    so because 3 rednecks in Texas killed a black man several years ago, that's proof that the other 300 million here are racists? come on now.

    and I don't see anyway possible that Obama could be more hated than W. has anybody made an attempt on W?

    I'm from South Carolina, and our senior senator is gay as hell and none of us rednecks have left him to die tied to a fence. that should be proof how far the country has come in tolerating different kinds of people.

    Here is the difference between northern racists and southern racists:

    Southern racist: "Youns a damn n#%*&$!!!!!!"

    Northern racist: "Oh, there is a black guy over there! Lock the door!" (sipping a latte', on her way speeding back to the 'burbs after attending a fundraiser for school lunches for young black students in the inner city)

    This a terrible, close-minded, ignorant thread. I haven't heard one person say anything derogatory about Obama from the standpoint of race.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    I had a feeling ever since I knew he was running, and now it looks like he is going to get the dem nomination,

    will he be assassinated?

    Hillary, is that you?

    Sounds like the kind of fear-mongering that would come out of McCain's mouth.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win
  • My husband and I had a similar conversation. Only I said "we just need to keep him from being assisinated".

    If he is ultimately elected, the hill billies that can't tolerate an educated black man in office...combined with him just wanting to shake the status quo up a bit, I think the threat could be real.

    (and I am an Obama supporter :))

    I have a friend that said "I just can't vote for a black man". This guy is a red neck, mill-worker, so it didn't surprise me that he would feel that way. What surprised me was my response. I flat out called him a bigot.
  • I understand all of you people saying that racism is still a real threat in this country, and yes, it does still exist. BUT... Doesn't the fact that we have a black man with a muslim name and woman arguably the favorites to be elected as the next president of the United States say how far we have come as a whole?!?!
    I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

    Assassination as in quick death? I don't think so.

    I think his opponents are more for the slow painful delivery of one cheap shot after another.

    i agree. It speaks volumes. i also think, however that it would be a bit naive to say that there isn't a long, long way yet to go. (i'm not saying YOU are naive). As far as the rest goes, to be completely honest, i'm a little more worried about someone peeling hillary's cap back. She afterall, is the divisive one with very high negative ratings. i'm not endorsing that, even as much as i hate her, i only think that if we are going to have this somewhat ridiculous conversation, we shant leave out the fact that there might be some who would do HER harm as well.

    Perhaps in the case of Barack Obama some people are voting for him not because of Race or Creed but perhaps the content of his character......

    God forbid we actually give a shit about the tangible things he can actually help.

    No one gets to choose what race they are born into.


    For the record no, I don't think he'll be killed.

    Barack Obama will be assassinated within months if he wins the US presidential election, world champion boxer Bernard Hopkins fears.

    Philadelphia-born Hopkins, known in the ring as The Executioner told the Independent on Sunday newspaper in Britain that he did not think the US was ready for an African-American president.

    "If he gets the nomination they won't let him become president, but if they do, it will be for a short time, maybe less than a month or two," he said.

    "His life would be in jeopardy.

    "People may say it is time for change but when it comes down to it, I don't think America is ready for that type of heat."

    Hopkins, who calls himself a "Republicrat", said he was backing Hillary Clinton.

    "I do not think Obama would survive for too long if he won and Hillary seems the best person for the job," he said.

    "For me, she has the experience - she has already been a president for eight years."

    Hopkins, 43, served jail time in his teens for "beating up pimps and prostitutes" before rebuilding his life through a successful career in boxing.

    The world light-heavyweight champion developed a reputation for being outspoken on issues of race, previously drawing criticism for saying that he would "never lose to a white boy".

    Hopkins did not share his thoughts on the leading Republican contender, John McCain.

    "I don't really care what happens as long as they get Bush out of there," he said, referring to US President George Bush.

  • Yeah but OJ was just a football player that killed his wife. He couldn't change anything. If Obama is elected he is the leader of our country and has just a bit more say then a football player...Dontcha ya think?

    I'm pretty sure the aryan nations don't like any modern-day president we've had, since most of our presidents lately have pleged support for Israel, a target more interesting than the black man to the aryans.


    But the aryans hatred towards blacks are much more stronger then there hate for jews at least they similar in color...

    Yea, we all are living in modern day. But that does not mean everyone in America is. Not all people in this country live and think in a normal way like we do.
    Its not racist to ask if he might be saught after. Its a perfectly legit question.
    Look at the history of America and educated black men who try to make a difference in this world.

    Some of you in here are so freakin defensive!
    Uh oh, question about a Black man!!!! Racist Racist!
