Racism still exists. And whether you want to believe it or not, there are plenty of reasons why one would think racism was involved in Obama lost. Bust judging from the insensitivity of this post, their belief would be well justified.

What insensitivity?
Is it insensitive and racist to put the interests of your country and fellow Americans, regardless of race, greed, or color, ahead of some one's-some group's- agenda?
Note: By "some group", I am talking about a group of people following a their own political agenda and interests, not a racial group.
What exactly are the reasons one may see Obama's loss as racist?
Who actually, and primarily, made a point of making this election about race? That alone is racist.
Maybe all Americans of all races, greeds, and colors need to go back to the 60s and REALY listen to Martin Luther King's words, and REALY TRY to envision "His Dream". Alot of people seem to have forgotten, or have the worng idea of what he was really saying.
If Obama looses it will be because this country decided he was not the right man, with the right ideas, for this time in our history. Pure and simple.

Far more whites will vote for Obama than blacks will vote for McCain...

I agree!!
Let me tell you a story: I was sitting in our Truck on Office Depot's parking lot the other day, while d/h went in to buy a couple ink cartridges for our printer, and there was a black woman in a car who was stopping all black/brown people and asking them if they wanted an Obama button and handing out packets (plastic bag containing material) of whatever to them. There were at least 6 of other different nationalities that passed by her car but she stopped not one of them. It's all about race, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
None-the-less it doesn't matter, Obama is bought and paid for, he's just the front-man, so that if he doesn't win so many will be crying racism in order to be a distraction --- to keep the Country from moving forward under McCain. It's all part of the Dem's game plan.

I think black women; those who only vote for Obama because of his color; will be first to cry racism.

People will say everything when Obama loses. They will say its about racism, corrupting the voting system, the fact he didnt support Hillary as VP, they will pull everything and anything to make it look ridgid. The fact of the matter will be they will be VERY sore losers. But they may as well get used to the idea sooner than later. McCain will win this election.

I might agree with you if there weren't about 4 billion legitimate, non-racial, reasons to vote against Barak.

How is it insensitive to point out the fact that there are some who blame everything on racism? Is it not the truth?
I would think the insensitivity comes in when the racism is first accused, not when the accuser is named.

insensitivity of this post,
I don't think discussing the strategy of the left in this election as being insensitive. The left has thrown away the election...Obama will never win...so...why did they nominate him?
I believe its agenda driven. You had a woman..and a "black" man. I think either would do great in losing. A woman losing will strengthen's the lefts hold over women and a black losing will strengthen their hold over blacks and minorities.
I don't understand why its not racism to assume all black people will vote for Obama. I don't even consider all white people voting for McCain. The excellent point that was made that more white people will vote for Obama than black people just goes to show....racism, while it is here, isn't really a force in politics.
Racism exists because people are...what they are, imperfect. What has been done is this...racism has little real power today. It is not institutionalized like it once was.
When Obabma loses it will be because america has once again rejected the liberal agenda...of COURSE, the liberals won't recognise this and they will make excuses...and the number one excuse will be....
racism. It was a built in excuse from the start. Gee how impotent is a party who can't beat the party of the least popular president in 100 years?
As much as I want the present day republican party to die...it can't because of the incompetence of the democratic party.

yeah...and, not even considering the possibility that IF J.C. Watts ran for Prez. or VP.....or Michael Steele....or even Clarence Thomas...or Condi Rice....or Colin Powell...
I would vote for ANY of them in a heartbeat.
(But, in their minds, voting for any of "the above" somehow doesn't count....)......
MY VOTE goes to the person who has demonstrated a desire to continue the ideals of free markets, capitalism and free enterprise......and, it's obvious as to the person who will carry on those ideals....and the one that will abandon them.

The things I will cry out to the new administration are: "Go to work right now! No break or vacations for you all! Be efficient, clean up the mess! Be somber and lets live austerous from now in! Want to see real results and the clock is ticking..1, 2, 3..!"

There will be cries of racism no matter who wins. I also think there will be violence no matter who wins.

I'm confused ... how does the action of one black woman in a parking lot, during the timeframe you watched her (how long was that by the way - was it over the course of a few hours or was it a few minutes?) cause you to draw the conclusion that the entire campaign of Barak Obama is only about race? Let's say I saw something similar. Perhaps over the course of an hour I saw a white man handing out McCain/Palin paraphenalia only to white people in a public parking lot. Could I then say the same about the entire McCain campaign? Unless the man handing out the paraphanelia was McCain himself (and even then I'd probably have to watch him for longer than an hour), how could I conclude that his entire campaign is about race? Sorry, but given that many white people are supporting Obama - so he is also speaking them as well, this just doesn't seem to be a logical conclusion to me.

They were extremely busy that day, I guess educational supplies was the cause, so I would guess at least a haft hour, maybe more. Yes, I agree, if you seen a white man handing out McCain/Palin paraphernalia to ONLY white people you could say the same about the entire McCain campaign. I don't know about other states, but this Dem. Controlled State has an all out campaign called 'Get out the Black Vote' --- Rep. have an all out campaign called 'Get out the Vote' (no color/race attached).

Hi Pat - Interesting, because I don't agree that if I'd seen a white man handing out McCain/Palin paraphernalia to ONLY white people that I would think that this is the reflection of the entire campaign. Unless I saw this happen a lot, time and again (where I could see a pattern), or unless it were McCain himself, I would think that I was probably seeing the bias of a single person.
I'm a christian and in the last campaign for governors of my state, there was a huge - "get out the christian vote" effort. For a solid month or so, I received at least 4 - 6 calls every week urging that I vote for the republican governor, senator, and George Bush. I got mailings to dinners, picnics, etc. Political parties target different groups - and often minority groups because there are less of them are targetted by the fact that they are minorities - where whites - because they are a larger voting bloc, are often targetted by their activities. So you'll hear - get out the black vote, get out the hispanic vote - but you'll rarely hear get out the white vote. Instead you'll hear get the votes of the "soccer moms" or get the votes of the "nascar dads." Of course some minorities are suburban middle class and or fit the profile of those who are interested in nascar (whatever that profile is), but generally, this is short-hand for getting a certain segment of the white vote.
But that is beside the point that I was making. The point was that I'm not sure if it is accurate to draw the conclusion that the Obama campaign is "all about race" based on the observation of the actions of one woman in the Office Depot parking lot for a half an hour on one particular day.

Cries of racism would be the least of problems if riots ensue.
A close loss in Ohio could do it I think.

I've seen this warning a few times here and elsewhere, and I'm sorry, but I really don't consider the warning that "if he loses, his supporters might throw a tantrum and riot in the streets" to be a compelling argument to vote for a candidate.
"Thug politics" is not appealing.

A couple of columnists at a Philadelphia newspaper have intimated basically that if we don't vote for the One, we're going to have mass riots on our hands, and it will be the fault of those that didn't elect him.
