Race a factor in US presidential election - 19 May 08

Back


The US state of Kentucky has a large white working class population similar to the state of West Virginia, which Hilary Clinton won overwhelmingly last week.

In both states there's polling evidence to suggest that at least some voters are not prepared to vote for a black candidate.

Al Jazeera's Mike Kirsch travelled to rural Kentucky where he found that for some old prejudices die hard.

If I was a Republican (which I am not) I would be embarrassed that these people are "the base" of my party!

LOL Kentucky, WOW that seems like a thriving place.


There are people who are going to vote for obama because he's black, and there are people who aren't going to vote for obama because he's black.

Bush of Republican Party is at his best to have McCain succeed in the coming elections. Barak Obama of the Democrat party is already ahead as regards convincing. But the irony is that Pakistan is being made the test lab for this purpose. As Bush having hardly 50 days left for the campaign, wants someone like Osama or any of his team members dead or alive to win the US Presidential elections. They have no idea where he is but Pakistan is being constantly bombed & destroyed to win US elections.

You are so correct jennnkc. Blacks and whites alike should condemn the true culprits responsible for slavery, and that would be the people who are the richest, most powerful, most internationally connected in the world - THE JEWS!

Watch this series of YouTube videos proving jews dominated the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade. They financed the trade, owned the slaveships and the auction houses.

Then jews, who own the Federal Reserve (which prints our money and loans it to us at interest), owns all the media (which can make or break politicians), owns our politicians (jews contribute more than 50% campaign donations to both parties), and owns Hollywood (which sways public perception and opinion), jews have the nerve to blame their sins on all white people, when only 1% of the whites in the south owned slaves.

Jews pit one race against the other in their divide and conquer scheme.

". . .We (Jews) must realize that our (Communist) party's most powerful weapon is racial tension. . .While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. . ."

In 1909 jews formed the NAACP. The NAACP's first Chairman was jew Arthur Spingarn, and only Jews served as NAACP presidents from its founding until the 1970s. Joel Spingarn succeeded his brother Arthur, and following him, jew Kivie Kaplan reigned over the organization. NAACP is nothing more than a jewish funded "Hate Whitey" bitching organization.

At the same time jews framed and arrested real black leaders like Marcus Garvey, who promoted black independence.

Clinton is a imperial dragon in the KKK. She supports lynching and a return to slavery for american blacks from africa aka 'darkies'

Evelyn Kaye, who grew up in an ORTHODOX JEWISH HOME wrote:

"The mark of a truly devout Hasidic or Orthodox Jew, as well as many other Jews, is an unquestioned HATRED OF NON-JEWS. This is the foundation of the ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic philosophy. It's as tenacious, unreasoned and impossible as Anti-Semitism, racism,& sexism."
