Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA

boarder8925 writes "In a move sure to surprise no one, Obama has come out on the side of the MPAA/RIAA and has backed the ACTA: 'We're going to aggressively protect our intellectual property,' Obama said in his speech, 'Our single greatest asset is the innovation and the ingenuity and creativity of the American people [...] It is essential to our prosperity and it will only become more so in this century. But it's only a competitive advantage if our companies know that someone else can't just steal that idea and duplicate it with cheaper inputs and labor.'"

    You seem to have a skewed sense of statistics and what constitutes a viable proof.

    "These non-Black minorities serve as a measurement of African-American racism against Whites (and other non-Black folks)"
    Well first off control groups are only helpful when they only have 1 thing different from each other (the thing you are studying). And you cannot say that an Asian-American is identical to a African-American in everything except that a African-A will be inclined to vote for a fellow African-A while a Asian-A will not.
    Ethnic groups have their own racism's (for all I know Asian-Americans are on average racist against African-Americans, and that is why they voted less for Obama).

    "Here is the bottom line. Barack Hussein Obama does not represent mainstream America. He won the election due to the racist voting pattern exhibited by African-Americans."
    Here is the bottom line, while I am sure some people only voted for him because of his skin color we have no reason to think that McCain represented Americans any more then him, or that any other past president did.

    And you plan to fix this "problem" by encouraging other to vote by skin color.
    So while we do not know who the future presidential candidates will be, you already somehow know that the black ones will "not represent mainstream America" and therefore must be opposed?
