He was a Democrat and if the African American vote came out in the numbers they are for Obama he would have won the election.

Sorry to take you out of your PC closet. You can go back now.

The youth vote PERIOD has historically been low until this election cycle.

Dude, you are really fixated on race, aren't you?

OK Krimson, I was just about to give a response equating whites who won't elect a black man because of the color of his skin and blacks who are voting for Obama because he is black.

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.

Come on.....Bro Your joking right?
I'm suppose to figure out what you meant from the comment you made?
Do you honestly believe I am concerned about this???
I could care less about who votes for who or the voting
habits of any race?.......

What I do find interesting and entertaining is the obsession
people have with Obama. The constant digging
for whatever they can find true or not. It's all
very funny for sure..........

Now for something a bit more controversial, try equating that thinking towards angry black preachers like Louis Farrakhan or Rev. Wright and others who grew up during the time of Jim Crow and Segregation.

Nope...Sorry Eric, no pass for them. They have capitalized on these issues and in my opinion sold out. Both Farrakhan and Rev. Wright are racist and living on the backs of the people they pretend to be helping.

Good try but no dice.

I'm not offended, nor do I think that you are a racist.

I simply think he lacks testicles, and that a crazy inexperienced hock mom is going to be easier to throw out. Does that make me sexist? Does anyone remember the firestorm over his ethnicity? I do. In MY OPINION, he has used the issue when it is convenient, and ignored it the rest of the time, because it is a NON-ISSUE. Go look at his lineage before you pull that ish, please. Most of the youth I know that supports Obama are 16 year olds from California, or who want to be. I am from one of the most liberal places on the east coast, and I know very few people that are voting for him that weren't exposed to coke in the womb, or are complete airheads.
