Aren't black women women?

Bill Clinton said that he expected Blacks to vote for Obama, and women to vote for Senator Clinton. With almost 50% of the S. Carolina primary electorate being African-American he felt that the state would go Obama. Aren't half of the African-Americans women? Do they not count as women? Doesn't anyone credit Blacks or women for having free will?

    This just goes to show that black women have 2 strikes against them.

    #1 Being black

    #2 Being a women

    And to answer your question: Yes black women are women but I do believe that black women are counted by color and not by sex.

    Black people have gone through alot and are still going through alot just because their skin color is diffrerent so don't be mad because vote for Obama, maybe some black people want a man in the White House that looks more like them. God's knows it's about time to put some color in the White House!

    Of course but anyone with half a brain knows the majority of blacks (men & women) will vote Obama because he's black they may figure it's about time.

    I can see why he would say that, it seems to make sense, African-americans would want an african-american president and women would like to see a woman in charge, but i mean it all really depends i mean, who knows who people will vote for, it shouldnt matter what race or sex they are, qualifications should matter

    Basically, all he said was it's understandable if people, after looking at the candidate's positions and finding some that are acceptable, use other criteria for narrowing down the final choice.

    And that's true - people can vote however they want, many evangelicals may lean towards Huckabee, Mormons may like Romney, military people may favor McCain.

    As a White guy of Viking descent I comprehend i'm no longer meant to remark on a subject remember like this, yet i myself do no longer care. My spouse is chinese language, and that i detect women persons of all races and colours to be suitable. i think of the rationalization why white women persons and black adult males date is for an analogous the rationalization why I even have dated black women persons and Asian women persons. they seem good. I even have dated black women persons and been very happy with the stories because of the staggering hotness of black women persons. All women persons are suitable, and if i replaced right into a quickly white women persons, i think i might discover adult males of all races and colours to be suitable. Thank God i'm a guy because of the fact i like to be the guy, and that i've got chanced on women persons of all races desire to place as much as my masculine nature. it somewhat is the organic order of the human species for women folk persons to be submissive and adult males dominant. In my stories I even have chanced on black women persons to be a lot greater submissive than white women persons, and white women persons greater submissive than Asian women persons. possibly that's why i like black women persons a lot, they make me experience manly. so some distance as white human beings being much less stepped forward than blacks, that's only an ignorant racist fact likely made with the aid of an extremely depressing guy or woman. it somewhat is authentic there have been many staggering civilizations in Africa for the period of historic previous, however an analogous would desire to additionally be stated of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. For anybody to have faith one race better to a various is small-minded certainly. Please shop your ideas open to human beings from different cultures and races. The human species has had sufficient mindless violence and bloodshed because of the fact of close-mindedness. If 2 human beings love one yet another than that's that. it somewhat is organic to wish all the persons of one's race to no longer date interracially, yet that should not be a useful point of view. individuals are going to this component whoever they want, and anybody else's opinion is of no effect. This project has no longer something to do with out of control immigration with the aid of the way. that's only undeniable stupidity.

    women , men, who cares.. if they are black they are gonna vote for obama..what are you even talking about,,i have heard numerous people say they were gonna vote for him cause hes black. in case you havent notived we have never had a black president . Blacks want to see a black president, doesnt matter where he stands on any issues or whatever so they will vote for him for that reason alone, and it sickens me that we live in this type of society that does not vote for the better of AMERICA, but for a gender or race color. personally , hillary or obama shouldnt be president. he doesnt have any experience and know how. Hell , he has only been a senator for a couple years, and that is the only big political expereince he has.. hillary, well. i dont know of anything the clintons have done for americans but raise taxes. she already ran the whitehouse twice when bill was in office getting bjs under the desk and not worrying about this country.bill clinton is no better than obama and obama is no better than hillary. if you put all 3 of them in a barrel you just have a barrel full of ****.one contributes as much **** to the barrel as the other but its still one big barrel of worthless ****!!add a republican and you have a high price barrel of useless **** ..Geez, wake up Americans!!!Get off this race, gender , and dem , repub ****!!! its not getting us anywhere as americans..Vote for somebodys ideas,goals,ambitions.thats the only thing that makes canidates different that should matter..Im all for getting rid of income taxes!!!! none of you even mentioned the canidate that wants to do that.that is the only thing i have heard outa this whole presidential race that we will benefit from..obama speaks of change but has no clue of what to change or how to change it.the only good thing he posses is his way with words.. woopityy doooo!!! an uppidty rich guy for president.(oh upidity black rich guy).Hillary speaks of change but wants another 4 years in office ,and just wants to be the 1st woman president.she already was in there for 8 years , how is that change?if either of those 2 get in office we will either be running in circles, going backwards, or staying stuck..neither one will have the balls to do anything when a nuc is dropped on our door step.. its coming,, oh yea, you wait it is coming.and we wont have anybody to make a life saving country defending decision..

    Obama has never made this campaign about race, the Clintons have and now too many people have fallen for it... Both candidates scream "look at the facts - look at my resume"... what we all should do is get off Yahoo Answers and research in detail what each has done - Then you will see who is full of it and who isnt...

    Maybe they should split their vote , one half as a woman , and one half as a black person .

    I think what he was trying to say that he expects ALL blacks, men and women, to vote for Obama, and women of other races to vote for Obama as well. It just didn't come out to clear, probably because he is peering through the purple haze of one of his last Monica-dipped cigars.
