Its official, We are a minority. This was the last white election

[Himark]

White middle class should take the back seat now. Its official this was the last Presidential election that white middle class had a possible say in.

NOT being racist just a realist.

Compare the electoral map of 2012 to 2008.
Almost identical. Only Indiana and N. Carolina changed.
2008 map http://www.npr.org/news/specials/election2008/2008-election-map.html#/president?view=race08
2012 map http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/main?hpt=elec_flippertkr


Compare the popular vote of 2012 to 2008.
Different results.

2008: Obama 69.4 million and McCain 59.9 million
still counting in 2012: Obama 59.9 million and Romney 57.3 million


I see that Obama has pulled ahead in popular vote 50 to 48.

You are racist, your comment proves it.. Why does middle class have to be white? Your party will have to change their thoughts on women, minorities, same sex couples, healthcare, etc... Just look at their convention... Cant get any whiter than that.. 1950's are over... Being a Republican does not make you a racist... But if you are racist, there is a good chance you are a Republican

The 3 varying degrees toward Racism.

1. Preference--prefering one thing over another is not racist.
2. Predjudice--a dislike of one over another is not racist.
3. Racism--instilling power or oppression of one thing over another IS racist.

The term "racism" has become quite diluted and over used over the years. It's lost it's power because of this.

In the context of an election..."preference vs power" dance on a very thin line.

Ill stop being a republican (racist) when our current leader stops all the hand out with my money. Cut all that crap out of our system, things will change. Stop the same sex marriage, things will change. If everyone could see what Obummer has and wants to do with america, things would change. Republicans are working class! Cut all the special groups giving money to government, things would change. No its not the 1950's any more, but our values as a people have fell on there face, since the 1950's. We need those values as a country to carry on in a way that our forefathers ment it to!! IMO that is what this election was about. nothing more. You will see a big change in our government now, and our country. It will not be what you want.

The welfare, the unemployed, all those people useing these things, was nothing more than a tool for obummer to get there votes. Along with all the other crap he is slinging. He has a bigger picture, and we are not going to like it, if he gets his way. Now with a democratic senate it will be a little easier for him to obtain it.

Hmm I grew up in a black neighborhood in Illinois and live in an area mostly non white.

I don't know your race,political orientation, creed, sexual preference but I do know one thing ... that's how you percieve and treat a person with a different point of view ... with prejudice and stereotypes.

I live in a town where MOST accepted prejudice is from non whites.

Read your message from the WHITE MALE MINORITY point of view and realize just how prejudice it is toward the WHITE MALE MINORITY who get no help but condescending comments like the one above.

Specifically where in his comments make him a person who discriminates against people not the same race, political orientation, creed, sexual preference ?

He never said the middle class is all white.
He never stated his political affiliation.
Nor any other position concerning women, minorities, same sex couples, healthcare.

He just stated white middle class is no longer the major influence and is no longer the majority BUT MIDDLE CLASS WHITES ARE IN FACT A MINORITY.

Not snowmobilers.

This hippie does. Why do you say that? I invite anyone to ride along regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or gender. Where better to be at one with nature than in 5 feet of powder, 30 miles from the nearest man-made structure?

REALLY????????????

HOW IS THAT???????????

 

[skidoorulz]

I made a comment to a fellow worker this morning about all the morons in this country who had their vote bought by Odumbass. She went off. She happened to be one who voted for Odumbass. She said that she admires a man like him who was brought up by a single mother and who had nothing to work his way up to be president. And then she said she had no respect for someone who was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth and was handed everything in his life and all he cared about was running big companies and getting rich. Now mind you we work for an American company that is in every country in the world and employs hundreds of thousands of people. All this time I am thinking you are working for the very system you are voting against. Then she goes on to say that Obama will make everyone in this country rich and Romney only wants to make himself richer. Then, are you ready for this? She says she was proud to vote for him the first time, she voted for him this time and she will vote for him again!!!!!!!!!! I said have you ever heard of term limits? He won't be running again. Response. Really?

And this is one reason this country is in the shape it is in.

The good news is we only have 43 more days left of his presidency. Can anyone tell me why?

End of the world!

You got it! Although I don't believe it will happen. It may be the better alternative.

What an uneducated response, it's about being a minority and imposing your will on others, and expecting entitlements, whether monetary or intrinsic - that's the group that is becoming the majority now. When the europeans had their influx of immigration during the 1900's, those whites were all segregated, germans, irish, italians, etc.,. and were the minorities back then but they came here and left their prior cultures behind and gave themselves American first names, and wanted to work for a better future, not wanting a hand out.

Ok, so I've gotten a couple PMs about my above post. It's been claimed that what I said displays a lack of accountability toward racism.

"denial", if you will.

Here is an analogy:

Preference: Steve prefers the taste of Coke over Pepsi.
Predjudice: Steve dislikes Pepsi or Pepsi drinkers.
Racism: Steve asserts power or control (oppresses) over Pepsi or its consumers to make them inferior.

Argue if you like...(and go research the definitions of the varying degrees of racism)...but what I posted above was taught to me in a class on an Indian college, on a reservation...by 3 strong minded and wonderful Indian ladies with Ph Ds. Of all people, who am I to argue with them?
