Wake me up when a gay black Asian ginger becomes President, legalizes gay marriage nationwide, makes the good stuff legal, fixes the economy, puts the military on a really short leash, and standardizes injections for compassion enhancement.
I'll probably get flamed for that, but watch me care. That's the kind of President I can proudly stand beside.

I know I am with five other races but I'm still black at the end of the day so, regardless what he is, he's still black just like I am.

Originally posted by Renegade2283 I personally know a couple of people who voted for Obama just because he was black, for a fact (they said it out-right). I also know people who voted for Romney just because he wasn't black, (they were racist). Just saying.
So the ones that voted for Obama because hes black arent racist but the ones that voted for Romney because hes white are?
What kind of logic is that?
This is the kind of bs thats making race relations worse.

First off why are we still stuck on having a black president?
Who's stuck on it? 200 years of white male presidents, and your shocked that after 4 years with something other than that, we are talking about it? Hell yes I'm talking about it!! Even if i think they are all working for the same guy and it really doesn't matter, i find it awesome that we finally have a better representation of the people of our country, and what better than a racially mixed president.
Yea, your still having some minor problems with that.
I don't know what thread you were reading...did you read what I said, then think about it??? Did you read any of my comments throughout this thread??
Dont be ignorant all your life just because...."you're not black or gay" and don't understand. Now go back to sleep and sweet dreams.
What's ignorant is your assuming I'm not gay.

Just saying.
Ya, my mother, sister, and brother voted for Romney...not because they stand for anything remotely republican (they are politically nieve)..but because he was of the wrong skin tone.
I questioned them about the stances and issues..such as, do you think a woman should have the right to get an abortion..that sort of thing.
anyhow, they were 100% liberal when asked issues.
So then I asked why Romney? They started out by saying something about businesses..he seemed smarter, or something, when pressed a bit, they all chuckled and started making racial jokes.
That was enough for me to understand their thinking (not like it was a surprise).
[point is, racism lead many low information voters to vote for race...did tons of blacks vote for Obama because he is half black? sure...and it is a wash with tons of moronic whites voting for Romney because he is white.
There needs to be a issues test I think..nothing too deep, just some basic testing to see if your even aware of say, 3 issues going on in the election before being able to vote.
I am thinking the constitution needs some amending...maybe a IQ test or something.

Would people really vote for hillary? I hope not, she didn't do a very good job, I wouldn't trust her to be president.
How does anyone of a liberal standpoint make a vote based on racial bias? I'm a liberal democrat, and I voted for the black dude. Big deal, his skin is darker than mine. I know white people who have less than 15% the heart that Obama has. Your family never should have voted with that level of confusion and unbalanced perspective.

I bet you're saying what's next down the line?, all three of these may happen in the future in the white house or just one all put together?? Dude do you want play some black ops 2 together?? Just let it go.....

Oh dear lord Horus, it was a joke.
It means I think people need to educate themselves on the issues before casting a vote.
Even your joke is filled with condemnation for people who don't agree with your premise.
