I’m all for change and I’m not a racist person, but I hate feeling like reverse racism put Obama in office. Here is another clip showing the level of understanding of some of Obama’s Harlem supporters. Some may have seen it already.

It’s our right to vote, but our responsibility as Americans to choose the candidate we agree with on issues rather than the color of skin. After the president is choosen for the right reasons, if the person elected is black then I’m all for celebrating another step in history.

AtWhatCost… are you serious? You poor simple simple little creature. Please tell me you are not mistaking 3 soundbites from howard stern for journalistic evidence that en mass, african american voters didn’t know Obama’s policy’s and thought palin was his running mate. If you truly believe this, then A) your stupider than the folks interviewed B) you’ve never conducted a large survey or poll C) You either live in western PA, or you’ve never been there.
My point, if you ask enough people a question while they’re being put on the spot, you’ll get every damn answer out there, and you’ll notice there’s no comment about how many people the show polled, who, or where they are.
Secondly, did you pay attention for 3 seconds over the past year to the COUNTLESS interviews done in rural and urban “White” communities, that not only pvertly stated that they would not vote for Obama because he was black, but that they didn’t know his policies and didn’t care. Do you think for one blink of an eye that if I went around asking them about clean coal, joe bidden, or what state McCain was from, they’d have the slightest idea or care.
The saddest thing about our country is the ignorance, lack of participation and respect for education, and personal responsibility to know, understand, and act, which you seem to be pointing out by crying wolf with reverse racism. I’m sorry to find out that you’re part of that mass ignorance, kidding, you’re wonderful, but c’mon, he earned this! Celebrate now my friend, this is whatever we allow it to be, let us honor it now and make it the dream, without an asterix!
