This may sound nothing more than a mere coincidence, but...
Remember the '98 movie "Deep Impact"-the entire world was being threatened by a catostrophic asteroid, and the US President was an AFRICAN-AMERICAN. You know what happened at the end...
Fast forward to '08...

And remember Independence Day, when the president was a war veteran and the world was threatened by aliens?
I guess we can't elect McCain either
Ok, honestly, what's racist about this?
He/she's just saying that by having a black president, it's like we're mimicing the events in the movie, thus the world will be ending soon. He/she never said anything racist, IMO.

Do you honestly not see a problem with saying "One aspect of movie ten years ago = OMG WE'RE ALL DEAD"?
It's pretty obvious it's a pathetic grasp at straws for a racist bastard to say anything he can to somehow imply that a black man would ruin the world. So pathetic, that he's using movie comparisons that have no bearing on anything.
The fact that you don't think this is racist makes me think you're fundie yourself.
To me it just sounded more like an idiot who thinks the end of the world is coming soon, by trying to relate a situation that happened in a movie to real life.
The more I read it, I do see what you're talking about now. But please, don't label me just because I interpreted the post differently from you at first.
"You know what happened at the end..."
Yes, they managed to stop the asteroid from destroying the entire planet by splitting it into two smaller ones, resulting in only one, far smaller asteroid hitting Earth.
So, Obama will save the world?
Sheesh, I don't get this. This doesn't make any fucking sense. This is one of the best examples of non-sequitor
Nibien, questioning the intent doesn't make somebody a "fundie." Take off your inquisitor's hood and stop with the witch hunt.
That being said, I think there's an obvious ractist subtext to the statement above. Notice that the words "African-American" are in caps. The poster is attempting to link the election of an African-American president with the destruction of the earth in order to scare people away from Obama. With this "reasoning," we could never vote a black candidate into office, even if he were a conservative Republican.
@reasonforexistance:
You can't see why saying "by having a black president, it's like we're mimicing the events in the movie, thus the world will be ending soon" isn't racist? Are you serious? Saying "black President = destruction of America/world just 'coz he's black" is a fair comment to you?
Have to ask, how do you feel about non-whites in general?
@Katsuro: I already explained that I just misinterpreted it. I realize that it's racist now. Sorry I didn't catch it at first.
Have to ask, how do you feel about non-whites in general?
Fine. I am one.
It happened that it was a fucking fiction and that they hoped, precisely, to give hope that America would be less racist. And we all know that happened at the end...................that life started again, with new enthusiasm.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
