I don't know any Mormons that support Obama. :lol:
How many Mormons do you know?

Anyone else notice that when there is a race thread, it is populated predominantly by conservatives?
Its called building a narrative. Its always hard to admit that you lost because of your own actions, so its nice to have a few scapegoats lined up just in case.
Some of the biggest controversies of the 2012 contest could have been ripped from the headlines of that late 19th-century era, they say: Debates erupt over voting rights restrictions and racial preferences, a new federal health care act divides the country, an economic crisis sparks a small government movement. And then there's a vocal minority accusing a national black political leader of not being a "legitimate" U.S. citizen.
All were major issues during Reconstruction, an attempt to bring the former Confederate states back into the national fold and create a new era of racial justice. And many of the same forces that destroyed Reconstruction may be converging again, some scholars and historians say.

Ever hear of Harry Reid?
The people black with coal dust after the end of a hard day's work will not be voting for Obama since he wants to kill their good-paying jobs since he cannot send them overseas to bolster GM's profits to pay the UAW more than they are worth. Just sayin.....
You've graduated to the next level above drone. You have demonstrated the ability to mash different pieces of propaganda together to almost form a coherent idea. Keep working hard and soon you will almost be able to make sense, unfortunately your current achievement doesn't.
I've noticed that too many people are literally unable to talk about race without it descending into "Who's more victimized."
It's a phenomenal article, which is ironically being proven true by the very thread complaining about it.
In US history, there have only been 6 African-American Senators, and only 4 since reconstruction (3 of the 4 from the same state).
How pathetic is that?
Post-racial society my ass.
We have a duty to speak up to prevent more white people from becoming victims of racism.
getting rid of affirmative action would help accomplish that
The OP is a typical rightwing meme found on a hundred rightwing goon websites.
Here's how it works: take conservative racism, put it in a meme, project it on the "libral media", shake, and pretend you have an argument. The point is to detract from the fact that conservatives are the authors of the Wilie Horton ad, the welfare queen meme, and the rest of the dirty Southern Strategy politics used by every GOP presidential candidate since Nixon.
Fortunately, educated people are on to you
who tried to run and had the qualifications to win
Loaded question.ed Obviously in most states being white is considered a qualification for winning.
what will be interesting for the Dems is watching the impending conflict between blacks who may see dem support as an entitlement versus growing numbers of hispanics who will argue they have more numbers
What are Romney's excuses then?
The article references the first black Senator elected in 1870. His election along with other black politicians causes a backlash that resulted in 100 more years of discrimination and segregation.
There is a similar backlash now due to Obama's election. The proliferation of new voting laws, the depiction of Obama as foreign or "not one of us" mirror the Jim Crow laws and racial segregation of those times.
My definition of "playing a card" is ignoring an opponent's legitimate points in favor of attacking him for things others with similar characteristics have done in the past.
If you had bothered to read the entire article, you would have noticed that it presents arguments from both sides (including quotes from conservatives stating pretty much exactly what you wrote above). It also contains some polling data and interesting historical comparisons, whereas what you have posted is mostly vague whining. You saw a CNN piece about racism and immediately jumped to conclusions about "narrative building" because of pieces you've read in the past (after all, any piece on racism MUST have liberal propaganda and subtext attached to it. That's sarcasm, just so you know). That, to me, is the epitome of "playing a card."
