If Obama wins the democrat nomination and then loses the general election, will blacks riot?

Question

Oh please, whites don't riot.

Answer 1

Hey, if they did it just because the Lakers won...

Answer 2

That's quite a loaded question, isn't it? Riots occur because of powerful emotions with no outlets. I don't believe black Americans have identified, emotionally, with Mr. Obama. You cited the L.A. riots as an example. A presidential election doesn't carry the emotional charge of a closely contested basketball game. I would offer that the loss of an election, by any candidate, is unlikely to generate emotions powerful enough to cause riots. Take a look at voter demographics to see if your topic warrants more discussion.

Answer 3

WATCH OUT BLACK GUY RESPONDING :

1) This is a good question if its serious and not some political move --- But to answer it, NO -- We dont riot for everything.. I hate that people in this world think that and most certanly the people in this room. If he looses, and IF America really wants a Republican instead a change then.. the votes decide and thats that.

2) We WOULD riot if he were to get shot! I dare anyone to attempt his life if nominated like Robert Kennedy and its by the hands of some rasicst who doesnt want a black person as president. Make no mistake, that will be a very BAD move.

3) Im voting for Obama not because he's Biracial ( BTW- he's biracial and he's the black canidate because lets face it, its the label you precieve him as, not himself..read his books) But because of what he stands for and because he has "peaceful" ways to solve problems in this country.

4) He'll never be white enough for white people and black enough for black people HOWEVER he's the man to get the job done for ALL people .. red sates and blue states , lets stop the divide.

This intelligant prediction was brought to in part by a eduacted Black man. Yes, there are many of us out there regardless of what you bump into on the streets.

Answer 4

Who cares? The reasonable ones won't.

And this is not racist. Reverse the question: if a white candidate wins a nomination and then loses the general election, will whites riot?

Again, not the reasonable ones.

Answer 5

No, I don't think that they will considering that according to all of the polls, Obama trails Hillary in them. I think that they view Barack Obama has an interesting figure, but not seasoned enough to win the primary, let alone the election. I don't think that this country is ready enough yet to vote a black man into office, but I think we are ready for a female, and unfortunately, for good or worse, Hillary is the only female running. Personally I think that she will win though, unless the republicans can find someone better then they currently have. I would vote for Ron Paul, but he has no chance, no media is behind him except for some of the smaller, freedom presses.

Answer 6

If they riot, it will be because they've been provoked into it by idiot racists like you. We have to make the problem go away, not keep harping on the race issue.

By the way, if Ron Paul wins the nomination and loses the general election, it's far more likely that his supporters will riot. All twelve of them.

Vote for Rudy!

Answer 7

Do blacks even know that there will be a black candidate for president, I doubt they care about anything besides trying to get a white girl anyways.

Answer 8

Will whites riot if he wins?

There are sensible and nutty people of all races. Why would you single blacks out?

All blacks don't think a like nor do all whites think alike.

Answer 9

I hope not....beause that would be just as illegal, insipid & racist as if whites rioted if a white candidate lost the general election to Obama.

Answer 10

i think your assuming because their black they'd go for the black guy, like ppl think because women are women they'll go for clinton.
rOn PaUl baby!

Answer 11
