Will There Be Race Riots if Obama Loses?

Or even if he wins? Is it racist to ask this? If so, it’s probably racist for law enforcement to prepare for such too!

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

Hat tip: Confederate Yankee who knows where to cast the blame if this happens!

    You can thank your Democratic Party for the current financial crisis.
    The Democratic Party(through Democratic dominated organizations such as ACORN, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac and Democratic inspired laws such as the Community Reinvestment Act) intimidated banks into lending money to poor minorities and whites who could not possibly pay the money back.
    The resulting bad loans were packaged into mortgage securities which(since they were based on fraudulent loans) had no significant value.
    It is no accident Obama and Dodd are the top two recipients of Fannie Mae campaign contributions and that Obama chose Jim Johnson(former Fannie Mae executive) to select his vice presidential nominee. It is no accident Obama represented ACORN and that he and Ayers donated to ACORN while they were on boards together. It is no accident Democrats such as Frank, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi and Obama did not join John McCain when John McCain called for reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005. It is no accident Democrats like Obama, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi, and Frank resisted President Bush’s calls for reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Don’t buy Obama’s demagogic claim Bush “deregulation” caused the current crisis! There was little financial “deregulation” under Bush and Gramm Leach Bliley(1999) was not only under Clinton but, by its breaking down of barriers between commercial and investment banks, has helped to alleviate the current crisis by facilitating recent mergers between commercial and investment banks. The media and Obama can cover up the above truths but the above truths can not legitimately be denied. The current crisis is directly traceable to your Democratic Party

    My boss believes there will be riots either way.
    If he looses yes, if he wins his supporters will destroy the city the way the fans of a sports team destroys the city when their team wins.

    the dishonesty of the obama candidacy will be reviewed in later years, ans the question will be, why didn’t anyone see it?

    From comment at Link:

    Hmmm… considering that the Army just moved the 1st Bde./3rd ID to North American command for “domestic counterinsurgency” training, I’d call this a bit much of a coincidence. Is everyone ready for martial law? An attempt on the Obamassiah will bring the Obamapocalypse, leading to Obamageddon. Pay close attention: We. Are. About. To. Lose. Our. Freedom.

    Anyone who thinks there will not be riots, win or lose, is just as delusional as the those floating around on big pink fluffy clouds of Obama brand cotton candy.

    I am lily white with a sprinkling of brown spots, and I assure you, I WILL RIOT if Obama loses. If the Rethuglican party manages to disenfranchise enough voters to steal yet another Presidential election, I will one of the people leading the charge. Your side has had its chance and has driven our beautiful nation to the very brink of financial, moral, and spiritual bankruptcy. ENOUGH.

  8. James on October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm

    Those of you, especially you ziply, who want to riot after Obama the marxist, sociolist loses are the problem with this once great country. Everytime you do not get what you want you site racism. Obama is a racist, socialist liar. I am sick and tired of your racism excuse for your inept ideas. Obama is a terrorist supporting(Ayers), racist supporting(Wright), thief(Acorn) and the list goes on. I welcome your riot, you always destroy your own neighborhoods anyway. Good luck you piece of ____!

  9. MY BRAIN IS LIT on October 23rd, 2008 7:25 pm

    Dont you people get it. This is all staged for the U.S. to become a police state. It does not matter who wins this election because it is setup to fail. The media has played you on what you should think. Do the research on FEMA and Martial Law. This is all center stage for the NWO. Its so funny how everyone is divided and controlled. Divide and conquer stratagy is working great with this nation. Prepare for the end of the Democracy, the dollar and the constition. Welcome to the Illuminati’s world. Google in these key words and try to get the word out because we lost this country to tyrants when the elite bankers took control of our monatary system, the ones in-control of the Federal Reserve. They are the ones are to blame for all of this. But hey they are the smart ones and how they pull the strings is amazing and I have to give them respect. But 90% of this population is blindfolded to the facts and brainwashed into what to think. Even the controlled media is giving you hints on whats to come, Biden’s comment about a test, stocks crashing, some fabricated story about some guy carving a B in a womans face because she is a Mccain Supporter. This is all fabricated, to cause racial tensions. SO go head and riot burn stuff down and beat up any white people you see because thats what this whole election is about. For you to become slaves to the elites and the first ones to go to the FEMA camps. Welcome to Novus Ordo Seclorum the Military Police state of America.

    ziply: you riot down my street boy, I got something for you! (ò¿ó)

  11. matt on October 26th, 2008 7:41 pm

    I agree with you Brain and let me add that this election is a Historical event. If Obama wins the nation will be Divided and if there’s an assassination there will be riots, If Mc Cain wins there will be riots every US major city will burn, However my Brothers I stand ready to protect my self and my family. The Civil war is at Hand stock up now before it’s too late. If you live in a city they will come these animals have no heart no mind they were bread this way. Look at South Africa and how they rape and kill the white people that feed them. I am ready,this has been a long time coming. Clean up America which should have been done in 1863.

  12. A Black Student on October 28th, 2008 11:27 pm

    You matt, are a racist A$$H0LE! It is not the leftist liberals or the Republicans that are the problem with this country- it is the people like you: the racists, neo-nazis, and extremists. I am an African American and proud of it, but even the most republican white person would agree you overstepped your grounds. Slavery was an abomination- blacks are as human as whites are, and though I would likely NOT riot (thats right- I was born and raised a Christian, and so deplore most violence), I would be glad to see you and your compatriots hanged (or shot, or electrocuted, or poisined, or possibly even drawn and quartered). Even if you do not suffer in this life, you will be roasting in Hell for the next, and even if by some great misfortune I am to meet you there, I’ll be glad knowing you’re where you deserve to be.

  13. Nikolaus on October 30th, 2008 8:59 am

    And you Black student…the hyphonated American are part of the problem as well. You want equlity but demand to be categorized as an African – American. I am 100% American. If you really want equality give up your crutch and become 100% American. Multiculturism will not join us as a country. It never has. Obama is not the right candidate, nor is McCain. The problem is the lot of them needs to be thrown out so we may clean house.

  14. JB on October 30th, 2008 10:58 am

    Obama will finally bring Reparations to us Blacks for slavery, and expand affirmative actions. I hope my check is a big one, but I still don’t know if the whites have paid enough for slavery. More affirmative action will help make sure my Black children have jobs, and my Reparation Check will help pay for their education. White people have always had it good; it’s time for change.

  15. MS on October 30th, 2008 2:42 pm

    Theres no doubt about it that McCain is going to win!!!! I’m am considered to myself to be completly indipendant, I mean really I would never cast a vote towards a bunch of corrupted people, who want nothing more than a power trip! I’m sure that 7 out of 10 people will vote for Obama no doubt, he could win the popular vote as well, but it all depends on the electoral college. If they believe that the nation has chosen wrong, then why the Hell do they even have him in the campaign at all!?!?!?! Government really does counterdict themselves to oblivian!

  16. Bryan on October 30th, 2008 3:23 pm

    Hey JB. You aint gettin paid s&*!. Get off of your [edited] and get a job and perhaps you could have it good also.

    I know everyone is sick of hearing the name Joe the plumber right now and I am no exception but there were things left out of that conversation that should have been said. When Obama said that his goal was to give the people that helped Joe the same chances Joe had and helped him get to where he was now, well I submit that they already do have those chances. Let those people work their [edited] off, get an SBA loan secured by their house to start a business risking everything they have just like I did. Or is it easier to just collect a check every month? I don’t know.

  17. Richard on October 30th, 2008 3:28 pm

    JB,
    As a white man who had nothing to do with slavery, how do you expect me to react to comments like yours? Punish me for something I had nothing to do with? Reward you for something you had nothing to do with? You and people like you are whats wrong with this country. Have some dignity for god sake, and stop blaming everyone else for your problems. Divided we will fall.

  18. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:33 pm

    Just pay your reparations for slavery.

    It’s the Black House now.

  19. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:38 pm

    Racism is alive and well, and it is white folks that keep perpetuating it. You all need to take steps in showing us Blacks you are sorry. Start with putting Obama in the House, pay your reparations and give Blacks a chance to have the same opportunities as you. The only way to make it equal is to spread the wealth, so Blacks can go to good schools and have the same health care. It is not equal, but there IS a change comin.

  20. Bryan on October 30th, 2008 3:38 pm

    Well, thats one hell of an argument JB. Where can I send the check?

  21. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:41 pm

    Send your check to NAACP.

  22. Bryan on October 30th, 2008 3:46 pm

    Consider it done. I will send it out tonight. So, now you have nothing to complain about right?

  23. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:48 pm

    Send your check to the New Black Panther Party.

    If you don’t think Obama is going to help us brothers and sisters out, see the Black Panther party advertised on the Obama campaign webpage: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/new-black-panther-party-supports-obama.

  24. Bryan on October 30th, 2008 3:51 pm

    JB, you are really white aren’t you?

  25. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:51 pm

    Keep sending the checks. I will let you know when to stop.

  26. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:57 pm

    Yeah. I’m white. I’m tired of these arguments from the other side (and I have heard these comments from actual blacks at work).

    Are we really going to have to pay reparations? Does any one have an answer?

    Isn’t affirmative action a euphemism for reverse descrimination?

    My friend went to be a fire fighter but lost his opportunity to a black who scored lower on the physical and written tests. Tell me, when is descrimination (against anyone) ever the answer?

  27. JB on October 30th, 2008 3:59 pm

    GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

    May we all have equal opportunities, some day.

  28. Bryan on October 30th, 2008 4:06 pm

    Well played. I began to suspect after you used the word “folks” on the “Stop the ACLU” web site but it is difficult to tell sometimes.
    Affirmative action IS politically correct discrimination but to answer your question on whether or not discrimination is ever the answer…the answer is yes. Sometimes it is. That isnt to say that you shouldn’t help someone of any race in need but it does set boundaries that people can see. It can be a useful tool to hopefully show people where they are going wrong because they come to the realization that they have been pushed aside. In this situation they will either move farther away or change for the better. It shouldn’t ever be a permanent mindset however and discrimination doesn’t ever (to me anyway) mean because of someone’s race, it should be used against someone’s actions or character.

  29. Nikolaus on October 30th, 2008 11:18 pm

    JB lol. Do well on my paycheck? Dream on. I’m a contractor that will go back to working under the table just to keep my foot on your back a lil’ longer.

  30. Nikolaus on October 30th, 2008 11:29 pm

    I’m just kidding about the foot on the back. I’d rather stick my foot up some lazy [edited]. I’m not rich as a small business owner, but why should I look forward to giving more money to people that don’t give a hoot. I’d rather hire more guys and pay the ones I have more. Socialism is socialism. You can try to hide it with pretty words like fear mongering but in the end it is still socialism. Slap an Obama supporter today. Do it for your country, or watch them destroy us.

  31. JB on October 31st, 2008 6:36 pm

    Here’s an oversimplification of your future opportunities:

    Obama: will give you a hand-out (welfare check) for not paying income taxes… how much does it increase my net? Don’t know. Sounds like Obama will allow government to determine how ambitious I can become, and cap my American Dream.

    McCain: will give you a hand-up (child credit, plus lower taxes for businesses) to make sure you have a job or can create one for someone else. How much does it increase my net? Depends on my ambition and scope of my American dream.

  32. Stacy on November 1st, 2008 8:05 am

    I dont understand why people would riot if Obama loses,but that scares the crap out of me and I think it’s childish why cant everybody just be respectful to eachother?
    And why do white people still have to pay for slavery that was soooo long ago?

  33. Roy on November 1st, 2008 7:51 pm

    It’s about time the race issue became front and center. It’s always been hanging in the background. Problem is it’s the blacks that are the more racist. Otherwise why are all the polls indicating that they will overwhelmingly to the tune of 90+% vote for Obama. I would have voted for Colin Powell, not because of his color but because of his policy positions. Obama is a child and is not fit for command. Don’t anyone try to deny it. This election IS about race and anyone that thinks differently has to have living in the stone age.

  34. YTY Cracka on November 2nd, 2008 5:57 pm

    There will be race riots whether Obama wins or loses.

  35. wildflower22900 on November 3rd, 2008 9:15 am

    What we all need to realize, it isn’t “white” people or “black” people that need to be taken care of, it’s the “racist” people. Not all white people hate black people, and not all black people hate white people. This is so stupid, and people who do riot and harm innocent people because their pissed is morally wrong. Everyone is wanting a racial war and I’m sick of it. OBAMA is not BLACK, and he’s not WHITE, he’s BI-RACIAL, we should be uniting for once, instead of making this a racial election. The whites and the blacks need to LET THE PAST GO. For the African Americans, this generation of white people did not do those horrible things to you in the past, our ancestors did, and for the whites, the south will NEVER rise again. Slavery will never happen again as it should have never happened in the first place. Martin Luther Kings dreams will never become a reality because we have racist idiots like some of you on here spreading your hate. I really don’t believe our Lord will let the world continue like this much longer.

  36. Not After Your Mony (gasp) on November 3rd, 2008 12:33 pm

    You guys are so full of pathetic fear. The whole McCain camp has filled your hearts with it. You have heard a few people say a few stupid things and now think all black people are out for reparation….there are too many of us working hard. I myself am in grad school and would cut my eye out before I groveled for a check from you. There are toooooo many successful people out there who didn’t need {omited} that you have to get where they are…thank ya. See….when you start putting dumb blanket statements over all black people, it makes me angry. Do you really think that white people who make up over 70% of the overall population are all of a sudden gonna wake up and find themselves broke and in want? Would you really be sorry enough to let that happen? Let go of the fear and stop being so easily manipulated through scare tactics. It is really sad. lol. I don’t need anyone else to get mine.

  37. Not After Your Mony (gasp) on November 3rd, 2008 2:22 pm

    Haha . Take a look at this:
    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,974473,00.html
    Kinda puts a kink in your argument. Not all black people are crying for or needing your help.

  38. Not to worry on November 3rd, 2008 5:07 pm

    knocking a few windows out and burning a few cars is dumb and it certainly doesn’t scare my people. Get real bold and bring it straight to us.

  39. Significant on November 3rd, 2008 10:20 pm

    JB… I am not racist, my kids are half black. Just to start things off right. Moving on from there if you haven’t noticed everything good, and some bad has been because of white people. The only modern society in Africa is SOUTH AFRICA because of white people. The whole continent of Arica is a is a waste.. Why? Because you eat your own! You have had 15,000 years to learn aggriculture, and how to develop a positive society. But it’s like you guy came out of trees, decided that you could make fire and use tools like spears and such and just stopped evolving. Affirmative action is just a way of saying “we are not good enough”.. Anyway self respecting BLACK man would not admit that and rise above it. Educate yourself

  40. dek on November 4th, 2008 7:25 am

    JB, how does one know when they lost have lost a job or college slot due affirmative action? Do personnell departments and college admissions send out letters saying< “We gave the job you were entitled to as white person to the black guy”? Or do some people assume that if a black person has anything it must have been taken from a white person??? Stop being ignorant.

  41. Johnny P on November 4th, 2008 8:29 pm

    So are they gonna kill whites even Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Eli Manning, Larry Bird, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Dominic Hasek, Roger Clemens, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr and others to name?????? Just wonder…

  42. Jenn on November 7th, 2008 3:44 am

    I believe that the black people in the commmunity have been turning everything into RACE THIS AND RACE THAT , even when I went to the grocery store tonight!!! That’s nall I heard from African Americans, and I was so pissed!!!

    That is ridiculous, and they should know all they are doing is disgracing the president elct, Barack Obama!

    He ran for presidency to UNITE us , not seperate us.
