Like was said above, now we can take a full accounting of those we associate with and cut them out of our lives post haste. Snipping mine. Yeah, that was me too. It was really ugly how many of my friends (and I have about 3700 of them on there) had status’ that were racial. I actually saw people who were friends with one another yelling and calling each other names on the status update reply thingie. Lots of people defriending each other and saying a lot of racist stuff. One friend of mine put her status as “I voted Obama” and out of nowhere another of her friends was like “I hope you rot in hell you leftist bitch”. This was just one case out of about 20 I saw. It’s pretty bad. I don’t really expect Obama will survive his terms. The hate level is just wayyyyy too high..and for every person you do hear about or see, there’s about ten that you don’t. ---

Jesus, that’s disgusting, **Dung Beetle**.☹ The worst I’ve gotten (and the only, thank God) is a text messages saying Attn: All white people are to report to the cotton fields tomorrow morning for orientation. I told my husband to tell the relative (his) who sent it that I do NOT appreciate racial comments and jokes. (I don’t have free texts, either!) ---

Sigh. It’s reprehensible but not unexpected, sadly. Whenever change happens there’s some amount of backlash. Racists just lost big time, of course they’re going to be frothing at the mouth. And a lot of that kind of hatred is based deep down on fear, so you can even feel a bit sorry for them for that, if you can bring yourself to. ---

Supposedly, the messageboard for the neo-Nazi group that invaded the Dope a few years back, has been hammered hard in the past few days. They’re all supremely terrified that Obama will run this country into the ground. ---

I got this in an email yesterday from someone I know who lives in the US > [@](#): > > Yeah, THEY ( OTHER VOTERS ) elected Obama, but won’t be Any Hurry to get Guest Room ready, he says he’s going to " Divide The Wealth ", take from the Rich & give to the Poor, but the Blacks & Mexicans get the FIRST checks, so may be awhile before I get mine, IF I do ? Will have to wait until I get my BIG check before I can afford to come, but will be Sure to let you know > > Seriously, maybe ( ? ) it’ll be OK, but he’s been raised in a MUSLUM home, school, etc. & he quit the Church because his Preacher, where he went for 20 years, got on camera & was bragging about Hating White’s & bragging about how Great Muslums were, then Obama " claimed " > he’d Never Heard any of this even though he’d been a member for 20 years, Yeah, Right. This guy even had people arrested for criticizing him during the campaign, ( no threats, just criticizing him ) ,gives you an idea what kind of guy he is, he’s already Named a Muslum to one of the Top Cabinet Posts, I’ve had a lot of emails from him in the past so I already knew he hated punctuation and the English language, but we’d never discussed politics before, and now I hope we never do again. ---

> [@ZebraShaSha](#): > > A lot of middle class white folks believe that the government, or The Man, gives out a bunch of hand outs to people cause they are black. They feel they are the target of racism, or reverse racism, and life is unfair, something something, welfare queen. “My life wouldn’t suck if the Government stopped giving that black man a free sandwich!” > > Not kidding, I have vast experience with this, both with my parents and my close friends over the years. Oh, yeah, I already know that (Lord knows I’ve heard white folks complain about it long enough). But thanks, anyway. And that “free sandwich” thing cracked me up. What I was really trying to say is that, since I don’t know of any government program that exists for the benefit of only blacks, I’d be asking the folks that \*\*\*\*DiosaBellissima \*\*\*\*referenced exactly which programs they were talking about. IOW, programs like, say, Section 8, were established to assist not black people, per se, but \*low income \*people (all of whom, intelligent people know, are not black). Even then, though, I figured that hey, I don’t know everything, and maybe there \*is \*(though unlikely) some government “hand out” program from which only blacks are allowed to benefit, and perhaps there are some Dopers out there who can set me straight…er, right…er, can properly inform me. ---

Just in my limited experiences down in the Wayne State area of Detroit, there has been a lot of racial goodwill on both sides around here. It’s a honeymoon period, sure, but I’m enjoying it while its lasting. ---
