@bardicverse: it's a joke.

 

You miss the point - while this was a joke, its actually quite the example of what WAY too many people focused on in this election - race. I'd prefer the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., where  a man could be judged by the integrity of his character, not the color of his skin. While Pres. Obama is a bright man, too many people wouldn't even scratch the surface to get to that level, and could see no deeper than his flesh. Both sides are guilty of this.

What the hell are you talking about?  If you're in the minority race you'd root for your race to win too.  There's pride involved there.  It's plain and simple, really.  You can't take that away from the collective subconscious, no matter how `logical' you construct your arguments to be.   The fact of the matter is while character and integrity and all those fine concepts would be nice to idealize what should compose winning characteristics, people are mostly dominated by preprogrammed instincts and culturally ingrained programming.  What is ideal only exists in mathematical equations.

 

If there's truth in your words, then the only thing I can hope for is total destruction of the world, for every single person deserves to die. When you cannot use logic to overcome pride, then there shall forever be hatred inside of you. If everyone is made of this same construct, then death to every human being is mandatory, as we've all been corrupted with hate.
