How can black people vote for Obama?
As a black person, you're aware that abuse of power and police brutality is more likely to happen to you than any other race...
Yet the majority of black voters support Obama, even though Obama has implemented the NDAA which gives the government the pseudo authority to secretly imprison any US citizen without due process... That means never being charged with a crime, never going to trial, no phone calls to a lawyer, no contact with family, you just disappear... What's more, Obama says he can even have you executed without trial, should you find your name on the "Kill List"...
Now as a black American, aren't you concerned that this type of tyranny could be used disproportionately against black people, be it by Obama or whoever may come next?
(Not that I suggest voting for Flip Romney either, because he also fully endorses the NDAA)
The Question That Makes Most Obama Supporters Nervous and Evasive - http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/1...
Look how quiet things get when the questions get real... People around here love to spew rhetoric back and forth at one another, but when a real question is asked, nobody has the balls to answer... It's pathetic...
@ e
It's understandable for him to have the support of black voters in 2008, but not after 4 years that most closely resemble a continuation of the Bush administration, and especially after he signed the NDAA...
The history of black America is the biggest reason that they should always vote in favor of constitutional freedom, because it's the constitution that protects us all... And if we let the rule of law fall by the wayside, who does history show will likely be the first to suffer, black people...
@ Jeff
What's the alternative? Either vote for someone that believes in liberty, like a Gary Johnson, or just don't vote at all... It doesn't matter if a third-candidate "cant win", a message needs to be sent to the establishment regardless... We need to resist this tyranny NOW!
@ R Standards
Who are you calling a bigot? I have not demonstrated any bigotry whatsoever, and for that matter I didn't see anybody else being a bigot in their responses... Maybe you just dont know the meaning of the word...
Ignorant rant? Again, who are you directing this at?
Do you think I'm making all this up?
Even the liberal lap-dog Rachel Maddow expressed her disgust over the NDAA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNvtKKM902w
@ EVERYBODY
See, this is the type of partisan garbage I'm talking about...
None of you are addressing the topic at hand! (aside from e)
This is a serious question, but nobody seems to be able to give a serious answer... What's the problem, is it too scary to for you all to face the truth? Well, you can either face this issue now on your own terms, or you can wait until it's forced upon you after somebody you know disappears NDAA style...
If you wait until tyranny like this directly affects your life, then you will have waited too long... Not taking things like the NDAA seriously is how tyranny thrives... You think in 1930 that the people of Germany believed that the holocaust was coming? No, they just assumed everything would work itself out, which it did, in the worst way possible... If you have children like I do, then you need to take this very seriously, or your children and mine will be living in an America where secret arrests and executions are commonplace...

If you lived in a society that there was 12 black people to every 1 white person and all the black people were suspicious of you because your skin color and hair was different ...
And then you have groups of people who play on that to their advantage
Groups of peole who rise above it
Groups of people caught up in a different kind of pop culture and don't care either way ..
All these factors playing against them for generations after being made slaves...
If you were in their shoes you might vote just because of race too
I'm not saying it's right.
I think the socialists were brilliant to use an extreme socialist black man to further their cause. Obama has done more to push this country towards accepting communism than Stalin, Lenin or Marx ever did.

What's the alternative? You already noted that Romney would have done the same thing. And people won't consider third-party candidates. So why would you vote for the guy who will continue this abomination AND raise their taxes while giving tax breaks to the wealthy?

For the black people who support Romney, I hope the two of them have a good time. LOL
