    I don't think blacks voting for Obama makes them racist. I think it's more complexed then that.
    If I was black in usa I'd vote for him too. Aren't black people there in general poorer and have lower status jobs then whites? In general.
    Romney said he didn't care about those people. If the other guy was an eskimo they'd probably vote for him too.

    It's pretty logic and understandable.

      But whites that vote for the white guy are racists, isn't that what you mean to say?

      What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Black people that admit they vote for Romney are labeled as race traitors and Uncle Toms. I witnessed it yesterday.

      You've got it wrong, girly. Romney said he wasn't concerned with the 47% of the people who would vote for Obama no matter what, meaning he knew it was pointless in trying to convince them of his viewpoint and get them to vote for him. Instead, he said, he would concentrate on the 5 - 10% Independents in the middle.

        I wasn't saying that white ppl voting for Romney are racist at all. I choose to believe that racists on either side are more often exception then a rule.

        "What does that have to do..." (sorry, can't go in betweet quotes from my iphone)
        I was just guarding myself from "why would blacks care about poverty more then whites?"


        To narrow it down, my point was black ppl probably voted for Ob. cause his politics are in their interest.

            I appreciate your response, but I do have to disagree when you said "cause his politics are in their interest." They may think that, but they're really not. Relying on the government is in nobody's interest and neither is a high unemployment rate nor a vastly increasing national debt.

                Over?

                Not even close. Obama still has to work with a Republican-controlled House of Representatives to get most things done. It should be interesting.

                  Sure, maybe, but it doesn't mean they are racist.

                  About the debt, you'll have to take it with you national bank.

                    Meanwhile, more Democrats than Republicans voted, 38-32 percent. In 2008, Democrats also outnumbered Republicans by 39-32 percent.
                    This to me is the most telling statistic of all presented... if you can't get 2/3rds of registered voters into the ballot box then clearly you've failed to present a viable candidate.

                            It's going to be interesting to see what the Obama justice department has to say about these new state pot laws. I think the feds are going to stomp them out. Which brings us to an important subject. States rights vs. the federal government. We've let the feds get too powerful.

                            As long as the pot is grown within that state's borders, the feds should have no say in the matter. As long as it isn't an interstate commerce issue.

                            These are the issues all of us need to be concerned with and I think are being overlooked.

                              That asshole might not want to walk out in the open in New York City or New Jersey after what he said. Unbelievable. It's going to take over a year for some of those areas to recover from this and for some individuals, much longer. It couldn't have happened at a worst time either. Winter is rolling in.

                                I think if we used all the technology we have access to wisely and managed our resources better, the average person could live a pretty high lifestyle. Most of the scarcity is engineered. If you travel, you will see people living on some of the most unproductive land thriving and then you will see some people living on some great land living in poverty. The difference is how corrupt the leadership is and how productive the people are. You have to have good leadership and people who are willing to get educated and work. If you have those two things, a society can do amazing things.
