"it's cause he's black." I agree that some African American voters did that but, a lot of white people voted for McCain because he was white

[HennigansStead]

It;s because he's black. Black people whenever you say anything to them they say "oh it's cause I'm black." even if its something like m'am can you please move? Deep down inside she thinks you asked her to move because you want authority over her, because your white. These dumb people are whats wrong with the country today. You take a great president from back in the day, and ask him to help us out. he'd be like "Y'all messed this country up beyond repair. Stupid people, bad parents awful idols.

ok I think I get where your coming from...

With all the government spending in recent years, you feel like Obama, his team and his supporters are leverging your future by borrowing large sums of money. Eventually your generation will have to pay it back and it's not fair since you didn't get a chance to voice your opinion in the matter.

@gundamWWW Dude, I'm upset by the lack of education of some voters. I can't even vote, I'm 14.

@JustA1337Gamer

If you vote for a white guy over a white guy, because of his race, then that's racist.

If you vote for a guy who happens to be white over a guy who happens to be say... black, because you think the former is a better candidate that's not racist.

You probably get the point. Why are you still upset about the Obama victory? It happened. If you hate him soo much, work to make him lose the next election. If he stills wins the election, then that's just the way it works.

[JustA1337Gamer]

@gundamWWW So it wouldn't be racist for me to vote for a white guy over a black guy. I know nothing about either and only that one of them is white.

@JustA1337Gamer

Racism is undue prejudice against a group on the basis of race, and ethnicity.

They may have voted for Obama because he's black that was likely, but I don't think they voted against McCain because he was white...

African Americans voted for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and those guys where white southerners who grew up in segregated parts of the country.

If you don't vote for McCain cause he's White that's racist.

@gundamWWW They're voting for someone because of race. That's racist.
