Has anyone seen the videos on YOU TUBE of Obama talking about the white people of this country, these words come out of his mouth the hatred he has for them, how can anyone support a person that runs the white race down the way he does. Why would anyone running for public office make such remarks, I can not understand why people can not see this man for what he is. I believe he is a danger to our country, his remarks about disarming America, leaves us open to all the other countries to attack us, is that what he is after, and yes how can a unknown raise so much money, who is backing him. Are they from this country or over seas. Go to YOU TUBE and listen to what he says about the whites and tell me that this is what you want running our country, that he will protect us from another 9-11. Wake up people before it is too late. i believe with him in office he will make it easy for every known terrorist to have entry to this country, and believe me some are backing him and what do they expect out of it.

I've never heard him say anything against white people. I really think he may be what this country needs. Sometimes change really works.

Change seems like just a word he throws around and it is a word that has drawn people.I don't know how this can happen.
To me it sounds cultish to vote for him because of the word.I've listenened to his speaches and he really doesn't say anything and I'm one of the lucky one's that thinks about this and is not moved by his words.Rather Clintons words are
of action and what she will do day one.There is a huge difference in their speaches.just words from Obama and words of
action from Clinton.I wish people would have thought about this before they even voted and some probably now have regrets that they even voted for him.Its so logical to me to vote for the one that brings meaning and action to her words.

And which one of many videos might that be? The one where he talks about his WHITE grandmother and acknowledges her racial fears? Or the one where he talks about people living in formerly industrial areas who have lost their jobs and their economies and how they tend to cling to the things they know and fear the things they don't? Saying to look on YouTube doesn't help since there are so many to look at.
I have found NOTHING in the things he says that indicates a hatred of anyone anywhere. Can you please be more specific?

You're absolutely right! In psychology, there is something usually referred to as 'projection'. It is the situation where human beings, instead of acknowledging their own faults, project it on other people. That seems to be what is happening here mostly.

I don't suppose that you can back your claim up with a link to the video, can you?? Because after quite a bit of searching the only anti-white, racist, or un-American comments that I can find on You Tube were made by his former Pastor Rev. Wright, not Obama! If you are going to try to start a mud-slinging discussion, you should at least be able to back up your claims with facts, - or at the very least verifiable information!

It was not hard for me to find it...I do not support him and never have. People who vote for him do not read, watch the news or look at Youtube. I do not understand them...especially white people who should care about their future.

Actually, the ones who will vote for Obama are extremely educated, so they do read and watch the news. Most are just jaded and think he is the great hype.

Yes, I have seen them. For some reason, people don't want to see him as he is. His wife thinks white are the oppressor. Maybe she would like to give white folks a state of our own, and we can vote for our own president.

I have to agree with Ojassa that this is a ridiculous topic. Not only does Obama never say anything indicating he is racist, not only does he know how many Caucasians make up the American population, but people, Obama is as White as he is Black. He has a Caucasian mother, and an African father. It is a fairly big stretch to say he is racist against white people. Especially when his Caucasian grandparents raised him for a good part of his childhood. Glad to see the responses here. Nice to know some of us think about these things.

You're right Fiona, "typical white person" is in no way racist! Give me a break!

But it should matter to you how he was raised, and it should matter to you how he presents himself. Watch him conduct himself on a regular basis, because these are legitimate ways for you judge a person's character. On the other hand, basing your judgement on the things his pastor said is a little unfair, and makes you seem a little less intelligent.

No matter he was raised, I still think he is racist. The pastor of his church was a huge bigot and you can't go to a church for 20 years and call the pastor one of your "spiritual advisers" without espousing his beliefs. Now, he has another close associate make racially charged remarks. Obviously, this should call for some concern.
I guess you'd have to ask the 17.5 million people who voted for him! Good point! tdemex @ElaanR2 (277)

O, my God! If I had known that this is the kind of politics people do here on mylot, I wouldn't have accepted the invitation to be here! Are you kidding me? In this day and age there are still Americans who think this way? And people actually believe what they see about political candidates on youtube? It's interesting that the only thing we learned from the 2004 elections as a nation is how to believe in dubious political tricks. This is absolutely disgusting!
