Proud democrat but I hate this kinda stuff, when we r so passive that we tolerate intolerance. It should be 99% all around. Yes black people have a better reason to vote for a black president because he was 1st 2 break the glass ceiling. BUT CHOOSING THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD ON RACE IS IGNORANT

Are you voting for him *only* because he's black? I'm not sure about racist, but that's irresponsible voting for the most part. Check out policies and see how they work for you.

You mean like Clinton who used an accounting trick and borrowed against social security to balance the budget with no way to pay it back? Nice try but we see right through it.

That's not racist. That is just like voting for someone because she's a woman or voting for someone because they are catholic. Saying that voting for someone who is black is racist is showing bigotry and disconnection to reality and how it feels to be a minority

It's not racist because white presidents put us in debt.
P.S. I'm white.

There's a difference between voting for someone because you refuse to vote for their opponent due to their race or ethnicity, and voting for someone because you feel you are underrepresented and want to do what you can to even things out.

I'm black...

Yes. And you are wrong.

Meaning that all racism is discrimination. But it is not interchangeable the other way as not all discrimination is racist.

They are interchangeable.

Who's the racist now? Oh look, it's you!

its bias bot raceist

Not all racism has negative effects. All the people who vote for Obama because he's black are racist. That's a fact, not a matter of opinion. Any action, good or bad, that is based solely on color or ethnicity is racist.

It would be sexist to vote for her because she was a woman. You should vote on the candidate you most agree with, regardless of their gender or skin color.

I'm pretty sure that's why he is president

No. Is it sexist to vote for a girl president just because she will be the first?

Is it racist to vote against Romney or Johnson because they're white? (The answer is yes.)

If it's racist to vote for Romney or Johnson because they're white, then it's racist to vote for Obama because he's black.

Lol, "what" a country. Damn big fingers!

How about that? In America, racism got a Black man elected President.

Way a country.

Not funny… sad.

Do you even know what racism actually means?

Vote Jill Stein!

There are no human "races". Any variance is on the phenotype genes and does not denote race.

There is only one human race.

The definite of racist is the belief that there is more than one human race!

I'm hoping that this is just a very unfunny joke...

Stupid questions attract stupid people. These comments...

If the ONLY reason they vote for him is bc he's black then they are not only racist... they are also dead wrong!

NEWSFLASH: Barack Obama is NOT black, he's biracial. We still haven't had a black president... We have a biracial prez who was raised by old white folk. Sorry y'all, black pass=revoked.

Voting for anyone based on the color of their skin and not the content of their character is the height of racism.

And it's patriotic to vote against MrO because of his failed policies.

KaRn8 ... 95% of blacks voted for MrO in 2008. Do you really think they all agree with MrO's policies?

Wow really, you in one comment made the whole of Texas look like idiots..

Karn8 you are the worst kind of person. Not only are you wrong, you refuse to see what is right. You are happy in your ignorance. I hope you don't procreate. People like you are ruining America.

No mention of laws. You are the problem with America.

If you vote for Obama simply because he's black, that means you're not voting for Romney because he's white.

That my friends is racism, how can you see it any other way?

Speak the truth

KaRn, where are you getting your definition of racism? Merriam-Webster Dictionary: 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

...and I say this as an Obama supporter. I think it's good for the country that we've now had a black president. But to vote for OR against someone due to their color is a form of racism.

Being stupid doesn't preclude it from being racist. And who says white people can't be pro-black or anti-white racist?

No. It's racist to vote against him just because he's black. Republiklans.

You can't run a nation on hope, next time try results

That comment was incredibly racist

No those are racist LAWS

That's not equal that favors the minority that's what we call a double standard KaRn

Wow. "Fact"? Yeah right.

And the last time a black made it as far as Barry? Can't think of one, closest was Jesse Jackson back in the day or Rev Sharpton.
