Obama Riots Win or Lose

Obama Riots Win or Lose

Earlier I had worried that the Black Masses, in the event of an Obama defeat, would turn out to riot, effectively burning down much of Urban America. But then I saw a Black Comedian on Dave Letterman, and his point was that the Celebrations that could follow an Obama Victory would go beyond any imagined bounds. That put me in mind of some mere Sports Victories, in America and in Europe, where the victorious and deliriously happy fans took to the streets and, well, burned cars and looted, much as we could have expected had they been very unhappy.

Drunkenness may have something to do with it.

Well, yes, if there were to be some excessive exuberance just on Election Night, the Nation could easily survive. The true worry is that the Happy Riots could escalate, for instance, if Police or shop owners (exasperated themselves at their own defeat) too quickly come out with guns and summarily execute Blacks on the street. From there the Happy Riots could expand into the Real Thing.

This, again, could explain why the White Militias have been holding back during the Campaign. As stupid as we may expect they are, maybe the White Supremacists at least had enough sense to hire a team of Sociology Consultants who were able to convince them that SOMETHING will happen during Election Night that they will be able to exploit in order to justify their initiation of the Race War they have been preparing for, for generations now.

I suppose that Black Community Leaders are now too busy just working to have Obama elected. But very soon the Word has got to go out that the Black Community must act with the utmost sobriety and discipline on Election Day and the night and day that follows, Win or Lose. Unfortunately I expect that the Blacks, even the Leaders, will see this as their well earned celebration party, and nobody will be in charge, and everybody will be drunk, and the Crowd will develop a mind of its own – a drunken mind senseless with euphoria.

Oh, and then there is the problem with Uneducated Assumptions concerning how Power works, particularly to minds already debilitated by drunkenness. More than a few Black Celebrants may think along the lines of “The President is Black now, so they can’t arrest us anymore”. That is, they may suppose the President is some kind of an Absolute King who rules all by fiat, forgetting that their own Mayor is the one who really most closely holds their lives and fates within his hands. Besides, it will be months before Obama is actually sworn in. But, yes, such fine logical distinctions may be beyond the capacity of these impaired Celebrants we are speaking of.
Perhaps, Obama himself needs to give a speech, before the Election, with reminders during Election Night itself, imploring the Local Clergy and Political Leaderships to take charge of the Crowds, to cut off the Alcohol and to exert a very firm discipline. Win or Lose they need to keep the lid on, or it could all be just the beginning of America’s Second Civil War.
