[B]IF SENATOR OBAMA WASN'T BLACK...[/B] | Thread profile

Some legislator said something to the effect that Senator Obama would not be a leading candidate for the Democrat nomination 'if were 'white'. Which means; if Senator Obama wasn't 'black' he wouldn't be where he is. This is much more than just another comment about 'race'. This is acknowledging the fact that Senator Obama has taken away the root-power of the Democrat Party...AND that ...

So, the question really is: If Senator Obama were not a Black man, would he still be receiving the high percentage of the Black vote? Would you still be as excited about him if he were a White man?

Here .. we go .. again, MBM! All that writing was well and good, but none of it even came close to answering my question! Why is that? It's not a hard question. A "yes" or "no" and a couple of explanatory words would have done the trick! But, you went all around the block - and back to times passed ... totally re-worded the thought ... but never actually answered what was asked of you! It'...
