    I went through your last 6 questions on here and read everyone's responses and I didn't see anything racial- so unless you can explain more about where the racism is in the answer to whatever question... I would have to say YOU must be the racist.. to read anything racial into what I read seems ridiculous... disagreeing with you does not mean racist- reading race into statements that are not racial is being a racist.. and until people like you stop reading race into everything- we will never rid the World of racism... Let it GO

    People are afraid. Fear is a great controller. The present administration is a huge fan of fear. There was an article in Christian Monitor that talked about Bin Laden will have a field day if Obama is elected. He is "according to the article" a Muslim in their eyes because it passes from the father and he is rejecting the faith. It is fear that gives people control of the situation. I also think that a lot that is on this program is used to defeat the Democrats. (Why is Obama still not in the Yahoo spelling dictionary??)

    Because people get to say here what they could never say in their place of work. They can also get a very racist looking black avatar and nobody will ever know who they are or so they think. Everything you write here is permanent it can be looked up 20 years from now when Yahoo may collapse and may be bought out by some company that can sell your info for profit or just make it public.

    The right wing is racist and elitist from the get go. That's why Obama has been accused of both racism and elitism - which is pretty funny.

    The right wing is bankrupt now and only has it's lies left. They're completely dedicated to angry Swiftboat attacks because it has worked in the past. So that's what they do. Right wingers are scared little morons wetting their pants in the corner.

    I have yet to hear anyone say that they wouldn't vote for Obama because he's black. Not a single person. Most have very valid reasons to not vote for him from him being extremely left wing to being inexperienced to having connections with controversial individuals that people would rather not see affiliated with the presidency. But none of that stops us from being accused of being racist for no other reason than we don't want to give Obama our vote. No actual evidence of racism...just attempted character assassinations and other poo flinging over nothing more than an individual's right to chose the person they think is best qualified. I mean, seriously, I'm obligated to vote for Obama for no other reason than the color of his skin? So tell me, who are the racists again?

    I disagree. There is lots of name calling.

    For example, if someone indicates they are anti-illegal, they are called a racist even though this issue has nothing to do with race!

    BTW, we are stating FACT when we indicate Obama said some racist things (favoring Blacks over whites) and Wright is a bigot/racist.

    Y!A is flooded by little slick racist comments but Yahoo lets all this answers stay posted , i notice they are very selective with what they delete.
