First of all, this is not factional or fictional. This is opinionated.

Ok. Some people are racist, we know this. Some people voted for McCain because they did not want a black president.
Well, *ahem* Obama's mother is white. He is bi-racial, and you know, race shouldn't even matter. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER. Yet, it has become a huge part of the whole election.

Some people from before, who did not even give a flying shit about the presidential elections, are suddenly becoming involved. Now, honestly, seriously, what is the MAIN reason for this? Because Obama is black? That could be it. More African-Americans became involved because "someone of their race got past the preliminaries." Same with women and Hillary Clinton. This was most definitely the presidential election that would go down in history forever.

But, I mean, things are getting ridiculous. My friend told me about one of his (I'm not trying to sound racist, but) black college classmates, and him making a remark about whites becoming slaves. "You gonna be my slave, cracka." He was most likely joking, but still. To even make a comment like that.

I mean, seriously, have you not noticed how much the past has carried into the present? Many people are racist because of the past. Some whites use their ancestors as somewhat "idols" saying that they had all power, and some blacks use that same occurrence against whites now.

Honestly, I was for McCain, but that doesn't mean I like hearing trash talk, either. Obama has won, we should all accept it. And instead of thinking of ways he could be assassinated, we should think positively on how we can try to make the United States a better place. Fo sho.

I guess I'm just tired of all of the racist jokes. "Oh, is it because I'm black?" "Yes, it's because you're black."

*EDIT* (11-6-08) I totally DID NOT mean to recommend myself on this blog. I didn't know you could do that, and I pressed the button thinking it wouldn't do anything. Seriously, my bad.

Actually
90% of Obama's votes were of the white race.
And I thought you weren't for either candidate.

I don't hear anyone around here talking about Obama's ethnicity. It's all just "HE WON! YAY! HE WON!"

gah, did you hear about the fight that broke out in fourth block?There was this huge discussion on McCain vs. Obama.
And Matt said something about how Obama sucks, and I asked him why he wanted McCain to win, and he said because he's not black.

BIG MISTAKE. This black guy Brandon just decked him in the jaw. GREAT moment in history (:

Here in argentina things are pretty different. We don't take racism too serious, we take it as a joke. For ex. Ooh Obama the anticrist! Just because he's black. We also hate bolivian, peru, chile, paraguay, uruguay, brasil ecc. people and we make fun of them.
I remember once I was watching tv, and some old man was walking down the streets saying "Oh this bolivian, they invade our country, same as corean". And then suddenly 3 bolivian girls appear, they were trying to put some wood stair ( the one that you use to paint or change lights) and he said "Look...3 bolivians to put a fucking stair....my god..." I must admit I'm racist, who isn't? But in a minor way, not too much I don't live hating people, I don't restrinct them rights, I just take racism like a joke yeah I'm crazy but it's our culture we 're a little bit racist, a little bit...how to say a person who loves her/himself and a little bit mal educados ( someone that says the F word a lot, in our case would be someone that says the M,C,P,H,S ecc word a lot).

About obama
What I heard it's that obama had lunch with terrorists, I don't know if that's true, people didn't want him because of that or something.

Well... believe it or not, over here, racism is a norm.
» Nuttz on 2008-11-06 02:14:53

yes, yes.
McCain, w00t.
But he lost, and I'd rather work with Obama to make the country better than sit back and try and sabotage him because I don't like him very much. So I agree with you.
