Indeed. So why do you have such a hard time acknowledging that this goes BOTH ways? some of you really need to quit playing the victim role, it's getting really old.

Of course prejudice runs both ways. And prejudice takes many forms. Like belittling people for saying they've been discriminated against, and who want people to know about it and understand what it feels like. They aren't just whining about it, most of the time they are trying to get people involved in the issue and to stop pretending that it doesn't exist.

Applying gsupstate's train of logic on myself, I must be a racist since I can't relate to Barbie dolls - uber-hot Caucasian blondes. I must also be a racist if I marry within my own race.

Like DC said, there is a significant percentage that want a candidate they can relate to. Yes, skin color does play into it. Someone should find out how many of McCain supporters are white.

Probably 99 percet white because black people are only voting for Obama.

White people are voting about 60/40 for McCain/Obama.

So, where is the racism? Lets see.

White voting for McCain 60%
White voting for Obama 40%

Black voting for McCain 5%
Black voting for Obama 95%


Looks like black people win the racism prize!

Whites have always been winning in the past. It's about time blacks win something.

Chickens coming home to roost, sir.
