. . . in all those crown shots. You'd think that it would dawn on some of them that something was not quite right, that there are other people in the country besides whites.

There have been hundreds of photos of Romney supporters that are mostly white but have two or three minorities strategically positioned for the camera. These photos didn't even have any of those. It's nothing to create a big deal about me pointing that out.

And yes, I'm white, although a little dark because of Native American DNA.

It seems like a lifetime ago, but my GF at that time was a reformed repig-voter (I reformed her ) who still got invited to repig events because she had done poll-watching work for them (and saw their vote-crimes in front of her face, but that's another story)

We went to the Lazio "victory party" at the Hilton on 6th Avenue (NYC) for the free booze/food.

The tears flowed long and hard, and were delicious to drink.

..about those photos is how many women and older voters are taking Romney's loss so hard. Newsflash to those two groups: IT'S A GOOD THING ROMNEY LOST, ESPECIALLY WHERE YOUR FUTURES ARE CONCERNED.

How do they still not get it? (Other than because they've probably been watching nothing but Fox News this election cycle, I mean.)

Ours and our neighbors households - two of white people that are celebrating Obama.

I am trying hard to understand the vast majority of my neighborhood.

Of course, it would be racist to do it to any other ethnicity, but white people - who cares, they're white.

How some people don't choke on their own hypocrisy baffles me.

Arguably, these people are political opponents who have been spending the past year attacking the "47%".
They were rooting for a corrupt, crooked wannabe businessman who couldn't run a state, let alone a national campaign.
They made this, or at least pushed the Romney-Ryan campaign, to make this a color-vs-white campaign. They were calling us dupes, anti-white, anti-colonial, pushing conspiracy theories about Obama's birth, welfare recipients, and on and on.
Is it our problem, (or for the matter, the Tumbler blogger) if the vast majority of his supporters are white? Or, more accurately, white racialists? How many of them were actually voting because they liked Romney-Ryan? 1%? 10% 2%?

If you look at it from a racial angle, you could make a slightly weak argument that Romney-Ryan white supporters were race traitors, or as we black folk say, slave catchers. They supported a candidate whose known policies would have done a LOT of damage to the lives of white people across the spectrum. Who knows how bad his real/secret policies would have been?

I remember feeling the same in 2004. It was not fun. I can't help but feel a bit sorry for them. They really don't know better.

Sure enough, Obama will hold a press conference sometime soon to declare, "Mwa hahah, I've been the Antichrist all along!"

Now to claim my free stuff that they keep talking about!
