For your information, I am black. I live in Queens, NY, so until you live and work with predominantly African-American people as I do, don't you dare talk to me about what you think you understand about blacks. To African-American voters, this is the chance of a lifetime to elect a black president, and that is the only thing that matters to most of them, including most of my family and friends, and this is the wrong attitude to have about a presidential election. No blacks are not stupid. Nobody but you said that. Are they blinded by racial views? If you do not believe this answer is yes, you are kidding yourself. How is white democrats not voting for Obama any more racist than black people voting for Obama because he is black? Racism is racism, no matter how you'd like to spin it. Like you, I also deal with racism in my family. It's their unwillingness to open their minds that will continue this trend, and I try everyday to change that. Personally, I voted for McCain, because I feel he is better suited to run this great nation. Obama has the gift of elegant speech, but listening to his words, there are just too many of Obama's ideals that I just do not agree with. I am watching a black congressman on television right now talk about how much of a victory this is going to be for the black community, and you can sit there and tell me this election is not about race? I'm afraid you need to wake up. Stacey, you have no idea what you are talking about, especially in calling me a racist. For your information, I am black.

And I really hope him to win and try to bring about positive change in America, and undo the mess created by Bush. The society and culture of America are really admirable and I wonder how Bush could mislead such a nice society to WAR and hatred. Well McCain is doing the same too now... and people are voting for him... well Stacey I would definitely favor Obama over McCain, he understands people specially the common people more than McCain or Palin :)

That is not only unfair but irrational. Do you think black people are stupid? Obama is winning because his platform has better policies. Lets get ONE THING STRAIGHT....it's not the black people being racist by voting for someone of their race. IT IS HISTORICALLY WHITE DEMOCRATS BEING RACIST by NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE. I'm white and it makes me sick to see so much racism in my own family and community. Obama will win, by the grace of god. CF is racist. That is not only unfair but irrational. Do you think black people are stupid? Obama is winning because his platform has better policies.

I’m white and it makes me sick to see so much racism in my own family and community.

Obama will win, by the grace of god.

The only reason Obama is winning is because he has the black vote. If you want statistical evidence to back this up, check out this poll from Military Times: http://www.militarytimes.com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp.pdf Any other poll out there shows the same trend. Do some research, and you will find this to be true as well. Most African-Americans who are voting for him have no idea where he stands on any of the issues at hand, and they really don't care; they are casting their vote based on race. Give me a break.
