So far, the only reason why you would vote for Obama is because he is Black. Do yourself a favor and add more value to your vote than that. Okay, now you have completely crossed over into sillyhood.

For that matter I cannot think of any white politicians in my lifetime that have stuck their neck and/or their career on the line for African American issues. I'm ready to be educated, Duane.

I won't be holding my breath.

There should not be any question as to who any of us will vote for. We're so quick to criticize Obama about what he has or has not addressed; about where his allegiance is; or about whether he "has our back". What have either of the Clintons done? What will she do? The only reason bill clinton got our vote the first time was because he played his horn on Arsenio Hall. That was all it took to buy the black vote. There is not way in HELL I would vote for a white person over a black person -- EVER. I'd vote for Clarence Thomas' idiotic behind before I would vote for Clinton or any of her cohorts. Why? Because if Clarence were to win, people might get used to seeing a black face there from time to time. Then the next time, perhaps we could get someone in there of substance -- like Obama!
