Now, black people sufferd a lot of racism, and isn't it racism to vote for somebody based on their skin? Eh, just my thoughts.



P.S; Yeah, I know I spelled his name wrong.
Idiot, it's been proven more of the Black American voters are voting for clinton rather than Barack. Btw he is half black.

It's not about race, it's what he stands for. Not just black americans but other minorities too such as Latino and South Asian etc. His votes are mostly from white americans btw. Do some thinking before you post something like this, it might help you.

Well according to your screwed up logic all women will vote for Clinton because shes a women...

Stupid, Although color is a factor to the politically unintelligent to the smart people its all about the stance on issues and this is what decides presidencies.

The media is over publicizing his skin color rather than paying attention to what got him this far in the first place, his hard work and stance on issues.

Mr Noodles, I coined Balakman Obama.

Anyways this reminds me of the time when I ran for president. You see last semester I was taking Civics and Economics and we had a quarter project where the class was split into parties (Democrat and Republican) by the choice of the teacher and each party would nominate a presidential candidate and run a sufficient campaign showing it to the US History class which was next year and they would elect the president. Well I was in the Republican party and I won the nomination. The Democrat Party had a white girl (no offense) win the nomination and of course typical jokes emerged. "It's Barak vs Hillary 08".. Because I am a Black Male. Well anyways I won the election by one vote and the US History Teacher said that her class (which was about 60% black was voting for the wrong reasons). She was referring to the fact that I was black... Yeah... Race influences everything.

The Moral of the story: Black people are more comfortable with black people as white people with white. It's just a fact of life. Those will who chose to let that fact effect their choice in the 2008 elections, well there's nothing you can do about it.

Oops my bad lol, for some reason I thought it was NH. But now I remember NH was the second primary right?

The population of women to men is about half in USA so if it was half, wouldn't it be easy for Hillary to win? There may be a small correlation to African Americans voting for Barack but there is still places that Barack may win despite the state being predominately white.

In NH, Balackman won the majority of the women's vote so no. The men's vote may be split between another candidate but your forgetting that Balakman has Oprah on his side. I'd say a good 40% of women of voting age watch Oprah. So yeah, the women's vote is also split, but Balakman has a split of two votes making him a majority on both ends. It looks to be a very sucessful strategy.

I refuse to vote this year. Both republicans/democrats are whack. Both pander, both lie, both deceive, both care only about their own agenda. Why can't this world be more simple?

I take it you won't be voting ever. That's what elections are all about.

Lol dude, I myself was wondering where I got Balakman obama. I thought it was from AOL since I'm always checking out their news.


Now that you mentioned that story. Mass Effect deals with that kind of conflict also. The Thurians are all like. "You only saved that colony because it was filled with humans," then Commander Shepard *me* was like. " I did it because they were in danger".
