Infact your whole post strikes me as ignorant, period.

Guess who won the last two elections, a conservative.. (its true). To my knowledge neither Gore or Kerry are black? So why did they loose?

Because this country is equally split on each side of the political bar. But if Obama doesn't win, it is race, huh? I couldn't be the tax increase or wealth redistribuation at all, right? It couldn't be that people just don't agree with his policies? Nah, gotta be race because that is the easiest crutch to grab onto, isn't it? Only if Kerry and Gore where black...

Will some people not vote for Obama because he is black? Yes, absolutely, and it is sad. Will more people vote for him (with out any knowledge of the issues) because he 'looks' like them? Absolutely, and that is sad (and racist).

You made several generalizations in your post that are down right ignorant. As a black person you claim to know what WHITE (you emphaized it, not me) PEOPLE are scared of? Seriousy, you know huh? Talk about racist to a tee... In fact the only person who has come across as racist in this entire post is you, but then again, you have already admitted to voting for somebody because they look like you...

WHY IS IT OKAY FOR YOU TO DO IT, but not white people? Why is it only racist when it swings one way?

I tend to vote conservative (but will not vote for either person)and I would absolutely vote for General Powell. I will not vote for Barak because he has LESS experience then Palin and I don't agree with his policy, period. Please do not use race as excuse to reduce my feelings in one racist generalization that is 100% not true. Wake up and smell your own racist hypocrisy before you attempt to make racist generalizations yourself. Its okay for you to vote for people that look like you, but not okay for others (I think its wrong for you and others, personally, but then again I am not racist)?

Voting for anybody based on their race is racist, and it goes both ways, period.

Also, I think the fact that Mr. Obama has made it this far, is ahead in the polls, and will likely be our next president goes very far to poke about 1,000,000 holes in your racist theory.



Couldn't have said it any better.
