Ok. My point was missed, again. Let’s try THIS another way…What Has Obama Stated Or What Has He Done To Make Him The Better Candidate To Run Our Country?

It is not fair to simply say Hilary is the better candidate and not Obama and that African-Americans are displaying racism against her because she’s white. How proposterous does that sound when African-Americans are a people that have experienced unwanted racism for hundreds of years. It’s not fair to say Hilary is the better and most marketable candidate because of the color of her skin. America finally has a chance to redeem itself from the negative ideology that the world has about us. We need to give the potential first black president a chance. After all, he is pulling in the lead fair and square. And it’s not fair for Clinton supporters to want to vote for McCain versus Obama because if Clinton was pulling ahead and won the democratic nomination, I would damn sure vote and support her. We as Americans really need to get it together and realize that it is a new day and not every president we elect has to have similiar ideologies and white skin. America needs a drastic change. A change that eliminates dirty politics and politics that keep its people in the dark on so many issues. Take a stand for the best change America.

So where, in any of these blogs, does it state that a particular individual will NOT vote for Obama because he is black? I’m missing something…I’m not voting for him because he has not convinced me that he CAN run our country. To me he seems very green, immature, and sways his beliefs to go with which ever way the wind blows. I just don’t get that warm fuzzy feeling…PLUS we do not know much about his wife, except for the few alarming issues she has with racisim. Yes, the red flags are flying high! If he would say something that had substance to it, I would vote for him regardless of color! I am REALLY tired of having it shoved up my arse that JUST BECAUSE I am not voting for him I am racist. Recheck your own issues before trying to start ones for those of us that do not have any.

This is completely ridiculous. I don’t get how Democrats are saying that if Obama wins that they will vote Republican. Hillary pulls the race card, that she can win more a greater percentage of the white vote and we should all suddenly for vote Hillary? I’m a 21 year old black woman who rarely ever deals with racism in my personal life, but sure it happens. I’m also not a sterotype, I do not live in the ghetto, do not talk half english, I go to college, have never been pregnant and have never received any form of public assistance. However, I can still recognize racism when I see it and makes me sick to my stomach when white people (and no, I’m by no means racist) say that blacks should stop whining about being treating unfairly when we can’t even win a presidental election because those same whites who claim we’re treated as equals won’t vote for Obama simply because he’s black. Please say what you mean and don’t mask behind being politically incorrect. We know what you mean and what you say. Its unneccessary to say it after we’ve turned our backs. Say and out loud and say it proud so we can have a real conversation for once. “I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S A BLACK MAN AND I DO NOT THINK ITS MY EQUAL AND I WOULD RATHER SEE A WHITE WOMAN WIN THE PRESIDENCY THAN A BLACK MAN IN THE YEAR 2008, 200 YEARS AFTER SLAVERY ENDS”. Man, I’ve been needing to address that for quite some time!

Hillary is preaching racism and thi sgeneral election is a fools talk don’t lose now an dsay you can win later we have to be puredy retarded to beleive that along wiht this land in mexico I have for sell

As I read these board messages, it disturbs me as an African American female. I am deeply saddened by the hatred that I read, and it touches me to the core, because when I looked at the candidates, race was not even a factor, and i think that applies to most people that I know black and white. We are one of the most powerful and wealthy countries in the world, and yet we still base our decisions on race. How much sense does that really make. When I looked at both candidates, my first thought was, who is being the most sincere, who do I believe can do the job, who can put my faith back into politics, who isn’t reaping benefits from my tax dollars, who has an open mind and is firm in their beliefs. This is something that we need to take into account, because the rest of the world is watching us, and if they think we are using skin color (and I leave out sexism, because TONS of other countries have female leaders) as a basis for our decisions, then we are in a sad place. People, black and white, male and female, all fought and died so that we could “have the pursuit of liberty”. My final question is, how many people have applied for a job that you had no “experience” in and succeeded even when most people doubted you? Keep that in mind,I think we as AMERICANS need to open our minds, and turn off our emotions a little and choose the candidate that really wants to help this country move in a positive direction so that out children can really be proud TO BE AN AMERICAN.

well said denise! I hurt sometimes when I read these blogs. we still have a long way to go. (deep breath).

HILARY SHOW IS OVER PLEASE LEAVE THE STAGE, do not destroy the democratic party and this country any more. For all of those who say that Hilary will win againsts Mccain, wait and see when all the young generation voters INCLUDING YOUNG REPUBLICANS and INDIPENDENTS flock around the smartest most HONEST politician AMERICA has ever seen named Barack Obama. OBAMKA will kick Republican butt in Nov by getting OVER 75% votes from PEOPLE BELOW 40. Obama will get huge support from INDIPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS Which Bilary will never get in her life. Its time for Change, Its time for Honesty, Wisdom and it is Time for a new Leadership now.

Obama 2008

Dude!

I’d like to buy a clue for $500, please!! This isn’t a popularity contest. This isn’t for class president. It’s for President of the US of A (dude)!! Hillary has the required demographic groups to carry the battleground states in the general election (Hispanics, Jewish, white women, blue-collar workers, Catholic, elderly, lower income and the Reagan Democrats, not to mention that she’s carried the big battleground states, mostly by a 10 point margine because of this (Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, California and Arizona to name a few), and the winner in the general election has won in Pennsylavania, Ohio, and Florida–something Barack won’t be able to do. There’s NO WAY Barack will be on the map with McCain in the general election. If you think so, you’re deluding yourself!! No wonder the democrats lose–the democratic nominee is a popularity contest and not about who is most electible and most qualified. As far as “the math” goes, it’s totally BOGUS!! Mostly caucus wins for Barack (perceived reality–such a miniscule part of the whole state is represented), and to not count Florida and Michigan is RIDICULOUS!! What is the Obama camp so afraid of? If the Democratic nominee process was done the right way, Hillary would have won a long time ago. Hillary or bust!!! You GO, girl!!!!!!

Susan,
That was brilliant!!! I won’t speak for others but I will say you have voiced everything I have felt about the situation. You have hit on every talking point I have had for the last few months including Hill running as an independent. You obviously have a sharp and constantly thinking mind…normally I would add my few cents worth but you threw in an entire dollar!!! way to go, I hope to read more from you.
