most people are NOT voting for him because he's black. We're voting for him because he's going to make a fabulous president.
Moderator cut: snip
I guess it really shows how racist black people are.....you know, with 95% of them voting for Obama. Wow, talk about racism. Maybe some of these black people voting for Obama because of his skin color need to attend a mandatory diversity class.......

I'm sad? LOL! You make absolutely NO sense! To reiterate, since you weren't able to grasp it the first time: the people who are voting for Obama are not voting for him Just to vote for the "black candidate." We are voting for him because he is the best for the job and he'll be a great president.
Get it now?

Yes i got it that time, the sad part is you think he would make a great president.
Just a pathetic comment,
but, I'll play your sick game for a moment.......

Again, I think my statement has been interpreted in a way I didn't intend. My apologies. What I meant by my post is that "Obama supporters are voting for him because he's a great candidate, not because of his race." I didn't mean to imply that those who are NOT supporting him are refraining from doing so because he's black.
This is truly an inspiring moment in our country's history.
Regardless of one's party affiliation or political philosophy, the nomination of an African-American by a major party is a momentous event, and should make each of us reflect for a moment on the progress we have made as a nation, and take pride in being a citizen.
Interesting sidenote; it was EXACTLY forty-five years ago today that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the "I Have A Dream" speech.
Excerpts from that speech below:
"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
"Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants, Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
All politics aside, it truly is a historic moment as Yeledaf said.

I must disagree....
Read MLK's words again and again.....it talks about "sitting down together".
I have yet to see any of Obama or his followers promote any togetherness. Obama attended a "separatist" church for years with a 20 year mentor that preached hate toward whites. How is that remotely related to the great MLK's idea of "sitting down together"?
Obama being nominated has actually seemed to create a bigger divide in the country.....
White people saying "hell no I won't vote for a black man" and black people saying (in the words of Ludacris) "we are gonna paint the White House black".
I've seen absoultely no coming together or sitting down together from either side. Obama's "unity" message is a sham. Obama has yet to be a uniter....simply look at the way he treated Hillary supporters.
Nothing historical about any of this to me.....seems like the same tired old song, different verse maybe, but same tired old song.
