Dems' racial prejudice may cost Obama votes

That would be because the GOP is the party of racists and has been since the Democrats kicked them out of our party in the 1940's and 50's. I have no doubt that real Democrats, white or people of color, will vote for Barack. In the end, when they are standing in that voting booth, they just will not be able to vote for more of the same disaster of the last 8 years. Barack by 10%. As the man said; "It's the economy, stupid" and we Democrats own that issue.

Only 59 percent of Clinton's white Democratic supporters wanted Obama to be president.

That may be true, but in the end they will vote for Barack, because the idea of four more years of a Bush administration is just simply too terrible to contemplate for any real American.

Well the title makes think, hummm how could that not be true. It couldn't, because someone is never happy with everything at some point. Thus if you have a allot of white folks who placed there hopes on two white democrats and one is not on the ticket, then you got beef.

Now the question i wondered is why that would be such a problem to give that vote to the non white man so as to not give a chance to the old white man because you didn't get the white woman that you wanted. Humm

But i then thought since the white woman of the democrats didn't get picked, would you dare let other whites folks vote in an old white man that picked the northern white woman to run things if the old white man falls down and cant get up.

So to this non white man, the other non white man and his white right hand man is looking allot better to me then the old man with white woman with white kids with a white child that going to have another white child, that will get another oddly picked white name, that spends allot of her time in a white wonderland away from allot of non white type people. hummm

So thanks for letting a m.b.a. degree white school educated non white babble on about the reality that some whites just like whites which made this non white man comment , so other whites might wonder if a non white man might be better then the last 8 yrs of a white man in power that could continue, if a non white man doesn't get the votes in November to beat the old white man and his northern white woman princess.

There are racists and then there are racists. The Klan are truly racist, believing non whites are inferior and do not deserve the same rights as whites. This is the minority as far as racism now exits in our country. But then there are those who have negative feelings about African-Americans because in fact, many AAs dress differently, speak differently, have committed criminal behavior, and represent a larger percentage of people on government assistance. These whites would like not to have these feelings and truly believe all men are created equal, but nonetheless distrust AA's because of certain real or perceived stereotypes. For those who fall in this category and who are hesitant to vote for Obama for these reasons, I would have you consider this. AA's are disenfranchised, many are where they are because they have never felt a sense of hope or belonging. What you want for AAs is what the majority of AAs want. What entitlements have never been able to achieve is this sense of hope, and therefore things have never gotten better. Obama offers this hope, not more entitlements. He represents an opportunity for AAs to believe in themselves and their future. Anyone who fears Obama's plan is to give AAs a free ride is mistaken. He will take away their excuses and allow them to erase their own stereotypes. This is the kind of social change we need.

Dr Danny, it is reason enough not to vote for Obama because of his poor judgment and lack of character.

Backroads, Backwoods, Backwards - Your argument is an insult to both intelligent thinking Democrats and Republicans. Both of our candidates are competent, capable and of good character. Agree or disagree with them on the issues, not some opinion you pulled out of a skunk hole in your backyard.

P.A. - It's shameful the way both parties spend money. It's shameful that both candidate's have resorted to negative ads. There is no good or bad guy here, this is politics in America and it has all become shameful. Right now our country is so equally divided, that any mistake by either candidate could determine this race. I would contend that most average Dems and Repubs want the same things, but we disagree dramatically on how to get there. I don't think either of us are evil, but certainly some of us have become so blinded by party allegiance we've lost all common sense. To me it's like the story of the Emperor's Clothes, he's naked. In other words, things are really bad right now and we need a change. For me, that's a Democratic administration.

I liked what Obama said on 60 minutes this evening. There will be whites who don't vote for him because of his race. And there will be blacks that vote for him because of his race. It's basically a wash.

I can agree with that.

AMR 1960- are u a space cadet or something, what on gods green earth are you babbling about. How could this be the most racist primary when this primary was the first that had this type of candidates.

Wow man, as a black man, i thought it went very well and those with reasonable minds voted for the most reasonable Democrat that could have the most potential to move the party forward. Nobody is a racist just cause they didn't vote for a black man. They would be racist if they went out and publicly had a parade with bull horns in the street stating "don't vote for Obama during the primarys cause he is black".

I think we should vote not to let you post any more cause you are just way off course space man!

Oh when will the time come that political candidates will stop dividing people into groups . For that ethic divisions in which race is apart of it runs contrary to the ideals of looking at people as one American nation. It is one thing for community groups to celebrate their roots . It is quite another for some to do that narrow minded race mouth shooting off to gain or maintain political power in the hood or national office. Folk's minds are getting away from those politicians by starting to look at a candidate's character and actions leaving the politician's minds behind. If the racist card varnishes then will those leaders like Jesse Jackson who depend on using race to stay in the limelight will vanish also.

I have heard so many people say I couldn't vote for him because he is black or that blacks are lazy????? Let me tell you something. The man is far from lazy. What has he been doing for the past two years on the campaign trail? I would say that is has been pretty exhausting and he has been doing it for Americans.....Get it? I would also say. That if your house was on fire and a black fireman came to put it out would you send him away? PEOPLE OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND WE NEED BARACK OBAMA .... Use your heads and quit being so petty this is the 21st century.

John McCain is the sorriest excuse for a possible choice to be president with all his latest shinanigans. Postpone the debate? Give me a break. He apparently doesn't know what multi-tasking is. and I would say a president needs to be able to multi-task.

Back to the issue of race. I am a white senior woman. And I don't care if a Person is Green. If he is right and does right by all of us what have we got to lose? OR gain. Give it a chance. People make choices some bad, some good. I know that the Rev Wright issue was terrible. But it was what Barack took away from it in his own heart and soul and gave it to God to carry him on. He has so far proved that he is trusting what his White Mother and Grandparents gave him to carry him toward something that can make them proud and all of us. and proud of our country. If you could really do something to make your parents or grandparents proud wouldn't you do everything you were taught to make it so.....? Wouldn't you want to change things for the better for your own children.? I will give him the benefit of the doubt that what he has said is true. I would be proud of him if he were my son. I do know that Christians stand tallest when they are on their knees.
