Are we a nation of racists? ?

Obama thinks so. I noticed on a morning talk show that Obama thinks the only reason he is not up in huge amounts over McCain in the polls is because we are a nation of racists. Do you agree, are we a nation of racists?

Update:

He sent his "people" to the M&J Show this morning to proclaim that fact. That is also how he accused Clinton of being racist, he sent his people out to do it so he could claim he is not responsible. Of course the memo he wrote about it proves otherwise. I'm sure they will say the same thing on other talk shows.

    No, we are proud Americans, who will not stand for someone that hates America. If he thinks the polls looks bad now, wait until November. Half of the people that say they will vote for him, will either not show up, of vote for John McCain. The proof is in the pudding, and John McCain will be victories. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

    Yes. When people come on here and claim Obama is gay, a racist, a terrorist, a muslim, a socialist, a member of the black panther party, and anti american as the reason why they won't vote for him, and you know any reasonable person would know all of those are lies, then what other conclusion can you come up with but the fact they're racist.

    Here is a current question from a yahoo answers user:

    If Obama were to get elected, ?

    Would he just make sure no one can say anything bad about him? Secret Service for Obama. Will laws need to be passed to make sure no one insults him? How about the Muslims? Africans(not American)? Iranians? Will terrorist get special rights? Will antisemitic groups get government funding?

    No, though racism does exist in the USA. And we are learning where it is being taught. I can only hope that Black Liberation Theology is not the norm. ANd along with that we must stop being hyphenated Americans.

    "There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. ... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else."

    Theodore Roosevelt

    "Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready."

    Woodrow Wilson

    If your white you have more chances because yall had a head start in this country.True white people are voting for obama but lets keep it funky some wont becuz of there pride.And for all of those who say there is no racism go one youtube and see how many times someone says the "n "word behind closed doors! a whooooooooole lot, that makes ya think. But if you flip the script black people don't go to a white person's web page and say racist things. to tell you the truth gay people are getting more respect than blacks because you will get banned from a site if you even atempt to talk down on them. I'm tired of people who compare black rights to gay rights wtf!!!!! I'm a human not a freak!! all I did was be born!

    I think that's stupid. Pulling the whole if you don't vote for me your racist. Really, just because we don't vote for him doesn't me we are racist it means we just like McCain better! If hes able to say that then i'm saying who ever doesn't vote for McCain is racist against white people. See that wouldn't make sense right? *sigh* Don't' get me wrong Obama is not a bad guy, actually hes a very nice and kind man but for me he won't make a good president. But we all have our own opinion right? Besides, i'm not old enough to vote yet. Close though! Ha ha well this is what I think.

    I believe America has a lot of racism. I was listening to BBC they talked about racism in America that might cause Obama to lose in election, they said something like many white people will not vote for Obama because he is black

    Yes, what a bunch of liars on here. I try very very hard to quell any racism that might be in me. I'm sad to say occasionaly it comes out, and I live in a very diverse neighborhood (white, black, asiain, latin etc). I have friends of all races, yet still.......Every person of every race and religion in this country is a racist to some degree. Anyone who denies this are lying to themselves and you.

    Obama did not say we're a nation of racists.

  • 1 decade ago

    maybe maybe not BUT. after obama started to run for president the KKK grew ENORMOUS amounts. and even an attempt on his life occurred. one of the leaders of the KKK also publicly said Obama will get assassinated. FULL of racists? no. a LOT of racists? yes. oh. and i never heard of him saying that
