We'll do whatever the hell we want to do. And that's all you need to know.

Don't worry about who we vote for. Worry about your vote.

Whatever their first name is, ask your friends if the good or bad deeds of everyone with that same first name reflects on them in any way. Then ask them if they are embarrassed to admit to the neighborhood the live in, because one of their neighbors, beats his wife, their yard looks a mess, or the car they drive is never washed.

Have you ever met a person and had conversations or relationships with them, and then found out they were an idiot or a bigot, or more likely, both of these things? Don't you wish you had a sign over your head that said "If you are a bigot, none-to-bright, moronic, shallow-minded fool, please don't bother interacting with me"?? Maybe that is the gift of being an easily identifiable minority, you have a built in gift, to filter out the above, so they don't waste your time.

The people who judge other people by common stereotypes are non to bright anyway, and it probably best to ignore them, and god's sake, don't let them affect the way you live your life.
First let me say these are very good people, good men, that do help others, i cannot help how they feel.

I am not trying to get sympathy, playing a game, you guys know me to well, speak from experiences.

I never want to get into with them, why they feel this way, maybe like opening up a can of worms or something. The one sounds as if he has experienced something, but i am just too shy to ask him what has happened. It clearly sounds to me, as if something has happened, what i honestly do not know.

Any race can be ashamed of who they are, but the way i feel truly, shame on you. Embrace who you are and your cutlure. I have many frineds because of business, and personal, and cannot help the way they feel, but they are still good people.

As far as sterotyping again, about blacks holding Obama accountable, here we go again. Why bring race into this. Why can't one say, when will Americans hold Obama accountable.

Because he wholes a 95 plus percentage voting block with black people!! That's why.

No other group has this kind of laser focus on one candidate.

It's time to notice the elephant in the room.

You are the poorest example of an American. You would vote for the leader of our country based solely on COLOR? It is people like you that egg on the whole "race card". You don't care about our country, you are more concerned with blacks being on top. YOU are racist. My entire life I have been raised and told EVERYONE IS EQUAL, which is why I don't have a problem telling you that no matter what color you are, you will never be on top as you are nothing more than an arrogant, racist fool.

Nothing Barry can do will ever cause you to hold him accountable. Sad.

Who would you lefties like to see running against Obama? You all want to go along with the establishment of both parties and get Obama back but why is that? I still think that race is involved.

I'm still undecided across the board-I'm not saying I would never vote for a black president, just not him.

When will the sour grape eaters hold oil speculators responsible for gas prices?
