Judging by the webpage, I'm seeing that this is a Conservative site, meaning that the poll that was taken is biased, the same way a Liberal page would be.
Because of that, and the fact that I can speak for myself, I don't believe this nor can I take this "poll" seriously. I find it amazing how they only go by 2009 and not any year before...
(Personally speaking, race relations in this country are no better or worse than they were 5 years ago, but at least better than they were 50 years ago.)
Well let me be perfectly honest with you. As long as any black person acts and speaks like Obama, your blackness will not be an issue with a non-black person. What is very off-putting to non-blacks is a black person reeking of urban ghetto culture. It's not the colour of your skin, it's the ghetto mannerisms, dress code and talking in ebonics. If you act like a gangsta thug on the outside, then someone who doesn't know you all that well is going to assume that you are a gangsta thug on the inside.
In real life, I actually have several close friends who are black. I respect them and they respect me. Some women and some men. What they all have in common is their lack of ghetto mannerisms and life philosophy. They also believe in working hard and aren't thinking that reparations are owed to them over the slavery issue.
True. It's the Reason Obama got elected. I'm more surprised that Obama got non-black votes because he has a Muslim name than anything else. He acted mainstream enough to get middle America to vote for him.
"Well let me be perfectly honest with you. As long as any black person acts and speaks like Obama"
True again. Who wants to put up with a bunch of baffoons. "What is very off-putting to non-blacks is a black person reeking of urban ghetto culture"
I didn't vote for McCain, Romney or Obama either. I haven't voted for a D or R since 1996 when I based my Dole vote on wanting Jack Kemp as VP and one day POTUS. Closest someone that libertarian has ever come to the White House. Since then, I vote Libertarian, write in my own name or stay home.
And read Malcolm X on how neither party is a friend of any race, particularly black people.
Staying home is the problem. The reason two political parties are able to exist is because a large percentage of people stay home. Just the tally of people that don't cast votes can elect a a third party into national office...

Yes, and this is why nobody in the US had insisted his birth certificate was fake, that he used "foreign" status to get into college, that his grades at Harvard Law School were "terrible", that Bill Ayers must have written his first book because his second one was "terrible". Except for that time when Donald Trump became GOP frontrunner by saying all of that brazenly racist stuff.
And nobody would create Obama Bucks, or a picture of Obama shining Sarah Palin's shoes, or publish a picture of watermelons outside of the white house lawn, or call him "the Affirmative Action president", or suggest that his successful Stimulus bill is "reparations" or claim that his expression of sympathy for a family whose son was chased down and shot was "race-baiting", or...
you know what, I could do this all night, so let's just say that you're laughable wrong.
Race relations got worse but it wasn't because of President Obama. It was because of the white supremacist that hate the fact that their president is black and him and his attorney general standing up to white supremacist when they have to. There's also the fact that these types are upset about the executive branch standing up for voting rights, women's rights, and civil rights...
So racism is caused by racism.
I hate Obama's policies. I think he is completely wrong for the job. He got elected because he was well-spoken and clean to paraphrase Biden.
I thought all the races were having relations. Is there one race that has sworn off having relations? Do tell.
