1) His race"Even worse. Going white, is not the only option of skin-color change. Obama could change his skin back to black such as by tanning methods or drugs. Therefore people are going to question this action even more and ask the obvious,"Who said he was going to go back to black? You know the saying, "Once you go white, you just won the fight", Once Obama goes white he'll stay white. " in order for this skin change to occur people are naturally going to know about it. Those who perform it, his family, his doctors."You act like the government hasnt tried to pull a conspiracy before.... It could be seen as necessary due to the effects of vitiligo since vitiligo can be both gradual and rapid at the same time (see picture below). This means that Obama can cover it up and stay black (which would chew up a lot of time) or he could just jump to white. So some people would know, but they would know for the wrong reasons. "Why care so much about appearance? Wouldn't if be better for a president to just acknowledge the fact that his skin will be partly white, and let his nation know that he does not care how he looks."Because its not a gradual change, often it looks like this, We dont want the president to look like an unfinished coloring book, so he'll have to make the jump from black to white rather quickly. 2) Alienating Voters"Note, my opponent does not deny that some black voters will be lost."Yea but I gave a reason for why he wouldnt lose many, John Kerry was white but he still had 67% of the black vote in 2004. Blacks always vote Democrat, and with Obama that number would still be much higher. http://www.cnn.com...Obama wont lose many black voters because hes going against Mitt Romney, and the number of black people who would ever support him against anybody is 0%"Racists would not change their view of him simply because of his outward appearance changing. Why would it cause them to suddenly favor him?"1) Racists are dipsh*ts and can be easily tricked2) If Obama turned white then racists would lose their biggest reason for hating on Obama!" They would still look on him as a black person. None of the racist hate would be alleviated. I do not see why it would."Have you seen what a white Obama would look like? He would sway people's opinions because he can be a legit white dude and he looks more trustworthy. "Also really? Changing your skin color to get racists to vote for you? That's just low...."Its not as low as the people who vote against him because hes black....3) Puts a negative light on how people see America"However none of the things he mentioned were really crazy things, only bad things"Bad things ARE crazy things! Many people see the death penalty as crazy, many people see the war in Iraq as crazy, many people see our defense budget as crazy, many people see US as crazy! Bad things are crazy, and one that is harmless like going white wont arouse as much interest as the other crazy sh*t this nation has pulled. "If someone found out that he was lying about the disease in order to excuse him from changing his skin color, the flak would rain heavy, very heavy"But he would be in his second term so it wouldnt matter. Plus come on, he looks like a trust-able guy, 4) Using tax dollarsList of ideas the Con provides saying how Obama has misused tax dollars,"sing the tax payers money to pay for his and his families vacations" - Which EVERY president does"returning a gift given to us by Great Britain" - Accepting gifts is unconstitutional so he was forced to give it back. http://www.examiner.com..."and sending a letter to the wrong president of France" - Honest mistake and come on that couldnt have cost more than $50...."One more pile of poop piled on to an even larger pile of bull crap the government uses our money for doesn't make it any less poopish."1) Greatest - sentence - ever2) The point is you were concerned he would use taxpayers money on this while the government blows billions and billions of our other tax dollars on other things. Why make a big stink out of this one thing while so much other stuff is going on??5) Blackness is his advantage"The first problem I have with my opponents response is that he asserts Obamas first four years would be as a black president and last four years as a white..... In order for Obama to garner more votes by going white he would have to turn white before his first term ended, therefore he would spend only the first 3 and a fraction years as president not four."So whats the issue? If you round it to a whole number you still get 4 years of Black Obama and 4 years of White Obama"conservatives, moderates and anyone else.... would be more inclined to objectively scrutinising Obama than if he was white."Exactly, they would be MORE inclined to scrutinize Obama since he is black and not white, but if he was NOT white then they would back off, because come on, he looks like a good old fashioned white guy. ========================================================================================================================================================"Blacks always vote Democrat anyway, and black people would still support a White Obama over Mitt Romney"The point of this argument is that Obama changing his skin color would not alienate a lot of black supporters since blacks always vote Democrat, and since barely any blacks would ever vote for Mitt Romney. Therefore the negative effects of him turning white on black votes for his support would be negligible. " If Obama made it look like a disease that was progressing against his will, then people would accept that he cant fight it and wouldn't haze him over it"You said it was a bad idea because people could find out, but it could easily be made to show that he had to do it and had no choice because of what would happen to his skin if he didnt do something about it. "I could just as easily say people would be more open minded about the ideas of someone who stands out as being the only black president in the history of the United States."Have you seen how conservatives treat him? People are most certainly NOT more open minded because he is black, in fact they are more critical of him then ever!"Well I wouldn't label the act of being black as a tactic, but no evidence."Of course theres no evidence you cant get evidence about something like this, but would you vote for this guy, come on he looks so political! "The only real contention my opponent uses to affirm the resolution is that Obama would gain the racist vote. "He would not alienate the black vote, people would be more open minded towards his ideas and could support him, people would be less critical because hes white, and on top of that he could make it all look like he had to do it against his will and get a sympathy vote. That gives Obama a good advantage heading into what is going to be a close election.Obama should bleach his skin white to get more votes.
