It a thin line when you talk about it that way. Voting based on race or sex is wrong. Even sexuality.
        If you believe that some blacks didnt vote against the fing man or the cracker, i d accept your statement. Racism does work both ways in this country though.  
        People vote for who they identify with for the most part and its just the way the system works.

For those who voted for him simply because he's black, it was because of pride.  Best way to pick a Prez?  No.  But I really can't blame black people when it was their first chance to get a black person in office, especially with the way blacks have been treated in this country.  
   
 If a Latino had a good chance, they'd do the same thing.  
   
 People always "root for their own", so the bigots should stop acting like they wouldn't do the same.  
   
 Women will show out in droves in Hillary runs....and they should.  
   
 If a Jew had a great chance to win, they'd all show up too.  
   
 Now, to vote against him just because he's black is nothing but hatred.  
   
 Screw 'em.

Wel, I learned something new today that was never taught in school.  According to a census 5 years before the Civil War ended, 28% blacks owned slaves and only 1.4%(white elitists).  This was never taught to me.

I remember how tense it was in elementary school when Roots would run on TV.  And I also remember a KKK rally in our town, and being terrified that we could hear them screaming back and forth, and we lived a couple miles away.  Then in high school, several of my white friends had crosses burned in their yards for dating blacks.  Today I have mixed relatives, 2nd cousins.  My best friends have mixed grandchildren.  (I even have gay relatives for that matter)  I really wished this country could get past the racism  that this president has stirred.  I pray that my fears I have of Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama or Barry Soetoro is just a horrific nightmare and not true.  

Linked article on Dixie's censored subject.  And also link to Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's new duet Accidental Racist.

"I really wished this country could get past the racism  that this president has stirred."

Tell me how he did this? Wasn't it there already? You don't think the likes of Sarah Palin and other Republicans, who in various ways, implicitly and explicitly, saying that he is 'not one of us,' and the Birther's had something to do with it? Tell me specifically how he has done what you claim.

. 28 % of Blacks didn't own slaves when Egypt was the world leader in the slave trade .
    I hope your 28 % was a typo .

took care of me and taught me to love the blues.  IDK.  I look at the big full beautiful moon and say a prayer for our country.

A widely cited but imperfect source is the 1830 federal census, chosen because it supposedly represents the high point of black slave ownership. One count, taking the data at face value, found 3,777 free black heads of household who had slaves living with them. If that's accurate, about 2 percent of southern free blacks owned slaves.
 
But this number could be off in either direction. It didn't distinguish between slaves the householder owned, live-in slaves he hired, and slaves who merely lodged with him.

In 1830, 80 percent of blacks who owned ten or more slaves lived in Louisiana or South Carolina. I won't say it wasn't weird, but there were only 214 such owners nationwide out of 320,000 free blacks.

pray that my fears I have of Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama or Barry Soetoro is just a horrific nightmare and not true.                                                                                                              In case you are not aware, just the fact that you have to use these names of our president you are trying to imply he is a muslim and he s a fake.                                                                       Uneducated fools like yourself try and make a point with his name and all it does is make you look small, racist, and a phobic of the muslim religion. With that said, let me educate you on his name. His middle name was his fathers name and a person has no choice in life what there parents name them. My last name is jewish but I am not jewish, so does that still make me jewish cuz my name is jewish, of course not. So your attempt at trying to link him to the muslim religion is ridiculous. Besides what difference does it make what religion he is as long as he is a good human being.                                                                                                                                       As far as Barry Soetoro, He  used the nick name of Barry for a very short period of time in grade school, he never used Soetoro which was his mothers 2nd husband. His half sister, which his mother had with her second husband had the name Soetoro. I know many people who were adopted as older children who changed their name once they were adopted. Howeve, Obama was never adopted by his step father and he never used the name Soetoro.   I am curious.... what are you implying by saying these two names in the maner you did. Let's get to your true underlying inferrences with the use of these names.

I remember Ida Mae that took care of me 40 years ago.  I even went to her funeral as an adult.  And if you will allow me to just make a joke.  It was an afternoon funeral, and told my family I would be home in a couple hrs and it was dark before I got back home.  We celebrated Ida's life!  How come nobody remembers going to school with our president?  And my point is, that I grew up with racism in my town.  But it was not taught in my home.  So you calling me racist or phobic about muslims doesn't work on me.  My home was open to all my classmates, and we built homecoming floats in our garage.  

I pray that Obama leaves this country better than he found it from GWB.  He is equally as bad a politican to me as Obama, if not worse.
