Problem is you made me think a little deeper. On reflection I can see where a black man voting for Obama due to the color of his skin is not necessarily being racist. Any white person who would not vote for Obama because he is black IS a racist in my opinion. However, seeing what black America had to endure throughout our early history and up until recent times I can see there is a difference. It is possible that someone black voting for Obama not on policy but for pride sake can't be equated to the white voter not voting for him because of his skin color. I'm sure there are a host of other feelings I can't understand being white which would also fall under the non-racist reason for voting for him regardless of what they know about his policy.

So...Minds do change on the X5 political forum. I apologize if I offended you because I did not quite think from the angle of an African American. It's difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes at times.
