Ok, I was reading a post by yahoo about the ncaa meeting on yahoo and a couple other sites. and i decided to look the comments... which was a very bad idea... most of the comments were racist in nature and they started the whole most black people are on welfare thing again and provided skewed stats. I glaze over the comments cause people say alot of ignorant stuff on line til you confront them directly... in other words cowards.

How ever I have been noticing more and more racial talk since we have a black president... and i hear all these names flying around about him short of dropping the N bomb.... I am starting to think that even if he succeeds and fixes the economy, race relations in the US will take a step backwards.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

PLUS!!!!...for all you anime/manga lovers i got a few links to sites where your able to read manga online for free....so if your dieing to catch up on the naruto or bleach series..or havent read death note yet then check it out...they got alot of titles to choose from.

The country isn't more racist, more ignorant people are coming out of the shadows as a result of Obama's election.

I don't think Obama's making the country more racist, it's the citizens of this country making it more racist.

i think so too... but i think they are picking up people who are on the fence not really racist... and conservatives are starting to use racist language in talking about obama... it started in the election and got worst after he won

America is no more racist than it was prior to the election, it's simply the shift in perspective that has granted a renewed boldness to bigotry and an increased sensitivity for it in all others. Same sh*t different day.

Thanks, but I'm just saying this from my own perspective. These racists are passing that kinda behavior to their children. I might not make the country more racist but it won't go away as long as there's someone to pass it on to.

I think they see the most powereful image of a black man in major leadership for the first time and it stirs up the ignorance level. All the racist jokes pour out the dumb barrel and people have a field day. I think him being in office may have unintentionally provked some idiots but they were always there just waiting in the shadows for the moment to strike.

oh i agree with that... real hardcore racist live in non mixed areas and teach their kids that black people are bad

I don't think racism is one of those things you can be "on the fence" about. Either you embrace all people as equals or you are a racist.

What middle ground?

As was said above, people are just being more bold in making their stance known.

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

maybe but what i see is that people who were political conservatives and no specifically racist starting to shift to racial talk and ideals
