McCain likes Black People. Kanye West can't deny it.

God help this country if this man actually gets elected. First he is not ready to handle this job and secondly I do not trust him. We do not know enough about this guy to trust him with the responsibility of running this country. Times are tough enough right now, we need someone tougher. He suddenly quits his church because of the racial remarks etc. So there was never any racism at this church before this? Suddenly his church just changes? I don't think so.....I'm sure he was there not too long ago cheering against the "white" man. Racism tension are high enough in this country, we don't need someone to feed the fire. Lord knows if a white man was running and they showed video from a pastor at his church making fun of a black man....there would be outrage and protests all over the place with Al Sharpton leading the pack.
Racism is wrong in either direction and any black person that wants a black president just to be on top of everyone else is no better than a person who owned a slave a very long time ago. I am wondering how many people will vote for Obama just because he is black.....that is scary, the man is not ready to run this country.

<quoted text>Why would anyone bother then? I was young and dumb like you once too, that would be when I voted for Mondale and Ferraro, thank God others had the sense to understand the candidates completely in order to make a better choice than I did. I voted strictly on the fact that Ferraro was a woman. and she was going to save abortion from being abolished, well that was dumb, I am a woman, she's a woman, so I voted for that, I learned my lesson and have always gotten all the information from then on.

Hey, here's a proud Obama supporter from KY! 33% of the people in this state will vote for Obama, and the rest might come around. You won't see a lot of public support though. I'm afraid to put out a yard sign because the Klan is active in my part of the state.
But there's hope:
Obama To Head To Appalachia In First Week As Presumptive Nominee
...Obama will head to Virginia on Thursday -- right smack in the heart of Appalachia, where he is often thought to be toast because of his outsized losses to Senator Clinton in some of the region's primaries.
While not all of Virginia is properly inside Appalachia, the cities Obama will visit -- including Bristol, Abingdon and Castlewood -- are all nestled within western Virginia, close to the Tennessee border....
The Pollster.com best-fit line of polls over time has shown Obama steadily closing on Sen. John McCain in the state....
And the latest SurveyUSA poll, taken between May 16-18, shows Obama with a 49-42 lead over John McCain -- nearly outside the poll's +/- 4.1 percent margin of error.

The more people see of Obama, the more they like his policies and the more they trust him to carry them out.

Well... a small sample:
The idea of a blood bank was pioneered by Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950).
George Washington Carver (1865?-1943) was an American scientist, educator, humanitarian, and former slave. Guy knew his way around a peanut.
The potato chip was invented in 1853 by George Crum.
Clatonia Joaquin Dorticus was an African-American inventor who received many patents.
The street letter drop mailbox with a hinged door that closed to protect the mail was invented by Philip B. Downing.
The gas mask was invented by Garrett Morgan (who invented the traffic signal, as well).
Lewis Howard Latimer (1848-1928) was an African-American inventor who was a member of Edison's research team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers."
Elijah McCoy (1843 or 1844-1929) was a mechanical engineer and inventor.
Jan Ernst Matzeliger (1852–1889) invented a shoemaking machine that increased shoemaking speed by 900%!
Granville T. Woods (1856–1910) invented a train-to-station communication system.
Madam C. J. Walker (1867–1919) invented a hair-growing lotion. Walker grew up poor. But she became the first female African- American millionaire.
Otis Boykin (1920–1982) invented the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker.
Dr. Patricia. E. Bath (1949–) invented a method of eye surgery that has helped many blind people to see.
Lonnie G. Johnson (1949–) invented the world-famous watergun, the Supersoaker.
Thanks, Star Shine, for motivating me to do a small amount of research, which allowed me to appreciate the contributions of black-AMERICANS.

If he selects Clinton as his running mate he really must have a death wish.

Obama's religion, black liberation theology:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

All wonderful people in history, but why do we have to seperate them at black americans? Which is why I never understood Black History month.....how can black people say this country is racist, when they get a whole month dedicated to them......when is white history month??
Let's stop trying to over compensate for things that happened in the past and move on......stop referring to people as black, white, hispanic and start saying American citizen.
