As the election has ended, I think the preponderance of anti-Obama rhetoric went up significantly, probably in a response to the (in my mind) disgustingly unsportsmanlike response by the victors. While I don't have a problem with saying "Obama won", or anything as such; there are some examples that I witnessed today that were...disturbingly confrontational.

This isn't my first election folks, but I've never been on the losing side before, so I guess this is how it feels, but even when Kerry or Gore lost it wasn't this bad. There has been alot of racist confrontations today between blacks and whites in my town, and I don't want it to continue.
The fear-mongering that has occurred (black students telling white ones that the whites are "gonna be slaves") is disturbing to hear, and it makes all the whites very confrontational. While I might not comprehend the "historicity" of this event, it doesn't help when all the Obama supporters are shouting from the rooftops that they won, as if it was ever in doubt, and rubbing everyone's face in it?
I was surprised there wasn't more violence between the Obama supporters and McCain supporters. It's not because the McCain supporters were picking on Obama supporters as Communists, Socialists, or anything like that. I was quite willing to forget there was ever an election until the Obama supporters began their tirade. What happened to viewing content of character over skin color, and getting on with our lives? Tomorrow it'll be better though.

It's also interesting that everyone is calling for unity behind the President, when Bush didn't get unity in 2000 until a major U.S. disaster?

Local elections were fine, except the race between two candidates (A black republican and female democrat) was so close they've had to call in manual counts.
