Serious questions to our black posters on CD.com:
Did you vote for Obama?
Did you really believe in 'hope and change' or were you more interested in him because he would be the first black president?
Has your life changed for the better or worse in his 8 year presidency?
Do you think race relations in the US have improved over the last 8 years?
If he could run for another term, would you vote for him?

In the transracial stage right now. When I am fully black I will answer your questions. Gracias, amigo.

You too? I know your struggle.

I'm a straight white male who self identifies as a lesbian transgender black female who self identifies as a straight white male.

Wait, what am I again? I'm confused.

Is your name Rachel? Did you used to work for the NAACP?

I'd like to know those answers too. I'm white, but I'll answer for giggles.

Did you vote for Obama?

- Yes, but only in 2008. I voted for Romney in 2012.

Did you really believe in 'hope and change' or were you more interested in him because he would be the first black president?

- Believed in Hope and Change.

Has your life changed for the better or worse in his 8 year presidency?

- Stayed the same, but I'm white.

Do you think race relations in the US have improved over the last 8 years?

- Race relations are much worse, IMO.

If he could run for another term, would you vote for him?

- Oh Hell No, not in a million years!

I'll bite.

I voted for him.
I believed that he could do what he promised and that changes were so desperately needed. The fact that he's black was great, too.
I'd vote for him again, yes - in a heartbeat!
The bigots in our country have lost their collective minds. Because of these people not being able to handle having a black president, race relations have become strained. It's pretty sad, IMHO.
My life got a lot better. I went from working in the private sector to working for DoD, and I purchased a house.

People don't like Obama because of his ideology, dear, not because of his race. Note how the Republicans have a Black candidate running for the nomination this year, but the Dems do not.

Some, I'm sure. All? No, dear.

Where's a Dem candidate other than someone White?

In the Republican race, there's currently Hispanic, Black, and White.

There isn't a black democratic candidate this election. Have you not been paying attention?

Are you implying that, because Carson is a GOP candidate, there are no racist conservatives?
