Sure anyone, anywhere should be able to vote as they please, for whom they please...but...If their vote is biased by race or color, then that is wrong in todays world in my opinion. If that is the case in some pockets of society, then those people have failed to evolve with the majority of the population. Racism is so wrong...for one person to think of themself superior based on their color, is to show how inferior they are in todays world.

If that is the case, then how about the large majority (I believe that the number is approx 85%) of black voters that support BH OBama because he is black. Are they racist? Are they inferior in today's world?

I would take it, from the posts, that the black and white voters that support OBama because of racial identity and politics would be considered progressive and politically correct but the white voters that vote against OBama according to race and/or politics are considered politically deviant and not socially progressive enough. An interesting yet nasty elitist argument.

Interesting logic.

Icono....Did you see me differentiate between black and white in my post? I treat racism without viewing it as a black..white..brown issue. I don't care what color you are... if you judge a person by their color you are wrong. There is a bit of racism or sexism hidden in most us. Some suppress it... some question their own values... some use it in a destructive method. Each of us must chose which path to follow.
