Why is calling for a African American replacement for Obama Senate seat ok? ?

I don't think calling for equal representation is unfair in any way. Obama was the only Black man there and now there will be none.

White people are already very well represented in the Senate, so a white man calling for an empty seat to be filled by another white man would just seem like he wanted to exclude other races.

Everything in the U.S. seems to be totally flipped upside down from how it should be doesn't it? I know exactly what you mean. Different standards apply for minorities. Who cares if the person is qualified right? As long as they are black.

Do you have a link to verify this?

If what you say is in fact, true (not calling you a liar), then I would have to agree. The only possible explanation I could conceive of is they want someone who is familiar with the challenges that face the constituency. But regardless, it is wrong and I agree that the best qualified should fill any position, whether it's in government or the private sector.

The liberals are the ones to blame they question all that is politically correct soon we will need permission to sneeze in public from a black man! Thank you liberals!

its not ok its all racism doesnt matter how you look at it, but as long as its in favor of anyone who isnt white..its a legit thing..its the new "in"thing

because its acceptable to be black and racist

I demand that half of that seat be filled with a white person

It would only be fitting

because racism among Dems is perfectly acceptable by them - look at who they elected.

its ok to them let a white say that and all heck breaks loose

because obama is a racist bigot and he wants everyone to know. and he was successful at they cause we all know it.

It's not no way to defend it, any one who does is a fool
