See, again your problem is, I'm not an RWN.

I don't deny some will vote for Obama for ASSUMING he is mythically better for the middle class than his mythical opponents. (When in reality, both parties are out to f*ck us, just at the behest of different special interests).

I also don't deny what racism I see with my own eyes... hear with my own ears... see in the data... understand because I have mental faculties at least slightly above that of an 8 year old...



I CALL BS!!

Had they voted for him because they would not vote for a white person based on his color then I would say it was racist.



Sorry to break this news, but... to do anything to the exclusion of the alternative, solely because the skin staring back at you is the color you like, is racist.



Perhaps it was not the color of the skin that they liked.

Perhaps it had nothing to do with a color of skin but rather the idea of how far they had come. They were voting for an ideal.

That seems just as plausible to me and not racist.

I can see it from your angle as well and I have no doubt that there were people that voted for McCain and Obama because of their color.

You only get to accusing all black people of racism if you're deliberately ignorant of history, deliberately refuse to understand motives, generally argue from bad faith.

Also, deciding Samuel L Jackson gets to speak for all black people just because he's black is pretty messed up too.





Yyyyeahh kinderstrawman... that's precisely what we're doing...

I view that as being just as evil. An ideal world based on... skin color.

Pssst. That's racism.

I guess we disagree then.

A people looking for reaffirmation that there is equality does not strike me as racism.

I see it as idealism. (Not something I condone either)

To be fair he is just being honest and i respect him for that. Many voters vote for similar reasons but the dont tell anyone the real reason.

Love a straight talker as long as the person isnt a total asshole

It's just painful and embarrassing to read the posts of 4/5 RWNs here. What a bunch of crazy morans.
