    He is only there because he is black, so he's right by default.

      Would love to see the same people polled with their views towards their own race.

        I feel that a significant amount of the problems facing the black community have been made worse by their own decisions, but I can acknowledge history and see that there is plenty of blame to go around.
        What percentage of currently living economically active blacks has been born possessing full civil rights? I think more than half. They have no one to blame but themselves if they fail at life.

          Just like Russia has no right to complain about how it is viewed by the world.

            It's not a tempest in a teacup to mothers.

            When Palin came into the picture many leftist TV types said that she couldn't be VP because she has to look after her 5 kids. If she was VP she would be a bad mother.

              You're serious?


              There is no way you are serious about this.
              I would guess that blacks will vote along racial lines in this election 20 to 1.

                I don't recall seeing that. I remember seeing a lot of right wing pundits saying don't attack her for it, but I didn't see anyone actually doing the attacking.

                  As a percentage, blacks are voting more because of the race issue than whites.

                    Given that Black people vote for the Democrats by a 4 to 1 margin, and that Obama has a 9/10 margin, the effect of race in the race among Blacks will be very small, and limited to Blacks who normally vote Republican. Yet more proof that Republicans are racist.

                      I'm sure no such implication has been made against Hillary Clinton, either from her days as First Lady, or her recent campaign. No one accusing her of pimping out her daughter, for instance?

                        Isn't that how many blacks normally vote for democrats?

                        While some blacks are racist, that isn't going to change the election any.

                          Lancer's statistics are made up, JM. Black people vote Democrat about 80% and GOP about 20%. For this election, the numbers are 90%/10% in favor of Obama, so the effect isn't anywhere near as big as dumbasses would have it.

                            Those kind of statistics are the best

                              It's pretty hateful stuff. Unless you're one of the haters yourself you get turned off. This will cause the dems to lose another election as the rest of us let out a collective "YUCK", and vote for McCain/Palin.
