<quoted text>I should add that I dated a black woman for several years before her family made things so unbearable for her, we had to end it. Funny, I adored her. She told me she was everything she wanted but the fact that I was white - well, no matter how happy I made her and how good I was to her, was unacceptable to her family. A year or so later, she showed up at my house to hide out for a couple of weeks as it seems the boyfriend her family actually approved of beat her badly and was looking to do worse. There was a physical confrontation in my driveway that ended with a baseball bat to his ribs and a prison sentence for him. Mr. Right was subsequently stabbed to death in a Maryland Pennitentiary. All that said, I still wasn't acceptable to her family.
I learned that hatred and bigotry respect no skin color.

I am sorry that you experienced that type of hatred. I am married to a Puerto Rican woman who is blonde and has very fair skin. Her family is not a problem, but when we went to Florida for our 10th anniversary, I had total strangers who did double takes if we kissed in public. White men and women were visibly angry that we were together. To say that racism is on one side or the other is sipmly a matter of self denial. White people say that since they did not personally have anything to do with the atrocities of the civil rights struggle, African Americans should get over it. African Americans say that if the government can pay the Japanese Americans for putting them in concentration camps, why not pay us for slavery? I don't think that reparations are the way either, but as a member of a group who has seen the effects of bigotry in college campuses in southern Illinois, it is hard to try to communicate with a group of people who think that you are not human simply because you happen to have more melanin in your skin than they do. In my opinion, America has not advanced one iota since the days of Jim Crow, it is just more subtle.

Obambi is a racist, he's supported by black radicals and his wife looks like something you'd see on "Our Gang" from the 1930s.

When 90% of blacks support Obama, then YES, they ARE voting for him BECAUSE he's black. Those numbers defy every rule of probability and statistics.

The way you treated native-americans, african-americans, asian americans, muslim americans. Will you ever learn?...

The people who are voting for Obama don't worry about paying for gas or car insurance. They drive without a license. They don't worry about health care because they have a medical access card. They are expecting Obama to increase cash assistance payments and food stamps!
It is scary to see the people who are comming out of the woodwork to vote this man in!
