If you're still undecided

[Sinfix_15]

I completely agree with you that some people voted for him only because of his race. This is fact because some have said as much. What made your previous statement racist is that you then tried to apply it to an entire race. To put it simply:

1. Some blacks voted for Obama because of his race [NOT RACIST, factual statement]

2. Blacks only voted for Obama because of his race [RACIST, generalizing an entire race]

Statement 2 would actually not be racist if every single black voter voted for Obama (which did not happen) and every single black voter stated they only voted for him based on his race (also did not happen).

i feel what youre saying, i just dont feel the need to "pull punches" when making comments about race. I feel like black people need to be told the cold hard truth and we need to stop having to walk on egg shells around them. A lot of black leaders have made very bold statements to the black community. The basic idea that they need to "shape up" is pretty common, people are just delicate about the way they project that idea to the public.

Rather than the X% of people who feel stereotyped saying "hey quit stereotyping me", they need to turn to the other X% and say "hey, youre making us all look bad, shape up"
