You are allowed to discriminate when voting. thats kind of the whole point. After all, didnt the majority of americans vote for a moron. Does that make they were disriminating against sanity...? Certainly it implies that over 50% of the american public are morons.
It depends upon if they voted for him to keep a woman out, and then they turn to vote for McCain to keep an African-American out.
It's the other side of the coin. Polls show that 20% of whites still have racist beliefs.
Voted : It isn't reverse discrimination because...
Those voters had the right to levy as they saw fit. Let's not dream up troubles, jake. There are enough real ones in the world.
They probably think Obama is the better candidate...
Voted : It is reverse discrimination.

"Those voters had the right to levy as they saw fit. Let's not dream up troubles, jake. There are enough real ones in the world" Let me put it this way. If white voters truly believed Hillary was the better candidate and therefore Obama got 3% of the white vote in Pennsylvania, would you consider that racism?

Hahahahaa...Jake, Jake my friend, where do you get these ballot ideas? First, didn't Hillary win Pennslyvania? Duh... I think when a group of people voted in the past (since this contienent was stolen from the Natives) People of color had no other choice but to vote for a White male...So, give it a rest why don't you... Also, just like YOU, others have the RIGHT to vote for whomever they please, you see how that works Jake? More Whites voted for Hillary than Obama, so what does say regarding the issue of discrimination? Race baiting is not the way to go Jake, keep your day job...Ciao.

Maybe they voted for him because they identify with him more. I've got a very good black friend who's been known to throw some killer parties. I've even helped her plan some. But I don't go to them because I just don't identify with most there (not to mention that I can't stand the rap music that is played). That doesn't mean I'm racist though. Hillary did win Pennsylvania. But that doesn't mean that 97% of the blacks didn't vote for Obama.
"More Whites voted for Hillary than Obama, so what does say regarding the issue of discrimination?" If 97% of whites voted for hillary over obama would you consider that racism then? "Also, just like YOU, others have the RIGHT to vote for whomever they please, you see how that works Jake?" I do see it, but I find that a majority of that magnitude is driven by a racial bias. 97%.
It's blatant voting for your own racial kind, solely because they're the same race. It is a type of racism. Not very commendable, as the qualities and qualifications of others are never considered. Race is not dead.

So let me get this straight Jake and Electonic... It's ok for Whites to vote for White Candidates, as it is their right to do so, however, when Blacks (Who are American citizens) exercise their right to vote for whomever they deem, its considered in your estimation that it is reverse discrimination... That is not only illogical thinking, also, it is supporting the idea that Blacks should continue to vote for White candidates because if they dare vote for someone who look like themselves it is considered by people like yourselves to be suspect... Who are you two to dictate and criticize others who would dare exercise their constitutional rights? You two and others who look like yourselves have enjoyed Presidents (who look like yourselves) since George Washington occupy the Oval Office and when it appears that there will be a Black President for the first time in this nation's history, the racial infantile comments rears its ugly head... Personally, I can't wait when there comes a day when those who are presently in power will no longer look like you two, because then and only then, you get to experience what others have being a member of the minority and that day is rapidly coming...And many of those who look and think like you two will do what they normally do when they believe that they have been wronged, they take out their entire families and do society a BIG favor and take out themselves, so, I'll sit back and watch this great entertainment unfold...
"It's ok for Whites to vote for White Candidates, as it is their right to do so, however, when Blacks (Who are American citizens) exercise their right to vote for whomever they deem, its considered in your estimation that it is reverse discrimination..." What sign could be more obvious than 97% of a racial population voting for a candidate of it's own race? I'm interpreting your words as "if 97% of the white vote voted for a white candidate, then that would be racism. But if 97% of a black population votes for a black candidate, then that's perfectly normal". I think you need to reevaluate your way of thinking, because it's racially biased. "Personally, I can't wait when there comes a day when those who are presently in power will no longer look like you two" ^ proof of your bias. By the way, you are a white man, so you can include yourself in that sentence.
^ I don't have an issue with those who are presently in charge who look like you will someday no longer call the shots (I believe it is going to be quite entertaining to watch individuals like yourself lose their minds when they are no longer in charge), I am a white male who believe in equality for ALL people and don't make a petty issue out of race like you and your "kind" do... I have two biracial sons whom I am very proud of and I continue to hope that America continues to become more ethnic by the day... You see, your "kind" has been in charge long enough and where has it gotten this country? Just because I am a white male does not mean I have to go along with the your racist views and silly race baiting ballots... You appear to be under the impression that "kind" should stick to "kind," when one of my so call "kind" is in the wrong, I will not stick with them and their racist views...I deem them to be failures of the worse kind in soceity and they have decided to blame others for their failures...(afterall, when this country was stolen out under the feet of the natives, the new system that was put into place was set up for White males to succeed...So when some of those White males failed, they go into attack mode against others who the system worked against from day one). As for your ballot goes, White people have been voting overwhelming for white candidates since (as I stated previous) your kind stole this continent...However, I don't see you making a ballot about those who voted overwhelmingly to steal and kill to occupy this country...And I am certain you will not do so because that would be equivalent to you making a donation to the UNCF... Also, whenever it appears that a group of people are attempting to get their fair share of the so call American pie, people like yourself panick and begin to search out means to make this group's actions (exercising their constitutional right) suspect, that is an old tactic that your "kind" always uses... If we were to count every white vote given to Hillary, I guarantee you that she on percentage will come very close to that 97%...However, thats ok, because you and your "kind" accepts when White Americans exercises their constitutional rights... However, do remember that Obama received White votes as did Hillary received Black votes (she would have received more of the Black votes had she not played the race card)...Why should Blacks vote for her when she was so disrespectful to Obama throughout the campaign, to vote for her would imply Black voters were either ok in her treatment of Obama or her disrespectful treatment of Black America as a whole... You have to look at why she lost the Black vote in the first place (in the beginning she was winning the Black vote by 66%)rather than focusing on the fact that 97% of Black voters voted for Obama...You can deem that discriminatory all you want, but don't dare insult someone who deserves respect and expect me to continue to support you, that I deem illogical and weak... Lets not forget the overwhelmingly White female votes that Hillary received, so should I deem those White females as being discriminatory as well? So, you are the bias one regarding this matter, your ballot proves that, making a mountain out of a mole hill is typical racist baiting at its worse...
"I am a white male who believe in equality for ALL people and don't make a petty issue out of race like you and your 'kind' do..." I also believe in equality. When I sense something isn't right, I make ballots such as these. "You see, your 'kind' has been in charge long enough and where has it gotten this country?" If Abraham Lincoln wouldn't have led the north to victory we would have slavery in this country today. I understand you would like to see a different race lead the country, but only on those grounds it's not fair. The president should be the most qualified, regardless of race, to lead this great country. "Just because I am a white male does not mean I have to go along with the your racist views and silly race baiting ballots" Just because you are a white male doesn't mean you can be anti-white, either. My ballot is a FACT, and you say, by me creating it, I am racist. Which leads me to believe you do indeed agree that it's reverse discrimination. "I deem them to be failures of the worse kind in soceity and they have decided to blame others for their failures" ^ you are in fact discriminating by race. You might claim it's "justified" but it's not. However, I don't see you making a ballot about those who voted overwhelmingly to steal and kill to occupy this country Should I be held responsible for my great,great,great,great grandfather's actions because the only similar link we have is the color of our skin? "Also, whenever it appears that a group of people are attempting to get their fair share of the so call American pie..." "When a black person want's another black in power because of race? Which is quite evident by 97% of a racial majority voting for their own race. Race should not play a key role in presidency, EVER. "If we were to count every white vote given to Hillary, I guarantee you that she on percentage will come very close to that 97%" I challenge you to back that up, any way you can. With the exception of made-up statistics. "However, do remember that Obama received White votes as did Hillary received Black votes" yes, it proves race is no longer an issue for white people. But if 97% of whites voted for Hillary would you think otherwise? "You can deem that discriminatory all you want, but don't dare insult someone who deserves respect and expect me to continue to support you, that I deem illogical and weak... In other words, don't challenge race when it's reverse discrimintation, because I am racially biased. That's basically what you said. "don't dare insult someone who deserves respect" and "expect me to continue to support you " and "illogical and weak ". "Lets not forget the overwhelmingly White female votes that Hillary received, so should I deem those White females as being discriminatory as well" Compare the results of the white female vote for Hillary to the 97% black vote for Obama- in pennsylavia- result . So, you are the bias one regarding this matter, your ballot proves that, making a mountain out of a mole hill is typical racist baiting at its worse... I guess the bias comes from the facts.

So Cakeboy, this was your main reasoning behind your vote for Obama in the primaries, how pathetic... Does it suprise me that you said something as ignorant as that? Not one bit. It is soooo obvious by a good percentage of your "commentaries" on this site that you haven't gave Obama's credentials a single glance and only back him and love him to death because of his SKIN COLOR. It's okay Barby, don't feel singled out at all, because a nice chunk of Americans did exactly what you did. Cmon Babs, 97%!!!! Something is fishy about that don't you agree? Now lets talk for a bit about some of the votes Hillary recieved. Did some of the white women or women in general vote for her solely because of her gender? Absolutely. (some men voted for Obama too solely because of his gender too) Did some people vote for her simply for the fact that they didn't want a black person in power? Absolutely. Guess what, these people are all ignorant, biased, and just plain stupid.. JUST LIKE YOU!!!! This 97% Black vote for Obama in PA may not tell us which race has a greater percentage of biased people (like that really matters anyway, cmon) but it is a pretty damn good indicator that a quite a few americans are voting based on race/gender/attractiveness/ trivial issues instead of what each candidate can bring to the table when it comes to facing important nationwide issues such as Healthcare, the economy, the military, etc... Cakeboy, you also mentioned in your drivel that people can vote for whatever they want to vote for. They sure can but that doesn't mean it is right. I personally believe that only people who have achieved a high school dergee or higher should only be eligible to vote to minimize bias and "Stupid votes" a bit. This would be good to implement if politics wasn't so corrupt and if the president was more than just a mere figurehead. In all honesty though, a good deal of the ignorant biased votes cancel each other out in the end anyways. It's just sad that so many americans think with their ass instead of use their brains.

Of course it's racial bias, and racist voting. But then again, in American ONLY WHITE PEOPLE are deem to be racist no matter what they do. Minorities in America NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO OR SAY, are never accused of being racist. That is the Racial Stereotype of White People in America. That Whites are racist. No matter how much GOOD Whites do to HELP minorities, we are still accused of being racist. IT'S THE MINORITIES THAT ARE RACIST. The voting pattern you describe PROVES IT!

Do you know how many people are voting for him just because he's black?
