That isn't the same thing as the color of one's skin. It's more like someone saying they voted for Obama because he was the "most Democrat".

There are some who will vote for the candidate with whom they are most comfortable....be it race, religion, age....
But what was more ignorant in timalkin's observation about Black voters for Obama was to characterize it as "racist" suggesting no understanding of the term.

When will racism ever stop if we continue to make decisions based on race? Racism will never cease if we keep encouraging it. But then again, many people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have a lot to lose if racism really disappears.

The same lack of understanding of the term "racism" expressed above.
