  • [-]HRC is the winner among racists, whose vote BHO could only win were he to turn white. It irritates me that she exploits this.

      • Except that black voters have always supported the Clintons and would have still had she gotten the nod. I consider much of the black voter voting for him, the same as older woman that are voting for her. They just want to see this historic moment so much.

        • I am black and I hate this. I hate that black people and rich white people make black people look like morons. That we need the pity vote so we can WIN! It is so annying. Obama shouldn't win. Bottom line. If we are honest, the majority of black people don't vote (their problem) and the fact that they vote based ONLY on the color of someones skin makes them look dumb.

        • yeah, but you are missing it. white rich people vote for him, for the same reason black people do. JUST becasue he is black. if he were white, black people, and rich white liberals, wouldn't vote for him either!

              • You know how many people are voting for HRC b/c she is woman? Who are you to tell someone that they can't be excited that a black man has risen to the very top and they want to support that? Are you really going to tell someone that survived segregation, that they can't be proud and inspired by that? Also, if blacks would vote for any black, then Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would have gotten much further than they did. Maybe it is THIS black man that is the whole package for some blacks? Furthermore (lol), blacks have supported the white dem time and time again and their vote has been considered guaranteed, if the white candidate can't handle having to work for that vote, than that's a problem. Obama will certainly have to shuck and jive ...

    • Really interesting; I have a friend who grew up in Iran and always thought he had led a pretty restricted life (they had to leave because he tried to date a girl - long story) but that was an entirely different level.
