BUT, no one knows what obama stands for, not even himself. He has changed his mind countless times on almost every issue brought to the table. Getting out there and voting has always been pushed, why does it have to take a black man to get black people to get out and vote? That's ****ing stupid. Never once did i say that no black person knows what obama stands for, i said the majority are just going out to vote because he's black, and don't know either candidates stance. IM closed minded? LOL. Hardly. I'm being real, i'm acknowledging the fact that race is a massive issue in this election, and so many people want to rule it out. Get real, stop being so naive. I know there are blacks not voting for obama, and you know why? Because they actually took the time to see candidates stance on issues and made a rational decision. I've also said that there are white people not voting for mccain, don't put words into my mouth.



    Again, i dont know why you've classified me as stereotyping. I did not say 100% of black and white people are voting this certain way because of the race issue. I have pointed out numerous times that there are a vast majority of people voting one way or another based on race. If you took the time to read any of my posts about this election then you would have realized that. Instead you're making brash assumptions based on the fact that you probably think i'm racist. Now, remove head from sphincter, and actually read what i typed this time, and respond with something that makes sense. All you did just now was point out that i was a stereotypical racist, when i never said half the things you've accused me of. Thanks.
    Ok you are right and I am wrong. 90% of black people, including the celebrities are voting for Obama. It took a black man to get people to vote. Yep all the young white kids with an open mind, along with countless other races, to finally get excited about voting to go and do it.

    My personal feelings about why many people did not vote prior to now, esp blacks, is beacuse no candidate stood for anything worth voting for. It makes you feel like no one cares. Suppression, yes it was years ago, still lingers in some peoples menality. Yes, it took rappers, entertainers, and celebs to hit there target demographics to spark the interest. Are you familiar with the Hip Hop summit? It was getting minorites interested in politics long before diddy. It was targeted and it worked. Be excited Obama gives hope to more people that many others didn't, the colored JFK if you will, lol.

    You are right, your crystal ball is godly. Its tells you percentages of the reason people are voting.

    Hell, I feel that there are plenty blacks/whites putting on fronts for their friends and coworkers. When they go to cast their ballot many will surely pick the opposite of who they have been "supporting" in public.

    You are right again, he changed his mind because he is stupid, not because he further opened his mind and looked at things a different way; admitting he was wrong and is human.

    If someone would have listened and thought through situations more, we wouldn't be where we are today. Listening skills are taught at a young age, your inlelct and ability to decipher things are honed skills.

    I am glad that you acknowledged and clarifyed that there black people voting for the right reasons. Thank you sir! Although many of your previous post on this board led me to believe otherwise, but thank you for fixing that.

    I jumped the gun, so many true race haters are on this board, my apologies

    Also, I never put words in your mouth. I stated a fact, just making sure that you knew there are shady tard-faced McCain voters.

    I classified you as steretyping due to the nature and order of your words. I felt you did not put the poll question about "blacks voting for Obama/McCain b/c they understand thier policies" b/c you didn't think they knew. You corrected that notion for me, thanks again!

    repped......

    love how, even if i bring up race, obama is apparently bringing something to the forefront that is going to make the african american community proud, and more recognized. This is just getting ridiculous, and you are further proving my point. Repped as well.

    Dude, its more to me than the presidental race. Alot of black youth need to see this for inspiration. Thats what I meant by that. 20 years ago, surely even further back, having anything CLOSE to Obama was stupid to everyone.

    I like what lots of rappers are doing for the black communuity, but I personally look at other influential blacks. Obama is getting press, kids are excited to watch and learn. I know a better day is coming for this country. Like i said, whether he wins the election or not, he changed a lot of people for the better.

    I am speaking from a person who sees the youth (pick a race) who think they have no hope, some with good/bad/no parenting.

    It has nothing to do with recognition, trust me in this world no one owes you ****.
