I''ve grown up being told that targeting a group of people based solely on their race was, by definition, racist.

So what happened?

So where did that 80% go when the black man showed up? They dropped Hillary like a hot potato. Ha ha ha. You say that''''s not racists? Please.

African-Americans have supported every white Democratic Ticket (Carter, Dukasis, Clinton (twice), Gore, Kerry). Now we decide to throw our support behind a candidate that is African-American, we are racist. That doesn''t past the smell test. We didn''t support Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Carolyn Mosely-Braun. We did''t support Hillary becuase we believe that Obama is the more qualified candidate. Your argument is flawed because Obama has a white running mate. No one complains when the majority of McCain''s support is white.
