seems to me, the democratic party saw a great opportunity to push the limits in this election figuring that republicans would lose flat out. so, they pushed the woman or the black guy. break the american mold and all that, make history, blah blah.
yeah, edwards was one of my favorites. no bullshit “we are the world” nonsense, no family ties bullshit. simple message, clean up the corporate corruption that’s rotting the country.
ron paul too, yeah, fix the “free market” that we supposedly live under. but speaking of uncharismatic, jesus.. ron has the charisma of boiled broccoli.
asian and “hispanic” vote being racist? sure, why not. blacks are the niggers of all other peoples. even their own in america. it’s cultural, black stereotypes (and asian and hispanic) are still predominant in american minds. obama can’t and won’t change that.
and the la riots weren’t that long ago. it’s still in our collective conciousness. you honestly think some asian liquor store owner is going to be smart enough to look past his own prejudices? to be smart enough to consider history or sociological pressures? do you think he’s going to be smart enough to even consider that much of his opportunities were bought by the blood of blacks?
and hispanics… despised by blacks for competing for the same scraps? for coming in cheaper with no demands, no legal status and no standards?
yeah, race baiting happens. asians and mexicans hating on the black guy, whoo hoo. people will wake up to minorities being racist and institutional racism by whites will be given a pass. break out the champagne.
