Eastidahomom comment was being nice, the comments were used to show you how foolish your remark. Most Black voters have always voted for the Democratic candidate regardless of race. In this case, the Democratic Presidential candidate happened to be Black. Some Black or even White Republicans may decide to vote Obama this election because of Obama's political policies.

What argument do you have for those White voters who are voting for Obama? Also, can you name one or two good reasons why Black Democrats would want to turn to the Republican party? Just look at some of the name calling (targeting Black supporters) that Republicans have use for Obama supporters on this site, who would want to be apart of that party!

America is also full of racists who will never take the word of a distinguished veteran and public servant at face value without reading race into it, just because he is black.

Pot, meet kettle.

Ok it settled then! I'll just go ahead and ASSume that every white person that votes for McCain is also racist. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and vote for Obama just to get back at "da man".
