I wish more replies could be more like this one.
I don't doubt that racism still exsist. I am sure it is from all directions not just white on black. However it is not at the levels that people say it is.
It is clearly a call out from Obama to BLACK Americans and only black americans in this case. Why is it not ja call out to ALL AMERICANS if it is for all our good?
I don't care who the candidate is, he or she could NEVER say all white Americans need to back me! NEVER!! Make it any other race and it is Okay.
That is the honest truth the way I see it.
By the way I am not a Caucasian, I am a native american Osage although people think I look hispanic, so I have had some racism thrown my way, and I concider myself an AMERICAN!
I say this so people don't think I am a angry white guy sitting in a trailer in the woods waiting for the end of the world!!

I appreciate your comments....
Although I was a Hillary girl...I do know my way around the Obama website.
Here is a link, just as an example, you don't have to use it for the group Women for Obama
Women for Obama — Barack Obama
There are actually 9 groups listed including African American, Gays, Latinos and Young people.
But in this thread only one is being discussed.... someone earlier made a comment that all Catholics voted for Kennedy and I know that wasn't true, just in my family.
The Republican candidates do have groups themselves, MOMs for Mitt for example.
But race is the 3rd rail.....
