Why is the race card being pull yet again with concerns to Obama?
I ask this because I have seen some pretty (baseless) claims. E.g., http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aq1pPZQGQr0sxll_kxTrZbHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120612180156AA5UaxI ., Not only has this person made a generalization, one of the dumbest thing anyone can do (Christians, Atheists, &c., come in all races)., but they lack any statistical information to back up their claim.
For instance (According to CNN http://thesocietypages.org/colorline/2008/11/06/14-exit-poll-statistics-about-obama%E2%80%99s-victory/ ):
⁍ Obama received 49% of all the male votes (vs. 48% for McCain) and 56% of the female votes (vs. 43% for McCain). But once you break it down by race, Obama only received 41% of the White male vote (vs. 57% for McCain) and 46% of the White female vote (vs. 53% for McCain).
If it was a Racism issue, the numbers would have been much lower.
⁍ 54% of Catholics voted for Obama (vs. 45% for McCain), although among White Catholics, 47% voted for Obama while 52% for McCain.
This one surprised me as his ethics are contrary to that of Christian ethics.
I personally didn't vote for him, simply because I didn't agree with any of his policies, and I still don't agree with his policies. Yet you have dumbasses who make such ridiculous claims.
I mean Obama has made some pretty racist remarks e.g., Y!A post http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080301071238AAWthOe and yet I don't hear many minorities saying anything. I say many, because I have heard few African American conservatives speak out about it.
At any rate, I find the whole racists bullshit to be getting old and people need to grow the hell up. Their are racist people within all ethnic demographies, though most seem to single out only one ethnic group.
@Shelly that is a very good point.
