Your so welcome and I'm done. Hard to debate with someone who is not listening to others. I don't even think he took the time to realize your black and you would know what the people think!!!
3Shepherds, I wouldn't presume to speak for any group but when someone tries to make a sweeping statement for a group I am part of I can certainly point out where they err!
But it IS a racial deal. It IS a problem in this country and unless it is addressed, it will not go away. Frankly, I think white people are scared to death of what will happen if a black man becomes president. I don't they are horrible people for thinking that electing a black man is the wrong thing to do because I HONESTLY THINK THEY ARE TERRIFIED. The racial divide in this country has been solid and trying to go past the color issue, whether it be in relationships, employment or housing has always been a difficult thing for whites to handle.
If Obama does not get elected, I doubt it will be too much longer before a black man (100% not just half black) or hispanic (Most likely Mexican) since the whites will soon be the minority in this country.
No, its not the messenger in and of himself, its just that its the totally wrong message that he brings - at least for me, and for my friends [of other races too]. So, if a person that is non-white doesn't vote for a white person, does that mean they are racist? If a man doesn't vote for a woman, does that make him sexist? Not saying that there are not people out there that are like that - but making a general statement such as what is quoted above is incorrect.

Yes, I agree, shadowcaver. It's the message. If White people were terrified he wouldn't be the Democratic nominee. He is not the wrong color, he is just the wrong man.
