RACE, RACE, RACE

J Cifre, J.D.
The metamorphosis was completed yesterday, at the end of both the
North Carolina and Indiana primaries. Barack Obama has officially
become the Black candidate, and any other opposing White politician
has become the White candidate.
This process began in South Carolina and it has been steadily becoming
a reality, with Whites slowly stepping away from the Obama campaign
(figuratively) and Blacks stepping into it (literally). Latinos, on
the other hand, never even visited his camp and more than likely never
will, a factor that Democratic pundits are conveniently leaving out of
their calculations. The reasons for all of the racial dynamics of
these recent events are quite complex and can be analyzed by simply
going back to past SavagePolitics articles, and reading forward in
time (start with =93Black Voters with a Twist of Bias=93). Needless to
say, yesterday=92s results solidify this historic situation.
In North Carolina, were Obama won by 14 percentile points, he received
91% of the African American vote. In said State, the Black population
is only 22%, although within the Democratic Party they represent a
larger participatory percentage (almost reaching 45% of it=92s electoral
power). By simply looking at this community=92s obviously tribal support
of Obama, it was basically impossible that any other candidate could
have won said primary unless the Black candidate was removed from the
ballot (since White people are not voting in blocks, at least not
overwhelmingly). How much did race play into last night=92s results, and
what does this mean for John McCain and the rest of America?
In North Carolina, Whites went for Clinton over Obama in a 61%
percentile advantage, in Indiana the same voters went for Clinton in a
60% margin. As we already know, in NC 91% of Blacks went for Obama,
while in Indiana 90% of the same voters went in the same direction.
Comically, when asked by the exit pollsters if race mattered in this
race, the majority of both groups claimed by a margin of 50% (in both
States) that said considerations didn=92t matter. Among those who were
honest and admitted that race was an actual factor, the majority were
White and voted for Clinton. What is ironic (and to many ridiculous)
about this fact is that although only 7% of African Americans admitted
a racial component to their vote, it=92s 90% approval of Obama not only
mocks their contention, but it is also at odds with their other poll
answers, in which they usually regard Obama=92s capacity to run our
Nation as less than formidable.
This racial polarization, as can be easily observed, is more dramatic
within the Black community, since Whites did not overwhelmingly go in
the direction of Clinton out of race (albeit just slightly). Of
course, the fact that Obama is getting such an overwhelming RACIAL
vote from the Black community is slowly having it=92s negative effect
within the White demographic, which is starting to feel annoyed at
this fact and is beginning to also vote in blocks, albeit NOT ONLY in
the primaries but in view of the general election.
Most of those who have been watching this primary season through the
lens of the Mainstream Media do not realize that the African American
demographic in this country only constitutes a 12% of the National
population. In other words, even if all of them go to the polls in
November and vote with a 100% margin for Barack Obama, he simply CAN=92T
win the election, unless he gets a large percentage of White voters.
In addition, even if Obama miraculously received ALL Latino voters,
something that will never happen (as history has shown), he still
would be UNABLE to win a general election with them alone, since they
only represent a 14% of our population (not even combining both
communities can bring a victory for him). So, even if many of the
current African American pundits erroneously claim that they =93don=92t
need=94 the White working class vote to achieve a victory in November,
the fact remains that Obama will not win said contest unless he is
able to acquire the majority of the White vote (or at least a healthy
chunk). But how then will White voters react to all of this ethnically
charged fiasco? Will they support Obama out of their Media cultivated
=91White guilt=92?
Although history does not have many examples from which we can get a
basic understanding of what will happen, since a Black candidate is an
American first, we can certainly make some good estimations based on
what has already transpired during this season.
White DEMOCRATIC voters seem to have been voting AGAINST Barack Obama,
and not simply in favor of Hillary Clinton. This can be easily
determined by looking at how they viewed Clinton and her
trustworthiness (not very good). Another indicator is the large amount
of White voters who say they WILL NOT vote for Obama if he gets the
nomination (around 50% in both states). This, of course, is NOT out of
bitterness about their candidate (Clinton) but out of a simple anger
at the fact that the Media and the Liberal establishment has FORCED an
unprepared African American candidate down their throats. These same
voters have constantly qualified themselves in the exit polling as
=93moderate=94 and =93conservative=94 Democrats, and they all have gone to
Clinton by a margin of 70%, the same demographic that is expected
(more than likely) to go with John McCain in the general election (the
so-called Reagan Democrats), in the same manner that Black people have
=93all=94 gone to Obama, irrespective of his policy issues (not very good
nor original ones by any standard).
Of course, in this equation, most pundits are also forgetting the
Latino vote. If the Obama campaign thinks that they can somehow
convince this community that a Black president somehow means a
=93Latino=94 president, they have a big surprise coming their way. All
they have to do is look at the most recent Presidents that have been
elected in the Dominican Republic (and other Latin American countries)
and they will simply NOT find a successful =93Black=94 politician, even
after you consider the fact that the majority of their people ARE
Black. The reasons for this are simply too complex for the scope of
this article, but needless to say, the fact that even Black Latinos
don=92t consider themselves Black will give you a fair understanding of
why this has happened.
To put it another way, if Whites simply increase their =91racial voting=92
by a few percentile points, like it is already happening, then it is
simply impossible for Obama to win the White House. If Latinos
continue their large support for any candidate BUT Obama, as they have
already been doing, then Obama will lose by one of the biggest margins
in American history.
Of course, these same White voters will be labeled by the Media as
rabid racists for destroying a =93Black man=92s chance=94, but since African=
Americans are openly voting for Obama in the high 90% rank, this will
(and maybe even should) encourage a similar flooding of White voters
to the remaining candidate out of simple anger at their counterparts,
while simultaneously fulfilling their =93tribal=94 desire to keep the
highest office within =93their=94 cultural realm. This to the detriment of
the many (though small in contrast) honest and sophisticated Black
voters, who have seen Obama as the Trojan Horse that he is.
When and where have you ever seen a majority population become hostage
to an infinitesimally small ethnic minority, simply to satisfy their
RACIST wishes to have one of their own in control? Since when one
racialist act doesn=92t justify another one in response (theoretically)?
How can the African American community believe that by supporting ANY
Black candidate (that the White Democratic establishment chose for
them) in such a wide margin will not create a highly negative racial
backlash? Should White (and even Latino) America, who basically reside
within the Republican Party and the Independent block, respond with
their own brand of =91racial voting=92 by mobilizing against Obama, or
simply close their eyes to reality?
We can categorically say that it is indeed a sad day in our history,
when our election process basically becomes an ethnic contest for
power. But only the Democratic Party, and their Mainstream Media
lackeys, are to blame for this fiasco. Not only have they encouraged
this charade, and have willingly fallen hostage to this dynamic, but
they have even accepted the ridiculous argument that they somehow
=93don=92t need the White population=94 to pull off a victory in November.
Nonsensically, they have chosen to insult and mock the majority of our
Country=92s population and are somehow expecting to be respected for it
(and get their support!). Worst of all, the Democratic elite have
basically assumed that even if they lose the White House, at least
they have proven to be sufficiently politically correct to nominate
the most unqualified, inexperienced, corrupt and sleazy characters in
American history, who just so happens to be Black.
