What of this issue? It's been bandied indirectly, but let's take a poll:
How racist do you think America is? I'm sincerely asking everyone here to weigh in on this direct question. To me, about 1/3 of Americans are deeply, blindly panicked that a black could be president. I'm thinking that if Obama gets the nod, they'll be strongly motivated to get to the voting booth in larger than normal turnout-numbers for McCain --despite McCain's liberality. I don't think these folks can be reasoned with. I have members of my extended family that are totally racist and they just cannot be reached -- I've tried and they simply clam up when they get cornered. I think racism could be studied by experimental psychology and most if not all the major dynamics of being human would become clear -- racism is bone deep imprinted xenophobia that is easily imprinted because of "built in," resonant, DNA driven, species-tribalism. So, score one for Judy on her use of the "unelectable" word. To have 1/3 of all voters so locked in against a candidate is certainly an uphill battle that a white person would not directly face. And since the elections have been so close lately when only whites were running, it seems that this intractable 1/3 is a huge deficit to begin a campaign with. But, score one for Obama in that despite the above challenge, he's risen to his present stature where stadiums are being filled with true believers who are surprisingly young or traditionally not-in-the-mix blacks who haven't done the political process because of "why try when it's rigged?" If he's done this well so far with those two "non-voting" groups, maybe that 1/3 is not going to be a problem. Will they show up on election day is a big question though. If Turq is right that "unelectable" means "nigger," (and I think he has a very strong point because I've seen the addiction to racism first hand in the hearts and minds of those I love,) then indeed, merely mentioning this concept of unelectability will CERTAINLY trigger/signal to the minds of racists that, yup, Obama's black and strengthen their imprinting. And to those who were lucky enough to not have had their godlike parents imprint them fully into racism, these on-the-cusp personalities could be brought into the darkside's fold by this constant banging on them to put their attention on his blackness and all the stereotypical racist delusions. I personally think that Hillary's 50% support is strongly indicative of her being buoyed up by cross over ditto-head types who will vote for McCain eventually but want to stop a black person from getting the nom. If Obama were not black, Hillary would have, say, only 25% in the polls -- just guessing here. With Hillary getting the nom, then McCain can have a field day running against Bill's record, blow job, pardons, money stuff, and, get this, Bill's actions against Saddam that show he was supportive of war, war profiteering, and taking lobbiest money from these profiteering. Hillary will lose against McCain, not because she's so bad, but because Bill's record can be pinned on her....and to me, rightly so, cuz if I'm sleeping with someone, I've got intimate access to the reins of power and will have an influence. 'Course, if Hillary wasn't sleeping with Bill during her first ladyshipping, then that shows her to be compromising perhaps the deepest "womanly virtue" by wearing a crass power-addiction-driven mask. Obama against McCain has one superdooper thingie that Hillary cannot bring to the election: putting racism squarely onto the table like a 500 pound hunk of rotting meat and making America look into a mirror when the racist swiftboating starts churning out the bile. It will be so over the top and obvious that even racists will be appalled at the forthright presentation of hate. To me, to have a black candidate will force America to see itself much more clearly and the angst will be palpable. So much so, that I have to worry about what will be done to stop Obama's candidacy before the Democratic Convention -- killed in a kitchen seems to be a very possible solution to white America's fears. If Bobby got it that way, Obama surely can be offed too. I'm thinking that that 1/3 of America would rather have race riots all summer and maybe for years because of an Obama assassination, because, now, those riots are strongly anticipated by police departments everywhere and sound-cannons, skin burning ray guns, etc. are at the ready -- then the internment camps get filled with looters etc....effectively criminalizing another whole generation of blacks with charges that will insure they don't get hired, cannot vote, etc. But, I lived through the Detroit riots, and I'm here to tell you that killing Martin Luther King was nothing compared to what killing Obama would be. Obama has gotten blacks to think they could actually be represented in the political process by one of their own, and they are just not going to let that be taken away by a bullet. Assassination of Obama will not be taken as a one-off deal, but instead the African American population will be traumatized so deeply that the held-back anger will be released in a nation splitting surge of violence across the country that could last for a decade or longer. This alone could cause Martial Law to be declared, the election delayed, etc. Then bomb Iran and the fate of America is locked in for years more of profiteering war mongers. If Obama gets the nom, and the election is held, then, yup, it could simply mean that they're going to steal the election once again with bogus voting machines, disenfranchising black voters with various rovian ruses, totally fucking lying polls that are simply made up, etc. Only a 28% approval rating for Bush, and yet, strangely, McCain who is promising to carry on the war mongering, is polling at about 50/50 with either Hillary or Obama. WTF, eh? 80% of the country wants out of Iraq, but 50% are likely to vote for McCain? Come again? See? This is BigBiz manipulating the public with entirely rigged polls that guarantee in advance what the responses will be to obviously loaded questions. Look at the ABC debate questions! It was racism pure and simple, folks. Given Obama's momentum, I'm predicting assassination, or, some dark secret about Obama being revealed, or, voting machine fraud, or, Bush's bombing of Iran bringing Russia etc. into the fray and America going on a wartime footing that rushes McCain, the killer, into the presidency. In short, it looks really fucking bad, and we should all be prepared for extremes.
