Why are so many still racist against Obama?

Question

Obama is the supreme candidate and all of his ideals seem to benifit what the people want.

Mccain on the other hand, is going to drive the country into the dirt. ''Send more troops to iraq, keep them their for 4 years or longer'' ''Find all the illigal immigrants and kick them out, build a giant wall along mexico''.

By the time Mccain steps into office, poverty will be spreading throughout the country.

Answer 1

Because he's black? That would be my guess.  

Answer 2

I for one am tired of everyone trying to put a racist tag on attacks on Obama. The facts show he is not qualified to be president and race has nothing to do with it.  He could not even take a position on the Russian invasion of Georgia until his sting pullers told him what to say. The inability to made decisions was also shown when it took so long for him to throw his buddy Rev Wright under the buss. Get off the race thing and face the realities of life.

Answer 3

Why is anyone who asks tough questions and wants answers considered a racist?

When Ahmadinejad tells the US he is going to bomb Israel, will Obama consider that a personal attack on his race?

Regarding McCain and illegal immigrants - what's wrong with obeying rules? Why can't Mexicans who want to be part of our country stand in line like everyone else?  

Answer 4

it is a american disease.

Answer 5

you claim people are racist against Obama just because they don't like his policy or not voting for him yet you bash Mccain and we should just accept that,what hypocrisy .when did don't like one candidate mean you are racist ?ever heard of the word choice? no doubt who you voting for ,it seems everyone who dont like Obama is a racist ? you people are something else and yet you say his followers are not using the race card .......get this i am black and do not like Obama ,i guess i am a black racist now  eh get a life, and you call him supreme means you worship him like he is a god ,that politrickster is going to have the last laugh on you

Answer 6

I was going to vote for Obama until I found out he will continue the U.S agenda to dominate and control the world

I will vote for Nader

Answer 7

Just a lil note to Cyrus... I'm from WV and I'm not racist.. media has a way to show things the way they want to..

and how anybody could vote republican and survive 4 more years like the 8 that we had with Bush is beyond me!!!!!

Answer 8

Why can't you understand that people don't want Obama as President because he is NOT the supreme candidate... that he is not ready, not qualified, a socialist, and that he does not RESPECT the concepts upon which this country was founded. Heck, he doesn't even respect the country.

None of those things have anything to do with race... but the man. It's SSSSOOOO easy (and lazy) to just write off any criticisms as being racist. That way you don't have to THINK, just react emotionally.

Answer 9

A lot of people just are not ready for change. I think having a black president will be cool. He is also alot smarter then McCain.

That is why Hiliary Clinton one west virgina. Almost every person they interviewed on NBC was racist.

Race is going to be a problem for Obama because many people are ignorant and racist.

Answer 10

Come November we will all know who gets in. A year from then we will know if the right person is the one who won the White House. People go back and forth on this, sometimes I wish people would keep their opinions to themselves, that will never happen. I voted for Clinton, not because she is a woman, but because I like her.She is smart, keeps her head in tight situations. I am afraid of Mccain and do not trust Obama. Like I  said, people don't keep their opinions to them selves, I am one of them too.   Poppy

Answer 11

I wish McCain was for doing something about the illegal immigration problem, but he isn't much better than Obama on that.  I have no problem with the color of Obama's skin, just his politics.

Answer 12

The next time you ask a question, how about getting a clue first.

John McCain was a sponsor of the immigration bill that failed in the US Senate last year.  That bill would have lead to legalizing all the illegal immigrants currently in the country.  Far different than the plan you associate with him in your question.

Obama, "We (Americans) can't go on eating what we want, driving the cars that we want, and keeping our thermostats set at 72 degrees".  Sounds like he's saying we can't do what we want.  70% of the country wants to drill for our own oil supplies.  Obama does not. Seems as though he's more interested in doing what we don't want than what we do.  Perhaps it would be in your interest to listen to what he says, not what the press says that he said.

Obama is a far left candidate.  Regardless of his race, he is a FAR left candidate and because of that he will not be getting my vote.  If he were a white man, he would be just as far left and just as undeserving of my support.  So stop calling everyone who thinks he's bad for America a racist.

Am I a racist because I don't like John McCain either?  Racism cuts both ways.  

Answer 13

Do you even know what you're talking about? Seriously?

Besides-- race has nothing to do with it. B. Hussein Obama is an idiot.  

Answer 14

The only person bringing up the race issue is Obama, and he does it very subtley. (I don't look like the presidents on money.....)

I guess the same question could be asked.....How many are racist FOR Obama?

Like him or not, Obama is a bright guy, and you don't have to like him or dislike him based on his race. Vote for him or against him based on his stance on the issues.

Answer 15

Cause he's playing the race card, but i'm not racist towards him and i hate people like you because it seems like every time i tell someone that i don't support Obama they think i'm racist towards blacks or indonesians or every other thing he is.  Thats also the reason why so many people like him, so that other people don't think their racist. What a joke.

And "absent farmer". What are you talking about.  If Obama wins it will have a HUGE DEAL to do with RACE!

and by the way, i'm not supporting McCain. I don't like either of them.      Go Hillary CLINTON!!

Answer 16

So only racists are against Obama? Typical liberal thinking. You haven't seen poverty until you live under socialism. And Obama has a socialist dream for America. He and the democrats want to tax working people until they all stop working.

Answer 17

Racism (even in the disguised form as that practiced by Mccain and his followers) is the under-achiever and low-thinker's weapon of choice ... and there seem to many, many people in high places who belong to this club ..... bullies can never defend their views and fight their corners fairly - because they know their views and practices are unfair, unjust and against everything a civilised society stands for and believes in .... therefore those who use this weapon against another are effectively saying that they can't compete, feel threatened and undermined by, any other person - especially an achiever ..... Obama is, to my mind, almost a reincarnation of the spirit of Martin Luther King - a man whose forefathers (as many others) were brought to a foreign country, who were ignorant of the language and ways of that country, but who determinedly learnt  through blood sweat and tears how to fit in and succeed in an alien environment - to 'live and love each other'= be they any colour (Melting Pot - Blue Mink - a song still relevant today) and they do it ethically, conscientiously and fairly ... the Mccain's of this world need to be worried because they cannot measure up against such individuals - and they know they can't ...... and so they fight the only way they know how - dirty - by pandering to and fervently seeking the support of  the ignorant masses whose prehistoric mindset first brought slavery to America ..... in their eyes - how can the dog now teach the master to bark?...... Jealousy is a powerful emotion and not one to be underestimated .... Obama doesn't need me to tell him 'know thine enemy better than you know yourself, hold your enemy closer than you hold your closest friend ....'  

Answer 18

Yea, right!!!! Obama will change soooo much...just like that wonderful Democratic congress we've got up there..."Our first 100 days will really be full of change"...AND just like the congress, Obama will do NOTHING but have news conferences and photo opts...You Democrats won't be happy until this great nation is in the toilet...Wake up!

Answer 19

They are closed-minded and ignorant.

Answer 20

Race will have nothing to do with whether Obama wins or loses.

Answer 21

Stop playing the race card.  People have many reasons for not voting for Obama.  He's going to raise the corporate tax rate despite the fact that we've got the second highest in the world and it's already driving away business.  Obama means fewer jobs.  He's not strong on foreign policy.  Did you see how slow and tentative he was in speaking out on Russian aggression in Georgia?  He's also a nanny-state liberal.  Government doesn't know how to run my life better than I do.  

People like you who call all of us who disagree with Obama racist are going to cost him the election.
