I am so sick of hearing how it is racist because so many AA's vote for Obama. It might be a valid argument if they had from the beginning, but the truth is these people are not voting for Obama as much as they are voting against Hillary Clinton for discounting their vote and marginalizing their support. Accept it people, her and her husband insulted the Black Community, and the Black Community turned on them. Until that happened, Hillary had the Majority of African American Votes.

Bobbi Get a grip. Drop the racists talk. There are white and black racists everywhere. Some are hidden and some or not. It is better for people to wonder if you are a racist that opening your mouth and proving it. Time for the Dem party to come together to beat Bush and McSAME.

Bobbi why don't you practice what you preach. You are always on here with your hate. I agree with you no need in bashing Clinton anymore it's over. Now it's time to go after McCain.

PS, Haven't these same "racist" black voters voted for white canidates for years on end and backed Bill in his darkest hour?? But what do I know? My vote isn't important I want Obama.

Bobbie it is bonified prejudice when voters come out and say to the pollsters that they voted based on race as 80% of the voters in W.Va did. there is no statistic showing that blacks have stated they voted based on color. I do think the term racist is over-used in most instances in depicitng folks behaviour but prejudice is alive and thriving.

Again this country is making a very big mistake! After Bush got elected everyone who voted for him complained!!!!! Now people are voting for a candidate who plainly and simply lacks experience! He will not beat Macain and again we will be the losers!!!!
