No, "dat" is not "true".
If the matter had been left to white voters- and in particular, to white male voters- McCain would've been inaugurated yesterday.
Among white males, McCain won by a landslide.
And we all know that.
Don't try to take credit for generosity, broadmindedness, and general "do-gooding", when we all know that whites got their asses righteously kicked by the sheer numbers of minority voters that turned out this election, thanks in large part to Obama's grassroots community organizing skills, which a smirking Palin saw fit to belittle during the Republican National Convention ("Being a mayor is sort of like being a community organizer, except that a mayor has to do actual work.")
Whites are- at least so far- "embracing what's right" by being relatively good sports about having their asses kicked; after all, they made the rules of the democratic process. When somebody bests you at your own game, the only honorable course of action is to smile and congratulate them like you mean it.
So, as I said: to an extent.
Geeze louise. :roll:
As has been said without the white vote Obama wouldn't have won. Period. Yes the majority of whites did vote for McCain. That I won't deny. But by a landslide? Bullcrap. Take a look at the exit polls...

You were saying? Compare the numbers...what does it tell you? Tells me that Obama took some votes away from the republicans. Seems to me that whites aren't nearly as racist as you think. So do us a favor and take your
when we all know that whites got their asses righteously kicked by the sheer numbers of minority voters that turned out this election
and shove it.
Racism was not a factor among whites.
