What's Race Got To Do With It?
Posted November 03, 2008 at 9:08 PM

African Americans are expected to vote overwhelmingly for Barack Obama to become the first Black president of the United States. Are African Americans voting for Obama *because* he is Black?

Also Professor Griff asks, "What if Obama wins and white folks go crazy?"

This election has proven that we are not quite over skin color as an issue in the US. When it comes to choosing the right candidate, what's race got to do with it?

Race has everything to do with it.  I was terribly upset that osama won.  i do not want a black muslim for president and i cannot wait until he resigns or is assasinated (so no one takes my words in the wrong way cause i know how Y'ALL are - I live in FL and I would never kill anyone).  I am going to vote for Paris if she really tries to become President!  PRESIDENT PARIS!!  Whoop Whoop!  We should have a white heiress for pres, how aesome that would be!


oh, i already know you are going to say you are racist!  yes, and i'm darn proud of it!  =]

Your ignorance makes me feel sorry for you rather than being angry at you.
