    There are a lot of white people who support Obama -- otherwise he wouldn't be winning the nomination.

    You shouldn't make sweeping generalizations about white people or any other racial group.

    One thing that makes Obama dangerous is that he views “white people” as being one and the same. He does not recognize their diversity, unless, of course, they are supporting him financially and planning to vote for him. He describes his white supporters as those who have “broken free from the shackles of racism.” Obama obviously believes that whites who do not support him are still tied to racist views. They are also described as “ignorant,” “uneducated” and even “dumb.” Obama and his minions do not accept the idea that anyone, whether black or white, can reject his candidacy because he is a socialist who wants to “change” this country into a socialist state. Nope! They’re just plain old racists.

    Notice that when Obama refers to the “typical” white person he describes that person in words that are descriptive of a racist.

    If Obama’s attitude is not dangerous, what is?

    Uh, I have never used the word 'dangerous' except to refer to Bush or to McCain.

    The people who have told you all whites oppose Obama have been lying to you, but just a little grasp of math would have cleared this up for you.

    Blacks make up only about 14% of the US population. If no Whites (over 70% of the US population) had voted for Obama, he wouldn't be ahead.

    How did I, and my mother, brother, and sister get to be "you people"? We all voted for Obama.

    Get a grip.

    Not just whites, but all people who believe that Obama's (and Pelosi's and Reid's and Ron Paul's, etc) foreign policy is dangerous for this country and for the world.

    His proposal to precipitously withdraw from Iraq, regardless of the situation, to honor and legitimize rogue states and terrorists by sitting down and talking with them, sans conditions, is guaranteed to NOT result in a safer or more peaceful world.

    It's his policies and proposals, not his skin color, that are dangerous.

    Stop trying to make it a racial thing - try to get beyond skin color if you possibly can.

    It's not just "white" people. I am biracial. I consider him worse than dangerous; I consider him a puppet of a dangerous political machine. I think they are the ones with the "agenda".

    I am white and I call it disturbing well I guess and dangerous because of his associations with Rev. Wright, The Church, read what the Church believes in (CREEPY) read his book. YIKES!! Then add in Ayers who could be Satan's son. Agenda? Like what? Maybe keeping our children and grandchildren safe. Yes, I guess we do. God Bless.

    Excuse me? I have never said he is dangerous!

    And my issues with him have nothing to do with race at all. I personally think he is a liberal appeaser, and that his policies will not lead to the best results for America, but I also firmly believe that he wants to do what is best for America. I just disagree with him as to what will lead us in the right direction.

    That said, in the event that he is elected, I will certainly give him the respect due to any President of the United States.

    Farrakhan, Wright, Cole, Michelle = DANGEROUS!

    Source(s): Yes, I have an agenda. It is to keep America the greatest country in the history of the planet. That means NOBAMA!

    It could be because of the remembrance of the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" during the heydays of communism, in this case it would be titled "The Muslim Candidate." During the heydays of Muslim news. The message of the 'CHANGE' Obama is promising.

    I read a little racist over tone in your question. Obamas candidacy isn't dangerous to any one other then people that hate people of color.
