Answered It doesn't matter if your black or white

What the hell is wrong with people....

This is another non issue that bogs down the real politics, if is he black enough is a determination of whether or not he should be our president then democracy is in real trouble.

Not like this will happen

    It does not matter to be if he is black or not or black enough or not. We dont need to choose a president based on color of skin. All I can say very confidently is that he is not right for becoming a good President. He lacks on all the important criteria to become a good president. Lack of experience, In depth knowledge on many of the issues, credibility & maturity. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate with all the qualifications & to do the job the best. Please guys come out from the dream and vote with your mind...its good for us and our country.

    I don't believe it matters wether he is black or white. Lets stick to the issues. What are Obama's Issues again? Oh yea, he states he is going to win, and everyone should join him in that!

    Are they meaning black as in skin color, or black as in culture? I think he is a great representation of both, and should be applauded as such.

    he may not be for Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson but he might be man enough for people that do not care about race.

    Answered Black enough for what?

    What Kind of question is that? Black enough for what? To make decisions? To be a human? You would never dream of asking if someone was "white" enough! If his skin was purple would you be asking if he was purple enough? If this is what we base our decisions for presidental elections on then there is something obviously wrong with our country.

    I am white because thats what GOD had planned for me. WHY is it always about color??? I feel very sorry for those of you out there who have to define a race, we are all brothers and sisters read the Bible?
    Or maybe you just don't want to hear the truth? Gods Greatest Commandment is to love one another. I don't see color I see a human being. God bless I try to remember to pray for everyone who does not get it. Real Americans should always support real Americans Period, Hey thats my opinion. So OBAMA if you read this my name is Scheryl I live in Nashville, Tn if you need any support you have mine and I would be Honored to work @ anything that has to do with your potential new job. My name is spelled Different and is pronounced (Sherrel) look me up and may God bless you and yours Obama.
  • raves     [-] standstill replied to Cagirl1958
    cagirl, just like Obama you are naive about this race thing. You should listen to Oprah's speech the first time she endorses Obama, you should listen to other black supporters, farakhans speech in endorsing obama and you will ask, " i am black so i should vote Black Obama". we know that obama is fine man but not as a president, not now. If you are voting for Obama just to prove that this is not about color, then you are going astray.
  • raves     [-] Cagirl1958 replied to standstill
    I am white, and I am not voting for Obama because he's half and half.

    I am voting for him because this Country needs him, I wouldn't say he's
    Naive in the least, nor am I. If you believe that he's a fine man then why such a problem with him becoming our next President? Hummmmmmmmmm
    maybe you have a problem with Color. Sad!

    He is too black for any Caucasion who may happen to be a racist; and not black enough for Blacks, who feel he doesn't relate to them! I personally feel he is inexperienced and "wishy washy", regardless of what color he is!

    I am soooooooo tired of the word slave being used. At one time we all were ( slaves. You can be a good human being and quit looking at the skin color. I love my black friends and am honored that they love me as well. Color doesn't come into play at all with us.

    Barack is a very intelligent man, seems to be a caring person but I question his ability to grasp the full meaning of the problems America is facing. He is a relatively inexperienced politician who has a lot to learn. Charisma can only take you so far when dealing with China, Russia and the Middle East.

    Is Hillary "woman" enough?
    Is Edwards "man" enough?
    Is Kucinich "socialist enough?
  • raves +1   [-] Fef replied to Diana
    Funny that you say "Is Hillary "Women" enough" since most critics want her to cover her cleavage and question her strength instead of her femininity. I guess you can never win with critics. And I wouldn't try to satisfy them all either.

    That's like asking if Bush is dumb enough. It just really doesn't matter does it?
  • raves     [-] luvcoulter replied to ThatGirl
    Anyone who honestly believes that anyone gets to the White House being dumb is hey a true mental retard. lol
  • raves     [-] ThatGirl replied to luvcoulter
    It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's how much money you have for campaining, and how many people vote for you. There is no aptitude test to become president. George W. Bush is not the brightest crayon in the box. If it weren't for his advisors, he would have fallen flat on his face years ago.

    I believe the white prejudice people and jealous ignorant blacks are the ones who are speaking against Barrack saying he is'nt black enough which is an ignorant and stupid tactic to down play him for President. I respect him for running for office it takes a lot courage and faith to run for president and bieng black in a world such as this one. I know I will because I desire a black man rule a nation. I pray he will rule in wisdom and according to God's word. Oh and another thing I'm tired of people catergorizing us with the Hip Hop culture,I would rather be catergorized with the christian group because all of us dont like 50 cents who is disrepectful and misrepresents the black race.
