    I notice that few people posting here have tried to refute that Barack Obama was elected president because he was black.

    Most have tried to obscure it with the allegation that the very notion was racist.

    I'll never understand it.

    When a majority of white people don't vote for a black candidate they are "racists".

    But when 95% of blacks vote for a black candidate they are NOT "racists".

    You can't have it both ways.

    Nope. Faulty premise leads to faulty conclusion.

    Really, dredging anything in egg then coating it in breadcrumbs makes almost anything better.

    You can do it to chicken: easy schnitzel. You can do it to pounded sirloin: easy milanesa.

    Bull fucking shit. See as evidence: every leftist media outlet in the U.S. since 2008. You can't fucking lie when your shit is already out in the open, just as an FYI.

    Obama was elected for 2 fucking reasons, and exactly 2 reasons -- no more, no less: 1. He's half black. 2. He's a fucking Communist.

    That's it. That's fucking all.

    How many people do you have on ignore?

    However, I notice only you and John Klansman stating that as the overwhelming reason.

    A lot of racists don't realize what they are. The term doesn't always mean cross burnings and White hoods.

    Just the blatant fucking liars, which constitute 100% of Leftforge. Now admit that you support Obama because of his race instead of his insane, anti-American policies, and we can move on.

    Fuck off. We've all seen what you defend, and what you defend is Communist. Your party has blasted all the subterfuge out of the picture, stop clinging to it. You're fucking known. You're fucking outed. Stop with the lies, it's too fuckin' late.

    The difference between Dayton and visionrazer is that Dayton doesn't think his world view is racist, when in fact it is. While visionrazer absolutely knows his world view is racist, and tries to couch it in nationalism.

    Both are insidious, just different flavors of it.

    One only wonders, at this point, whether you mean Pelosi, Feinstein or that Klingon cunt who insists that everyone's kids belong to the State now.

    Exactly right.

    "He only got the job 'cuz he's black" is just as racist as a whites-only bathroom. One is just more subtle than the other.

    You have to be living in severe denial to not acknowledge that race played at least a small factor in Obama being elected. It also helped that he was a Democrat and ran on a platform of "Change". At the time people liked what he had to say, and they also liked the fact that he was a man of color as electing him would even further be a vote towards change in America.

    In the end, Obama had us fooled on all fronts.

    Democrats voted for him because they hate republicans.
    Black people voted for him because he's black. And they hate republicans.

    Depends what you mean by "Republicans".

    The party of Lincoln?
    No such animal anymore.
    Can't hate defunct entities.

    The Corporatist oligarchy that poses as "the GOP", but is indistinguishable from Royalism?

    Oh, fuck yeah, I hate them.
    You can't be a liberty-loving human being with multiple functioning braincells, and not hate them.

    The everyday average shmoes who call themselves Republican, and vote in the Corporatist oligarchs?

    Case-by-case basis.

    Obama's first election making Sokar cry, yes, that gave me a boner.
    I said so at the time.
    I can't go back on it, and not be a phony.

    The people that pull the lever holding their nose, I have a bit more sympathy for.

    Except I don't... and it wouldn't matter if I did.

    I just enjoy watching you and dipshit getting all twisted trying to claim you don't hate having a black man in a white house.

    Is it true the only reason you didn't vote for him was because he was black?That seems to follow the logic here. If a vote for was solely to have a black prez, then any vote against must have been to prevent it.

    I move that Visionrazor's name be changed to John Whitesonlycastle.

    Besides representing his views on who may run for public office, it serves to remind us that the post you are about to read from him is devoid of any substance fit for repeated consumption. You'll probably need to take a dump within 30 minutes of ingesting anything.

    IIRC, 20% of the population have said they'd never vote for a black president, 20% have said they'd never vote for a female president, 20% will never vote for a Mormon, and 20% won't vote for someone from the opposing political party. I'm going to guess that there's some significant overlap in those numbers, so the actual number of folks who're some combination of racist, sexist, religious, or ideological bigot is probably less than 10% of the total US population. If we could just deport those douchebags, it'd be a great country!

    After eight years of neo-conservative, anti-intellectual, evangelical-driven, "with us or with the terrorists" horseshit from George W. Bush, yeah, people were ready for change. I also think people were excited to elect someone who reflected the changing cultural makeup of the country, and who didn't seem like a raging asshole all the time.

    It didn't help that the other guys put up a candidate who seemed befuddled by the complexity of modern life, responded to the biggest financial crisis this country has had in 70 years by throwing up his hands and who wasn't even liked by his own party.

    So if that translates into "he got elected 'cuz he's black" then I don't know what to tell you.
