I'm still waiting for an answer from him. I really want to know. I'm not being judgemental. I do not care if he was thinking of having racial preferences. A lot of people have them. I believe it should not affect who you choose to vote for in the election. I'm as concerned for those who vote because of charisma.

In the case of Barack Obama, it has become clear a lot of folks here dismiss him because of his middle name Hussein. They emphasise it now in almost every post. It is becoming silly. Rush Limbaugh called him half-minority. People will find all kinds of excuses.

Black voters are very loyal to the Clintons and they are very influential in the south and Obama may get derailed there. Also it is John Edwards' turf so the white vote that Obama has been counting on may not be there when he gets to South Carolina. It is kind of ironic that, in the end, it may be blacks that derail a black candidate but the way things are looking now, that is what I am seeing.
The word I've heard is that SC blacks have been taking a "wait and see" approach, because they're unconvinced that white voters will support a black candidate. The results from Iowa answered that in strong fashion. I think that SC is now Obama's, and by a wide margin. And if he sweeps the first 3 primaries, which is a strong possibility, he'll probably be unstoppable.

I can't figure out if Obama is unstoppable or if Hillary is unlikeable.

, " whites' . What has the 'MOTHERLAND ' did to help blacks ? Most blacks in Africa who live in luxuray are your black dictators and robbers of their people . The ones the radical muslims are raping beheading and burning alive that is .

Which nation and race still owns slaves [ if you said parts of Africa with black slave masers , your right } ?

I am from a long line of freedom fighters and beleive in equal rights for all no favoritism .

So you see it's not a racial thing . Its a people thing, and cultural thing .

Your views have really showed who you really are in several of your post in this thread so I will just comment on this one.

To answer your question several whites and blacks and most importantly Americans died and gave up everything to defeat slavery, so what’s your point?

White people had to no choice but to get rid of slavery. How would black people do it with no black legislation and most no rights in the 1st place? The only other way woulda been mass violence.

Welfare wasn’t made to support black men who leave there families behind in this country. White people still make up the highest percentage of receivers in this country percentage wise. So again what’s your point? I will give you one. White people make up 38 percent and blacks 37 percent, but blacks are only around 13 percent of the populations, now you have an argument point.

Blacks that are rich and wealthy that live in dictatorship while the rest of the country is poor. Of course there are. This happens all over the world in all different types of ethnic backgrounds, and I can name a few that are white, black, Hispanic, Asian and other backgrounds. So again I ask you what is your point.


All in all I see that you are a uniformed poster and I'm actually discouraged that you have a vote in the upcoming election. If you could bring me reasons why you won't vote for Obama, based of things you don't like you would hold ground with. I'm not going to answer all your questions becuase you haven't done your research. Faux news and your borderline racist and prejudice ways have made up your mind.

Go here find some reasons that you don't like Obama besides the fact that he is "Muslim"(which has already been proven as lies by faux news) or he is black.

He is up 12 percent or more in every poll. It's like Hillary is up to bat, Obama is Trevor Hoffman and "Hells Bells" is playing in the background
