It’s really unfortunate how misinformed some people are about this election. It’s even more unfortunate that there are still so many racists in this country who can’t see past skin color. These are some real Facebook status updates (my favorites are the people who want to move to a country that supports Obama and/or is more liberal than America):
“…don’t get too excited just yet, Liberals. He won’t make it to the inauguration. Hitler gave great speeches, too.”
“_______ is dumbfounded… Who wants to move to England? We need to pray for our nation now more than ever…”
“YeP…WeRe SCREWED. I can’t WAIT 2 GIVE AL My TaX DoLLaRS 2 LaZY PeOpLe ThAt DON’T wANT 2 WORK!!”
”_________ is “were gonnna be pooooor lil white girls when obama winss looks like we need to start stripping” - AR HAHAHAHA love u !!! i love u john!!!!! MCCAIINNNN 08’!!”
“moving to Canada.. anyone coming with?”
“Fuck.. gotta move to Australia or something.”
“_______ will now be supporting a family of five that she isn’t related to.”
“Our country is now in the hands of Al-qaeda. You thought 9/11 was bad, you f*cks just wait.”
”____________ will never take orders from a muslim president.”
“It’ll be OK! He’s not completely black. He’s still half ours!”
“my favorites are the people who want to move to a country that supports Obama and/or is more liberal than America” <— No kidding, England and Canada both have universal healthcare systems?
Someone at work once told me something like how he didn’t like that Obama was going to raise his taxes to fund universal health care.
I try not to talk politics to people at work who I don’t know or don’t know me very well. But this time, I just had to say something, “What are you talking about, _____?! YOU’RE MIDDLE CLASS. I know that you couldn’t be making that much more money than I am on our pay grade scale. If you or your wife have found a way to make an extra $200,000 please let me know so that I can get in on that, too.”
