For me I will wonder if people like Farrakhan are right after all. I honestly felt that America had changed until the tea party showed up and now after one debate how could mitt and his the rich first policies be accepted. Then I started reading about the white male vote and how it never goes anywhere but for other white males and I realized why romney made his come back.
So now I have to wonder how does this same attitude play out in everyday life? if these men will not support anyone but their own race then should minorities be the same way? I knew there was plenty of racism in the GOP but now I have to wonder is it just the GOP and the tea party or is it much wider and deeper than that?

It would say that enough of the people that voted for him last time thought he did a poor enough job to warrant voting for someone else or not voting. That is what it will say, though clearly not what you will hear.

What kind of a miracle did these people expect and why wasn't bush judged that same way?

It sends a message that America runs off a system and breaking that system isn't allowed. Most people aren't political Davy so of Obama loses most will think racism and that's a little correct but maintaining a owner, worker class is basically what runs any successful country. It's not so much racism s it is keeping people where they belong.

Uh well...I'm a minority, and if Romney does win it'll mean that the man that I wanted to win, won.

Are we now supposed to vote minorities into office forever?

If you want to be successful, pay your bills...don't just run up debts until you have to declare bankruptcy would be the best message to come out of this failed President.

I think the message here is that you are reaching. For anything. I think your post is a classic case of Big Bird Syndrome.

Try to make the perception that little things are important, and that big things, particularly if they shine a negative light on this administration, are little things and unimportant.

The presidency isn't an affirmative action project.

I've said that to myself before as well. I used to laugh at Fraakhan talking about "white devils"'...LOL

I'm starting to get where that is coming from.

I've never seen so much tribalism from these low IQ whites that make up the GOP base.

The Muslim claims, the birther smears, the socialist smears.

I just hope minorities will not be as cruel to us as we've been to them.

For God sakes it's 2012 and the GOP is trying to limit their voting rights.
