White Peoples' Riot. Yeah I Said It.
Advertisements [?]
I'm still trying to close my mouth and wrap my mind around the current hysteria a lot of white people are experiencing simply because a black man is about to become the democratic nominee.

All of a sudden, rules don't matter anymore, principles don't matter, and any and every excuse under the sun is being raised as an objection to why this cannot be allowed to happen. Have you no shame? Are you not embarassed by how you look?

Lots of gnashing of teeth.

Hate to tell you all something. You are seeing american life in a microcosm. All over America, in every sphere of life, black people experience in one degree or another, what Barrack is going through now. Somehow, the goalposts always, ALWAYS, change when a black person is involved, whether it's being a quarterback, or an employee that has to prove he or she is twice as good to get a promotion or letter of commendation.

I would have absolutely no objection to this nonsense if the positions were reversed, but the people who are bringing up all sorts of stupid arguments about why the frontrunner should not get the prize ought to be ashamed of yourselves. The willingness to just write off an entire group of loyal supporters in order to falsely claim you need to attract people who never voted for us in the first place is despicable.

For some reason, somebody is trying to lay down the rule that only the nominee that can attract the majority of white male voters is acceptable as the American president. Why is that? The unstated implication in this is that somehow it is unfair to elect a president who does not get the majority white male vote, even if he doesn't need it to win.

I'm so glad that by the time they noticed Barrack, it was too late to stop him. He quietly built his power on grass-roots activism instead of media perceptions. Can you imagine what would have happened had they seen him coming? I shudder to think of it.

All you people whining and crying about let the process continue. You got what you wanted. You thought that it was Obama being vetted and that somehow, something would stick to knock him out. What you got though, is that it is Hillary being vetted. I'm glad that you insisted on this because I would have never uncovered the extent of how corrupt the Clintons are. As a double bonus, Barrack is still laying the ground roots basis in all the states you keep saying we can't win, by having to keep campaigning against Hillary.

It's still blowing my mind how people are so casually willing to just throw the support of the black constituency under the bus. WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE! as Jeremiah Wright would say. And the truth of the matter is, the only reason that it's not going to happen despite all your crazy concoctions and excuses, is that the democrats can't win a damned thing without the black vote.

I agree with you. Let Hillary go all the way to the end. Let all the poisons hatch out in the mud. Let her completely ruin herself, because I for one do not relish the idea that after Obama wins the presidency, the Clintons will be forever trying to subvert him, working and scheming to make sure he fails.
