Im not trying to stir up an racist comments, I am just stating my opinion on this "unfair" election. Everyone is saying that he went through the most diffucult election with all these obstacles in his way. But, he had the easiest campaign out of all people. With the media flaming the GOP, and all the "African-American" people voting for him, how could he not win. I think Obama is a good person, but come on, how could you just vote for him because he's black? I was watching the campaign, and supposedly they voted for him because of history. What history? Half the people that voted for him didnt even know why they did, but its just that the fact he is black. It is stupid voting for someone you don't even know because they can have the worst views and bad opinions for you, but you would vote for him because he's black? EFF History is all that I have to say. This video here proves my point:

Its a video with Howard Stern switching the views of the presidential nominess. And guess what, the voters didnt even know what to say....

 

 

 

The thing that I can't stand the most is that how could you be so uneducated?

For [bleep]'s sake.

Yeah, charisma has a lot do with getting votes and I think his heritage is just an addition to his charisma. But I think if Obama had completely bogus ideas for our country then even the black population wouldn't vote for him. So, they didn't vote for him just because he's black, but because he has good ideas and he's black.

For [bleep]'s sake.

 

 

 

 

 

well, now i can see where this threads going... :^o

Dude its over, stop making up excuses, yes he black, but you saying a minority didn't vote for McCain because he's white?

 

Prove that white people voted for McCain because he white and I let you win the arguement

Yea, it's not like his Republican opponent screwed up countless times, or because people liked his policies, or because of his experience, or because people actually believed he could change America for the better. It was only because he was black.

 

 

 

Also, don't blame your racist views on our "lack of education." :roll:

Yes, thats exactly what the OP is trying to state.

The American presidential elections have been more based on image than politics ever since the introduction of mass media.

 

 

 

This was particularly evident after the Kennedy-Nixon debate.

If he was white John McCain would have won.

 

 

 

:roll:

For [bleep]'s sake.

 

 

 

please please please please, do not be another d*** rider. The skin is practically gone.

It's over dude. If you bring it back up then it really means you're racist. Just stop.

It probably also had something do with McCain being a bad candidate. Republicans didn't even like him.

Your probably right.

Maybe people just thought he was the better candidate. What's to say that a white person as well spoken and charismatic with a strong message of "hope" and "change" couldn't have won against McCain? Obama just had a far better campaign as far as I'm concerned.

 

 

 

I'm not so sure the media was as one-sided as you think either, considering Obama was grilled to no end by the GOP about terrorist links, a crazy former-pastor and socialism. God knows I heard as much about those things as I did about Sarah Palin being an incompetent idiot.

 

 

 

To be honest I think you're just bitter because your candidate lost. It doesn't sound too good months after the fact coming on here to air your grievances.

Oh yeah, being black totally made it an unfair election. We should only let white candidates run so they're all fair. /sarcasm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's your point? Why make a thread out of this stupid ideology of yours? Grow up.

Unless the OP changed his name, and several pages were instantaneously deleted, don't we already have a thread about this?

Perhaps is was because he was the better candidate :o

I am sure that he did get some votes because he is black, and not to the same extent but I am sure McCain got some votes because he was not black.........

 

 

 

His skin colour probaly will have made a noticeable impact on the results given the number of new voters who voted for Obama who would have otherwise left it alone.

 

 

 

HOWEVER I don't think it won him the election. McCain was seen by most of the world as bad news, I cant recall one good story about him, whilst Obama seemed to have more substance to him

 

 

 

 

 

He never played the race card...... and good for him! He was standing for president not black president. His views where strong and fair (in most cases) and thats why he won.

 

 

 

 

 

A more convincing argument was that he won because he was a democrat...... any republican would have a hard time getting elected after Bush.

With all the "African-American" people voting for him, how could he not win.

 

 

 

They always vote Democratic. Like 90%. Always.

Eh, blacks are less educated in America, and consequently are more impressionable. They're also a younger race here. A younger black man demanding change is more attractive than a bumbling ol' honkey, in my buddy Fernando's terms.

So next time a white guy wins, I'm going to say "He won because he's white!"

 

:roll:

I'm locking this now.

 

 

 

Too much potential for people to try and get away with racism or start flame feasts.
