Obama turned people racist? I didn't know he was capable of mind control...he's powerful indeed.
This is only speculation but I think some of you may have been racists way before you ever heard of Obama. Now you just have someone to focus those hateful feelings on.

I have a strong feeling that echoes what you're saying. Many people were racist BEFORE President Obama came along.
What this election shows is this. The more things change, the more they stay the same. With President Obama's election, it brought out alot of people who would have otherwise kept their mouths to themselves.
White people enslave black people for 400 years, then legally segregate them for 100 years, then marginalize them for 40 more years, then scapegoat and blame them for all social ills up until the present. Then a black man runs for president, gets overwhelming support from the black community and you’re scratching your head over it? Really?
Just wondering how all those angry white beavers who are angry about black people voting in droves for Obama think we felt for decades because we only had one marginal white man and one that didn't care if black people lived or died to vote for because they were the only ones running.
Once upon a time the " vast overwhelming majority of whites " did vote against AFRICAN AMERICAN it was during the Legalized Slavery ERA.......remember...?
in 1860 most white people couldn't vote. The land-owning provision was lifted in 1850 and almost immediately states started adding a literacy test. The franchise wasn't extended to women until 1920.
Exit polls indicate that 93% of blacks voted for Obama. That's HUGE! If only 1 of 15 whites voted for Obama it would have been called extreme racial prejudice. Is that why the overwhelming majority of blacks back Obama? I'm not a racist by any means and don't want this thread to get out of hand, but 14-1 voting in a presidential election by any race is monumental.
The other main difference between the President and Gov. Romney was political ideology. Obama stands for those who want government to redistribute wealth and provide more goods and services to the electorate while Romney stood for those who want government to downsize. Romney basically campaigned as a JFK of 2012 -- "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Obama has turned that around.
So why the monumental landslide for Obama by African Americans? Race? Ideology? Something else?
When you have the history of what went on before the civil rights and how the republicans want to suppress the 1st Black president, what does that tell the Black population. What does the suppressing of the Minority vote tell Hispanics, Asians? If this is what you can do to the potus what will you do if it were a Hispanic or Asian president?...
You see what happened before the election around this forum?? That was a tool i used to better educate the minority communities around where i live and i was more than happy to pass along what information captured here and other forums, they were more than happy to spread the word accross statewide. You folks i will admit, built that, i didnt really do much but provided the info they were deserving of. Thanks for the folks who contributed, including the mods who thought it was ok for some of the right wingers to be so vile and insultive of the highest office in the land and yet for petty things sought to boot some supposed left wingers. It did prove, the world isnt fair and that we had to do what needed to equalise the injustice. Point & case, President Obama got a 2nd term.
Most people are inclined to vote for someone who seems like one of their own. No one should be surprised about the black vote. I bet at least 90% of Mormons voted for Romney.
With some Republicans distances themselves from Mitt Romney's comments, Romney has only helped to turn away independents or moderate thinkers. I think what should happen is that the Republicans who are moderates should purge the party of the likes of Mitt Romney. Then the party needs to regroup on how to get more people attracted to the party.
If Republicans are truly concerned about 93% of the Black vote going to President Obama, or to Democrats generally, maybe the Republican party should come up with a strategy that appeals to middle class Blacks. Mitt Romney has appeal to suburban Whites. Why not do the same for Blacks?
The only strategy that would appeal to middle class black folks is socialism. Blacks have been voting Dem since FDR. Blacks are traditionally left of center because most can't compete in a free market system.
It's really not that complicated folks. There really isn't much the GOP can do although some nominal forays into the hood wouldn't hurt I guess.
