I’m actually 1st??? Wow!!!
Well thank goodness all white people don’t think like that cause there’s no way Obama wins without considerable support from White people.
1st
Congrats The Bear!!!!
Whateva!!!!!
Just teasing ya… Thanks!!!!
Obama is the man
A bit sad. Hopefully enough people will actually confront ignorance with facts.
You can see the hate in their eyes when his name (Obama) was mentioned. Who says racism doesn’t exist, it certainly does in West VA.
and to see clinton happy that these people voted for her??????????????common and how dare she speak on bringing people together…she can basically kiss ma ass……and anybody that claima to be intelligent enough should know better…………….shame on you clinton……..and the clinton backers…..
Wow…. I was honestly left speechless watching that, never anywhere have I ever seen so many people come together for one common good and these people from West VA are totally clueless… This is what Hillary was feeling all victorious for?… Im glad that Barak got John Edwars to endorse him and steal her shine, just by watching this video she is clearly not justified to anything. I guess this is what they always talk about on the news; middle class, non-college, white voters are all for Hillary… Obviously they cant see the iminent change ahead… O-BA-MA!… YES WE CAN!
RACISM EXISTS IN ALL 50 STATES, AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. BUT THE SAD THING IS SOME OF OUR OWN PEOPLE THINK THAT IT STILL DON’T EXIST….BUT IT DOES MISS NEW JERSEY AKA VIDEO CHICK, WHO STATED BLACK MEAN AND WOMEN WHO CAN’T CUT IT IN THE REAL WORLD ARE ALWAYS QUICK TO BLAME THE WHITE MEN, WHEN ITS THEIR OWN FAULT FOR NOT HAVING A GOOD JOB, AND THAT ONLY INGNORANT PEOPLE SAY THAT RACISM EXISTS..i CAN NAME PLENTY THAT HAVE HAPPEN IN YOUR OWN CITY
I was waiting for someone to call him the N word.lol The sad part about this is these people believe what they are saying. SMH at the dumb lady who 1st stated we need an American born president.WTF she felt stupid when she found out Obama is US born then she tried to hide behind his religion. Last time I check religion shouldnt matter..that is unless you live in the backwoods and married to your cousin. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
I HATE ignorant people! I know there is still a lot of racism in this country I can only hope & pray there are enough intelligent people that ote for Obama. And for the idiots that say they either won’t vote or will vote for McCain I just SMDH at that stupidity!! I guess they want Bush all over again.
Stop referring to white women as white “ladies”. That was a term used by blacks referring to their bosses/masters/employers. A “lady” has to do with a certain type of behavior. I have noticed that they same people to called whites ladies call Blacks women. They never say Black lady only use this term when they are speaking of whites. WTF?
It is just all so sad. It just shows that we have not come as far as some believe we have. I just pray that this movement will continue and that the change is ahead. With visualization and committment to his objective I am sure that Obama will be in that white house! Its like they always said if you have any black in you then you are nothing more than a N****! This man encompasses what this country is suppose to be about. The melting pot, the American Dream, and all of that which is a part of why our generation identifies with him so.
Obama’s mama is white but these people don’t even consider that. He’s a Harvard Law graduate, a professor, and a senator, but one of those Hungry Hippos said he didn’t know the Pledge of Allegiance and isn’t a hard worker. GTFOH! Hillary is going down…Go Obama!!
I am amazed at how vocal they were. The only thing that was held back was using the N word. The same people that are in WV will be voting this coming Tues in Kentucky. They have never elected any black officals. It is truly said that Hillary is boasting and bragging about winning these too states. It really should come as a surprise because she is the main one who keeps reminding people of the color of his skin. I fear this will spread a lot further than Kentucky and West Virginia.

Its so sad to see such racist unintelligent TRASH!!
Well, this is how many white people, especially those who are disenfranchised, feel about black people, even ones (some would say especially ones) who have a white mother. I am actually afraid if Obama does indeed become president, Blacks will experience increased discrimination. Many whites may begin to feel that they must “put Blacks in their place”. While I do empathize with Obama because I understand what he is going through (I too have been discriminated against for being a good-looking, sophisticated AA) I must say that Black men learn hard, and white people are determined to teach them that they are not valued or respected. It’s strange how much venom and anger they express towards Black women, but with white people? No courage at all.
Wow, what century are we in again? And to think, I was actually considering voting for Clinton.
Wow.. how ignorant one can be. I cant believe what these people say. Im sorry but clinton is not for these people, sure she is happy to win, who wouldnt?!
These people just dont have the education to see, that a person cant do anything about its origins but he can do something to be a good person. Im a democrat and I vote for clinton, if she loses ill vote for obama of course!!!!!!!!!!!!
You all are the ignorant ones if you can’t see whar is going on. Obama will never become president and because misinformed citizens, like yourselves, have allowed the media to control and manipulate you you have vilified Hillary. She didn’t brag about these idiots voting for her, she was quoting an article from the AP. And these idiots make up a large percentage of the American population. Only 27% of the total population have an advanced degree, so you figure it out. He needs their votes to win.
This is what I expect from inbreed people. Decreased mental capacity.
white people needs to stop blameing every race for their problems because its not fair how the world has been controled by them for this long white people is the reason why all this shit is happing to us americans right now i mean for years this shit has been going on think about how many black people go to war over seas just to protect their tailer park asses I DONT GIVE A DAMN WHO GETS MAD AT ME FOR SAYING THIS IT’S 2008 WE DONT NEED ANYMORE WHITE PEOPLE CONTROLING THIS FUCKING WORLD AND OH YEH KISS MY BLACK ASS BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES WEST VIRGINA ANYWAYS AND YALL WONDER WHY YALL SO POOR SHUT THE FUCK AND MOVE YALL TAILERS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARK
shame on hillary for using these folks as an example of the white working class….i live amongst the white working class and the views of these people are not shared by everyone…a lot of white people see barack for what he is an intelligent man who can bring about change as no other president before him has been able to…it’s sad that she has used every tactic she could to win…including constantly bringing race into the fore front…she has shown her true colors and that’s why it’s over for her…
Yes We Can!!!!
Some people can be so ignorant. It’s that same ignorance that has this country in the position it is in right now.
So very glad I don’t live in West VA. By the sounds of it, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they were still LYNCHING us down there.
WHAT YOU EXPECT, THERE SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS, THERE STILL LIVING IN THE COLD MOUNTAIN,JONNY APPLESEED,BLUEGRASS PLAYING ,RACCOON HAT WEARING AGES, CRAZY, REAL TALK WHY DID THEY PUT THE SLOW BLACK PEOPLE ON VIDEO, THATS F’D UP HAHA
YES WE CAN
shooo
I am not surprised about this modern day type of racism. Most white people think black people should stop complaining about slavery. However, as you can see by the video slavery has not stopped it still continues to exist, its just in another form. Political slavery
The same ignorance shown in West Virgina is the same ignorance I see here on bossip. Some of you guys are just as racist.
Woooooow!!! I’m literally speechless! I have never seen or experienced blatant racism…only subtle stuff when growing up! This just proves that black americans have not progressed as much as we think we have in equality here in the U.S. We are still very much revered as sub-intelligent, second-class humanbeings to a more superior White race. I’m just in shock! Like really I don’t know what to say or how to respond right now!
I had a friend who built a house in WVA years ago and when I’d go visit, I was like “why”, “why here”? Okay, it was dirt cheap, but it seemed like another world to me because the people seemed sooooo backwards and country…and racist. I’m not surprised at the ignorance, they’re just PWT hillbillys. *shrugging* Thank God my friend finally sold his house and rejoined civilization!!
Actually IM GLAD that Bossip posted this primarily because I happen to be of the belief that I can trust you more when I know where you truly stand. This shouldnt be a shock to anyone. Some people just hide their true feelings BETTER. I think white folks are more concerned with not APPEARING RACIST. Thes folks from WV tellin you they just dont give a darn what it looks like. They are racist and AT LEAST thyre honest about it.
Blacks have voted for whites all these years…why can’t they look at the contents of this man’s character and not the color of his skin?
This just baffles me
BTW, Barack is 50% white and raised primarily by his WHITE Mother. His Black father was not even in his life - typical. So you f-in retards from WV should vote for this man becuase even though he has an olive complexion he still has a white mind.
I apologize to anyone I offended in my last statement but I meant to say is that Barack has a stronger caucasian background since he was raised primarily by his WHITE Mother….and since he also has African roots, I guess he has the best of both worlds.
My marriage is 15 years strong. I think it’s silly for people to call O’bama black when he is 50% white 50% black / bi-racial. I’ll be damned if my kids are only black!
You people are obviously imbeciles if you think that these people are speaking for the whole of West Virginia. If you want racists, look at conservative Republicans, not Democrats that are only voting for Clinton. You closed minded idiots evidently just want something to complain about since Obama didn’t win. Well, boohoo think of a better reason to whine, cause if you can’t think of something a little more structured and in-depth than race for why Obama didn’t win, then you’re not even paying attention to the policies and ideals that each candidate is standing for. Or are you just supporting him because he’s part black? I’m not against Obama, I’m against foolish morons like you people who want to cry RACISM just because a small, mostly rural state didn’t give him the majority vote. If West Virginia was that ignorant, then they wouldn’t have voted for a WOMAN either. So, get over it.
MOST people from West Virginia are a bunch of uneducated, ignorant, and inbred fools. Whoever wrote that when you’re there it’s like you’re in another world was exactly right. The thing is these people are actually harmless. I didn’t grow up in WV but am a graduate of Marshall University. I was treated like a celebrity there becuase I was an athlete and the white girls flocked to me becuae of my status. I think what it is mostly is not that they’re actually racist and know it, but they are racist due to not knowing it. What I’m trying to say is for the fact that the state is almost 100% white people they are uneducated in the world of diversity and therefore come out as being more racist than they really are because they just don’t know. In fact, there were a few people I met at the University that told me I was the first black person they ever seen in their life. I never felt threatened one time in the four years I lived there. I was actaully place on a pedestal for being black.
LOU IN THE CHI,I COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF
“My marriage is 15 years strong. I think it’s silly for people to call O’bama black when he is 50% white 50% black / bi-racial. I’ll be damned if my kids are only black!”
-According to whitey, if they robbed a liquor store, who you think the cops looking for????????
A “biracial suspect”? Stop it. Your kids will learn to fluctuate between being black and white when convenient and or suitable.
- - and his name is not O’bama. He is not a leprechaun.
Please, I highly doubt you were placed on a pedestal for being black. West Virginians are not the uncultured inbreds that Hollywood portrays them to be. Generalizing in the way that you are is no better than being racist.
@ANON Uhh, were you watching the same vid clip that I did? Granted they only spoke with a few so we can’t generalize, but this woman said that the fact that Clinton and McCain could sing the national anthem makes them more viable? Policies?? Then you say ‘If West Virginia was that ignorant, then they wouldn’t have voted for a WOMAN ..’. Was there someone else running that I’m not aware of? Come on dawg you sounding real corny right about now…
THE FACT THAT RACISIM STILL EXISTS IN AMERICAN DOES NOT BOTHER ME THAT MUCH. WHAT BOTHERS ME, IT THAT THE WHITE, UNEDUCATED PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN, WHO DOESN’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS ABOUT THE, THAN VOTE FOR A MAN WHO WANTS TO MAKE AMERICAN BETTER FOR ALL OF US. JOHN MCCAIN IS MORE INTERESTED IN AN ILLEGAL WAR FOR OIL (YES, OIL PEOPLE!) THAN THE POOR, PATHETIC WHITE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA. YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR GEORGE BUSH (OIL MAN), WOULD HAVE LEARNED THEIR LESSON BY NOW. JUST PLAIN SAD:(
Corny is irrelevant. And yes, I watched the same clip. But, like you said, they only spoke to a FEW people. So, since they spoke to a few, then that automatically means that the state of West Virginia is nothing but ignorant, racist inbreds? And as for my statement about the woman, yes I retract that now, I didn’t use it in the correct context. And as for the guy’s statement about WV being almost 100% white, that is pure idiocy. The black to white ratio in WV is no different than Indiana, Ohio, or Virginia. In fact, Huntington, where Marshall University is located, is actually 1/4 black. And as for your allegations of white females ‘flocking’ to you, I’m sure you had just as many black females ‘flocking’ to you for your holier than thou athlete ’status’.
God(please)Bless America. Forgive them father for they know not what they do. Its halarious(not really) because I’m starting to think the only way to get the Republicans out of office would be for Hillary to win. Hillary really needs to do some soul searching if she loses the nominee because she has to put all her pride aside and tell all her supporters that Barack can do the job. Can you believe that someone will change party affiliations!! Just so a Black man wont be president??? wow
Just goes to show nothing really every changed since the first slave ships came over. The West Virginians in the video clip stated that they don’t know anything about Barack. They choose not to. They’re so close-minded. Then the stupid chick at the diner said we need someone who was born here. I don’t know many political rules, but I believe you have to be born here or at least be a citizen here for a certain number of years to run. How stupid is she? I wonder if those people know that there’s something called the internet. It been out for some time now. Wait up, they probably don’t even know what a television is much less cable TV. They probably still tuning the radio dial lookin for Amos-n-Andy.
@Shavon
If Obama gets the nod, she has already stated that she would support him 100%. She will be planning her bid for 2012 because after 4 more years of Republican(which it will be when Obama gets the nod)we will be clamoring to vote for her.
Anon,
West Virginia is about 97% “Caucasian”, that’s pretty close to 100. Do some research.
Actually its 94.9% caucasian according to the 2000 census. But same difference
Anon shut the hell up we don’t need you to tell us a damn thing about Obama nor this election we have enough intelligence to make our own educated decisons on who we are going to vote for. Obama is far more than just a black canidate but obviously you being the idiot you are listening to media tell you that black people are not capable of making a decision about who we want as our next president. Yea he’s black, but he is also smart and poised, he is a leader, he’s calm under pressure and unlike you IDIOT he actually gives people credit to have the minds to make their own decisions. I’m sure your white, white people seem to think we need their guidence all the fucking time. NEWSFLASH we don’t think you fools are smart look at the mess this country is in. Done all by white folks from the looks of things you just don’t seem to smart to busy being racist against every other man in civilation.
I JUST MOVED TO CHARLES TOWN WEST VA. I’M ORIGINALLY FROM BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I FEEL EMBARRASSED AND ASHAMED TO EVEN LIVE IN THIS STATE. I WAS ANGERED BY THE ACTIONS OF THESE WHITE PEOPLE HERE. WHEN THE ELECTIONS CAME THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS WERE OUT IN FULL FORCE WITH THEIR SIGNS CHANTING AND GIVING THUMBS UP TO DRIVERS THAT HONKED THEIR HORNS IN SUPPORT OF HERE. I SAW A FEW WHITES WITH OBAMA STICKERS ON THEIR CARS AND SIGNS ON THEIR LAWN. IN MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL THERE IS A POSTER POSTED ON THE WALL WITH ALL THREE CANDIDATES AND OBAMA’S FACE HAS A BIG RED X ON IT. DON’T GET ME WRONG PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHOMEVER THEY CHOOSE, BUT ITS WHY THEY VOTED FOR HILL AND WHY THEY WOULDN’T VOTE FOR OBAMA AND STILL WON’T VOTE FOR HIM WHEN HE WINS THE NOMINATION THAT UPSETS ME S0. HILLARY KNOWS DAMN WELL THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE RACIST, BUT YET SHE PRAISED THEM FOR THEIR RACIST VOTE. I GUESS SHE WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN. HOWEVER I CAN SAY THAT I HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED ANY RACISM YET. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE MORE SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE OBAMA IS BI-RACIAL AND THIS STATE HAS A LOT OF BI-RACIAL PEOPLE IN IT . YO, I’VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY MIXED PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE, ITS BANANA’S! BLACKS MAKE UP 3% OF THE POPULATION HERE. OH BY THE WAY WE NEED SOME MORE BLACKS OUT HERE. BECAUSE IF SOMETHING JUMPS OFF WE ARE OUTNUMBERED. EVERY TIME WE SEE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE ITS LIKE SEEING AN OLD FRIEND, WE HUGGING AND GIVING FIVES AND WHAT NOT AND WE DON’T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER.
To Anon… you have the nerve to call these people on here racist after they just heard video clips of poor trash saying in essence they would rather vote republican then for a n****!!Get your facts straight actually a state can have more whites then blacks, like pennsylvania who clinton won. You are missing the whole point like so many of you white people do.These people are not mad because Obama didnt win you idiot!!Those narrow minded, ignorant, dumb ass people are giving every reason but a good one why they would never vote for Obama.They are commenting on that… dont nobody give a damn if he didnt win their racist ass vote!!!You call yourself telling someone off when your talking all whole bunch of nothing. So next time you call your self trying to educate someone try getting your facts right!!You are probabaly one of the people on the video… you minds well be anytime you get mad at the black people for standing up for some racist shit they just heard!!!Go Obama!!!
Dont get made at the athlete because money hungry, fame seeking,do everything sexual in the book white women are all over him!!Dont put the black girls in it he said white girls not black!!Dont be mad :-)Seems like you have the hate!!
I hope all those dumb ass W. Virginians die under a cloud of coal mine soot! They’re so uneducated and ass backwards it’s almost comical.
GO TO ANY STATE AND YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE JUST LIKE THIS…
40 YRS AGO THIS WAS AS COMMON AND AS AMERICAN AS BASEBALL & APPLE PIE…
THIS NATION UNDERGOES MAJOR CHANGES ABOUT EVERY 80-100 YEARS…
1492-1500 COLUMBUS
1607-1619 JAMESTOWN & FIRST SLAVES
1690-1700 COLINIZATION & NATIVE AMERICAN PURGE
1776-1787 REVOLUTIONARY WAR & SLAVE=3/5ths
1861-1865 CIVIL WAR, END OF SLAVERY, 40 ACRES&MULE

2050-2076? THE AMERICA WE WERE ALWAYS PROMISED WILL FINALLY BE HERE!!!
JUST BE SURE TO TEACH YOUR KIDS/GRAND KIDS TO SPEAK SPANISH!!!!!!!
Wow! Did u hear the old white woman.
‘Are you ready for a black president?’
‘NO! NO! NO!’
‘Why not?’
‘(silence)’
That’s the first time I actually wanted to beat the shit out of an old person.
DAMN! I hate ignorance.
If I were Clinton I wouldn’t be proud of getting these votes b/c they will reflect on her what type of person she is. Remember ‘Birds of a feather…’. Somebody needs to send this in to CNN so they can show it. But don’t send it to Foxnews b/c they will spin the shit out of it. I can hear them now….
‘Well, these people do have a point’
Get the fuck out of here.
OBAMA ‘08
And I approve this message.
@ west virginia, you said that somebody told you you were the first black person they havre saw s not true definately when marshall, have black professors and the city of huntington got blacks all around the campus….
And Hillary wonders why she didnt get the majority of the black vote. Why would she stand behind people like this. Damn she will do anything for votes. Watching that clip I could feel the hatred coming from these people. Like the saying goes a zebra never changes his stripes. Its a shame that in 2008 people still see race rather than the content of ones character. I am ashamed to call myself American because of trash from W.V. If they do decide to vote for McCain and he wins dont they think that they will suffer even more because McCain doesnt give a crap about the Middle or Poor working class people. He only cares about the rich and making them richer. If Obama does become our next president someone will try and kill him just because he is a black man. Remember John F. Kennedy. They killed him because he supported all races reguardless of color. Obama right now is what America needs to bring us out of this mess that we are in. In this race for the white house Hillary Just showed us black folk her true self and that is she doesnt give a crap about us black people only the whites. I am so glad that many of us black folk have turned our backs on her. She now realizes that she didnt have it good with us like she thought she did.
It is what it is, WV will always be that way. The only way a black person gets respect in that state is if they play sports and when championships for their schools, or until their daughters come home with a black baby, then they have no choice.
*win
racist suckers… sad thing is that mccain and clinton have less respect for them than they for obama.
@Quinda
‘If they do decide to vote for McCain and he wins dont they think that they will suffer even more because McCain doesnt give a crap about the Middle or Poor working class people. He only cares about the rich and making them richer.’
_____________________________________________________
That’s what makes them uneducated. The fact that they think that they wouldn’t suffer as bad w/ McCain as the leader of the US than Obama is how they are showing the rest of the world how dumb they really are. The mess up part is that there are more of this people in the US then there are educated people. If it wasn’t for that I would not want Obama to try and get there vote b/c of how stupid they are. SMH.
OBAMA ‘08
And I approve this message.
Well I’m glad that I don’t live in West Virginia. Did the clueless white lady say he’s not from America and did the other one say Hilary knows the national athem better than anyone. The sad truth is this is how most white people feel the only difference is these rednecks actually said it .the truth of the matter is that as long as Mc Cain doesn’t win we should be okay. Obama if you win cut welfare to WV and let all them crackers starve. Hilary if you win lower the damn gas prices Bill going to be runnin shit anyway. White people Obama can’t be no worst than Bush, but hell he as dumb a bag of screws anyway he would fit in great in west virginia. If that interview is any indication of the school system there bush would be an A student, but all he needs to be president is to know the star spangled banner.WOW
My boss (a white woman) is from West Va and she was truly embarrassed for those people… her words - not mine. As stated above, they only interviewed ‘a few people’ but the majority of the state really feel that way- my boss’ words. She feels that 80% are all HRC and the rest can’t wait to attempt to assassinate Obama. She is pro Obama.
oops! I meant 80% of the HRC peeps can’t wait to attempt the assasination of Obama… 20% are for Obama.
That reporter needs to go back to WV. I want to hear some ignorance and laugh.
I actually live in Martinsburg,WV and I am a white female in my early 20’s who attends the local university and I also work 2 jobs. I can’t believe what some of these people had to say!
First and foremost, Out of all the people interviewed, there was not a single young person or someone in their late 20’s, early 30’s. Most of the people on that news clip are misinformed people to put it nicely. Obviously you HAVE to be born in the USA to even become the President. So the lady in the coffee shop might want to get her facts straight before she speaks. Also, the old couple that said HRC could sing the SPB better than whomever, are you kidding me, this is no American Idol, we are voting for someone to run this free nation. And all of the white people interviewed, just because Obama has not been around as long as HRC, doesn’t mean anything. At least Obama doesn’t vote to go to War and then years later LIE and say he didn’t vote to go to War(HRC)! This makes me very upset to even live in the state of WV. I am ashamed of all the ignorant, racist people in this state and the ENTIRE country. People that were interviewed for this clip are the exact reason why Bush is in the White House now and why the free nation is doing so poorly, because people don’t have a single clue of what really matters to run a nation! They just think that since a white person that has been around in the media for “a long time” that you are the perfect candidate to become President. And I am NOT voting for HRC!
Someone gonna get assassinated…smh….so damn sad
Poor white people rather be poor white people than vote for a nigga. Period.
They are uneducated. They do not know anything about what Obama stands for, and Hillary counts on that, but it’s too late.
