  1. Hmmm....Well to the topic, I would say he's black b/c his skin tone is black.
    So...you judge a book by its cover - and disregard his white heritage to boot. Nice.

    Another thing is that Obama will be a high risk President due to this reason alone. He will encounter more assasination attempts on him compared to his predecessor.
    No there's a pretty racist assertion. "White people can't stand a black president, so they will try to kill him". Nice.

    Frankly, I think it's racist to assume that because someone doesn't fit your stereotyped view of "black" that he's automatically white.

    I never said he was automatically white - or even white at all. Go back and look at the OP. I asked that given heritage, isn't it just as accurate to call him white as it is black?

  3. Obama is half-white. His father, who was black, abandoned him and his mother when he was about two years old. He lived with his white mother and white grandparents. This being the case, if he is half black and half white - isn't it just as accurate to call his a white president as it is to call him a black president?

  4. It's just wrong to give a concession speech while polls are STILL OPEN - especially when you use the phrase, "the American people have spoken". No, only SOME of them have spoken - others are still out voting.

    He could have at least had the decency to wait until ALL of the polls have closed.

  5. Right now there's no fvcking way McCain can win any of the west coast states on top of Hawaii.
    I bet he wins Alaska.

    That's great. You guys don't count. ;)

    Yes, I know - one reason why we should secede.

    You ready to welcome back Sarah Palin?
    No. I think she should become a special aide to McCain or something and stay in DC.
  6. Around here - I know it will always take 5-10 minutes to vote, no matter what. It's just the nature of the place. The polling location is also 5 minutes or less from my house - so it's no big deal all the way around. But if I thought had to wait in line more than 20 minutes, I would definitely remote vote.

  7. So all they have to do is reverse the question and you will end up voting for them.
    No, I still vote against the initiative, no matter what it says.

    Which they have already done - if you're *against* Proposition 8, you're *for* gay marriage. :lol:
    I don't care about gay marriage one way or the other. Make it legal. Make it illegal. Makes no difference to me.
