Do you think if a white guy assassinated Obama that either a racial war or a racial riot would start?

Why or why not?

No, I do not. I think Michele Obama would call for calm. I also think that the Secret Service would act swiftly to apprehend the assassin.

Interesting question you brought up and one that could cause great trouble for America. I would love to elaborate on the subject but will hold back and see what comes of the question. I would like to know what made you think of this question?

Not at all.

Why does this question remind me of something a user named SelfConsumingCannibal asked…

No but it would just add more fuel to the fire of hatemongers.

I think there’d be riots if Obama was assassinated, but I’m not sure they would be “racial.”

Obama is just as white as he is black. I think white people would riot.

I’m just wondering why you’re asking so many questions about Obama being assassinated…

Obama is mixed. The people who would be most upset would be the mixed people, because one of their own is at the center of racial upset.

Black people would riot in select places, but it would not be a country-wide thing. White people would riot in select places, because a large population of the Whites are proud of how far our country has come.

If anything, the country would turn on anyone who is racist in a horrible way…

I’d love to see every racist killed.

But yeah… that’s a horrible and harsh idea, that is only a daydream in my mind. Wouldn’t it be nice to be rid of the ones who create hatred? Ahhhh…

@Summum What made me think of the question is a random and curious mind. “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.”
