African Americans seemed to have learned the least, along with many minorities and whites." You must be pretty upset about the election results if you're flirting with racism. If you have a problem with Obama supporters, then just say so. There's no need to single out Black people as having 'learned the least'. "By choosing Barack, free gifts were chosen over self dependency. [etc.]" Not everyone voted for Barack based on his policies, so this isn't entirely true. They could have voted for him because they liked his personality, his lack of experience, or his message, or maybe they just didn't like McCain. Of course, these are just examples. "We already know Obama wants to change the intentions of the constitution from limiting the government to giving more power to the government [...]" While this may be true, there's no guarantee that McCain would have done anything different. In fact, by going against Republican principles and voting for the bailout because 'it was an emergency', he basically guaranteed that he WOULD be willing to reduce personal freedoms as long as he could say it was for the good of the nation. Both candidates fail on this issue. 'Give me liberty, or give me death' indeed. "Over 70% of all African American women have their children out of wedlock and prefer not to get married because it would hurt their entitlements." Nice generalization. I don't suppose you have any supporting data? "Another important ingredient in the stability of any society is the knowing of right and wrong." Are you suggesting that Obama can't/doesn't/won't know the difference between right and wrong? "[The media] are controlled by only the left and it has done tremendous harm to all of us." Everyone who loses an election blames the MSM, at least in part, for their loss. I should know; I myself supported an unsuccessful Republican candidate in the primary election. But the healing can only begin when you realize that maybe the media doesn't have it in for your candidate. Because if you follow that road to it's conclusion, you end up as a 9/11 truther or something like that. "The conclusion! We need to be re-educated, not indoctrinated as we have been!" You mention education several times in your post - specifically that 'properly educated' people (whatever THAT means) would never have voted for Obama. It's a shame that your bitterness over the election results have driven you to libel the entire Democratic Party, or at least everyone who voted for Obama. If you could, please write another post explaining what you mean by 'properly educated'. How do you think people SHOULD be educated? “The election of Barack Obama for United States president last night tells me that large segments of our society have learned little about some of the most important events of our time.

You must be pretty upset about the election results if you’re flirting with racism. If you have a problem with Obama supporters, then just say so. There’s no need to single out Black people as having ‘learned the least’.
