Who represents Black Americans the best?

Does the African American population really feel that a white woman is a stronger leader than a black man? Why so mant siding with Hillary instead of Barrak?

    Black Americans are torn on this issue. On the one hand, they deeply love and respect Bill Clinton and believe that they must vote for Hillary out of respect for Bill. On the other hand, when a black politician runs for office, statistics show that over 90% of blacks vote for him because he's black. So to make themselves feel better, they try to put down Obama every chance they get. It's weird.

    My only question would be this: What did Bill Clinton actually accomplish for the African American community while he was in office?

    As a white male that supports Barak Obama, I think that something must be done to end the disparity between whites and blacks. This is a class issue and the Democrats have promised much and delivered little.

    What good are Civil Rights without Economic Equality? Let me answer that for you - NOTHING.

    Civil Rights are a bunch of meaningless words without Economic Equality to give African Americans the chance to take advantage of those rights.

    The Clinton's have done nothing effective in this area. The issue must move away from race and become a class issue in order for something positive to occur.

    I believe that this is the direction that Obama is going for. The Clinton's have uses race in their campaign because that is how they view the issue - the old way. Well the old way didn't work. A strong president that can force corporate America to invest in the inner city with real jobs that have decent pay, that is what is needed for real equality. This can be done by taking away the tax breaks and other incentives they currently enjoy.

    BTW - Ron Paul is a Nazi.

    YES they do.

    Hilary and Bill Clinton have constantly supported the black community and will continually do it as they have done.

    Obama is a Johnny come lately that has no plan,no experience,and no qualification to be the leader of the free world.

    Americans of all colors,and race can see through his fancy talk and smoke screen .

    They will not have the wool pulled over their eyes like we did in 2000 with Bush.

    Enough is enough America stand up and vote for the only candidate who has the qualifications and experience to change our country.

    maybe because Black Americans like White Americans, with the exception of few stupid ones on either side, realize that it is time we started voting for who might be strongest and best for us... and forget this whole colour thing. I like Obama, i really do and i would vote for him if he just had a little more experience. Hillary has that and I think she might get my vote.. but i am insulted by anyone who puts a colour on my vote.

    I am not that stupid, but they are if they think that is how everyone thinks.

    I think that Hilary is losing the black vote a little more each day.

    S. Carolina will tell the tale.

    We INDIVIDUALLY represent ourselves the best.

    What a loaded question. Between Hillary and Obama who represents White Americans the best? How insane does that sound? How about Armenians? or Greeks?

    Which GOP candidate best represent white Americans? Which level of insanity does the preceding question reach?

  • 1 decade ago

    We aren't...trust me Obama has the Black vote hands down.

    So have no worries my friend, the media will distort this fact, but ACTUAL Black folks will vote for Obama in droves.

    No one represents Black Americans !!

    Not Hillary, not Barrack, not anyone.

    African americans who can't see that everyone, including Hilary has and is using them for political gain have air in their heads.
