Obama Drama? - Comments

First and formost, this was a well-rounded, well written article.

It mentioned some of the issues that others are afraid to discuss and brought up one of the biggest concerns in not just my school, but others school from all over the nation.

Seriously. In my school, there are far more blacks than whites- since it's a district school and all, there are many kids with many different races. Now, I have no hard feelings towards people of color, nor am I racist. I'm actually the polar opposite. Though, one thing I've been noticing is when it comes to Obama- blacks dominate over everyone else if they don't have the same views as them. I remember a few days after Election Day- there were more reported fights than any other day in the school. And that's saying, a lot- because usually there is at least two or so fights per day. It was seriously ridiculous.

And the unfortunate part is most of those fights were caused by blacks getting all defensive because a white female/males didn't favor Obama. The other sad but true fact of the matter is- the black domination in our school only favored Obama because he is black. That's the only reason. And to me, that's not a good reason to vote for someone who's going to be running our country pretty soon.

And I can't help but think that's the only reason why Obama had won, simply because he is black.

People at my school had the nerve to say i was racist because i didn't want Obama to be president. They wanted him to be president just because he is black. Honestly i think kids today need to be taught that racism isn't just being mean to one other ethicity but also favoriting them because of their ethnicity too.

I'm black and I'm disappointed in my own race. It's such a double standard. We cry to be treated like dignity, which we deserve, and yet we trample over other people's rights to living in peace? It's sad. I can't believe anyone would even think of this as a proper outlet for their opinions.

Great article. I personally am a big Obama fan, but I have a lot of respect for McCain. One particular thing I will never forget is how on election night, when McCain supporters in his crowd were booing when Obama won, McCain put his hands up and stopped them. Even though McCain was probably very upset that he lost, he showed admirable respect for Obama. If McCain can do this, then Obama fans should be able to do the same to him and respect other people's opinions.

I think Obama would be disappointed if he knew about this, and I hope he finds out too.

Racism in our country just needs to stop. Whatever problems ethnic groups have with each other just needs to be let go, because we can't continue to live like this. We've got problems going on that're going to take some unity to get solved, and all this fighting won't help any of them.

That's fucked up.

It's one thing to disagree on who would be the better candidate, but actually beating a person up over it?

Teenagers are huge shitheads these days. (Yeah, I'm a teenager myself. We all know this very well.)

There were a couple spelling and grammar errors in my last comment. Sorry.

Obama said a minister was a source of inspiration for him. This was the same minister who was all for "black power." In so many words, he said he wanted to kill all white people. The man was very outspoken in his beliefs. Obama denied ever knowing about this man's opinions about the topic when it was brought into national media. That's all I'm going to say about Obama.

I liked this article. It awknowledged many things that aren't talken about too often. In our culture, it is assumed and accepted that only people of a minority can be discriminate against. This is why when reverse racism happens so often. It is not as widely recognized as a hate crime, so it continues to go on.

Obama is a democrat. I thought democrats were supposed to be in favor of freedom of speech and differing opinions. I thought democrats were supposed to repect that other people had differing opiinons (For clarification purposes, I'm not accusing of Obama of anything in this paragraph. I'm talking about the people in the group mentioned in this article.). It shows how dumb people are. It's sad that people fought for the right to freedom of speech, and now people are being punished for exercising that right.

Wow. That is incredibly stupid. There is a thing called Freedom of Speech people. I do not believe in Racism at ALL. Why can't everyone move on? Geez. Thank you for posting this it was great.

That's so fucked up...

Reverse racism is more common than people would think...
