and maybe a new big tv!

” And if you listen to their plans, it seems mitt Romney knows what he is talking about on how to make towns prosperous. That’s what we need right now. So I’m not voting for the black man. So what? Jews, Asians, Latinos, Indians, there are a lot of different Americans. We don’t have to match to our President like shoes to a handbag!”

Tell him that up till now, every time we’ve had a Presidential election, some white guy lost. Somebody wins, somebody loses. Get over it.

You say that he was a lousy President, but that was not a function of a skin color, but rather one of his character and policies.

Black, white or green, true Americans don’t want socialism.

Tell him that Bill Clinton was the first black president
(according to “author” Toni Morrison).

Tell that that anybody can be elected President in America, including your kids. Also tell them that if a person does a good job s/he is respected and rewarded. And if a person does a shit-can job, s/he is replaced. Simple. Easy. Your kids will understand.

Larry Elder is neither a racist nor an effing fool. I had the same reaction as you when I read the headline. I decided to read the article when I saw who wrote it.

Larry chose a deliberately provocative headline. It probably increased readership. It also caused a lot of disgust among those who don’t know Larry and didn’t read the article.

Well, for older children, one might tell them the history of the Civil Rights Movement, play them Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech and explain, “Unfortunately, Barack Obama was elected for the color of his skin, not the content of his character.”

Tell your child “No midnight basketball or nobama-phone in your future. Go do your chores like every body else”.

Why not tell him that the people voted character and ability not skin color and affirative action. The truth will set you free.

The same any parent does.That the worst President since Carter lost the election. That a man not capable of doing the job (Obama) was defeated by a man (Romney)capable of doing the job.
That their world is about to get better.
That their Country is about to return to greatness.
Any or all of the above..

I suggest that you paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King: Barack Obama was not judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

He lost.

What do I tell my black child if Barack Obama, America’s first black president, loses his bid for re-election?

You play them Martin Luther King’s I have a dream speech.
Tell them: Obama lost, not because of the color of his skin but due to the content of his character.
