Why do people have to constantly bring up color, the problem in this Country, is that the color issue will never go away, as some constatnly use it as a crutch.

In most of the cases i know where people i know who actually voted for Obama the first time, will not this time around. They got a chance to see Obama in action, his personality, how he handles business, and people and those who disagree with this man, watch out, he will get even.

His politices, his spending habits, and his lousy health care bill. An economy that has done nothing since he has been in office but continue to slide. Gas prices constantly rising. The worse housing criris to experience, and no ending in site, think you have value in your home think again, it is sliding, because of the thousands of bank owned properties. So many lost their jobs under this President, like it or not true.
Businessess that we have come to love and know forever, closing doors.

It is not because of his color, stop using this as an excuse, take the damn race card out of this and say, it is because he could not deliver on a promise to us all of bringing great positive Hope n' Change. And if this is the change ya all wanted, you have problems.

Is this a sign of their frustration at the realization the Obama is likely to server a second term?

It's disgusting behavior that I think all reasonable people on both sides of the political spectrum can come together and condemn.
Yes and it will get worse. The tea party is armed to the teeth and will not be able to control the rage once Obama is re-elected. I suggest those 11 or 12 blacks that follow the tea party around from state to state not be with them on election night.

Detroit deserter is racist now? Must be the self hating bigot variety,lol.

I think more people are openly hostile towards Obama, just as society is more openly hostile towards everthing and everybody.

This is the new norm. Same hostility will be there no matter what color or gender the subsequent Presidents will be.

"Negro News"? Really?
The true instances of racism are in the minority.

Is the Negro News white or black originated? Negro News by itself tells me nothing.
