I call B.S. on you.

I live in a black neighborhood. Probably 60-75% black/minority.

I left my house after Obama's speech JUST because I knew morons like you would post crap like this.

I drove through the "worst" areas (aka projects in terms that you understand). And I didn't see a soul outside.

I saw 2 young college-age black kids at a grocery store. They were getting in their car and leaving. Not jumping or screaming.

O.J. (a complete waste of life) and Obama (a U.S. Senator) are two extremes of the race.

Please do not lower yourself to stereotypes.

I can prove every one of them wrong.

Come to my house and visit my BLACK neighbors. All of them! They are beautiful people.

Like the celebrations when Pres Bush won. I would like to know where all this celebrating was. I didn't see it on my way home last night.
If ANY neighborhood was celebrating it was mine.

They did it indoors apparently.

I was hoping for a big massive riot or something. Not a thing! I was actually disappointed.

My neighborhood is "famous" for being majority black and ALWAYS votes for a Democrat.

Sorry if your neighbors kept you up Jimbo, but I think it was isolated.

As for the celebrations on TV, they were at the actually location of the speech. Much like the McCain supporters during his concession speech. Alot of those people were yelling and screaming and going crazy too.

I think MOST people were relieved the d*** election is over! Regardless of who won.

It's been almost a year long battle....

On the news, people.
Yeah, at Grant Park.

Duh! They were there to celebrate!

What in the hell does O.J. have to do with a Presidential election?

Oh yeah, skin color...
That is always the most important factor.
Forget education, achievement, history, family (his grandmother just died-it was emotional).

All that matters is some old black guy is our President now and you hate it. You hate it so much.

He's half white, so he can't be labeled as one thing. He's unique in that respect. He has two histories. Two heritages.

I'm sorry you are so upset that your candidate lost. I'm grateful he gave such an eloquent concession speech. Obama has already called him and asked McCain how the 2 are going to work together to fix this mess.

Who is Bathtub Boy going to have to rant about in a few months?


It's sad that we have people hoping that is the case, just so they can say I told you so.
Over 63 mil voters for Sen Obama and all you have is people gathering at the White House, and other large venues. Let me see where the masses took over an arena, show me riots, show me cars being flipped by the masses. You are showing nothing more than the things that happen at every Presidential election. To be honest, I see worse at home games when SEC teams loose.
I know!

That's why I went out! I wanted to celebrate too. But I couldn't find a soul. I just saw 2 kids getting in their car at Kroger @ 11:30. Dang it!

Rioting and Celebrating are different. But knowing the mindset of some on this forum, I can see where both are equal and considered a sin.

So in that sense, I'm sorry that you have never had anything to celebrate yet. Maybe next time!
I hope we are celebrating today. We had a free and fair election. The people of the nation chose our next leader peacefully. How cool are we? Now that the vote is over we must remember that we are all on the same side, we mostly want the same things for our family that our neighbors want for theirs. We want peace, security, and the opportunity to be reasonably succesful. Let us all support our new president, if he fails, we all suffer.

Kudos! Smiler
R&R, I had to run to the Inglewood Kroger last night at about 10. I figured it would be a while before the winner would be declared, but as I was getting out of my car, I heard cheers go up from several of the houses on either side of Kroger and across Gallatin as they called the election for Obama. But you're right, there was none of the shooting guns into the air or booty shaking to rap music that Jimbo seems to have expected.

LOL! That's where I went. But it was a little later. After Obama's speech.

I was certain more people would be out and about after the speech.

I did speak to several sweet girls who were high school seniors or just recent grads. They were SO excited. I was so happy to see them so excited. [And they were of all different races for those who actually CARE: white, black, and hispanic]

I don't know that I watched election coverage that intently when I was 18 or younger...

Although we live in the "hood" Marian, it sure was a civilized, peaceful hood last night. :-D

Well people on this forum are from all over the US. Why is no one reporting the mayhem? There was none. Accept the fact that you were wrong. Of course people would celebrate but it was done in a mostly organized fashion. Out of the over 63 mil people that voted for Sen Obama, how many were so out of control that arrest needed to be made? Sorry, your wrong.
I don't know why anyone would celebrate this tragedy! I was almost in tears, afraid for the future of my children. This man is inexperienced and un American. I am sick to my stomach to think about him being in control. Oh well, someone will probably take him out so we probably won't have 4 years of him anyway. Probably will deal with Biden.

You too are an embarrassment to the human race.

I second that filterz!
Does all the threads concerning Palins special needs child have to be brought back up? Do all the threads concerning Palins unwed daughter have to be brought back up? Do all the threads about McCains age and injuries have to be brought back up?
THOSE were embarassement to the human race! That innocent baby was not running for anything,That teenage daughter was not running for anything. And McCain certainly was not running for anything while he was being tortured as a POW.
I am about as right wing as they come(Pat Buchanan has to look to his right to see me). I do fear some idiot shooting Obama, I hope and prey this does not happen. I do not agree with his socialist views but he is a human and he is the soon to be President, I respect that and prey for his decisions as I did Bush Clinton Bush and Reagen( I was a little kid but I am sure I did with Carter too) and every other leader. I wish him health and would like the chance to defeat him in 2012. But even in jest which I hope that comment was made that is to serious of a topic to not be treated so lightly.

I just hope if any one is evil enough to try I hope they are as stupid as the 2 white power individuals that where captured a couple of weeks ago before they were able to. I mean seriously how stupid do you have to be to get captured for shooting someone before you shoot them. Now if only all evil people were that stupid.
chicken,you brought up a subject i fear. Those crazy white superemist groups. I truly believe those in power will look out for Obama and are expecting some crazies trying something. But I fear the trouble those ws groups will start up.
I watched a special on tv a few months ago about them,they interviewed several of them,that now is a scary bunch of folks!
