amen to 142 & 144

Alright, this is getting rediculous.

I do agree that black people do patronize other people of color too much and support them too much. But, mind you. there are a LOT of racist black people who help to fuel opposition and feelings of mistrust by other ethnic minorities. Black people stay calling folks “chinks” “cooleys” “gook” “wetbacks”, etc. Hell! The responses in this thread alone proves my point. So, can you really blame the hispanics for not being on our side? And, I’m not even going to go into the prejudice between AAs and non-american black ethnic groups. Keep It Real: We are some racist people and hypocrites at times.

You cannot fight racism with racism. If you want other minorities on your side, then set the example by doling out the olive branch. The best way to fight indignation is by taking the higher ground and setting an example for humanity. Not too long ago, there was unity between the asians and blacks; in many different countries, asians and black are romantically linked…yet we harbour disdain for one another here. Same story with latinos.

I think that the same thing that happened between the Bush campaign and the latino voters: misinformation. Bush lied to alot of people about immigration. Since many couldn’t understand the lack of power he had in such matters, they voted for him. But, to sit here and lump all latinos into one boat while ignoring our own hatred is what keeps getting black people caught up.

You would have to live here to understand. As a matter of fact just visit and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I was raised in (Berkeley, CA) and that is one of the most culturaly diverse cities in the country. Here all the Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, People from the Middle East get along. But for some reason outside Berkeley and maybe San Francisco they can’t get along. I love everybody and at the end of the day we still second class citizens compared to white people.

“The fact of the matter is that Obama in particular, and this whole democratic campaign in general, has led to and brought forth more division than it has brought people together. In actuality, it is really only highlighting the divisions that were always there.”

I agree with Judah, he’s on point with that, and it’s about time that these issues start coming out now in order to move forward in this country.

@ #42 NOTMORECLINTONS

Thank you!! Thank you,! Thank You!

I loved reading everyone’s comments. Debate is always a good thing as long as it is done in a positive manner. I thought I would put in my two cents.

First, I am a Latina who lives in Southern Cali, 10 minutes from the Mexican border. HOWEVER, I went to Wiley College (The Great Debaters) which is an HBCU in rural Texas. I vorted for Obama because I believe in him. I pray that he becomes President, one reason being so that he can help change the minds of so many ignorant people. My heart broke when the Hispanic community did not overwhelmingly support Obama. My heart broke because I knew that they “fell” for the lies. I educated myself and found that Obama supports the issues that Hispanics face FAR more than Hilary. However, what many must understand is that maybe it is not racism that plagues the members of my ethnicity. Personally, I think it is the sad belief in my culture that Caucasians are the Superior race. We are often directly and indirectly taught that we must be like them. When immigrants come into this nation they picture a white person leading. It’s Sad. However, I believe that Obama has the power to change the minds of so many people. I voted for him on Super Tuesday and I will vote for him again in November when he is the official Democratic Nominee!

I had the chance to see senator Obama yesterday here in new orleans and it was filled to capacity. There were still 500+ people waiting outside that couldn’t get in. All I know is senator Obama is a breath of fresh air! There is No difference between clinton and every other person who has been president except she lacks a member! senator Obama has my vote tomorrow!

@ one love thank you i agree so much…

Did anyone catch the CNN piece today on Asian Americans? They were polling Asian communities from California to Washington State, and some actually said (On Camera!) that they would rather vote for Hilary over Obama because she’s white.

Wow.
