Congrats, you’re one of the less than 5% who see Obama for what he truly is, i.e. about 95% of African Americans are voting for him, including legions of otherwise staunch black republicans.

To me, a black republican is like a feminist republican: A total oxymoron. No offense if you are one. :-/

There are a lot of issues for which I think blacks clearly see the light better–MUCH BETTER than whites, such as their overwhelming opposition to the Iraq war in 2002. I can think of dozens of other examples both historical and current.

This is of course true of ALL groups: No matter what group you belong too, be the classification by race, gender, age, school, club, religion, political party, political ideology, sports team affiliation, etc., there’s always a sore spot or two for which you cannot see straight, where you “project” your feelings and are simply incapable of being objective.

For African Americans, one such sore spot is when a black person cries “I’m the victim of white racism!” Because African Americans do suffer from so many forms of racism, both “soft” (non verbal) and “hard” (racial profiling, harder time for the same crime, etc.), as a group, they’re simply incapable of of being objective, e.g. OJ, Michael Jackson, Marion Berry, Halle Berry, Kwame Kilpatrick, etc., and of course the great Barack Obama. It’s so disturbing how often high profile black celebrities and politicians play the race card when they get into trouble. They do it because it works–or at the very least, it changes the subject to some degree and garners them sympathy from the people they are preying upon.

As for his legal career… He is no Thurgood Marshall—NOT BY A [DELETED] LONG SHOT. For the eight long years during which he worked as a “civil rights lawyer”, he never argued a single case. No, he was really just a low level bureaucrat, doing research and writing up paper work.

Yes, yes. I like this characterization very much. How true. How utterly true.

And rather eloquent and learned–to boot! :- )

Indifference.

I was wrong. It became clear to me that most of the dead-enders here are not against Obama because they support Clinton, but because he is black. At least have the guts and the fortitude to own up to the real reasons behind your dislike of Obama.

Well, obamabot, this “dead-ender’s” position is that he is unfit and unqualified to be POTUS. I don’t care if he’s purple polka-dot. This isn’t an issue of color, you ignorant race-baiter; it is an issue of competence and fitness for office. He is neither. So take your sophomoric talking points to HuffPo, where they love your sort of hogwash.

I’ve been spending far too much time myself reading posts and comments. I’d rank the reasons loosely as follows:

1. Rejection of Obama and his supporter’s hate, sexism, and misogyny.

2. Obama’s rudeness to Hillary Clinton

3. Obama’s lies (especially those about his associations with the likes of terrorist Ayers, racist and American preachers like Wright, and so forth)

4. Obama’s lack of experience

I’d say there is some definite trepidation on the issue of abortion that does give people pause.

Anyway, there are VERY few people that offer any indication that race has any role in their decision.

You see, holding a rally helps those people who are having a tough time. Whereas doing a job Obama was elected to do, is not necessary because others will do the lifting for him.

Why, yes it does.
