Of course. Just like there are non-black people who would not vote for him because he is a black man.
Racism is not restricted to a particular ethnicity.

There are plenty of blacks out there who would vote for him just because he's black and the same with gender. People will vote for Hillary just because she's female. I'm black and race or gender doesn't really matter. I've followed the candidates very closely for the past couple of months and I am definitely an Obama supporter. I've experienced people of other races saying that the reason that a black person would vote for Obama is because he's black, and in my case that is very far from the truth. Many black people do go out and make informed decisions on important issues regardless of what another race may think.

I'm sure there are some.
But I'm just as sure that there are some White people who will NOT vote for him because he's a Black man.
Which is worse?

It is a shame that they would do this but some people will not take the time to look at the issues and pick who they think is the best candidate. I think it was John Kerry people said that they would vote for him because he had good hair, and I personally know some people who voted for Bill Clinton because they thought he looked good (WHAT !!@@@!!)

YES!!! Hussein Obama is 50% White and 50% Black, and he claims he is the Black candidate, which is only 50% correct. Most Blacks will vote for their own race if there is a choice of races. This is true with most racial and ethnic groups. If a U.S. citizen,who happens to be Japanese, were running for any office, you can be assured that most Japanese persons eligible to vote, would vote for their own race. This is fact in the real world of reality, just as I would vote for Joe Liberman if he were running because he is very bright and happens to be Jewish.

Yes, but not just black people. There are women who will vote for Hillary because she is a woman. There are Texans who voted for Bush because he was from Texas. There are probably actors who voted for Reagan because he was an actor!
There are people who will vote for someone based on affinity, whether that affinity be related to skin color, Alma Mater, ethnicity, religion or whatever. Common human trait I imagine.

As sure as there are people who would NOT vote for him just because he is black.

Duh....of course there is. Just like there are women who will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. Same with Mormons and Romney.
