Why are people resorting to racial attacks on Obama?

[Stir]

Right, because us evil Republicans want to re-instate slavery and take away their voting rights.

No, no, no... Nothing wrong with republicans.
It's your leaders we can't stand. They're only in charge because they've got money, after all. And those leaders would love to enslave éveryone.

Wow. Over the course of one post, you lost the thread of your own argument.

You don't live in a box in South Milwaukee, by any chance? You sound more suspiciously familiar by the second.

Thing is, Romney's a mormon, a religious group not exactly well known for it's tolerance of other races. I guess you could say they voted for Obama because he was black, but it was because as a black person he would likely give them more support, not purely based on his skin colour. Is that a bit selfish? Yes perhaps, but it's not racist. Everyone wants the guy in charge who's going to support your group the most.

Most black people don't know anything about Mormons. Even if all Mormons, including Romney, hated all black people, the vast majority of the blacks wouldn't know that.

Infracted.

Because the only reason a conservative could ever possibly win an election is if he bribed voters. Meanwhile Democrats are magical candidates who refuse to accept donations more than $20 and are fighting for the people.

you sure know a lot about black people i must say.

So it's back to the typical Republican tactic of blaming everyone but themselves. O ok kewl.

So now you're implying that black people are somehow unable to access general knowledge to find out about Mormonism.

Ever since Obama's re-election a number of individuals have resorted to extreme racial attacks on the president. During the election day some people attempted to somehow justify their racism by saying he somehow cheated the system by only winning the electoral college vote, and not the actual nationwide vote. When it was revealed that he did in fact win BOTH the electoral college AND the popular vote, the attacks just went full blown racial. Everything from calling him the N-word, to a monkey. With a huge percentage of these same posters saying that the only thing worse than a black man for president, would be a woman president.

What causes these individuals to be so bitter about a candidate winning an election tat they have to racially attack them? Despite all of the negativity, the majority of people still voted for Obama, and this shows that not everyone is racist or bigoted. But why are these individuals so against women or minorities attaining high positions of power? Does someone's gender or race affect their ability to lead?

A website showing a some of the posts and names of various racist and sexist anti-obama critics:

You would do well to do more digging and more reading online and in papers and TV.

The people who are being Racist are not the real people upset by him Winning, they are there for the smear campaign that if you dislike obama for any reason your no better than the racists and bigots who call him a monkey.

This is the same bs they do when if your anti SOPA PIPA ACTA Then your Pro Child porn.

[Roose]

Racism is a reflection of ignorance. Most of these people that say this absurd shit have no idea wtf they are talking about, so they resort to racist nonsense. It would be too hard for them to find a legit reason, even though there are plenty.

It is also showing that the South is not the only source of racism like many would like to think.

Oh ya, that site is freaking lame. Who cares about a bunch of kids when we have adults saying far worse shit.

[Palmatum]

Same reason as any resorts to insults - Their out of rational arguments to present.

[Spectral]

We all know that is why. I doubt a pollster went around asking every black person "are you voting for Obama because he's black?"

Most white liberals don't even know what Obama's policies are, yet you think a demographic that tends to be the poorest and least educated somehow knows Obama's record?

The African-American populace always votes heavily Democrat. When you say, "we all know that", what everyone hears is, "I have nothing to back my claim".

So Swazi Spring is a covert Democratic plant?

All becomes clear.

In case you hadn't noticed, thoroughly racist people often believe they know many awful things about other races.

Where did I say that blacks are the reason Obama won?

This election would have been such an easy victory for us Americans. All we had to do is pick a real conservative candidate. But nope, the RNC cared more about appeasing the liberals than they did about winning the election.

They also all seem to have one token black friend as proof they're not racist.

Of course not... But having loads of money to fund a campaign, and being on the payroll of major corporations really does qualify someone for the job of Republican leader. I honestly don't think the average Republican has much say in who runs for office.
And as we've seen Bush jr. do, he did cheat with the votes.
I'm pretty sure both parties are equally guilty of bribery, though.

Since you can't follow your own argument across two posts, I suppose it's not surprising that you can't remember your own primaries, where the party held its collective nose and went with Mitt because the five other "true conservatives" were deemed too disgusting to be elected.

It's always liberals who bring up "race" as if it matters. There shouldn't be "African Americans" or "white Americans" or "Asian Americans." We should all be Americans, and that's it.

Obamas response to the racial attacks


Yes, was just looking for a reason to post this - sue me!

In the image: "This is not an Acting!" that would be funny.

To me, they dont have to resort to racial attacking, they should have run for presidency.

What a rotten world we live in....

[Bryntrollian]

If whites voted for Romney because he is white, then they would be deemed racists.

So the opposite has to be true for blacks.

No thats not how it works

Nowhere, neither did I for that matter. However you are making claims about why black people vote democrat, with nothing to back it up apart from 'this many % voted democrat' which doesn't tell us anything about their motives.

The reason they voted democrat, and the reason they usually vote democrat, is because of the Republican party's current implementation. Adding to that the people in here trying to attack people who are disadvantaged and trying to pass off the problems the black community faces as trivial and not as important as white people problems, all the victim complex crap that's been displayed by the usual suspects on the first page alone. THAT is what's preventing black people from voting Republican.

And your final paragraph further exemplifies what I was getting at. As soon as you lose a demographic or an election, your first reaction is 'Who is to blame for this outside of our party and our politicians/policies' you could really use some self reflection.
