Well, do the math. The majority of the US population is white-I know, not for long. But, right now it would make sense that the whites are the majority of the opposing voice as the majority of the population is white.

I am white, and I agree with Roland Martin. Unfortunately there are still many bitter white racist in the United States. These sore losers will nit pick at just about everything and anything that the president wants to do and label him as "socialist" or "dictator".

Then there's the other side who will not disagree with a single policy or idea from this administration. I find it really hard to believe that people can support 100% of the things that a government is doing. Can you say "in the tank"?

This doesn't have anything to do with the issue. It's not the racial demographics of the general population from which that assessment is made but the pool of those opposing the speech.

Well is the opposition mainly black, hispanic, asian, American Indian?

Have you seen anyone on television other than white people screaming that this is an indoctrination program?

Let's not make everything about race, but let's not pretend an element of it isn't there when in reality it is.

The left always have a race card handy don't they? Possibly they are mostly white because white parents are more involved in their children's education and many blacks walk in lockstep with hussein obama simply because he is black and will support him no matter what.



Both hussein obama and the left wingers seem intent on creating a race war.
