I am sure there are people voting for Palin just cause she is a woman or Obama just cause he is black.

Ignorance isn't owned by any race or party.


It is funny too that the men responses during the debate elevated when they spoke of Palin. So could they be voting over sex appeal also?:wink: laugh

You know white people can't say or do **** without some idiot crying racism.I'm sick of it myself.Yet of course it's cool to make song after song with the N word and talking trash about women.Double standard.


offtopic JUST BY YOUR TONE I KNOW YOU ARE............SO ONCE AGAIN THIS IS ABOUT RACE RIGHT.....................

I'm not white honey bun and what tone is that?How do you type a tone? The election is not about race for me but the issues.Don't blanket judge all people because you have a chip on your shoulder .Let's stop blaming whitey for all our problems and do something positive cause you can't tell me that there aren't some Americans who are voting for Obama because he is of color.Keep it real.
:heart:I love you darlinghuh What about all the times black people voted for white people and never had a problem doing it?:smile:The african american community tends to trend democratic anyway.:smile:And how do you account for all the numbers of white people being for Senator Obama if it was a racial thing?:smile:

Mirror when you think about it who else did they have to vote for other than white candidates until recently?As for voting race,I can only speak for me.
:heart: Im just pointing out that you dont see all of this conflict and consternation amongst black voters who support white representatives the same way you see it amongst the white community.flowerforyou

flowerforyou Senator Obama being president is not going to change anything for (specifically)African Americans except perhaps giving them an inspirational figure to aspire to be like.flowerforyouWhats wrong with that?flowerforyou

There are a lot of great African Americans to emulate and I hope to God people do not vote based on that but the issues.
:smile: Senator Obama has all of the qualities that define an excellent leader.:smile: And its been proven that African Americans will vote for white democrats over black republicans.:smile: So its not a race thing, its a party thing.:smile:

I'm all for partying!!
laugh I meant political party loyalty darlinglaugh

Well considering Black folks are using the N word that does not make it racist. The only way it could be racist is if whites are mad because they can't use the word, which would be racist.

There are black folks who do not like the N word even being used by themselves. That is an internal issue. Whites should not ever use the word, EVER, unless they are racists. Even the white folks who hang out with black folks and use the word fluently are wrong to use it. They disrespect any black person within hearing range by saying it.

If you are sick of hearing about racism, work to stop it. Then it will stop.

I do my part in calling racism whenever I see it or hear it.

No offense intended here at all

I would vote for SARAH Palin, but I would not vote for Hillary Clinton.

I think some people are voting based on race but not one person on here would admit that
drinker Yeah a lot of the Republicans are voting on race but they wont admit it(except at McCain rallys)laugh LOLlaugh


You are sooooo right Mirror. And those rallies are hatefilled.

It is really sad to think after all of this time we have not evolved from those hatefilled creatures of old.

You're just jealous because she co-opted the love from the public, and the excitment, that you all think DEMS should be getting. LOL No one is excited about OBAMA...

BTW...I was making an analogy... It really didn't require the sort of answer you gave. DUH!

Definitely no jealousy involved there. Sarah does not speak for all women, not even half of women in this country. Can't be jealous of a woman who is stuck 50 years or so back in the evolution of women.laugh

You know how music goes. The shock value for the kids to their parents or society is more important than content. It was the same with our generation. They just have to be more vulgar and explicit to get shock these days. I don't like it myself much but I will fight for the freedom of all who speak or make music to do it.

Women are the worst when it comes to judging their own gender.It gets vicious quick.Sarah Palin is not a representative of American women.Especially single mothers,career women and any female with an IQ over 12.
