    Apparently the story is going viral. Good old media. This goes viral but the Vote Black buttons at the DNC barely got a mention.

    This country and this election are so out of control that it's ridiculous.

    I can truly understand the sentiment of Black people who vote for Obama just because he's Black. Whether or not folks want to admit it, a lot of folks won't vote for him because he is Black and a lot will support Romney just because he is White.

    Just continues to show the divide in the country. There's gonna be trouble.

    the divide is not equal. The racial favoritism is heavier on the black side. It is most likely that there are very few who will favor a white President over an black one.

    Now I don't know how you determine that to be most likely. Numbers wise, there probably are just as many folks who vote for a White candidate because he is White as there are Blacks who vote for Obama because he is Black.


    It is to be expected that Blacks would favor a Black president over a White one. I think you could probably deduce that for a long time, Whites have favored white candidates over black candidates or any other minority candidate and that's why you've never had a non-White president up to this point.

    I don't know how you determine "probably are just as many folks" and "alot". Anyway liberals have a great tendency to exaggerate white racism.

    And my experience is that Blacks are right in a lot of instances that Whites don't view racism the way they do, and are often times blind to it.

    That is right they don't. And their viewed is often skewed because of the race pimps like Sharpton and Jackson who make a good living at constantly moving the bar on what racism is to gain power, prestige, and money. Accusing whites of racism has become a windfall of money and power and becomes an excuse.

    By and large it is not to be believed.

    That's just naive. Sharpton and Jackson are the Islamic radical version of Blacks and their deplorable behavior( something both Blacks and Whites agree upon) should definitely not be used as a measure of the truthfulness of racism.

    Unfortunately it is the standard for the entire black community.

    That's a racist view if I have ever seen one.

    And exactly why is it "to be expected"?

    Same reason most whites prefer a white president, "birds of a feather."

    "Vote black" buttons are politically correct, "vote white" buttons are not. If it was not a political issue, I suspect that "vote white" buttons would be more popular - at least on BB.

    Good thing you're not a statistician.

    Sheesh. Translation: Blacks are expected to be racist.

    And here I thought it was because prior to 2008 there had never been a black candidate for President.

    You seem to know as little about what racism is as do a lot of Blacks.

    It's to be expected because there had never been a Black President. Every election cycle had been a recycle of the same old geriatric White men.

    Ask the average Black person and they will tell you they never thought they would see a Black President in their lifetime and they wanted to be part of it.

    It's not that complicated. The majority is prone to think that there hasn't been any bias in its selection election cycle after election cycle of picking someone as the party nominee who looks like the majority. :laugh:

    When you get someone who looks like you time and time again, you tend to lose perspective and sight that there is a degree of bias in for what race candidate people vote.

    Translation is that folks, whether or not the folks on here want to acknowledge it, carry a degree of bias for that which looks like they look.

    That's one of the reasons Sundays are so segregated.



    And here you thought incorrectly because there have been plenty of Black candidates for President.

    But this board needs to stop acting naive. It wasn't too long ago that the majority didn't even want to eat at the same counter as minorities, or even go to the same school.

    So don't act like it's so far fetched that a whole lot of White folks haven't considered a nonwhite candidate for President because of racial prejudice.

    You have been misled by the race pimps. But be sure crabby will be along shortly to side with you. Birds of a feather.

    Again it is clear your default when you have no defense of the truth is to start with your ad nauseum attacks.

    Perhaps you've been misled by your own race pimps.

    Looks like your flock is already here. :laugh:

    Attacks? There have been none. However your have been all over the board. And you have yet to produce any "truth".
