wHY ALL THE FUSS OVER Obama’s flag pin. Most say he is un-

Why all the fussover Obama’s lapel pin. Most say he is un-American. Will those who are “all-American” not vote for him simply because of race?

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?

And another thing, Michelle Obama’s thesis on black alumni hailing from Princeton only reflects her personal experience as an African-American women who like so many others liker her have experienced disenfranchising and discrimination in this country. African-Americans have gradually been put in a position to have a mentalality that being black is a disgrace to this country. So when she askes black alumni from Princeton to identify with the black community more, she is simply saying that we must first love and appreciate ourselves despite all of the abuse and racism that we have experienced, so that we can grow and move on. It’s not right for blacks to forget where we have come from because it keeps us clueless of why we experience some of the discriminations that we experience today even though some of the discriminations are more subtle than others. Blacks will always stand out in this country, no matter what we do. And if no other nationality in this world is willing to stand up for our equality, then we must do it for ourselves, and we must do that by sticking together as a minority in this country until everyone else decides that black people are worthy of achieving in this nation just like everybody else. So again her comments are not racist, they are simply a reflection of the disenfranchising that blacks experience in this nation.

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.

WOW…Some of you bloggers sure have exposed yourselves!LoL I actually have NO problems with the Clinton’s.I think Bill did a good job in office.But, that doesnt mean Hillary will.People use common sense and stop being racist.For years and years blacks have been trampled on by this Country.And to “Carl McQueen”…That paragraph does not prove anything.(you kind of people are hilarious)!She basically said that she would take care of her people as a priority.Whats wrong with that?I noticed that (racist )whites are getting threatened by OBAMA and pulling the race card.You should be…See the only difference in the past elections is that a large population of blacks did not vote.You better bet your last piece of land that the majority of all the black communities will be voting for OBAMA.

Peace

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.

I am a Barack Obama supporter and I want Clinton to stay in the race. I don’t want anyone saying she was forced out. I am dissappointed but not surprsised that she resorted to playing the race card. Hey she started this race playing the gender card.

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!
