What Does An Obama Win Mean?

I think he wants to be one.

Unfortunately for him, some people will not accept a black President, others will not accept a "socialist" President (which may or may not be a justified if incorrect critique of his policies, or just general wingnuttery) and others still may be butthurt about the whole Hillary thing.

Also, some people do not want a ride on the magical unity pony.  They want to keep on smacking the fucktards who ran the country into the ground until they bleed, and then do it again if they look like getting up.  Obama's appeals for unity will not go down well with them, either.

I have been all over the US and the most racist place I have ever spent time in is Southern Michigan, followed closely by New Hampshire.

I read once that someone (no idea who) did a study and concluded that Arizona was the "Most Racist State", followed by North Dakota.

I personally think the administration would be more effective in resolving the issue of racism by first addressing the increasingly pressing class issues.

I think I can start trusting southerners when they stop referring to The Civil War as The War of Northern Aggression.

A. I'm a southerner.
B. I don't refer to it as that. I refer to it as "the war that Lincoln waged because he refused to let the Union be divided". Also "the war that really had nothing to do with slavery".

Prisons are for those who cannot exist without preying on others.

Murderers, rapists, thieves, and Halliburton execs. 

Potheads?  Meh.  All they do is sit on the couch, eating Cheetohs.

Are you saying that you think Obama will be able to be a unifying force , or just that he desires to be?  Because some of the policies that he supports, i can't see being anything other than very divisive.

One such policy would be increasing gun and ammo tax. I know many people that aren't happy at all with that.

Gun and ammo tax?
shitfuck, it says right there on change.gov that they plan on pushing forward another 'assault weapon ban'.  that's gonna piss off a ton of us.  (make criminals out of a ton of us, who won't readily comply, to boot)
How about the compulsory three month service plan they are kicking around?  that's not going to sit well with a good lot, either.

Not really sure if I agree or disagree with banning assault weapons again. Also I can't find anything about compulsory service on change.gov but I've seen it talked about on a few other sites from a quick search.

At least not from those that started it. The south wanted to be their own country, Lincoln said "Fuck you, not on my watch".

Troof. Slavery was really not the central issue in the Civil war, it was just the most powerful appeal to emotion that either side could come up with for the PR machines.

Hell, Lincoln was VERY explicit about stating that he thought that Negros were inferior and should not mix socially, professionally, or sexually with white folk, he just knew a huge pool of potential soldiers who would fight for cheap when he saw one.

Most people that i have talked to about this topic don't believe me when i tell them that there were states that allowed slavery in the union, and that when Lincoln issued the emancipation, that it didn't apply to those slaves in his country.

Hm.


History is fucked, yah know?

Kai,

Was reading A Peoples History of the United States but didn't get up to the civil war yet.
