Well Obama lost in most Southern States despite a huge turnout from blacks.I guess the Usual Rednecks voted against him.

What positions of power are you referring to? If there really were millions of racists in this country, many of them in positions of power, then I think the black unemployment rate would be 25% and there would be even more incarcerated blacks. Most likely according to you anytime a black person is passed over for promotion and a white person gets the promotion that's a sign of racism.

How did you arrive to the conclusion that because 48% of people voted for McCant racism is not over? So if 100% of the people voted for Obama that would mean racism is over? What about the people that didn't vote? Using percentages from the election to say whether or not racism is over is flawed and you know it. There aren't millions of racist people in this country. There are millions of racist people only in black people's imagination, which has fueled their cries for affirm. action handouts

Nothing you said disputes what I said. You are changing subjects because you know you're wrong. (I'll re-post in hopes of you actually STAYING ON THE SUBJECT THAT YOU BROUGHT UP) AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, (remember?) I said, Your logic is flawed. Only 52% of the country voted for Obama, which hardly suggests racism is over. You know very well their are still millions of racist people in this country, many of whom are in positions of power. CAN YOU RESPOND THIS TIME?

I think your logic is flawed. 99% of blacks voted for Obama but they're not racist.. But because only 52% of the population voted for him means that racism is not over. Did you ever think that maybe some voters just didn't like Obama, not because he's black, but just didn't like him as a person?

"And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. "But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, (NAS, Exodus 21:22-24)
