I'm am going to say some things in my post today that are hard. Hard to say and hard to hear, but need to be said. Despite how far society has come since the days of segregation this election has been made into a racial issue. Those making it a racial issue are not the angry white voters who are members of fringe organizations, in fact I have not seen one news article or video from hate groups protesting a black man in the running for presidency. It has been made a racial issue by blacks, even prominent members of black society.
Let’s say Barack Obama wins, and 30 years down the line, you’re a black
Republican or black conservative, and your grandkid comes to you and
says, “Did you vote for Obama?” It’s going to be hard to argue why you
didn’t.
-- George Mason University Professor Michael Fauntroy, author of Republicans and the Black Vote
I cannot put it any more plainly then as follows and I know it will make some people angry. If you are only voting for Obama because of his skin color then you are just as guilty of racism as those radicals that bombed churches and killed innocents in the dark days of our countries battle with racism.
