How come white people have such a problem with Obama?

Question

I don't understand why certain people don't want to vote for Obama just b/c he is black. Do you people realize how IGNORANT and STUPID and DUMB you are being in this situation? Comments please.

Answer 1

the same reason black people don't like white people,  it's called racism

Answer 2

Because these white people are racist and Obama is definitely a non-white person.

Answer 3

Obama is not going to lose this election because he is black but because he is an inexperienced candidate. He has no experience in Business, no experience in the military and less than 2 years experience in the Senate. He has terrible judgment in the people he calls "friends" whether it's Rev Wright, an America hater, Bill Ayers an unrepentant radical and former fugitive who was a would-be murderer of soldiers and policemen and once tried to plants bombs in the pentagon and Tony Rezko who was just convicted of influence-peddling.

He completely opposed the surge in Iraq and when it was revealed that it worked wouldn't admit he was wrong and even said he would oppose it again today. Without the national media's unseemly cheer-leading for him he would be just another ordinary junior Senator with with no record to speak of. He continues to support an abortion policy that has resulted in the the deaths of millions of black babies (and others)and treats abortion as just another political abstraction with no horror behind its figures.

Even some Democrats admit that without his media cheerleaders Hillary would be the nominee.

Answer 4

I'm not racist at all, and no I don't like Obama, but it's not bc he is black. It's for several other reasons.

For one, he's trying to be the leader of the countr, yet when they sing the National Anthem or say the Pledge of Allegiance, he turns his back and refuses to put his hand over his heart. How can you be president when you cant do that. (I know he CLAIMS, it's bc he doesn't agree with the line "bombs bursting in air," but still, it's ridiculus.

Another reason, is just because he is pro-choice for abortion, and I am pro-life. I think abortion should be illegal and people should be charged with murder for doing so.

Another thing that gets me, he wants to change or National Anthem, to 'I Want To Teach the World to Dance'.

Answer 5

Let me start this off with the fact that unfortunately I will be voting for McCain. personally I do not like him, but I think he is the lesser of the two evils.

Taking the fact out of the equation that I disagree with just about all of his views, Obama simply does not have the experience to be president.  What I think is "ignorant and stupid and dumb" is the fact that just about any white person who goes against Obama is instantly labeled as a racist. Anyone voting or not voting for someone because of the one myopic point as the color of their skin in my mind is a looser. In my mind the race card has been brought up in this election by people who want Obama to win, and have no platform to stand on to say why. Instead of jumping on the soapbox and telling us of his achievements and accolades,  and why this man deserves to be  president, they only thing that some have in their arsenal is blasting the other side for not voting for him, making up bogus reasons and throwing derogatory terms around. Don't get mad at the people on the right for not voting for him, get mad at the DNC for not coming up with a more qualified candidate to run for president.    

Answer 6

I don't have a problem with him and I'm white.  I'm actually going to be voting for him.  It sounds like you have some anger issues with white people.  I'm sure they are are black people who don't like someone because they are white and white people who don't like someone because there asian.......  People are people.  There are a lot of ignorant people and you posting a question like this makes you seem like you are one of them.

Answer 7

Dear racist, I have nothing against him being black. My problem is he is a liberal Democrat that selected an anti-gun socialist as his running mate. He can be as black as he wants for all I care.

See the shoe is on the other foot for calling all of us who won't vote for him stupid and racists. YOU are the one playing the race card. Trying to intimidate us because O'Bama is black.

Answer 8

you answered your own question, because he's black.

Answer 9

Some, not a majority are racist, and nothing will change them or their views.

Most people have learned tolerance for others, regardless of race or color.

We have come a long way since the 1950s, but still have a long way to go.

Answer 10

"You may say now that you are aware that not all white people think that way, but your question and statement form the start sure as h**l read that way." And I don't think you can claim thats just how people interpret it, because it is pretty Blatent. I am assuming something myself now. I assume that you really do think that way, but since myself and others called you on it, the only other choice you have is to make a statement trying to rebut what you originally said.

  



Well not all White people or people of other races colors, creed, religions, or s*x have problems with Obama because he is black.

The fact that you assume all white people have a problem with him because of the color of his skin is prejudice, stereotyping , "Ignorant, Stupid, and Dumb.

Now I am not voting for Obama for many reasons. The color of his skin is not any of them. Nor is the religion he belongs to (which ever one it is), or anything else that has to do with Ethnicity.

I am not voting for Obama because he is beyond Unqualified.  4 years as a Senator does not qualify him for running the most powerful nation in the world. He cannot think on his feet, he knows very little about our military, our defense systems, how to deal with terrorists and nations that want to destroy us. (He wants to sit down and talk with people that blatantly speak about the United States Ultimate Destruction and wiping Israel off the map.)  

He has no leadership qualities, has served on very few boards. What's really racist and is a very sad thing, is that the only reason he beat Hilliary in the primaries is because he is black. How bad is it when the Liberals promote a man  and try to destroy on of they're own , because they feel he stands a better chance of getting elected because the color of his skin.

And I do not care how many Liberals attack me because I said that, but it's true. I cannot stand Hillary Clinton, but I even admit she would be a better candidate for President than he would. She has been in the game longer, been in the White House, knows how the system works better, served on many many more comities than Obama has, yet she didn't make it. Hmmmmmmmm Sounds a little suspicious to me.

There are many many more reasons why Obama should not be the President and will not get my vote, but none of them are due to prejudice, color, creed, religion, or s*x.

So maybe you should wake up and understand that not all "White People" as you put it, are that way.

I personally wanted Giuliani to run for president, and have either Pataki or Lieberman as his VP. Now I am going to vote for McCain because he is the best out of the major candidates running. He posses almost all of the qualities that a president needs. He sure as h**l has a lot more experience and is more trustworthy than Obama.

h**l the man claimed he would rely on his Mother, Wife and Grand Mother for advice in matters dealing with the well being and safety of the United States. Are you serious! That's just another example of the fact that Obama is nowheres ready to lead a country.

Answer 11

they think he is not black enough.

Answer 12

The reasons I dislike him have nothing to do with him being black.   He refuses to say the pledge of allegiance, and yet wants to be in charge of the country?  He claimed to never have been muslim, yet he attended a muslim school.  His "spiritual leader" says "God d*mn" America".  The list goes on from there.

Answer 13

i don't speak for any one but myself,his color is not the issue or problem for me.

i wanted Jesse Jackson for President many years ago.i felt he was the right man for the job,he was well spoken,intelligent and EXPERIENCED in matters of foreign policy.

the problem was his friendship with radical muslims  (FARRAH KHAN ,among others) who supported violence against whites as some sort of justice they felt entitled to because their ancestors had been slaves.

horrible as that is ,they were not, nor had they been subjected to slavery.so that was just a bunch of garbage.honestly slavery occurred to many people over time. no one else thinks the world owes them a life because their ancestors were slaves??/

no one else tells other countries to apologize or make reparations except the United States of America!!!! WHAT A JOKE!

that said if Jesse Jackson did not have these radical associates he would have been the first black President of the United States.

EVEN IF OBAMA WERE ELECTED HE IS STILL ONLY BI RACIAL HE IS NOT TRULY BLACK,WHY DO PEOPLE CONVENIENTLY FORGET THIS??

IF BEING A COLOR IS WHY YOU ARE VOTING THEN YOU HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN AN ELECTION WILL CHANGE!! good luck,sorry about the caps!
