They acknowledge that they are voting for Obama, but they also have said several times: No matter who you support, get out and vote----exercise your right to vote for a candidate----learn what each stand for, etc.
The reference that Atlanta is the new "black" Hollywood is in response to Tyler Perry's recent milestone. He purchased a large piece of condemed land, tore it down, and rebuilt a movie lot. A black man that came from nothing, and made several stage plays and movies, is giving better opportunites to the African American community who strive to be in theatre. Several black actors are excited about it because they know how hard it was to get into a movie because of color. Now, young people can get a better opportunity to follow their dreams. How do you get racist from that? Oh, let me guess, you didn't know that huh? You fail to understand that we are STILL the minority. We are still playing catch-up from the past sir. We are taking steps to better US, yes I said it. You may ask why! The answer is simple: We realize that we have a long way to go, and based on the past, we can't rely on others to help US. To add to that: EVERYTHING that black people have created is open to anyone. With the exception to a few scholarships, any race can use our products, tools, and facilities. We don't discriminate at all. You assume so because of the way we term it. It is REALLY not that hard to comprehend if you are open-minded.
To your last statement: Why do you assume that african americans are easily influenced by Obama's color, not his history and what he stands for? Obviously you are not outraged at whites, asains, hispanic, etc voters are you? See this is where I get the notion that SEVERAL people on IA are closing into the racist parameters. You are only critizing the black voters for voting for Obama. Black people make a move, and its wrong! If Obama was not qualified, we would NOT support him as much. Tell me sir, what is going through the mind of white Obama supporter?
Its funny how many whites ATTEMPT to criticize blacks for the disrespectful and evil things they did in the past. Stop trying to pass the blame, we are an a movement to do better.
