Yes, racism is alive and well in America, not well but alive. They are working on hate against him, they accuse him of being a muslim and he is a member of the First Weslin Church in Chicago, anything that they can say without calling him the N word out loud in public they will say but most of the hate for him is raced based.

Even though personally I would vote for Obama, I think his race will hurt him. Not because being black is bad, but because this country has not and will never progress past the racial attitudes of the 50's. Especially in the south which will always be stuck 50 years in the past. This country is far too ignorant and racist to ever elect a female or minority.

Help.
I look at him as Barack Obama and I am learning every day about him. He is a very good candidate so far in my camp. I actually believe the American people in the far majority are seeing and appreciating people for who they are and what the stand for.

No. Race will not help or hurt Senator Obama. His record or lack thereof and his position on the issues will do both.

It will likely be both a hindrance as well as a help. For without it, Obama would be just an other obscure Senator.

Race will not hurt Osama Obama. I think America is ready for black and women presidents. Religion on the other hand will hurt Obama. America is not ready for a president that is not Christian.

I think it will hurt him.It definitly wont help him.I dont think america is yet ready for a black President.Especially one that goes around making sure everyone knows he thinks he will be the first "BLACK" man as President.He is all about show and publicity.So I think that race and the fact that he is promoting the whole balck thing will definitly hurt him big time!

His race won't affect his chances either way. The ethnic name could hurt his chances a little, unfortunately.

I'm discovering that it is African-Americans who don't like him or don't trust in him. So I'd say if he's not gonna win, say thank you to the brothers.

if he tries to use the race card, he will be slaughtered.
