It's one thing to vote for Obama because you think his policies and experiences make him the better candidate for President.
It's another thing to vote for him because he is black.
I haven't heard a single white person say that they voted for McCain because he is white.
I have heard MANY black people say that they voted for Obama because he is black.
How are you looking beyond the color of a person's skin if you voted for him BECAUSE of the color of his skin?
It's interesting that my viewpoint is labeled as a racist one. I advocate choosing a political leader based on knowledge, skill, and experience. I don't care what color they are or what is between their legs. How is this racist?

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have gotten rich off of playing the race card every chance they can.
Seriously, if racism was eliminated tomorrow, what would Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do for a living?
