    A bit of irony. I have lived in the North and now I live in the South, moved back North, moved back South. What I have seen is that in the South, blacks are treated better than they are in the North. I find that ironic, one would think it would be the other way around.

    Now back on the topic, it is all over the Twitter verse and tweets re-Tweeted that some blacks are planning to riot in the streets if obama isn't re-elected.

    There was racism in the last election, the stats show that the majority of blacks voted for obama. (If I remember correctly, it was something like 97%.)

    This time, though, some black pastors are encouraging their folks not to vote for obama based on his stance on gay marriage.

    Hold on. I know where this comes from and it's tenuous at best. Drudge Report had a link to an Infowars article that quoted a dozen or so tweets by people that are saying they will riot if Romney wins. Infowars then says there were many more, "too many to list." Once it gets on Drudge, Fox News picks it up and the talking heads start repeating this "story." (I just saw it on Hannity when I was channel surfing.)

    Just because some hot-headed people tweet something doesn't mean it's going to come to pass. Sheesh. If you go to the people's tweets that say they are going to riot there are 10X as many people rebuking them.

    It was 96%. Blacks traditionally vote Democratic. For example, in 2004 88% of blacks voted for Kerry. In 2000 90% voted for Gore. Could it be possible that the additional 8% (88% + 8% = 96%) that Obama picked up was simply because the black voters were sick and tired of Bush and weren't racist? Seems more plausible to me than to say most blacks are racist.

    And yet again Zaac refuses to answer a direct question. :laugh:

    Why would any random person on the street be able to tell me what Zaac believes an "average Black" to be?

    It is beyond ironic that someone who talks about the "average Black" would consider himself to have the moral standing to lecture others about racism. :laugh: :laugh:

    Zaac must be young, and not worked at many real jobs along black people. For 14 of 15 black people, every little inconvenience, any snub, any consequence of their own immorality or sloth is because they're black.

    I worked with quite a number of African Americans during my working days, professionals, administrators and clerical folk. I'd say the percentage that behaved as you say was about the same as the percentage of whites who whined and complained over just about everything.

    In my experience it is the Orientals complain the least.
