It have been proven that Obama is a good candidate. He holds his own and have never, not once, displayed any stereotypical African-American behavior.
So it seems as if the election is already over and that there is no doubt that Obama will be president.
BUT....
What if Obama doesn't win? What if, despite of all the polls, surveys, debates, etc, McCain wins?
I predict a relapse into 1992. Obama is definitely the right candidate and all African Americans knows that so if Obama does not win, a repeat of the LA Riots of 1992 will definitely be a thing to fear. Except, instead of LA, it will be USA.
But honestly, I see some bad things happening regardless.. Racism is definitely still in effect. It is just that in today's time racist acts are not showcased cause there were a few laws that have been passed that deliver judicial consequences to those that exhibit such behavior. So obviously, unless you want to lose everything, you will keep all racist behavior on the hush. So just because racism is not evident, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
With all that said, if Obama does win I still see a relapse but this time into the early 1900s. Some of society will not be able to handle Obama as president; especially those still segregated communities. That have been proven by all of the racial remarks and peripheral that have been brought to light since the election started..
But only time will tell...

I think a lot of people would be upset if he does win but hopefully they would get over it and focus on the real issues that are facing our country.
ReplyDeleteI have that same fear too that if Obama loses, there will be a repeat of the L.A. riots (with Katrina-type looting), except it would all across the U.S. and especially in major cities with urban folks tearing their own stores and shops up, instead of protesting this wrong outcome. I hope it doesn't happen though. Hopefully everyone will realize that the issues facing our country today are what's most important and what we should be focused on.
