I don’t give a tinkers damned what race someone running for office is. I care about their policies. This guy is a Marxists. I fought a war against Marxists and served 20+ years in the military during the cold war era, when we actually defended against communism and Marxists, not elected them to our highest office. I have yet to speak with, or hear, one black person say they will vote for McCain. Every place I have been the only word out of their mouths has been Obama when talking about voting, or Obama stickers on their vehicles. When J.C. Watts starts saying he is conflicted about voting for Obama, because the first black is on the ticket, then I have a huge problem. If I said I was voting for McCain over the black candidate simply because McCain was a white guy, I would be labeled immediately as a racist. However, you let all blacks vote for Obama because he is black, and well, they were just voting for their kind or the first chance a black has had for the office, thus we HAVE to vote for him, regardless that he is a socialist pig. And there is no way in hell McCain gets 20% of the black vote. No way, no how. There are not that many black military personnel.

I can only assume that you are white. And this subject has come up before on FR. It is difficult to explain without seeming biased. I am proud that a black man could be considered for president after knowing the history of racial strife, Jim Crow laws and other stains on our history. The irony is he is not really black (not all the way) and he is not the descendent of slaves like most black Americans are.
