>>1383275 1) 5 million in an election of 120 million isn't that much, it's two or three percent. The electoral votes were WAY in favor of Obama, when the popular was only a little (unlike the 2000 election where the popular vote diff was 1/10th of this, and the electoral vote diff was essentially a single state)
2)your right, hopefully black people all across america will start to actually strive instead of letting the system get them down. Black mothers can now say "son, when you grow up, you can be anything you want, even President" and it be damn true.
I'm sorry, I come from a city with a VERY large black population (so much so that if you don't include the suburbs, they outnumber the white) and everyone complains about racism. I look around and see a lot of lazy people living on welfare cause their parents never taught them any better.
I think Obama's economic policies are crap, and his military ideas are laughable, and will piss off the military, but hey, at least he gave people hope.
I kinda think that's the main reason for his victory. People didn't want him so much as they wanted the *social* change, not political change that he'd bring.
