Institutional racism will not end tomorrow. Obviously.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 12:56 PM by Bornaginhooligan
But it will end some day in the future. And tomorrow will be the biggest step we've made towards that goal in decades. If the Civil Rights movement was a wild haymaker to the jaw of institutional racism, Obama's victory tomorrow will be a swift kick in its nuts. And that wouldn't be possible with out the nuts. So I'd like to take a moment to thank those racist nuts.

Lou Dobbs: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You know, four years ago people were talking about the Hispanic vote going to the Republicans. Now, thanks to you and racists like you, we've now got the Hispanic vote some 70-80%. That's nearly African-American numbers. Sure, you're isn't exactly the samd kind of racism people associate with the critics of Obama. But racism is racism, and yours probably sent us over the top. The best part of it is that Obama called you out personally, and you bit. Should have stuck with market news, dipshit.

Bill O'Reilly: Motherfucker, get me some iced tea.

John McCain: You, sir, are a disgrace to your uniform. You're an insult to every G.I. who was a P.O.W. and didn't come home disparaging Asian Americans, or blaming it for why they can't remember how many houses they own, or saying there's no such thing as PTSD. There's plenty that's been said about you and and your racist campaign, but it's already been said. So I'll just say this: voting for you has become an act of racism in and of itself.

Ashley Todd: Wassup, /b?! Hey, you know those magazines for young women? The ones with the feature, like, "The Most Embarassing Moment Ever..." type thing? There'll be some anonymous teenager, like IDK my BFF Jill, who writes about the time she wore her tight white jeans to the party and was the last person to find out she started her period. You know those things? So, like, when there's that girl who peed in the pool and it turned the secret indicator dye a bright color, she only embarassed herself in front of the hunky lifeguard. You, god bless you, gave us the backwards B in front of the entire national, hell, international audience. Holy fuck, you'll be embarassed for life. Now the good thing about you being so incredibly stupid is you're probably just stupid enough to think you are personally responsible for McCain's lose. How will you ever live that down? Be an hero.

Pat Buchanan: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Sarah Palin: I noticed they're even discussing you on the Graham Norton show. Thank God for you.

Name Withheld: *redacted*

Freepers: You know, according to your own logic, you now have to obey, honor, and respect a guy named Hussein. Love it or move to France.

Dana Milbank: Great timing on the "uppity" comments, goofball.

Dick Cheney: Go fuck yourself.

George Bush: You know, eight years ago I wasn't too concerned with the presidential race. I was more wrapped up in the defeat of Slade Gorton. I liked Gore, but I figured if you got elected, you'd be so ridiculously incompetent, you'd ruin the Republican Party for decades. Well, I hadn't counted on 9-11 fucking up that plan. But then again, I hadn't counted on Barack Obama either. So it looks now like the Republican Party is really in the shitter. And there's a great schism forming between the greedy pseudointellectual republican who want tax cuts, and the moronic mouth breathers who want God knows what. What fun. Looks like my original predictions eventually turned out correct. And when you get right down to it, your incompetence really is what made it happen.

Thank you for finally restoring honor and dignity to the White House.

1. The USA is not called the melting pot for nothing
Race will become less and less of an issue in the years to come. I see this in my family. My father, a WW11 flier, was prejudiced against Blacks, Japanese, Mexicans, Jews and more. My mom was not. I was not. My three kids don't see skin color as far as their frindships or boyfriends. In a few decades, whites will also be a minority. We should celebrate our differences and not fear them.
