General Discussion

I say what many refuse or don't want to say.Obama will lose because for a majority of people he is "off color".

As someone married to a half white/half black girl i see it everyday.She is called by ALL but her family black.

And notice how everyone refers to obama as the "black candidate".

Now explain to me how can someone be 50% black and 50% white yet always referred to as black.

It shows how most people wish to ignore his roots and fear to point to anything in a colored man as white despite he is as much black as he is white.

On that day everyone will enter their little private box and convince themselves that McCain is a better choice but silently hit the white button.

OH FOR FUCK SAKE

From the stupid STOLEN shit to now an asinine RACISM routine.

When Obama loses he will lose because his policies suck, his life background sucks, and because he's an egotistical asshole.

the man looks black is why he is referred to as black. and i would not cross the street due to fear, as obama suggested most white people will do, such as his grandma.

on those forms i fill out from time to time it asks me to check a race. i never see the option mixed. its always black or white.

i do not want barrack hussein obama elected president. sketchy past, eery liberal.

He never said you would. He was talking about the general stereotypes of his grandmother's generation. He never said anything about 'most white people', even though you'd eat it up if he did.

They don't list Jamaican/Japanese either, but they exist. These are both covered under the 'other' box.

I agree with you that the candidate's choice for VP will make a big impact on this year's election.   I think it is likely that Obama will choose John Edwards.

I'd be very happy with that. I think Obama really admires the work that Edwards has been doing since his VP run, and I'd much rather see Obama choose a candidate that he thinks he can get a lot accomplished with rather than just naming someone for polictical gain in a particular swing state. Of course, it's all for nothing if the democrats don't take back control of this country. It'd take more than one swing state for McCain to win though.

Those forms you are talking about are called equal opportunity forms and there is always an option for white/african,asian etc and at end of it given a open option as others.

It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.
