I understand you shouldnt vote for people based on race but could you please tell me why you are supporting Hillary over Obama. If there are specific issues that are better than Obamas please state what the are.
And dont say shes more experienced b/c Obama has been in politics longer than she has
Lastly dont say he cant win because America hasnt ever elected a woman president either.

I'm not black, but I support Obama over Hillary pretty heavily. On my Democratic Candidates list, my rankings are as follows:
1. Obama
2. Edwards
3. Biden
4. Hillary
---------------the line in which I start strongly disliking--------------
5. Richardson
6. Kucinich
7. Gravel
and I don't even count Dodd because he never says or does anything that makes him noticeable in the least, except for his time in the Peace Corps. ten million years ago.

The Afro-American population in America; has a huge and growing differential political philosophy. Our political opinions are as diverse as our skin complexions. As long as the United States of America is a free country, we all should be able to vocalize our thoughts and vote accordingly to our conscience along. Although I wish more Afro-Americans would support Obama as I; it is still their responsibility to vote and support their own Candide of choice.

first of all....
i support neither....
but let me say...what you said is the equivalent of saying.."gee, i should vote for so and so cuz' well, he's white"...
how offensive is that? or does it only count as racist when it deals with Caucasians? if that is what you believe...well i just can't express how wrong you are....
you support a candidate because they think the way you think...believe the way you believe...they have something that makes sense to you as an individual....
not for the color of their skin, or the sex of the individual...but for the direction you wish the country to go...
by voting based on skin color...you set this country back to times i don't care to relive...
racism from any direction is not acceptable...

I would rather move to a different country than vote for a socialist that will raise my taxes and ruin the healthcare system. I don't like politcians who redistribute wealth and give free handouts in exchange for votes.

Probably just happens to be they're opinion, that more black people like Clinton. I don't know what is surprising about that...I would have guessed to other way around, but it's not a big shock to me.

It's simple, Hillary is married to the first Black President and Hillary talks "Black talk" when speaking to Black Americans. Obama is only half Black.
