Would it be racist to say that "Blacks lift Obama to slim lead over McCain in poll."?

It kinda like someone in the media is saying "Darn them blacks!"

If this would be racist then wouldn't the headline on yahoo about McCain be racist as well?

"Whites lift McCain to slim lead over Obama in poll"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080912/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_ap_poll

Its like they are saying, "See, McCain is only winning because of race."

When they often don't report that 90% of blacks support Obama.

Does that mean that Obama is winning on racism. Not any more or less than McCain. Its really hard to say because people aren't even honest with themselves.

That's why playing the race card is a cheesy thing to do.

Neither of these are racist. Just your imagination.

Blacks murder more than 1,600 whites each year.

Blacks murder whites at 18 times the rate whites murder blacks.

Blacks murdered, raped, robbed, or assaulted about one million whites in 1992.

In the last 30 years, blacks committed 170 million violent and non-violent crimes against whites.

Blacks under 18 are more than 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than whites under 18.

About 90% of the victims of interracial crimes are white.

Blacks commit 7.5 times more violent interracial crimes than whites, although whites outnumber blacks by 7 to 1.

On a per capita basis, blacks commit 50 times more violent crime than whites.

Black neighborhoods are 35 times more violent than white neighborhoods.

Of the 27 million nonviolent robberies in 1992, 31% (8.4 million) were committed by blacks against whites. Less than 2% were committed by whites against blacks.

Of the 6.6 million violent crimes, 20% (1.3 million) were interracial.

Of the the 1.3 million interracial violent crimes, 90% (1.17 million) are black against white.

In the past 20 years, violent crime increased four times faster than the population.

In the last 30 years (1964-94), more than 45,000 people were killed in interracial murders compared to 38,000 killed in Korea and 58,000 in Vietnam.

In the last 50 years, the white part of the American population has declined from 90% to 72%. The U.S. now has about 33 million blacks and 25 million Hispanics (legal and illegal). By the year 2050, American whites will be a minority, just 49%. By 2100, whites will be 25% of the population.

The White race is 8% of earth's population.

That was my exact thought when I read that headline. Your question will probably be deleted because someone will be 'offended'.

*Absolutely* not - that's being racist to even suggest that.

Be aware of the pecking order - Clinton versus Biden/Edwards etc - if one of the latter did well because they received more male votes than female, the men were sexist.

Obama versus Clinton - race trumps sex. A woman who picks Clinton versus Obama is racist. The 10% of blacks who sent with Clinton are uncle toms; the 90% who blindly went with Obama are educated, sensitive, good people.

So it's a no-brainer that whites are racist to give McCain a small lead.

It wouldn't be racist, it just wouldn't be true.

Nope, since that would be stating a valid fact.

The only reason Obama is winning is because he's half African. A large chunk of voters are voting for him based on skin color.
