If you vote for Romney, you are a racist.

[desert dude]

Slate logic: If you are a white male, you are not "normal".

Slate journalists' support for Obama is 83%, i.e. "normal".

This article is not satire, it is meant as a reasoned piece of analysis. The bubble the left lives in is just unbelievable.

"I'm voting for Barack Obama on Election Day. This fact will appear on Slate's list of which candidates its writers are voting for, a list which will almost certainly look like the 2008 list, which is to say an almost unbroken string of "Obama." People will look at this list—Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama—and they will say, Look at the Slate writers, inside their bubble.

And they will be wrong. There is a real, airtight bubble in this election, but it's not Obama's. As a middle-aged white man, in fact, I'm breaching it. White people—white men in particular—are for Mitt Romney. White men are supporting Mitt Romney to the exclusion of logic or common sense, in defiance of normal Americans. Without this narrow, tribal appeal, Romney's candidacy would simply not be viable. Most kinds of Americans see no reason to vote for him."

nobody is insinuating this, just that there seems to be more color in a democratic convention.

of course some people will vote the other way just because he's a black man, its why black people go 95%+ with obama.


very few white people can admit(in person) they wont vote for obama because he's black. many black people on the other hand make it obvious to vote for him because he's black. black people have been voting for white folk since they got the right to vote, its funny to hear conservatives bitch about it working in their favor for once.

Ninety five percent is a pretty large percentage of any group of people. It is hard to believe that 95% of any group of people approve of the job that Obama has done.

1 black president 43 white president

3-4 atheist presidents- 37+ christian presidents.

just some interesting things about democracy is, most people are idiots and that rings especially true in the usa.

black people think they have an inside man finally. that's the only logical conclusion i can come to as to why such an overwelming number support him, its like the Catholics and Kennedy.

Has nothing to do with him being qualified or the trash that the GOP are putting up ??? Mccain/Palin or Romney/Biden will make anyone vote for the other team. If "Blacks" only voting for Obama because he black... then Jessie Jackson would have had a better showing when he ran.

At the end of the day everyone and their grandmother knows Romney is a liar and will say whatever needs to be said just to win. Anyone with some form of intelligence knows that Romney has no business in office, the man couldnt even run his own state correctly with finances how in the hell is he suppose to fix a COUNTRYS debt?

Come on people enough with the bullshit, this is the same shit when McCain was running for president all kinds of bullshit flying in the air. These days if your republican your either ignorant and got it from your parents, or ignorant and got it from your parents.

Nah, I am not really upset. I just like to post hypocritical idiocy for all to see when I find it. As far as who controls my life, you are right, it's me.

An inside man? Why people would vote for him? ARE YOU PEOPLE ON THESE FORUMS SERIOUS? This is not really happening im not really reading this, look let me tell you something buddy, your a racist, straight up, YOU GOTTA BE. Im not even going to argue back and forth and waste my typing energy, because at the end of the day you and I both know your racist my friend.

You can play the "I dont know duh duh duh about Romneys lies" bullshit like the rest of his voters, but if most of America is voting for this man (Obama), then maybe you should check YOURSELF in the mirror and ask "Whats wrong with ME?"

negroes only make up 11% of the US population. you cant win shit on the black vote alone, and thats all jesse jackson had. same for sharpton. they are both intensely popular in the urban plantation, but they have zero support among whitey, chicanos, asians, or blacks who despise them and their racebaiting politics and shenanigans (tawana brawley anyone?)

obama scored big whith liberals of all stripes, being black just helped push him over the top with voters who normally stay home, they wanted to be part of history.

but then so did the brownshirts, and robespierre.

obama's vanilla message of Hope and Change didnt offend anyone, and he stayed nebulous enough that he could reasonably be considered to hold EVERY position on the left, while being nailed down to almost none of them.

he played the moderate game like a pro and wooed a shitload of chuckleheads who would otherwise have never voted for him based on his policies by promising everything and nothing at the same time. had he campaigned like he presidents, his campaign would have scraped the reef and gone to the bottom quicker than shit, and we would have a president Palin really fucking things up after mccain's inevitable heart attack or sex scandal.

Back in 08 i was told(being white I am) that if I didn't vote for Obama that I was racist. Because, "no one ever, gives the black man a chance" NOW if I vote for the white man I'm still racist??? I got an idea, I'll do exactly what I did in 08... I won't vote

wtf are you going on about?

 

[Omgwtfbbq Indicaman]

proving you aren't racist is one of he most inane activities brought on by political correctness.

 

[WeedPublican]

Its just amazing to me how a man can flip flop on everything he says, everyone knows about it, and he still gets votes? Tell me how in the hell does that make any sense? Am I the only crazy person here?

 

[billybob420]

For real. I'm pretty racist.

Can't stand whites.

Or blacks really.

People in general kind of suck.

Don't get me started on those "holier than thou" American Indians.

smells like persecutedwhitemaleitis in here.

majority of my friends are either Black, White or jewish. thats the demographics for my county in NY, not a matter of deliberate selection based on race, and since its NY you can get either the preppy black kids or the hoodrat black kids within the same 2 block radius, same is true for the wanna-be thug whites and leave it to beavers. don't get me started on the tribes of jews who live in my area.

I think people need to learn the difference between a bigot and a racist.
