" A nigg*r in the white house" ?

That's the title of a very well written blog I found on line when reading up
on the U.S. presidential campgain. I have added the text below with some video clips I have stumbled across.

It could also be called ...

‘A person with a lot of melanin pigment in the skin in the Colorless House’

Like most, I have been keeping a close eye on the daily web updates on the U.S. presidential race. It has turned into a stomach churning racial war… almost.

Confirming the hate is the hundreds of thousands of cowardly anonymous “You-tube” comment’s on hundreds of videos clips involving Obama.

This is one of the best blog post’s I’ve read on the “ Race - Race “

I robbed some video’s from Ricks blog … why thank you !




"The other day I went down to the little local store here to pick up some milk and bread. While waiting at the counter to check out I heard a few of the people in there talking about the election. Right off it was apparent that the owner of the store was a Republican and that she was 100% behind McCain. Her first remark was : “It seems to me that it’s always the Democrats that get us into jams, then the Republicans are the ones that come and get us back out of them”.

Ok, so she has been living in a cave for the past eight years and hasn’t seen the damage done by the Bush administration. I guess I can forgive her for that.

The next comment came from a lady that was a Democrat and didn’t like Bush at all, but I’m not so sure I can forgive her remark. What she said was: “I was all for Hillary to win the nomination, but now that Obama has won the primaries and will be the nominee I’ll be voting for McCain, he seems to be honest and at least he’s not a nigger”.



Not a nigger. Now there’s something I’d never thought of before. Let’s elect a president based on his color not his qualifications. She then went on to say that she had seen what happens when niggers become the majority somewhere and she didn’t like it.

Another person in there just happened to be a mailman and he was an Obama supporter. But again, his choice was based on his dislike for Bush, McCain and the Republican Party, and even more importantly, his belief that women had no place in politics.

Why not? If we can base our choices on color, why not also base our choices on sex?



Actually, I sorta did the same thing myself. I was behind Hillary all the way for this election, and part of my reason for backing her was sex. We’ve all seen the damage that men can do. Men tend to be power hungry with a need to prove they are better and stronger than everyone else, women don’t seem to have those needs so I supported Hillary on the hopes that perhaps a woman would be more responsible and base her decisions on the country’s needs and not her own quest for power.

Well, she didn’t make it and because she didn’t make it I am starting to see and hear about thousands of voters who supported Hillary and are now changing over to vote for McCain because they don’t want a black man in the White House. Many say they will vote Republican even if Obama chooses her as his running mate just because they don’t want a black president.



Despite the giant lead that the Democrats have held over the Republicans in the popular votes lately I am now starting to be concerned that maybe we will end up with McCain as our new president and we will continue down the path that we have been put on by the Bush administration. Quite frankly, that scares the hell out of me.

Don’t you think it’s about time we do away with petty concerns like race and start paying attention to what would be best for our country, not what would satisfy our own bigoted misconceptions of people based on race, sex or religion? I was backing Hillary in the primaries, but now that she has dropped out I will support Obama just as strongly as I have Hillary. I have another site that I have been using for the past several months for posting articles on science and a couple other subjects. I am now going to change the purpose of that site in order to push the envelope for Obama to as many people as I can possibly reach. We have a choice to make here and it’s a choice that will affect all Americans. Let’s not blow it by letting a man’s color influence our decisions. Do we want to see changes made in this country, or do we want to continue on the path set for us by the Bush/Cheney team? The answer to that question is obvious, too bad so many of us are too colorblinded to see it.

A nigger in the White House?

It could just possibly be the best thing this country has had in a very long time. When I look at him, I don’t see a nigger, I see a man, a man who could get us all pointed back in the right direction, don’t let his color prevent us from having that opportunity".

Hi, thanks for the compliments on my blog, however I do think it would have been nicer if you had gotten my permission before reprinting it, or at least give credit to the author and linked to the original as I do own the copyrights on all of my posts in all three of my sites.
Anyway, I'm not mad or anything, in fact I appreciate any chance for spreading the word to more people (in this case the word would be "stop with the bigotry), it's just that if there are going to be complete repostings of my blogs running around the internet I'd like to know about them.
TAke care and have a great weekend
