Last week, New York absentee ballots were sent out marked “Barack Osama.” The ballots were supposedly printed by mistake. But some Obama supporters are crying racism anyway. They will soon get a lot of practice.
Now comes word that “Barack Osama” t-shirts and sweatshirts are being manufactured in Thailand somewhere just in case Obama wins the election.
Some predict if Obama is elected, there will be racial unrest in the streets unlike any this country has seen since the tumultuous 60s. Brothas will punch out rednecks wearing their Osama t-shirts, and even more black men will end up in jail in the next four years than ever in history.
It’s already starting…
its gonna be some stanky shty who ever wins. i believe the mis-print was on purpose. pricks!!
This whole campaign has been about race, gender and age. We need to restrain ourselves if he wins or not. Some folks like to celebrate a win/loss that turn into riots.
I’m actually at a loss of words … *crickets*
it is racism… plain and simple.
white folks aint no more in love with the “coloreds” than they were 45 yrs ago.
if a white person comes up to me talking funky and sideways and i have to remind him of who he speaking to, i will. im not rich enough, nor are my people educated enough, empowered enough, or respected enough that i can honestly turn away when they disrespecting my people. never let the suit tie car fool you, i can and will knuckle up for a good cause.
I don’t know what to think of this, but since we are LESS than a month left til Nov. 4, THE MEDIA will pull ANYTHING out their ass for attention and people (dumb people at that)will swallow it up and take it because they don’t know no better, or better yet pick up a book or magazine and research their FACTS.That’s probably why I don’t look at the news anymore because they don’t report anything (especially CNN and Fox), but what they want to report.
My dad always said racism isn’t going anywhere so we have to deal with it, and I’m really starting to believe that because this election season has sure brought out the best of everybody?!And I meant best..

I agree that this story is racist BUT you ain’t being asked to sit at the back of the bus anymore. You could drink out of any water fountain you want. You could walk through the front door of any public place that you want.
Do you think a BLACK man would’ve made it this far in the run for presidency if white folks felt the same way about colored people as they did 45 yrs ago?
as usual more madness to take us away from the real issues at hand BUT at the same time racism has never left the building, it just got swept under the rug a bit, you know to appear clean and gone on the surface, but best believe racism has not left.
i agree with hermosa…we no longer are subject to some of things that our grandparents and great grandparents had to endure in order for us to get where we are today. but racism still exists, its just not always in your face as it was back then.
Hey Goat
.. (((hugs)))
There will be racism on both sides black/white whether Obama win or loses although I hope it won’t be this huge race war like some are predicting..But we already know there will be some hostile angry white people sitll living in the 60’s and I’m sure there will be some racial incidents, I just hope nobody will lose their live behind it.
And everyone knows FOX news lies and tells half truths, of course they will continue to spread posion until the election.
Yes the sad part is this ballot went through 3 people for approval and the mistake “wasn’t caught” before being handed to the voters.
the ignorance is unsettling..let it go..it’s backfiring anyway..besides too many WHITE people want Obama..no race war
Glad everything if going good with your mother. Prayer can go where you can’t go and it surely changes things.
^^@ goat
Glad to hear that goat.
Sandra I don’t know how to say this without seeming offensive but after reading this it seems like you are 1 of those????? Time warp Negroes? Is that appropriate? You know those slave mentality types who seem to think we were better off as such. Those who stayed behind to work for massa even after they were given their walking papers because the real world is too scary. Oh no if a Black man wins things just gonez be worster forz us. Let massa run tha kuntry hez knows what hez doin. I could be wrong though but that’s my take on this. Black men gone end up in jail, riots will erupt blah blah blah. We’z free now Sandra, don’t be skurrrred.

If he is elected, and something happens to him (God forbid, an assassination) then yes, the world we see racial unrest here, unseen before…..

What you fail to remember although he is not president yet he has been running for 20+months. He blends in with the ppl. By that I mean he loves to hold the babies and shake the hands of the ppl no matter how White or Hick the town. Don’t think there are not security and snipers(on his side) looking out for him. The government, not just our cities has just as much to lose if anthing happened to this man.
Hey Anna,
I am aware that he is not President yet…are you aware that he is the first Presidential Candidate in US History to receive a Secret Service detail, BEFORE receiving the nomination?
Look, I’m not saying that Obama has a bull’s eye on his forehead…All I’m saying is that with the looneys and the psychos that exist out here today, along with this man about to further write another page in US history, that the possibility exists…..

you need to travel with me, because there are some white folks out here who are terrible. they dont mind you sitting in the back of the bus or drinking from a different water fountain.
you know, i dont hate white folks, i know alot of white folks, dealt with them all my life. some of my closes friends are white people. lol
they aren’t the ones working on farms and cars. they are in board rooms and high rise offices. they call you n-words behind your back and have private meeting you are not invited too. you know my boy in ms said that every time they hire a new black person the running joke is they got a new slave. so dont tell me we have over come already. i want believe it till nov 5th, just because they say they are going to vote doesnt mean they will vote for obama.
I heard about the secret service. While running ,a candidate is allowed the use of secret service but only at a certain point. This campaign started so early that Obama had is own (probably) from the beginning.
I am a Georgia resident currently leaving in Gwinnett County, which is on the outskirts of ATL. My Obama-Biden sign mysteriously “disappeared” from my yard today. It hasn’t even been up for a week. But anyway does anyone know where I can get another sign that won’t take 1-2 weeks????
