Does this include voting for white Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. or simply if they are another color?
Of course it does. It includes breaking any barrier we haven't yet broken. 3 years ago people were asking if America were ready for a black president or a female one. And they meant it. And they were right to mean it. In over 200 years, not only have we not (until Obama) had a non-white/male/Christian president; we haven't even had a very serious non-white/male/Christian candidate. The only ones I can think of were Liddy Dole, Doug Wilder and Joe Lieberman and none of them even made it past one or two primaries before dropping out. It's time. And yes, I would be more excited, assuming the candidate shared my beliefs and values, to pull the lever for a barrier-breaking candidate. I most hope our next president is a woman. Right now I would hope she would either be Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren, because it is far past time for a woman president and I could support either of them enthusiastically on the issues.

I appreciate your response and hope you are right. I appreciate personal accountability and other issues held sacred by many republicans ... But the element of race, gender, sexuality and class seems to rear it's head way too often within the Republican party, especially over the last 10 years.
If Obama loses this election, the media will spin it towards his race and the "racist" Republicans causing him to lose. They already spin it this way when people disagree with him. Liberals are like broken records. It is really kind of sad.

The only racists here are those who judge based on the color of a man's skin. I would never vote based on skin color. Foolish to do so.
Religion plus Rockets plus Nilsson = Jesus Christ, You're Tall Jesus I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall I bet nobody I bet nobody I bet nobody wanted to dance with you at allI said Jesus, I said Jesus there hardly ain't no room here for you at all I said Jesus. I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall Well we could dribble our way down a courtship Get married for a little while I would shoot a little love inside your basket mama and in a little while we'd have a child He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy But he'll get taller as the time goes by He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy But pretty soon he'll hear the other boys cry Because they're saying to him Jesus they'd say Jesus they'd say Jesus Christ you're tall I bet some day at least some day I hope he finds a basketball So maybe a big scout from a big town team will come and sign him to the meadow larks And then someday. Someday he'll play as good as van dyke parks He'll be famous he'll get married, he'll be happy, He'll be happy with the girl next door They'll have a little boy, they'll have a little boy but at birth he'll measure six foot four Each generation as the time goes by Will grow and grow until they reach the sky And finally someday I said someday they'll bump into God And he'll say "hi" And then he'll say Jesus, Jesus look at 'em, Jesus Christ they're tall Jesus. Just look at 'em. Jesus Hey' you guys want to play a little basketball There will be a big court up in heaven Softer than the softest cloud They can play all day, they can play all night they can play as long as they can play It'll be a half court game until the other boys show It'll be a full court game and then, when it's over we'll hear a high score. It'll be over, then the end amen hey' Jesus, oh Jesus. Sweet Jesus Christ you're tall no nobody. No no nobody You guys wanna play a little basketball C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Jesus C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Lord C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon do a hook shot baby C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon shoot that ball C'mon Jesus let's get together I loved you a long time ago Way up in heaven, up in heaven, that's the hell of it baby all night long
Call me racist for 1 maybe 2 presidential terms.... Most people are racist all their lives.. I just want to be racist another 4 years...Too much to ask?? Texx, you about as racist as NYC airport security when a bearded dark-skinned man comes thru..
In the not too distant past that actually meant something. Now, meh. Doesn't even insult anybody. It is just a word that people use to flex culture muscle.
No, the racists are the ones that consistently start threads targeting African Americans. Regardless, African Americans have a merited excuse for racism. Should white people be surprised after hundreds of years of slavery? Education in black communities is still severely lacking. So an intellect needs to observe black racism with a certain finesse, a certain understanding. Most are generations behind, and it is damn near impossible to get quality teachers in urban areas. Basically, it's great to be white, a generalization obviously. Also, voting for Obama for the color of his skin is not obtuse If you take off the white lenses and understand where these people are coming from. No matter the effectiveness of Obama's current presidency, he has changed African American lives JUST by being elected. His election was an incredibly positive step towards equality for young African American children, who can now see a black president in their history books. That can not be overstated. Why would an African American mother vote differently when the alternative includes Sarah Palin? If I was a black father that had seen the worst of times and a black man ran for president, you can bet your ass I would get out there and vote for him. Wouldn't it be great to say to your son "See son, you CAN do anything"
If you can admit that you wouldn't say any of the crap you've been posting, in any urban neighborhood...Then I'll admit it:grin:
Knote , I just find it funny when people say "black people " are the racist ones....It makes me laugh and proud at the same time.. I'm not even speaking of the history of racism in America either.. Just the perception that "we are the problem" is hilarious to me....
