Oprah.com Community: BLACK PEOPLE BEING HAPPY BECAUSE "WE" ... | Thread profile

Wow, there's a guy running for President with the same colour of skin !!! That's so great... My view on things: people wanting Obama to win because he is one of 'their own colour' or 'culture' and not because he is the best candidate, are racists. It is pure racial thinking that get people so excited about Obama. And he takes advantage of that; how 'new' is that?...

You don't understand. Only if us white folk do that is it racist-- it is perfectly ok for blacks or other minorities. Whatever.................

I think it's inspirational to have a black man running for office, especially a great orator such as Barrack Obama. However, to vote for him because he is black, or to vote against the other candidates because they are white, is racist. Actually, Obama polls higher than receiving votes, so I think many people say they'd vote for him, but behind the voting curtain do otherwise to avoid the ...

Why alert it? People bring these things up and add to the segregation.. Honestly, he would not be there without a "multi-cultural vote"..

So let me ask you this, and please be honest: If John McCain beats Barack Obama, which he will very possibly do, should white people be glad that they retained the White House instead of turning it over to a Black person? Think about that for a while. Either there's a double-standard, or there's not....

Obama and Hillary are almost like two peas in the pod. Their policies are almost identical...I have been saying this from the get go.....Hillary actually had majority of the black vote in the beginning but then people started not to like how her campaigning started looking dirty and Bill started saying things that made some blacks upset and then the votes started going towards Obama. Its...

Every American should be happy that Obama is the presidential nominee because this is a milestone in American history. Whites should be happy just because people around the world and other Americans are seeing that America is turning a new leaf by having the first black man as a presidential nominee. Blacks are happy to see this, just 45 years ago we could only use bathrooms that had ...
