Obama Win Will Swell White Supremacist Ranks
Aug 8th 2008 12:02PM
Filed Under:eDemocrats, Barack Obama, Featured Stories, 2008 President, Race

Obama "will be a clear signal for millions of our people," Duke wrote. "Obama is a visual aid for White Americans who just don't get it yet that we have lost control of our country, and unless we get it back we are heading for complete annihilation as a people."The AP and Duke are a little late on this one, predicting something that has already happened. As I reported in June, white supremacists have already reaped the benefits of Obama's nomination for President. An Obama win in November will likely continue that trend.
I've never understood what makes a guy like David Duke tick. Sure, being white is cool. You can always get a cab, shoplift with impunity, and people are really impressed when you can dance, but I don't get the need to be supreme. What is it that makes Duke so insecure, so threatened?
The fact is, the overwhelming majority of Barack Obama's supporters are white. An even more overwhelming majority of John McCain's supporters are white. You know why? The overwhelming majority of Americans are white.
To the extent that there is wider-spread racial tension or animosity, it stems more from misunderstanding and mistrust than any need to feel supreme.
The AP story contains an encouraging statistic. The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that there are 200,000 people active in white supremacist groups nationwide. That's tiny. Even if they double in size, still tiny.
White people aren't losing control of America, Mr. Duke. You are.

WHY DON'T WE GET SOME NUMBERS ON WHITE HATING BLACK PEOPLE - I BET THERE ARE MORE OF THOSE, EVEN IF THEY ARE ONLY 13% OF THE POPULATION. I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS "SUPREME" OVER ANYONE ELSE AND THESE KINDS OF ARTICLES ARE JUST RACE BATING. WHY DON'T YOU WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE ISSUES - MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!

There will always be a certain IGNORANT section of our society that belong to disgusting groups like the KKK or Aryan nation. These people are embarassing to the white race. Whenever I see one on T.V. they are so ignorant and creepy looking and acting that I cringe. I think that if that is an example of the white race being supreme then we are in big trouble.
I don't believe for one minute, however, that Obama being elected would have ANYTHING to do with the number of low-class, ignorant people joining this group.
People need to STOP trying to make this election be about race.
First of all, Obama should stop calling himself the first African American or Black to run. Obama is just as much WHITE as he is black and he needs to STOP with constantly playing on race.
Americans are sick and tired of it.
We are also sick and tired of hearing about the "white" vote, the "black" vote as if we all vote in one big group. We are individuals and we vote as such. Do we all get together and say okay, we're all white let's vote for so and so? No.
And I am sick and tired of people calling this a "historic" race. It is not any more historic than any other race for the presidency. Every president is "historic" so stop with the "black" crap.
This is what is dividing us. Articles like this about Obama and the BLACK theme. We are all just AMERICANS and need to just leave it at that!

====================================================
I agree. I am so sick to DEATH of hearing about RACE!
What is it about this election that it has descended into the gutter and all semblance of intelligence has been drained out of it?
Pamskater112:58PMAug 8th 2008
Yeah Barry, and I bet you just spit out something from under your white hood! The last time you voted you voted a dummy in office. Now you can't afford to burn your cross. Do us all a favor bigot and move to Nazi Germany.
Lyla12:59PMAug 8th 2008
Perhaps we have found a good use for Git-mo, after
all. A "RE-education camp" for these "supreme" beings
who think that the constitution is only for white folks!
Think about it! Who corrupts the meaning of " all men are created equal" more than white "supremacists? Who is more dangerous to the heart of America? Who uses a
burning cross, taking the name of God in vain?
The KKK and their ilk are pathetic posers. They are a
blight on the American soul. Their very being shames us all.
Their by-line and excuse was "saving the flower of white womanhood. What kind of limp wristed goofiness is that? Please. Don't hide behind women or use them
as reason for being savages.

That's why I get so tired of black people saying, there's more white people on public aid and drawing food stamps than blacks. Hell, there's over 300 million people in he US. Of course that's true but if you compare by actual population its a farce. If every white person voted for McCain. Obama wouldn't stand a chance of winning. But, there's a lot of white people out there thats just ignorant and won't vote at all. And, if Obama wins this election its their lazy asses fault.

When is AOL going to give me a White Voices channel? I am disgusted whenever I see AOL Latino and-or Black Voice. These groups are always given something extra. Why can I not have a channel where I do not have to look at other minorities, just like Black Voice and AOL Latino users do
Tommy Christopher1:06PMAug 8th 2008
Amazing. My article is directed specifically at David Duke, and it says that the overwhelming majority of white people reject his philosophy, yet you accuse me of race-baiting. What the hell is that?
MJG221:10PMAug 8th 2008
"I've never understood what makes a guy like David Duke tick. Sure, being white is cool. You can always get a cab, shoplift with impunity, and people are really impressed when you can dance, but I don't get the need to be supreme. What is it that makes Duke so insecure, so threatened?'
To answer your question Mr. Christopher, David Duke is a pathetic individual. Fortunately most Americans know this. But your use of his distorted thinking to continue to play the race card is even more pathetic. ("As I reported in June, white supremacists have already reaped the benefits of Obama's nomination for President. An Obama win in November will likely continue that trend".)
The truth is that Mr. Obama and his supporters have played the race card since day one of this campaign and I predict it will be their downfall in November.
So, the question is, "What is it about you Tommy that makes you so insecure, so threatened?"
jblsus1:10PMAug 8th 2008
If blacks aren't prjudiced then why is Obama getting almost 99 percent of the black vote. Are they (blacks) voting on credibility? Please. As I said there's over 300 million people in US, about 260 million of them are white. If the whites were truly prejudiced like the blacks are and voted soley based on color, Obama would suffer the biggest landslide loss in US history. White folks needs to wake up!
Tommy Christopher1:10PMAug 8th 2008
Mike,
you're allowed to read, and even comment on, Black Voices. FYI.
HENRY1:26PMAug 8th 2008
COME ON T.C. KEEP PUTTING UP ARTICLES ABOUT RACE AND ALL YOU ARE DOING IS RACE-BAITNG AND YOU KNOW IT. YOU FAN THE FLAMES OF RACISM TRYING TO DRUM UP SOME KIND OF WHITE GUILT THINKING WE WILL VOTE FOR THE EMPTY SUIT. ARTICLES LIKE THIS ARE YOUR MANTRA. BUT BY ALL MEANS, KEEP IT UP, IT TURNS PEOPLE OFF TO OBAMA AND YOU ! THANKS.....MCCAIN 08
Lynn Cruze1:27PMAug 8th 2008
Boy Howdy!
The KKK and White Supremacists actually NEED a reason to get together and iron their sheets?
These fellows and their girlfriends (don't think for a minute that you girls are considered equal just because of your creamy complexions) will continue to gather and will increase their numbers with a McCain win as well. Why? Because there really IS a problem with illegal aliens and lack of local production.
There is NO SUCH THING AS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Either you are an immigrant which means entering this country legally with the intent to become a citizen, or you are one of two kinds of alien - a Resident Alien which means you came here legally but without the intent, at the time, to become a citizen or you are here illegally which means you are an illegal alien and STILL SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY. IF one comes into this country unlawfully then one is in fact a law breaker, not necessarily a criminal but NOT entitled to the same status as a citizen.
UNTIL, "We the people", decide to hold our elected officials accountable and demand they enforce the laws already on the books which, surprisingly already includes provisions for those who "Knowingly or who should have reasonably known they were enabling illegal activities..." to be prosecuted (can you say cheap food?), then workers displaced by NAFTA and CAFTA and all the stupid trade treaties passed since 1981 which were INTENDED to undercut local agriculture and food processors to allow for a MONOPOLY of all food production,storage and transport (-smile and say "ADM")will have to come to the USA and work for those "UN-AMERICAN WAGES of less than a minimum living wage".
For all these guys feeling left out, they have only themselves to blame by voting in those good ol' Conservatives who believed in smashing the Government that got "We the people" out of the Depression, won WWII, created the Industrial power that kept America at the top of the world and with some major black spots, kept the ideal of America as a Democracy based on the GOOD of a Just and ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT. These folks in white sheets and $1200 suits during the day, in the case of Duke, swallowed the whole poison pill of "states rights" versus the Federal Government when it came to Civil Rights for African Americans and did not even see what these Conservative ideologues were really after - ABSOLUTE POWER TO RULE based SOLEY ON WEALTH. They fed the idea that "any person can become wealthy if only the Government would stay out of their way". That is just the Conservative run Government that created the WORLD WIDE DEPRESSION that hit in 1929 and is looking us square in the eyes again.
Don't believe me? Make a list of what you bought just this week and see how many of those items INCLUDING YOUR FOOD were produced in the United States.
Now, at the next meeting of the sheets - look to see where the cloth you are wearing was made. YOU voted for the changes that have you fearing for your families right now. McCain has sold out any semblence of fighting those powers and even if Obama is black, remember that he like most Americans, even the whitest looking, has a better than 50% chance of being of "mixed heritage" - At least those who have been Americans for more than 2 generations. Sorry boys, but those "non whites" you get angry with may actually be your cousins thanks to the way it was back in the old days.
Gregman271:29PMAug 8th 2008
The presidential race is all about skin color. Name one black person that is going to vote for McCain. You can't. Everytime i see a black person getting interviewed about who they are going to vote for they say Obama, and the reasons....they can't think of any. Because they are voting for skin color and don't want to actually come out and say it on national television. I have seen this play out several times on CNN and Fox. The average black person can not give a reason why, and if they do they say they want change. And that is just hilarious, they change they are speaking of is the color that runs the country, not political views. And evertime some white makes something just for whites they are racist, why is that??? Is it only whites that can be racist, because that is the way the media portrays it. If i produced an all white channel i would be a racist, if i wanted revesed affimative action that would make me racist, if i wanted all races (not just whites) to be charged with hate crimes, yup i would be racist. Or how about a United White College Fund, i would be the definition of a racist.
Marsha1:31PMAug 8th 2008
TC, why would we WANT to read or comment about anything from 'Black Voices'? We've heatd enough already. But you can bet that if we were even allowed to start a 'White Voices" chat, blacks would just ruin it.
Tommy Christopher1:35PMAug 8th 2008
Josh,
well said. I tip my hat.
"Obama is a strategist.. less a tactician. He doesn't easily get ruffled with the daily events. This is good, because it makes a great leader. maybe a great politician."
NO-0BAMA1:35PMAug 8th 2008
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER IS "RACE-BAITING"! SHAME ON YOU!
Another Obama supporter tossed from the Happy Times bus.
Mazen Asbahi, hired to help with Muslim relations, is no longer a part of the bus as he was found to be associated with the Hamas terrorists.
Poor old Obama - his choice of friends seems to be a continual failure.
Osama and Achmadinijad still plan to vote for Obama.
HOW MUCH MONEY HAS OBAMA RECEIVED FROM MIDDLE-EASTERN MUSLIM COUNTRIES?
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
llee1:38PMAug 8th 2008
WHY ARE REPUKES SO ANGRY, IS IT BECAUSE MCCAIN IS JUST LIKE BUSH WHO WOULD ONLY BRING OUR COUNTRY DOWN MORE. OUR COUNTRY HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE CORRUPTION AND IGNORANCE THAT HAS PLAQUED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS.

Seriously, what have blacks ever done to whites that make them so afraid. "White supremacy" is about the stupidest thing I can imagine. Just because someone has less pigment in their skin makes them think they are supreme is asinine.
