This isn't a Liberal viewpoint. It is an individuals opinion. I don't have enough experience with the o.p. to know their personal ideology but it doesn't strike me as particularly liberal given the present topic.

Im an observer. What i observe is that the TV news wants me to believe there is some kind of racial preference in white voters, but not so in non-white voters. Statistically speaking, a different pattern is revealed, with non white voters being far more hostile to the prospect of a white president than the other way round.
It needs to be discussed. When 93% of a nations minorities will not vote for a white, It cant be long till serious unrest results, sadly.
I would really hate for you to do anything rash in your panic that the America you know and love is about to... ... expel all its white people or worse. At the present time the country is still 75% white. It is not until 2043 that America will be 50% white. 50%... ... I mean... Blacks have never been more than 20% of the U.S. and are presently less than 12%... consider that. Even if 100% of blacks desire a candidate, 20% of white voters could nullify that outcome. If we bring Hispanics into the discussion things get interesting but it still comes down to white voter apathy more than any other factor in determining who America's future leaders will be.
Bottom line, ethnic minorities the world over are very well disposed to accepting white leadership. Its the reverse that is problematic. If we are going to discuss this, lets discuss it rationally... ... if that's possible. I'll put this out there FWIW. I have voted for white candidates many times in my life. I vote a straight Democratic ticket. Period. If Obama had been the Republican challenger, he would not have gotten my vote!! Statistics say anything about that? You really don't realize that Romney lost because a sizeable white population either didn't vote for him or didn't vote at all?? Shame on you.

Learn to read my posts before replying...
I already said...
We've already seen, with whites still in the majority (particularly above voting age), a non-white president can be elected
I can always tell when someone just turned off Savage.
Never listened to more than 5 minutes of Savage in my lifetime. Wouldn't even know where to find him if I tried other than hitting the scan button and seeing if he's on the air. And that's assuming i'm even in my car to begin with. I'm not a radio talk-show kind of person.

You are a biased observer then. What TV news wants you to believe... So you think there is a conspiracy... I mean... really... black people (and hispanic too) have been calmly accepting the victory of white candidate after white candidate in political elections for generation. Black candidates have appeared in presidential elections before Obama. Did you know that? Sharpton and Jackson have both made bids for the top seat but didn't even get out of primary run-off contests. Here you are, frothing at the mouth because of the election and re-election of Obama... ... you keep missing the point. Obama didn't win. Romney lost!!!!! He lost because Republicans have been co-opted by the Far Right and would want to take America back to the Victorian Era and no one else wants to go back there... ... If Republicans think they can find a Hispanic or an African American that is Conservative enough to be vetted by the Far Right well who am I to quibble. But when it comes down to the election, that individual will still LOSE to a Centrist Democrat regardless of his or her color. Don't believe me? That's ok. The proof, as they say, is in 2016.
