"If Obama was a white man...."

[osprey4]

"...he would not be in this position." So says former VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro.

One might well ask, If Hillary wasn't a former first lady, what position would she be in?

Pretty F'ed up. Black people aren't only voting for him, people from all walks of life are doing it. That's wasn't a racist comment? I think that it was, but I could be wrong...or maybe it's borderline. She's another idiot that needs to keep her mouth shut.

Black people vote for blacks - it's as simple as that. I guess it's because a black mayor or governor or president is going to "take care of his brothers". Same thing with Hillary and women. Instead of making life better for themselves, they vote a candidate in to legislate a better life for themselves. It's a shame.

a same? yes.
human nature? sure as shit.

So what you're saying is since I'm white I should vote for Mccain? Give me a break. I know black people that are voting for McCain, and Clinton...so there goes your theory.

That's not my theory. It's a minority thing - they vote for their kind because they think they'll be taken care of...it's an "us against them" mentality.

Take Philadelphia for instance: the last mayor was black, and he ran against a white guy. The new mayor is black, and he ran against a white guy. So long as there's a black man running in Philadelphia - with the demographics like they are - there will always be a black mayor. The last mayor was atrocious, but they reelected him; this new guy seems better...we'll just have to wait and see.

And I'm sure you do know black people voting for McCain or Clinton...so what? You don't know every black person, do you?

[outlaw2001it]

Do you know every black person??? How do you know white people didn't vote for the Mayor??? You don't know what the heck you're talking about!!!
If your trying to get a racial thing going...wrong forum/website!!!

outlaw... take a friggin chill pill.relax.
All he is saying is people DO sometimes base RACE above even the ability to do the job properly, especially when they vote.

[outlaw2001it]

That is not always the case. Ya know what is making this a racial thing...the f***ing media. Bill Cosby was on Larry King, and he even said the same thing. He blasted Larry King, and the networks for all of this racial/sexist "BS" going on with this election. Race has nothing to do with it, and either does sexism, Who the f*** cares if he's black, and she's a woman??? The main thing is our country needs a f***ing change, and that's how people are voting.
Thank you for caring, but I am chilled.

If that was what he said, I would be agreeing. But he didn't say that.

I've scolded Bingo enough lately, so (as difficult as this is) will leave it at that.
