How is Black racist if blacks have always voted for whites?
This is the first time in history that Blacks have ever gotten the opportunity to vote for a Black man.
So what if whites vote for a Black man. How man times in history have whites voted for a Black man?

Lets go back in history.
Whites brought Blacks into America against their will. Whites beat/kill millions of Blacks during slavery. We still have plenty of Blacks who can not find their anchestors because whites change Blacks first and last name.

Now how are Blacks racist?

Yawn! This is just another sad attempt top make white people give obama a guilty vote to prove they are not all racist. Most people who didn't vote for obama did so because they cans ee he is weak and inexperienced. And noone should feel guilty about wanting a stronger candidate even is they have to cross parties. I sure hope people don't cave under pressure and vote for the wrong man in order to pay for what thier ancestors may have done.

Bush was all that and more...and he still got elected...twice .

I can speak for the other pro-Obama people, but beg for the White vote by using a guilt trip? Please. Put a White man in Obama's place and I would still be voting Democrat. Those are my values and that is my party. Not saying that people cannot cross party lines (I surely have...although never to the Republican side), however the tricks a smears being used to cloak Obama's policies from the Democrats and others in this country that share his values...regardless of race.

People can vote which ever way and for whatever reasons (and will). But some of us care about the real issues at hand. We have two viable choices...Obama and McCain. It basically boils down to "who is most likely to execute your own political values the most".

LOL. Fella, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. When did they EVER vote against "good jobs?" If a presidential candidate came to WV tomorrow and promised in a realistic way 50,000 news jobs in WV, they would win. The problem is that, realistically, no presidential candidate will ever bring any jobs to WV. Did Bush? Did Clinton? Did any president, ever? Of course not. They just don't care and we are a state of cynical realists. And medical care? We're all on Medicaid, anyway. Democrats and Republicans are one in the same to us. If you want to buy into the pipedream bull**** about how they will magically create new jobs, go ahead. Where you live, maybe they will.

I'm specifically referring to those who are racists, and these people are everywhere.
Of course you would not be referring to the wonderful, progressive and free love city of San Fransisco, would you? Thanks for another amusing post, I especially like the part where you "cavort" with the locals.

Great reply, but don't expect to see this guy or others of his ilk try to reply. If they do, it will be along the lines of "Racist Appalachia, backwoods, trailer park white trash. It's the usual diatribe that comes out of a corrupt and divisive lefty.

Except of course for KevK beloved Irish trailer park white trash. They are exempt from the stigma.

Wake up. This is not 1860 anymore.

You make opportunities for yourself and if you vote by color then you deserve no such opportunity because you are racist and stupid.

Yes, black are racist, whites are racist, indians are racist and so on.
If you do not see that then you are flat out blind.
