So just what scary stuff do racists think a black president would do?

[undeterred]

I mean, really? Establish separate drinking fountains?

[AspenRose]

1. Enslave white people, for starters

[SoonerPride]

9. Why do that? Everyone knows white people are lazy.

Hell, we won't pick lettuce for $50 an hour.

[hay rick]

84. $50/hr lettuce picking jobs.

Get'em here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWOZKeOauNI

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. All the white people would lose their jobs and be replaced with black people,

all of whom would be on welfare even though they took the white people's jobs.

[NC_Nurse]

3. Reparations? Affirmative Action on steroids? God only knows...

[MaryEllen9399]

4. one I heard from the woman that cleans my moms house

that Al,Jesse, and Louis will take over.

[undeterred]

14. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Armstrong?

I've never heard Obama mention them. :rofl:

[elkston]

20. Louis Farrakhan. But I suppose you knew that, right? :)

[undeterred]

25. I should have. I used to live down the street from him.

I would NEVER associate Obama with LF. I lived in Hyde Park for 19 years. Spent 1 year in Kenwood a block away from Farrakhan's "compound". He was a paranoid guy who used to have his security detail sit in cars with their lights off on the Lake Shore Drive exits. During that year I lived next door to Muhammad Ali, met him once. Very nice guy, everybody loved him.

[yardwork]

38. Somehow I don't think that Farrakhan agrees with most of the Democratic platform.

I think that Farrakhan followers probably represent the 8% of black people who still vote Republican.

[Bake]

59. Louis Armstrong for Secretary of Jazz!

:rofl:

Bake

[WCGreen]

72. "What a wonderful world that would be....."

[yardwork]

37. I have nothing against people who clean homes for a living, but

it doesn't appear that your mom's cleaning lady is exactly raking in the millions with the white guys in charge. What is she afraid would happen if Al, Jesse, and Louis took over?

[ulysses]

5. I suspect that being black is enough detail for them.

God only knows what kind of craziness might happen.

[1corona4u]

6. My neighbor thinks blacks will just fall out of the sky

and take over our neighborhood. :sarcasm: For reals. :eyes:

[fed_up_mother]

7. The return of the welfare queen!

[RoyGBiv]

8. Be black ...

That's really all it takes to scare off guttertrash stupid pissbuckets.

[Leeny]

76. awww

You stole my answer! But I will add that those "guttertrash stupid pissbuckets" are more ignernt thehn a pahl uh sour owlshit.

[Beaverhausen]

10. I've heard Obama will 'put all his black friends in power" and...

..."all the black people will get welfare"

also, he will make us all become muslim.

really - I've heard people say this.

[bdamomma]

17. he will make us all become muslim??

how about how palin wants everyone to be extremists wing nuts and embrace the rapture, that is effed up right there from a true effed up person.

[Left Is Write]

40. They're afraid he's going to make us all muslin.

And some would rather be polyester.

[yardwork]

42. I want to be velvet.

[Left Is Write]

43. I was thinking linen...

but I don't really need more wrinkles. :D

[Arugula Latte]

87. Velvet? Well, lah de dah.

I'm going to be plain old classic cotton.

[sniffa]

100. I want to be black velvet

:o

[AspenRose]

105. Your wish is my command

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVnve5wG0A

[yardwork]

108. No way! I had dibs on velvet first! Hands off my velvet!

Content yourself with velveteen or corduroy.

[1corona4u]

21. Yeah, I heard that too...

:eyes:

[yardwork]

39. But, according to the same people, all the black people are already on welfare.

[polichick]

11. Raise their taxes to give more welfare to "lazy n*****s."

Someone actually expressed that fear to me.

[treestar]

12. It would establish that black people are equal

And can do anything, even be elected President. This would explode their belief that they were born superior. They'd have no group to look down on (well, they'd still have Muslim terrorists). But it would still be one less group they'd be above, in what passes for their minds.

[SwampG8r]

32. and hindus dont forget the hindus

they are great for looking down on!

[Kind of Blue]

69. I agree with you. In my lifetime, I've had an indian woman from asia,

a mexican girl, and a polynesian (Samoan) man (all much darker than me) say to me, "At least I'm not Black." A girl I worked with from Afghanistan was disgusted because an incredibly handsome sub Saharan African co-worker was interested in her but was deeply saddened when a gorgeous blond, blue eyed male co-worker, who she loved, had no interest in her whatsoever. When she finally got engaged (to an Afghan who she hadn't met) and was showing his picture to us all, the chap was absolutely deeply brown skin with a big 'fro. I was confused and asked her about it and she said, "Well, he's not Black."

The feeling of superiority is there and has made its way around the world. So I can just imagine white racist who may have nothing to hang on to, but their delusion of superiority, feeling threatened by Obama. Thank goodness I've met too many people, whites and other people of color, whose well-being and identity is not directly linked to skin color.

[Nevernose]

91. Ironically, to the racists of the world...

...most of the people in your post are black. The guy with blonde hair and blue eyes? They'll suspect him of being Jewish.

[Liberal In Texas]

13. Send them back to Europe...or wherever...

:rofl:

[undeterred]

19. I would love to go to the part of Europe where my ancestors

are from because the standard of living is higher. But I haven't heard that in the Obama plan.

[yardwork]

41. I know, me too. My stupid ancestors.

[Bubbha Jo]

15. Succeed.

That's what scares them most.

[Yes We Did]

53. DING DING DING!!! We Have A Winner! n/t

[rucky]

61. That would pretty much fuck up their entire world view

I can't wait to see it happen.

[FrenchieCat]

16. What they won't do.....

Have our building blown up by airplanes in where thousands of Americans were killed.
Not let an entire state drown while eating cake.
Not bankrupt our treasury and plunge us into a depression
Not start wars with the wrong country, and have hundreds of thousands die for it.

Those are things that a Black President won't do.

Racist say, hang on to your wallet when passing a Black person.
But the truth is, hang on for your dear life while having a White President.

[elkston]

18. Just a sample of their hysteria

1. Incite Race Riots
2. Pay Reparations for Slavery
3. Increase welfare and entitlement programs
4. Give away big bucks to Africa
5. Impose "Afrocentric" cirriculum in schools

These people simply do not realize that many Americans grow up just like them ... Americans. Many (like me) even grew up in white neighborhoods, went to "white" colleges, and enjoy diverse activites that aren't necessarily "Afrocentric".

The ignorance of these folks really grates on me.

[yardwork]

44. They're so mean and stupid.

God forbid that U.S. schools might teach something other than the Northern European-centric stuff we've been force fed for generations.

[kskiska]

22. Ordering in a lot of fried chicken

and watermelon.

[EffieBlack]

23. They are terrified about two things: 1) that it will be "payback time"

And they know payback IS a muther------

It doesn't matter that Obama has never ever indicated any inclination for such a thing - they just know that the playing field has been so uneven and the game so unfair that if someone comes along and flips the rules, the folks who benefitted the most from and fought the hardest for the status quo will be in deep trouble.

2) That the elevation of black man to the presidency and the pinnacle of power and respect would put to a lie for all time their last, desperate, gasping attempts to convince themselves that they are innately superior to anyone.

[Raine]

24. Retribution for all the evil things us white people

have done to black people for the last couple of hundred years. I really believe that is what some of them are afraid of.

[WeDidIt]

26. Why, it would mean they no longer have an entire race of people

who no matter what were always lower than they were.

Racism is nothing more than having the ability to consider somebody different from yourself as sub-human.

[lisa58]

27. not be white

[Forkboy]

28. The theme I keep hearing is that he'll "care about them more than us."

Idiots.

Personally, after the last couple of hundred years I wouldn't blame him if he did. :)

[undeterred]

29. But that hasn't come through in his campaign at all.

He isn't going to become a totally different person when he becomes president.

[Forkboy]

33. Oh, I know that.

It's just the stupid shit I heard on NPR and a couple other places. Seems like a typical racist reaction.

[yardwork]

49. As compared to all the white politicians who presumably care more about whites than blacks

but somehow that's been ok all these years?

This is so embarrassing for the racists. Even their mean is stupid.

[Forkboy]

62. LOL

I always think that too. Sticking up for whites has been fine and dandy for centuries, but oh noes, here comes "that one" (to quote Gramps last night), and suddenly whites are threatened. :crazy:

[DrPresident]

64. LMAO @ "even their mean is stupid"

[kestrel91316]

66. BINGO.

[Goblinmonger]

30. Rape our women.

I mean, it's the classic, isn't it?

[nomorenomore08]

77. On the most primal gut level, I think you're absolutely right.

Not to go too much out on a limb here, but I've often considered that modern (last ~500 years) Western racism seems to have partial roots in a fear of unbridled sexuality, represented by the specter of the uncivilized "savage." It's as if Europeans have projected their own repressed desires onto a threatening Other, thus simultaneously reinforcing their own "purity" and creating a ready-made challenger/adversary.

[Goblinmonger]

80. Yep

Pretty much where I was at. Though you said it a lot better. You and I need to chat literature some time.

[Critters2]

112. This is it exactly. I recently read an article about how many of the

famous race riots in this country started with this accusation...that a black man had raped a white woman. That's what scares the racists most.

[Oak2004]

31. They seem to believe that black people will do to them what they've done to black people

And while it's understandable that racists fear well-deserved vengeance -- they've earned it -- they've never gotten to know enough black people to realize that most black people would rather that no one ever again experience what they've had to go through.

[nomorenomore08]

81. The only "retribution" I see coming is these so-called Angry White Men,

Rush Limbaugh listeners and their ilk, learning some humility for once in their lives. Of course they'll fight the medicine with all the gag reflex they can muster, but I don't think they can stop it from having SOME collective effect.

[BklynChick]

34. I think they're more fearful that they'll lose power and they're terrified of that.

[mscuedawg]

35. Make healthcare a right....

[TornadoTN]

36. I've heard "He will help the blacks and his people first"

Unfortunately, I'm not joking. I know a guy who is a throw-back to the 50's in terms of race relations. It's us vs. them to him, yet he claims not to be racist in the least.

Luckily, I don't encounter this guy very often. I don't think I could stomach more than the occasional passing moment when he comes to beg our company to do business with his. Naturally, we don't associate ourselves with scum like that.

[slackmaster]

45. Make fried chicken the official national dish

And watermelon the official fruit.

[damonm]

51. Don't forget Tap Dancing...

:sarcasm:

[DrPresident]

46. I read where one white man said he's gonna give all the jobs to blacks

Racists have guilty consciences, that's for damn sure. That's why they don't want a black man to be president, cuz they fear the retribution that they so rightly deserve would come upon them. But Obama's not like that. He, more than any other politician I've ever seen, truly believes in forgiveness.
They'd better be glad about that.

[Terran]

47. He's going to favor black people

and not do anything to help white people. Didn't you know that?? :crazy:

[whatchamacallit]

48. Even if Obama *was* a "covert terrorist"

it's hard to imagine he could do more damage to this country than the repukes already have.

[liberalMOmama]

50. My racist next door neighbor

insists that he is going to give every black person in the US $100,000 the second he is elected. She swears she read it in on the MSNBC website. :wtf:

[NatBurner]

52. I'd take it, too

[AspenRose]

92. ROFL

:rofl:

[RoadRage]

54. Change Basketball to the National Pasttime for starters.. NT :)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

106. David Stern's mismanagement of the NBA prevents that.

[ronnykmarshall]

55. Make Santa Claus black.

[a la izquierda]

60. you mean he isn't already?

my mom said he's going to make Al Sharpton Secy. of State. I laughed so hard wine shot out my nose. It hurt like hell.

[rvablue]

56. They are convinced that black people

hate them as much as they were taught by their racist, bigoted parents and grand parents to hate black people.

They've been brainwashed since birth to fear black people.

Despite some issues I have with my own family, I thank god and my parents every day that I was raised in household to appreciate people for who they are and not what they look like.

[gravity]

57. Regardless, Obama should destroy any stereotype

He won't stop racism altogether, but a strong leader like Obama should change people's perception

[yellowcanine]

58. Have pork chops and watermelon served at state dinners.

[BigAnth]

65. With gangsta' rappers for the entertainment.

[Feron]

63. Kill the White People

Video:
http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/kevin408/?action=view¤t=KilltheWhiteMan.flv

[AspenRose]

94. OMG it's been ages since I've seen that

:rofl:

[martymar64]

109. Similar thought

http://www.zippyvideos.com/2729220192504176/snl_-_get_me_a_shotgun/

[Essene]

67. most of it is just silly stuff for them to rationalize their hate. not to be taken literally.

[PatGund]

68. Do you want the list??

Here's an example, from Berg's "Obamscrimes" site:

"obama needs to be arrested
written by Vickie C, October 06, 2008
I hope to hell that judge does the right thing for the American people
I don't want McCain in office either but with obama out it gets a step closer for Ron Paul .

The bastard wants us to be his slaves and I show him and his flock what tar n feathers really is.

I wish I could say what I would really like to do to the closet gay crack smoking punk

what a piece of shit your are obama and your flock of rising shit kicking bastards

when you leave take mischelle with you "

Or over at "TexasDarlin"

""64 Mary on October 7, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Miri
whuptdue:
Did you see those soldiers surrounding Obama in Kuwait? All but one were black, like the majority of soldiers, and looking at him like he was a cross between Santa Claus and Jesus Christ. For his supporters, Obama’s candidacy has been first and last about race. Whether they’re in or out of unifrom will make no difference. Racism we can believe in!""

Yes, you can throw up now

[Kind of Blue]

70. WTF? I can't even begin to understand that rant. Like yardwork's

post #49 says, "even their mean is stupid." Sheesh.

[Starry Messenger]

73. Ugh. That almost makes the youtube comments section look like

MacNeill-Lehrer.

[Faygo Kid]

83. Ugh. "TexasDarlin'" used to post here. As did her supporters.

Ugly. Thank God they are gone.

[PatGund]

86. *nods*

I know. And she's gotten much worse, linking to sites like "Atlas Shrugs" and other right-wing sites as well.

Her blog is one of the biggest cheerleaders of the "Cult of the COLB" - the claims that Sen. Obama's birth certificate was forged. And one of the bloggers on her site, "Judah Benjamin", (named after the Secretary of State for the CSA), has written a lot of the claims about Sen. Obama's supposed adoption and loss of US citizenship, that Philip Berg is using in his lawsuit claiming Sen. Obama is an "illegal alien"

It's a cesspool alright

[polmaven]

71. Well, if the "black folk"

start gittin too uppity, how we gonna keep 'em doing the jobs we are all too good to do? :shrug:

[grace0418]

74. I keep seeing Freepers posting about reeducation camps. Though I *think* you have to be educated in

the first place in order to be REeducated.

Also, according to one freeper, we're going to become Cuba. I don't know what that even means.

[Joiwind]

75. Put A 45 year old Black female middle-manager

...from the public sector in every small business nationwide, in charge of approving or rejecting every purchase, hire, or sale.

[Arugula Latte]

89. Cool! Mojitos for everyone!

*snaps fingers under elbows in salsa style*

[Saphire]

78. Prolly send out roving black gangs to rape us white women folk.

[TheKentuckian]

79. I've heard tell of barbecues on the front lawn of the White House

with watermelon vines all over the place and loud rap music being played as Jessie, Al, and Farrakhan take over.

Many have expressed fear of a few hundred years of comeupins.

[Faygo Kid]

82. Subject us to an endless loop of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You"

RIP, Minnie. But geez. . .

[Poseidan]

85. makes you think...

Racists must be racist because they know they have done wrong. Why be afraid of another race, unless you have wronged said race? If your race and another race were always perfectly friendly, what reason would you have to fear the other race?

The good news is, all current races will be extinct soon (within 10,000 years). Before long, you will see mixtures of races encompassing the majority until there is nothing but mixtures (once you are mixed, you cannot become un-mixed; mixing is healthy while non-mixing/in-breeding results in retardation).

[AspenRose]

96. "Hybrid Vigor," baby!

[iiibbb]

88. Too much to retype... they're calling it Armagheddon...

Really crazy stuff.

[Arugula Latte]

90. Wouldn't it freak them out if, instead of placing his hand on the Bible when being sworn in,

President Obama did the Black Power fist-in-the-air thing a la the '68 Olympics?

:rofl:

[Grown2Hate]

93. Change our national anthem to "Picture Me Rollin" by TuPac

(which I, as a white male, would be COMPLETELY down with)? :)

"Hey Bush! Cheney, all you PNACer's up in them cell blocks? Can you SEE me? I told y'all mother fuckers when I'm President it's ON. Picture me ROLLIN'."

[Doityourself]

98. Or "All Eyez On Me" by Tupac...lmao n/t

[George_Bonanza]

95. They'd lose their primary source of self-esteem: their sense of white superiority

[Doityourself]

97. Paint the White House black...BBQ on the lawn, electric slide in the halls. spit watermelon seeds

out the Oval office windows....and on and on

[agentS]

110. Just like Mind Of Mencia!

[FormerConservative]

99. STEAL OUR WOMENS!

I kid...I kid. ;)

[joop]

101. My brother, a former penitentiary inmate refuses to be swayed to vote Obama.

At least he thinks McAnus is a crackpot so won't go there--he's voting Ron Paul.

His racism is from the personal experiences he garnered being caged up with the cream of the crop of all cultures for 12 years. I don't envy the harsh situation he was in but I have finally given up trying to persuade him.

He is convinced the fist bump proves that when Obama wins, the streets will riot like Watts all over again. Never mind that he has never lived anywhere near Watts. In that fist bump my brother saw his fellow inmates and no amount of giving him facts will change his mind. He's certain that "the street blacks" (his shitty words, not mine) will crater the US after Obama wins. I told him I was sorry for his rotten perspective but there are people of all colors and creeds for once seeing a true visionary instead of the least worst this election and if he wants to put his vote against Obama, it's not going to change the fact that he will win and he will change this world for the better for all of us. Watts my ass.

If my Archie Bunkeresque father has come around to toss aside his racism, there's hope for everyone. Except my brother.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

102. Make Ebonics a required course in school

Make Jimmy Hendrix version of the Star Spangled banner the official one

[NoodleyAppendage]

103. They worry that a successful black President means that their fucked up lives are their own fault.

Unsuccessful minorities make the low SES whites feel better about themselves...the whole "there's someone lower on the totem pole" reasoning, which supplies a psychological defense against their own failings.

J

[political_Dem]

104. Instead of regular ballroom dancing at the Inaugural Ball.....

there would be the electric slide instead. ;)

Seriously, it is very sad that there are a certain amount of people in America who would thing these stereotypes would actually take place if/when Mr. Obama becomes POTUS. The responses from people who are "truly afraid" of a Black POTUS only show the lack of education about race, culture and ethnicity in America.

[Yavin4]

107. He Would Ban Country Music and NASCAR

He'd make everyone listen to jazz, blues, R&B, and Hip Hop, and he'd force everyone to watch the NBA.

[knixphan]

111. Forcing everyone to clap on the 2 and 4...

[McPainsBrain]

113. Invest in improving health care and education in black communities

Scary shit.

I heard people making loads of money might have their taxes slightly raised to pay for things.

:eyes:

[Zookeeper]

114. Revoke white privilege. n/t
