They know in today's political correct society people think they're making amends for past atrocities by voting black.While the US still has some strong anti-black sectors, over half of the white population voted for him, many of those because he is black. The most disturbing thing is that 95% of the black population voted for him, nearly all of those just because he is black.All of this talk about how much of a great acheivement it is for a black man to be elected US President is crap. Being black is what got him across the line (the majority of the public were pretty divided about who to vote for). It was just the right time to do it.I would've prefered to see Hilary get it. Bill was one of the bect economic presidents the US has had, and polls showed that she would have been more popular than Obama anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna_T Forged Member Lifetime Members 15,818 Member For: 18y 16d Gender: Male Location: SW Sydney Posted 07/11/08 06:34 AM Share Posted 07/11/08 06:34 AM I think to a certain extent what you say is true tmac, but remember out of around 300 million people in the US, a bit over 100 million people voted (if I remember the stats correctly) So its hard to say that 95% of the african american population voted him in because he's black should be re-phrased as "95% of the voting african american population"...I think he got those votes because he was someone that people liked the look of. Yes he is half Kenyan, but he's not just "some brother from the hood", he is a guy that worked his way through higher education, had some real life experience and served in Chicago as a community planner. All these things made him out to be someone the general public could relate to - as opposed to John McCain, who yes, served time as a POW, but now has 11 houses and 13 high end cars - this could have given him a less personable appearance to Voters. Plus the Bush like stance on most things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
