Most will. I won't deny that President Obama running for POTUS brought blacks to the voting booth in record numbers but I will say that blacks typically vote democrat anyways. I wouldn't vote for Michael Steele or Herman Cain and neither would 99% of the black people that I know but I also am not naive to believe that there wasn't a sizable percentage of black people that voted for President Obama because he is black. There definitely was.

I know. And that's the shame of it to be honest, politics aside. I would have no problem voting for an black man, hispanic man or oriental man or anyone else that I thought was the best choice for our country.

No...but "white male" is a race card. It just so happens to also be a gender card.

When it comes to this election, or the previous one, I'm not buying that. What's next? A Rooney rule before parties are allowed to vote for their candidates? Why can't it just be the best guy?

Same here. Colin Powell would have been the second time I didn't vote democrat in a Presidential election had he ran. I really like that man. I like Gary Johnson too and Chris Christie is intriguing.

Is that a retorical question mtn ref?

Rhetorical that is .

Agree. And I really thought Powell would have been in the race, and I'd have voted for him in a blink.

I don't disagree. A lot of the older blacks still look at everything as a black/white issue based on their upbringing. This train of thought will cycle out and be replaced with a more trusting and cooperative train of thought at some point. Hopefully we'll be alive to see it.

Man, I truly hope so. It'd be nice to see everyone on both sides of the race issue to be more trusting and cooperative.

Pardon the cliche but....I have to have hope.

Well...that'd be some...ahem...change I could get behind.

I guess Romney could accuse the blacks of voting for Obama because he is black. And them knowing he isn't the best candidate.

 

I too would have voted for Colin Powell in a heartbeat.

So, it's gender specific. Got it.

 

Glad to know she is keeping racism alive and well with her racism. With leaders like her the race problem will never end. Hate to be a white person in her district, talk about discrimination.
