Riots If Obama Wins?

I have heard a few disheartening things about black Americans recently. Because Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama has the support of a good number of black voters, allegedly they will riot in celebration if Obama wins the White House.

I've heard this a few times already and even on some talk radio shows and I have to say that I have more faith in my fellow Americans. I don't want to believe that my fellow Americans would resort to becoming drunken college football fans and start to smash cars and loot stores simply because Obama would become the first American, with a strong black heritage, to be president of the United States.

I want to think that black American voters will walk a bit taller if Obama wins the election and rightly so. But I hate to imagine that they would become drunk with jubilation and trash a city or start a riot out of spite because GOP Presidential Candidate John McCain won the election and not Obama.

After all, Obama surely would not want any American to behave in such a disgraceful manner in his name or anyone else's for that matter.

There will be no riots if Obama wins. The tanks and troops from the United Socialist States of America will stop anyone who hasn't already been disarmed and had a GPS chip planted into them.

I read Erica Jong's comments that the streets will run red with blood if Obama loses.
So much for the party of tolerance and inclusion. Such faith in their fellow man, too.

Its people acting like that, that scares people about voting for Obama.

I'm not voting for Obama but I surely am not going to riot if McCain loses which I'm pretty sure he will, but every vote counts so I'm hoping McCain can win.
