I reside in Oklahoma in a town called McAlester. And our newspaper place Obama on the very last/back page of the newspaper and it is a disgrace. I am so shocked at all the blatent racism that has come force since the election. it is crazy..
Well, they can just get over it… he is still their president too, whether they want to admit it or not! It’s their ignorance! That just let’s you know…things are changing, but not completely CHANGED!! We’ve got a long way to go…
the people there should not buy any more newspapers god wanted president -elect obama in there and he is really the one who put him there so thank you lord
The biggest revenge is success!! I don’t know why Black America continues to get upset about the overt, suttle and/or hidden racism in America. Once we have identified the source, remove your resources (your MONEY). Money is the only thing racism recognizes. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement to modern day events, it was the lost of revenue that truly brought about change. President-Elect Obama would have had a more difficult time with out the economic fall out and that $750 million he was able to raise. Don’t get me wrong, Obama was more than qualified, but when has that ever made a difference. Stop marching and redirect your resources, work with others in your community and start your own news paper or whatever and NEVER give your money or energy back to that business or entity. Why must we continue to beg for a piece of the pie, when we created the oven that bakes the lie. TAKE BACK YOUR COMMUNITY AS I WORK TO TAKE BACK MINE. START CARING MORE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE YOU LIVE INSTEAD OF JUST PLAIN OLD LIVING!
This is truly sad. I can’t believe how many organizations are boy cotting our president. Black People all we can really do about things like this is return the favor. Stop watching them, stop supporting them or anything that their about. We’re the number one consumers. Anybody or anything we collectively stop supporting falls off. Yea we may have to go back to some of our old ways, but this to shall pass. Be strong and stick to ya guns. THEY CAN’T STOP US NOW.
It doesn’t matter what others think, the facts still remains that Obama is the new President of the USA. They will just have to deal with it.

“REDNECK NEWS PAPER”..DID YOU HERE THE MANAGER DISCUSS WHY HE DID NOT RUN THE NEWS OF MR OBAMA WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE?..WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS..WEL I KNEW THAT THEY ALL RECEIVED THE NEWS THROUGH SEVERAL RESOURCES..THE NET..RADIO..AND WORD OF MOUTH.WE ONLY PRINT LOCAL NEWS..DUMB ASS HICK!!!
U KNOW WHAT BLACK PEOPLE WE CAN NOT LET THINGS LIKE THIS GET US DOWN… THEY DON’T HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT OUR 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS BLACK… BUT THEM IGNORING HIS VICTORY IS NOT GONNA CHANGE THE FACT THAT TOGETHER AS AMERICANS WE CHANGED HISTORY… AND WHATS CRAZY IS MR OBAMA IS A SMART, NO, VERY SMART MAN AND THAT IS WHY THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DECIDED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE.. AT 47 HE HAS ACHEIVED WHAT JOHN McCAIN COULD NOT, AT A MUCH YOUNGER AGE.. SO THAT SHOULD BE PROOF ENOUGH THAT HE IS A PERSON THAT IS ABLE TO PULL THIS COUNTRY BACK TOGETHER, HE WAS NOT ELECTED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR F HIS SKIN, HE WAS ELECTED BECAUSE AMERICA BELIEVES IN HIM.. THE FACT THAT HE IS A BLACK MAN WAS JUST THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR US BLACK AMERICANS…. WE FINALLY HAVE SOMEONE IN THE WHITEHOUSE THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY WITH… GO OBAMA…..
PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER BUY THAT PAPER AGAIN, SHUT THAT PAPER DOWN, IN 6 MONTHS WHEN THE PAPER IS READY TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID TO OBAMA
I agree with ANN you hurt them where it hurts the most in their pockets. I hope they stop buying that paper and run them out of business they will see what its like not to have a job because they are ignorant.
i live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and when i heard this i was kinda speechless. and then hearing that Oklahoma was also the only state that obama didn’t win at least one county made it even worst. i had a older white lady tell me the only reason she was voting mccain was because he is against abortion. now let me make it clear that i don’t believe abortion is right but its also none of my business what another person does with her body, and the fact that this lady that told me this is around 60 years old, this issue does not affect her at all. i mean if she needed an excuse for not voting for an African-American that was the dumbest one I’ve ever heard of. my younger bro goes to Langston university which is a hbcu, most of the students had to register in logan county which is “redneckville” they somehow “lost” most of their voter registration and after they voted they informed them that their vote might not count. they also had (white) students from oklahoma state university come and “watch” the langston students to make sure there was no campaining near the poll sight. so im thinking when i graduate, i catching the first plane out of oklahoma
And Again i say how much more proof does it take to realize that most Republicans are racist. If their man had won they would be talking about who unamerican it is not to support the president. So what’s their excuse. I sat last night and watched the Atwater story on t.v . If you dont know Atwater was the head of the Republican party when George senior was president and the same racist style of campaigning that they used then is what they used againts Pres. Obama. So what does that say about the Republican party and another thing what does that say about blacks that are Republican HOW LONG CAN THEY SELL THEMSELVES OUT.
Why are you presuming that they are racist? Just because they are angry that a BIRACIAL (50% WHITE, 50% BLACK) CANDIDATE WON THE ELECTION? Maybe they are racist, but you can’t just jump to that conclusion. What if they were hardcore McCain supporters, and now they are all upset about their loss? How is that racist? It’s unAmerican, and unethical…but racist?
OBAMA’S MOTHER IS WHITE…THAT MAKES HIM HALF BLACK.
I live in Oklahoma, and I am ashamed to say that. Yes they are racist. The whole state is. That is why McCain won every county. It is really sad that people can’t get over race. I tell you Oklahoma has more rednecks and there are more prejudice people here than probably anywhere. What is really sad is that we have more poor whites that will need all the help Obama is talking about ; that voted against him because of the color of his skin. Nothing suprises me. Oklahoma has the highest female incarcarations, it is 4th in men. We still have a long way to go in Oklahoma.
GROW UP UMLAW, PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA IS NOT A MATH EQUATION TO BE DIVIDED INTO PERCENTAGES! HE IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE A BLACK MAN….AN AFRICAN AMERICAN…DEAL WITH IT….DENIAL IS A VERY LONLEY PLACE TO BE!!!
WHY YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH OBAMA’S ETHNIC MAKEUP???
WOULD IT BE MORE ACCEPTABLE TO YOUR RACIST MIND TO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT IF YOU COULD “SCIENTIFICALLY” EQUATE HIM WITH A MORE SUITABLE RACE “WHITE”???
YOU NEED HELP!!!
UMlaw,
WRONG. In America that makes you BLACK period. We don’t count in “halves” here….It’s called the ONe-Drop Rule and it has been applied since the first African women got off of the slave ships already pregnant with the White man’s child. They didn’t count in “halves” then and they don’t now. Welcome to America where ANY Black is ALL BLACK.
Who’s the racist? B.O. is only 1/2 black remember that he is white too. A fact so many don’t want to cant say. really the only thing black about him is his black father left him to be raised/paid for by whites (and other non black). face it he is more white then alot of whites. anybody thank his grandparents for not rejecting him like so many whites and BLACK do? B.O. is black by pigment only. We should thank white america for giving so many of us a chance and apologize for the ones who prove the racists correct. really we know we blame whites for things that have nothing to do with them.
would he have won if a 100% black had run against him? and we are so quick to call whites the racist?
