Is it always going to be a question of race?

I have a friend at work who is african american I have known for years. She has always been a republican in the past, but is voting for Obama only because he is half black.

I ask her how she can base such an important decision just on color. And she just turns the argument around saying I'm doing the same thing because I am voting for McCain. I try to explain that I would vote Obama in a second if he was republican.

Do you think she is discriminating? And do you think a lot of voters will be only voting for Obama becasue of race?

    The proof that a lot of people are voting for Obama just because of color can easily be understood by watching the YouTube video, "Obama Supporters Unleashed, Part 1". These people actually admit they are voting for him because he is black (but are we really surprised?)

    If Condi Rice were running, we wouldn't be talking about race, because she is truly qualified. See the difference?

    With dems its *always* about race. Or religion. Or anything else 'du jour' to try and bully people with. Adolph Obama is counting on this racism, the uninformed youth that follow blindly and anyone else easily led around by their nostrils to win this race because he knows that a wise watcher isnt going to vote for him because we think its too important. Youre friend sounds like a racist piece of sh*t. Just like Obama. Pefect match. Let her vote for him. He's gonna lose anyway. Funny how blacks wanted equal rights but are now the biggest racists and seclusionists while the liberals support that with their white giult...

    BHO isn't black, he is Arab as noted by his middle name.

    Yes, many will vote for him because they view him as "black".

    The only person who has pulled the racial card from the deck is BHO. AAAAAND, if by some far chance he happens to loose this election, he will again call on the racial card to "get out of jail free".

    Race, height, weight, age, gender...take your pick. Cry if you like, but there are perceptions embedded in society. It starts in the sandbox. Fix it there, then get back to me.
