Are people reluctant to openly dislike Obama because he's black?
I think so. Or at least I think people are more reluctant to openly express displeasure with him because they fear being called a racist. He essentially has the same foreign policy as his predecesor yet doesn't get even close to half of the hate Bush got.
|
some do openly hate him
but he's still relatively young and fresh to the job. Plus he's not a republican and they always get openly hated regardless of colour. But to answer your question, no they can easily find other reasons to hate on him without actually referring to his colour. Give it time and he'll be receiving serious hate just like all who've gone before. The honeymoons barely over. |
Isn't it like this with anyone who isn't white these day. :shrug:
|
No, usually Democrat Presidents seem to get less hated than Republican ones but he has been dipping heavy in the polls the last year,however his cool response to the Libyan affair has boosted his ratings.
|
I would say Al Qaeda openly dislike him.
|
He speaks well, he seems a nice guy, i like him. He could do with a name change to Bob Steel but apart from that.
His colour? - meh |

I think a lot of Black people dislike him. He's done nothing to help to hoods and ghettos of America, I think that is what some were expecting
|
I dont think he is black anyway, its just bad lighting
|
The chances are some people will be, but I dont see why it matters..
From what Ive heard, seems a pretty cool bloke! |
He is also technically just as white as he is black

Why do people keep calling him black?:confused: He has a white mother and a black father, that makes him mixed race. If anything, he is more representative of the general population than either a wholly black or wholly white President, don't you think?
If people don't like him, I can think of any number of reasons why that might be, all of them totally unrelated to his racial background. For one thing, he's a Democrat, what's not to hate? |
Its because he 'looks' more black and white...
Id actually say he was brown but its not really a term used lol |
For a lot of racist-minded people any hint of race other than white in your make-up makes you black.

Hate when people do stuff like this. Political correctness gone mad.
Like I cant do an indian accent mentioning nothing like curry or anything racist without being called racist. But no one would care if I did an australian accent. Its racism saying i cant do what I like just because im white. This happened in BB8 as well, emily got kicked out for saying a word Charley and Nicky said in the exact same context and wasnt meant in a racist way at all but Charley and Nicky didn't even get a slap because they are black and allowed to say a word but a white person isnt. Its racism saying emily couldn't say it but it was fine for Charley and Nicky to just because they were black. Rant over. |

Indians are persecuted for their race and belittling them by imitation is one way. Australians are not so imitating them is no problem It is to do with prejudice. A black person saying the n word is not the same as a white person. If you dont know why that is then you should not be in this thread. |
Quote:
And i understand the history of the n word but i am not forcing black people to be my slaves and i have nothing against any race in anyway so actually it is racist to not allow a white person to say a word in the dictionary because of mistakes others have made in the past. If emily had used it in an offensive way then id understand but she didn't. I agree it shouldn't be said at all but a modern day white person should not be persecuted for saying it when a black person isnt. |

Yes some parts of America are Anti -Black.. But Barack got into power by making bold claims. Top Guitarist Santana said on CNN why is he still not bringing our troops home? And now Barack talks like Bush did short sentances. Will he be Killed in London next week - thats the Question? |
Quote:
And in answer to the question I do think people are reluctant to dislike him yeah. It's true that Bush did all those tax breaks for the rich which he isnt popular for him but most people hated Bush for his foreign policy, and Obama seems no better in that regard; the killing of Bin Laden and the aftermath proved that. |

I'm reluctant to dislike him, because he has done a reasonable job reversing the failures of the Bush Administration (just in case anybody forgets which government's policies caused the global financial crisis). Predictably, my main gripe with him turned out to be his reforms, which were not radical enough to kickstart the economy again.

I was waiting for the first person to use the term "PC" or "Political Correctness". ENOUGH PLAYING THE 'PC' CARD ALREADY! Yeesh! People who use the term 'PC' are almost always bigoted. It's a get out of jail free card response. Most don't even know what it means.
Obama's race only matters to Republicans. They can't shut up about it. |

Regarding his popularity, I thought his approval rating had shot up after he had Bin Laden killed? I think he is quite popular across the board particularly when compared to all the Republican jokers who are likely to run againt him next year. |

But he is not popular across the board. He has low approval ratings and I'm not sure why you are saying 'compared to the Republican jokers' because they may not have a 'Messiah' prepared and preordained like Obama was by Democrats, but, they have strong players like Herman Cain and Santorum though Christie could be a real big (no pun intended) big deal IF he did run. I'd say this.. IF (and we have to see how they develop yet) but IF you got a Cain-Christie run against Obama? Are you REALLY sure Obama would be safe? I'd suggest Cain sends Obama home like a Principal expelling a bad student. |

I mean, I'm not exactly losing sleep over it but the fact is it was an unnecessary execution in cold blood. It is incredibly hypocritical for Obama to preach to other countries not to violate international law when he has so blatantly done that here. |
