Inside Story - Race and the US elections - Oct 28 2008 - part 1

[indiasucksalways]

In Silicon Valley, foreigners have taken over most of the corporations and are running them. Americans used to run them but not anymore. And it's not surprising that now CA's economy is a total disaster. 3rd worlders trying to be like us but who can't.

[ducksoup2006]

i am not a US citizen who do you think is going to win? not who you want to win. but who do you think is going to win if you can feed me your input thanks

[Cameddies]

Guess you were wrong!!!! But I was the same....

[LMTClub]

great report. Go into my profile to see why it makes no difference

[factvfiction]

Obama has to eclipse the race argument to end it. There will always be the extreme dumb racist..but thet are now a minority, aren't they?

[andybowe]

Bring Aljazeera English BBC World to America and Cnn International and VOA TV to USA we live in a bubble dome it needs to be broken we need to quite Isolating ourselves. Europeans watch these channels, so why can't Americans, Comcast and others please carry these worldy channels

[philly1537]

comcast = yahoo = fox news

[dancerx09]

OMG. i love the little winky-smile thing with the pause...

barack HUSSEIN obama

GET OVER IT.

i love how racists are able to be racist against him for being BLACK and MIDDLE EASTERN. HELLO--dad from africa mom from kansas--NOTHING to do witht he middle east. STUPIDEST way to make a decision about who's leading your country. (I'm not saying these radio hosts are racists, i know nothing about their show, just ranting)

[noinlair]

Did that radio host just say...

"Our issues with Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to do with his race."

What a moron. Apparently according to redneck math a White woman from Kansas plus an African man from Kenya equals an Arab.

[NeilSagan]

This one is easy. I'm voting Obama Tuesday.

Forget for a minute how Republicans put us in the situation we are now. Then remember how McCain responded to the financial crisis, "the fundamentals are good". Then remember McCain's hair-trigger temper and impulsive decision-making. He's like Bush and his policies are like Bush. Voting Mcbush would be crazy.

[cutegual]

Obama is not black,,he is half white and half black,,so he is uniting the black and white color which is bullshit stuff we are human at the end ppl for God sake! He created as equal and we will go in equal place at the end the grave!

[hasankhalid]

i it a good news report that i have heard of in a while

[relaxedmoody]

this is funny, nothing to do with race... the funny part is when he made sure to emphasise the hussein middle name...

[QQMoreClown]

Yeah..I found that kind of funny too

[GodKillerAtheist]

Everyone is a racist once in their life its natural for every race. it might last 10seconds or 20 years. disgusting as it might be.

[yoganandarita]

godkilleratheist...wow strong name,,,,,

[FlatulenceFox]

I don't think that everyone is racist. People can certainly be prejudice at any point in their lives. But prejudice comes from a naive ignorance and it can be corrected through learning and education about others.

Racism is a willful ignorance. People choose to be racist when they have had ample opportunity to learn the truth about others yet ignore the facts about people who merely look different from them.

[mrselfrog]

My husband works in down town ATL and the population there is 60% black. He has a friend who when in a dangerous area will act crazy, ask folks for cigarettes and turn himself into "a regular black bum" I thought that was funny. The black guy who plays the black guy as a survival mechanism.

[philly1537]

true dont like the bum word though

[mrselfrog]

That's his language, not mine....

"Undecided" actually is a polite word for "Racist." :)

UNQUOTE

This is a generalization that is not based on fact. The individual may have many facts before them in making decisions. Race MAY be a factor with some: it may not be with others. Generalizations are in themselves similar to racial bias. To pre-judge" based on superfluities is EXACTLY what many thinking people realize is the root of bigotry.

There are MANY factors that go into a vote for a leader.

[EsotericDesi]

"Undecided" actually is a polite word for "Racist." :)

[dellsprospects22]

i'm disgusted to see another media outfit bringing up this racial shit, even in this day and age..i live in the south and al jazeera sure as hell doesn't speak for me..media self perpetuating racial hatred and division is exactly what the new world order wants..the truth is we're all a big mish mash genetic soup..except for a few inbred EVIL elite bloodlines

[TomMarAlem1987]

There are various races:

Black, White, Sino, 10k, 100k, Mile run, and plenty of Marathons; in Boston and Manhattan.

[venushalley]
