    I think you're asking a question in hopes of infuriating people and getting racist answers.

    The truth is, Obama is both White and Black.

    as a white person, no.

    for the most part, especially younger americans, the color of a persons skin is not important. MLK JR taught us that.

    there are some who dont know any better.

    i will be resentful that between obamas plans and bushs wall street buyout package we have already began stumbling towards socialism. but the color of a mans skin has nothing to do with that.

    When the black community has a leader that is not racist, does not pal around with home grown terrorists, make a fortune off Freddie and Fannie bringing our nation down, and spin his way through the election process I will be first in line to vote for him.

    Actually, if you pay attention to what Barack is planning for the economy, you folks will be out of work along with the rest of us. Obama wants to put us all in the same life-boat while he sinks the economy.

    Yes, because most Obama followers are seeing this as a race issue.

    It is not about race, it's about the issues.

    Obama has terrible ideas and associations and poor judgment but that has absolutely nothing to do with race.

    So, my resentment would stem from this turning into a race issue. I hate that so much because it just simply is not.

    I think that is bull. I think your stupid friends are racist, and so are you. I firmly believe in equality. I am totally white, and I believe it is high time we had a black president. Anyway, why should it matter what color our country's leader's skin is??? We're all people. Don't know if you've heard this phrase before: One Planet, One People. Get over yourself, retard.

  • i honestly don't think blacks will benefit from obama as much as they anticipate. they will still fare poor statistically in almost every category and ghetto/hiphop behavior will continue to destroy the culture.

    Your friends are racist... a color of a president doesn't put control in any race.

    Sounds like a stupid question, moderators... where you at?
