if you voted for obama then you are a racist

Whether whites are poor or hard done to is irrelevant because I don't recall people who are white claiming that "the white man keeps them down". The base fallacy that blacks cannot succeed because they are black is however, roundly disproved. They quite obviously can. At various points most races and groups will suffer a disadvantage because of colour or creed. Most races also overcome that. Black Americans have succeeded in overcoming that problem. This cannot be debated, because it is self-evident. It matters not where the man grew up, or who he knew, because the basic complaint is that the white man keeps the black man from success.

To who started this awefully pointless thread: You don't even know what "racist" means. All it means is that you love your race nothing more nothing less. It doesn't have to mean you hate other races just for being different.
Yes, Africa has black presidents. It's been a black continent for as long as there have been people. There is no reason for it to change. It's liberal scum like you who don't understand this, and f**k up peoples cultures because they aren't "diversified" enough for your liking. They weren't meant to intervene, all it does is dissolve it's identity/originality, and create conflict between the people.

That's the opposite of the traditional definition of the term "racist" or "racism". Racism traditionally follows the same pattern as sexism (the belief that other genders are inferior).

Nice try, v0lume, but you don't get to rewrite the dictionary to justify racist beliefs.

It's not necessarily racist to vote for (or against) someone because of their race. If you are a member of the same race, then that candidate is more likely to represent your own views. There is a difference between a preference and a racist. Most people seek partners of their own race, that's not racist, that's preference. Is it also racist to have black people running the NAACP? No, those are the people that know the most about black issues.

That is not so, I am saying that to expect the election of Obama to suddenly fill the underclass with such hope they suddenly throw of the shackles that have been binding them is naive at best, unless comprehensive assistance is given right now to utilize and guide this hope, then it will become a false hope.

I couldn't agree more, this discussion started with Fnord suggesting that blacks now had no excuse to blame their race for disadvantage; so that is what I was debating. As I said earlier it is not so much a race issue as a class issue and I believe that blacks to a point have mistaken it as a race issue

Well, if your so right then what word should I use for my description of what it means to me?

I'm not trying to justify anything, I don't believe there is a superior race, nor do I believe a black person should be hated just for being black. It's what that person does that can cause me to dislike them. I just love my race, and I will never have children from my genes because of that. Nor would I be happy about something that would cause the identity of my people or eastern lands to become unstable.

Do you know the meaning of "hyperbole"?

If you're voting for a politician who will influence the lives of all people in the region irrespective of their race, then yes, voting on the basis of their race because you expect them to be partial to you as a result of having similar interests due to racial cohesion, then yes, that's racist not just a preference. It's racist because instead of taking a look at the specific issues and deciding which you feel are most important to everyone and how the majority of people will be affected (positively or negatively by the candidate's actions, you've instead chosen to go with "issues of importance to my race are the only ones that matter, everyone else can kiss off". This is not comparable to heading the NAACP, which absolutely should be headed up by black people, because that organization serves the black community specifically. That's not true of political offices, particularly high political offices like the presidency - they affect everyone.

I think the term you would be looking for is "ethnic pride".

Thanks! I like that a lot
Before all I was saying that if there was a single word to describe it, it would be racist.. But I shouldn't use "racist" because of the dictionary definition lol. Ethnic pride is much better and makes more sense.

v0lume it already is "unstable", sorry to break it to you. Ethic classification has long been debunked. You are a mongrel like everone else.

Welcome.

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. The ENTIRE election was about black people voting for "their" guy.

Oh but I do the same thing and I'm "ignorant".

The rest of you white people are either:

1. just plain dumb and don't realize you are being racially attacked. 90% of blacks DID NOT vote for mcain because hes WHITE.
THAT'S CALLED RACISM

2. are scared of black people

I don't get it but I'm sick of all the racism to white people, it's no wonder people join the KKK it's called self defense.

Also i sure as hell didnt vote for mccain or obama i dont like either one. I said that to make a point.
