So, a black person voted for Obama because Obama is black...
and
a white person voted for obama because he is white...

is obama black, white, oriental or cherokee?

kazig, he was making fun of it, trying to get peoples support How is that funny?

blackelk, I can say the same thing about what you first said about Obama. A lot of people think it's annoying that everyone is making a big deal out of him just because he's black. I looked further than that and found him to be useful, exactly WHAT is the problem?
Plus, the only way a republican typically gets support is from evangelicals and lying (proof throughout history), how can you trust that?

lol. The Democrats don't lie?

They don't tend to, at least not as much as republicans as I've noticed. I mean, I'm sure they have in the name of national security (which I don't agree with every time, but nothin we can do about that). Overall they are generally more trustworthy.
I mean, if our new democratic president becomes a lie, obviously I will regret favoring him (at least over all the others). We still have to find out for ourselves though, now don't we?

if you voted for him because hes black. that means you are a racist bigot and you dont like white people

i voted for mccain becuase hes white. Oh you say that makes me racist?

i guess it does, but what does that make all the black people that voted for obama. there were even commercials on BET saying vote for obama hes the "black vote"

oh yea and everyone in africa is racist too because they only have black presidents, i guess we should all go there and vote for white people and get excited about the first "white" president in nigeria.

racist scum blacks

People dont vote for presidents because of their color, they vote for them because they like theyre prinicpals, views, what they want to do if they become president, etc.

If you're voting for a politician who will influence the lives of all people in the region irrespective of their race, then yes, voting on the basis of their race because you expect them to be partial to you as a result of having similar interests due to racial cohesion, then yes, that's racist not just a preference. It's racist because instead of taking a look at the specific issues and deciding which you feel are most important to everyone and how the majority of people will be affected (positively or negatively by the candidate's actions, you've instead chosen to go with "issues of importance to my race are the only ones that matter, everyone else can kiss off". This is not comparable to heading the NAACP, which absolutely should be headed up by black people, because that organization serves the black community specifically. That's not true of political offices, particularly high political offices like the presidency - they affect everyone.
