But they're close enough!

 

Spin it anyway you want. This isn't even an argument, if you think it is you need to do alittle more research.

 

Maybe everyone should do some research. Research is always a good thing. Maybe you shouldn't accuse people of spinning things when you have absolutely no reason to do so. I never said the reverse was not true. There are a lot of African Americans who will most likely vote for Barack Obama simply because he too is an African American. However are there polls that compare the percentage of people who say they WILL or WILL NOT vote for Obama based on his skin color? I haven't seen them. If they are out there, I'd love to see them.

The reverse is also true and yet that's not a bad thing is it?

 

I think it is bad/ignorant, yes. But I can understand it a little more than someone who is voting for McCain because they do not want to vote for a Black man. The opposite is not true. Many African Americans who vote for Barack Obama because he is black are not voting for him simply because refuse to vote for a white person.

Yes they are...So could I vote for McCain and say I did so because he's white, and not because Obama is black? I mean it's the same thing.

You can't possibly know that given this is the first time they've had the option. Bigotry may very well be the reason just as it may very well not be the reason.

Good point.

Good point.

Again I say, you can't possibly know that given this is the first time they've had the option. Bigotry may very well be the reason just as it may very well not be the reason.

When I was in the hospital two young ladies came into my room and they were both wearing an Obama sticker. One young lady was white and the other was black. I asked each of them why they were voting for him. The young white lady said because he has promised a change. When I asked her what kind of change was he going to make, she didn't have an answer. When I asked the young black woman why she was voting for Obama, she looked at me like I was stupid and she said, "I am voting for him because he is black".

 

I would never vote for someone becaues of their color and I wouldn't vote for someone becuase of their color. I think if you vote for someone just because they are black, white, male or female then you should lose your chance to vote.

Then they would have stayed home in all of the other elections

Racial prejudice is certainly alive and well in the good ole Commonwealth. The election and all the talk leading up to it will provide ample evidence.

Or she may think b/c he is black he shares some commone experiences

The rhyme helps, but I use it because it's fitting. The majority of his views and the things that come out of his mouth are an absolute crock IMO.

 

I understand it now but I still think its immature!

Many probably did.

You be sure to point it out to us.
