What If Obama Loses?
Newsweek ^ | 27 September 2008 | Allison Samuels

Posted on 10/06/2008 8:32:39 PM PDT by Terrence DoGood

Racism, naturally, plays a part in the conversation. "I've never forgotten that he is a smart, articulate black man with a smart, articulate black wife," says Linda Wright, 34, a nurse's assistant from Houston."You think white people were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land without a fight?" The overriding feeling is apprehension, a vague fear of losing something people thought was theirs to keep. "My kids love Obama and they think it's so obvious he should be the president," says actor D. L. Hughley. "I was just honest in saying life isn't always fair and certainly isn't always fair for African-Americans. But Obama has overcome so many obstacles, it's easy to forget reality."

There's not a lot of anger—yet—but you can start to sense the potential for it. "I'm going to be mad, real mad, if he doesn't win," says Daetwon Fisher, 21, a construction worker from Long Beach, Calif. "Because for him to come this far and lose will be just shady and a slap in black people's faces. I know there is already talk about protests and stuff if he loses, and I'm down for that."

I have a relative like that. Is he also spoiled, from a fairly rich family, and a consistent underachiever?

Good grief

If you are concern about this election and the racial outcome and constitutional crisis from electing an Indonesian citizen assuming office of the Presidency of the United States of America on January 2009, it is important you read this lawsuit thoroughly, very scary stuff!!!

You can come to my house, I have extra hounds, guns, and ammo! Seriously though, all you have to do is blare some Hank Williams Sr. out our window and they will stay blocks if not miles away!

the affirmative action Obama’s intelligence eludes me totally. And his hateful, racist wife...best not go there.....

"Smart" and "articulate" mean different things to different people.

"Because for him to come this far and lose will be just shady and a slap in black people's faces. I know there is already talk about protests and stuff if he loses, and I'm down for that." Baisden hears a lot of that incipient resentment on his show, but he tries to soothe people rather than incite them. "Look, if he loses we have no one to blame but ourselves because that meant we all didn't go out and vote in the numbers we should have," says Baisden. "Yes, people will be upset, but it will be in a productive way. There will be a rational reaction if things are fair."

Calm down, Daetwon, your man's going to win. The taxpayers have been forced to pay the stupid and lazy to breed for so long, they now out number us. You'll get your socialism. It won't work here any better than any where else, but, you'll have what you want. You ignorant piece of trash.

If we had put O.J. in jail after the “Dream Team”/Ito fiasco, there would have been riots. Now, he’s going to prison and everyone just shrugs. I’m not worried about what will happen if Hussein Obama loses. If God blesses America, Hussein Obama WILL LOSE!

getting close only counts, as the old saying goes, in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Well...and A-Bombs too.

Oh, I'm stocking up on pizza stuff too. I wonder if they make pizza MREs.

They do. It's called "Nutrasystem". At least it looks like an MRE to me.

Yes. He basically called me a racist for not supporting Obama. That’s all they have. Never mind ideology.

If Obama looses we endure riots, If Obama wins we endure socialism for 4 years.

Either way a lot of looting will occur. At least with riots you can defend yourself if need be.

I know, Terrence. It’s still just awful, though.
You know, many people of all races have worked very hard over the years to stop racism in this country. Somehow - some people believe it’s still OK and not racist to have animosity towards white people for being white.
Sometimes all I can do is just shake my head.
At any rate...we got an alarm system and my husband bought another pistol and got his CCL just for any possible upcoming events. We are also probably going to get shotgun in a week or so.
I’m hoping there is no violence, however, I’m not confident it won’t happen.
There are people even in this country who would love to see us acting like we’re from the 3rd world.

What about the blatant anti-white racism of Obama’s church of twenty years? No one in the mainstream media seem concerned about THAT racism.

“There are tons of stories out there like this and those that say the ONLY reason one would not vote for Obama is racism.”

I’d vote for Condi Rice or Michael Steele in a heartbeat but not for Obama if my heart were to stop.

Go easy on him. The guilt of never having struggled for a single thing in a worthless life, and knowing it, can be overbearing. /sarcasm, kinda

Well boys and girls I am keeping my powder dry in case Obama LOSES. I have a feeling that there will be rioting if he loses.

Liberals will stoke the fire up too by saying that McCain stole the election.

Watch and listen...

You know - after all I’ve been reading/seeing/hearing/learning about obama - “inexperience” is the least of my worries. Can you imagine - if he had even more of his marxist experience under his belt?
I’d support you as president over obama.

African-Americans thought he had no chance—then they started to believe. Now they fear defeat.

Geez, the MSM needs to get its story straight. I thought that this thing was over, and that Obama had it locked up.
