As horrible as this sounds, it doesnt really matter if he's elected or not. Why ? Because some damn whacked out looney tune will wax him before the end of his first year,of that I have no doubt whatsoever.I do not like Obama,but it's damn sad that after all those years after The Kennedy assassination this nation still harbors nutcases.

You could also mention the rift between the English and French speaking in Canada. There will always be some who hate others because they are different somehow. An entire Race or Nationality should not be judged by the actions of a few.

The Fact that you are not even from the United States means that your opinion is useless. Leave US politics to people who live here. Canada has been carried by the US for too long anyways. Go talk about some mounties or something.


Now, this is an attitude I have a problem with. It's purely nationalistic and xenophobic - nothing more can be said about save this. Of course the world and especially Canada and Mexico have opinions about American politics seeing how they are directly affected by our foreign policies, trade policies NAFTA, security policies (Boardergate 2008) - I could go on but you get the picture. Pop the bubble you live in, you need some fresh air.

First of all the War Between the States was not about slavery, but about a state's right to secede from the Union.


I'm also really tired people saying this only when it serves their argument. Not to mention the fact that it's blatantly wrong. The Civil War was about a lot of things including Slavery. Downplaying the role slavery and it's subsequent abolition played in the Civil War is a blatant slap in the face to civil rights activists past, present and future.

That was what I meant to say. You can look at most any country where there are differences and find hatred. It does not have to be race or religion, but language and anything else. The United States is a melting pot and we have much more diversity than most other countries (Russia, China and Brazil also have many different peoples). We have a lot less problems than many other countries. We still have much more to do, but we have come a long way since the 1960s.

Yes. For the first time in a long time, I'm really proud of my country and what it is doing.


Now, without meaning to insult the entire US portion of the membership, I'll just say that the perception of many people outside the US (including myself) is that the United States is an extremely racist and violent (gun loving) place in some areas.


I can understand that perception. Especially recently. Race and the discussions about race are really coming to the forefront. And I'm sure the media coverage of the US is somewhat skewed toward the dramatic and "weird". However, there is some truth to the perception. There certainly is a racial issue in the US and violence exists.


We were in for a History making moment no matter who won the democratic nomination this time around but in my humble opinion we are about to see the United States tested in a way it has not been tested since MLK's assasination.


I agree. The country is sitting on a precipice and we'll either go one way or the other. It's scary but hopeful at the same time.


I have personally noticed an uptick in what I would call "black haters" or racists coming to post on ATS.


So have I.


I fear what could become of ATS if this gets out of control.


That's why I think it's important for the moderation staff to carefully review posts and make sure they're not violating T&C. I'm a bit surprised at what I have seen "allowed" and I wonder why it seems ATS is leaning toward a "free speech zone", letting racial hatred be spewed sometimes.


So I ask the membership (I'm speaking for myself here not the staff), do I have reason to worry?


I think you do, but I've always learned to trust the staff and membership on these kinds of issues. Ignorance doesn't thrive unless we fan the flames.


Am I wrong in thinking that... "the black haters are coming"... "the black haters are coming"... ?


You may not be wrong, but I'm not sure it's anything to worry about.


Will my beloved ATS be a victim in this US election cycle?
.


Absolutely! But it will survive, stronger than ever.

Great thread, Gools.

Wow is your liberal view twisted. You think guns make a person violent? Most lawabiding citizens that own guns will not go and rob a liquor store or hold someone at gunpoint for their money or be involved in drive-by shootings, you know who will? Negroes. 97% of negroes in this country own guns illegally, they are not registered they are want ot be criminal or are criminals already.

You think negroes are in jail because of racism? Wrong, its because they are criminals, they broke the law. Who kills the most if not all negroes in this country? Other negroes and a few latinos. Whitey really doesnt care and want to be left alone, thats why whitey moves out of bad neihborhoods.

You metioned rodney king, did you know he was driving his auto at speeds over 100mph while high on crack, he almost killed a pregnant woman and 4 others, he cost the city and state thousands of dollars in damage. Did he deserve a beatdown...hell yeah he did. He was even beat by other black cops.lol.

You think whitey is oppressing all the other non-whites by keepin them down with crack cocaine, thats funny, i have never oppressed any negroes in my life. You want to know why they as a race have not and will not move forward, its because the vote democrat 100% all the time, where has that gotten them in the last 50 years? Jail and public housing, uneducated, right where the liberals want them.

Well I think it's pretty easy to distinguish between someone who has legitimate issues with his policies and senatorial voting record and those who have other issues.

You mean his voting PRESENT instead of yay or ney. That sounds like a copout loser to me, what a wussy ass way to vote...I AM HERE!
