For me and my black family…well we are going for Mitt Romney all the way. We did not vote for Obama the first time around, and we will not give him our vote this time either…he flip flops on gay marriage, abortion, and he lies about being what he truely is, a muslim…Hollywood and the media got that man in the whitehouse, along with dirty chicago politics.

and I agree with above comments, stop using RACE. You insult your own race by playing that card over and over. It is silly, just silly to vote for someone just because they are the same race as you… get over it, be smart and vote for someone who will make a REAL difference…. I am a proud African American woman with a proud African American man who will vote for MITT……

I must say, my husband is a strong black man, successful, and proud to say he and I both will vote for Mitt… we have worked hard, put ourselves through college, my husband got his engineering degree masters then went on to medical school and became a radiologist, and we voted for Obama 4 years ago, but his methods are manifesting into taking money out of our paychecks because we worked hard, put ourselves through school, became a doctor in the medical field, and now his plan is to cut medical care reimbursements, how does that encourage young African American people to want to go be the smartest and brightest and go to medical school only to make little money in the end. NO…. Mitt will fight to make those that work hard and earn their money be able to get paid for their hard work. OBAMA is allowing those that want to stay on welfare, stay on it. So I differ that I know many African American blacks that will vote for MITT so that they can earn what they deserve.

“It’s been long held the Republican party is the party of the old Dixie-crats. The party of southern land owning, humans as property owning men. ”

Tell that to Lincoln and MLK. You are spinning like crazy to race an issue… look in the mirror because the real racists are those who make race the issues. Your hateful and racist column is just a list of baseless opinions to make the gop look bad, but what you did was make us look bad. Stop the hate and try to talk facts and less bolony.

It’s deep seated, not deep seeded.

Perhaps this is why Robert Byrd, Democratic Senator who served in Congress until his death in 2010 recruited more than 150 people to join the KKK of which Byrd was also an active member.

The comments here show how astoundingly different people see the world depending on their political prism.

Obviously, white racists are Republicans now. They were just as obviously Democrats until 1948. They switched between 1948 and 1960. It makes for interesting history for the politically inclined. Anyone who thinks Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln would have anything to do with today’s GOP is massively deluded.

Just follow the party i.d. of Strom Thurmond….

By the way, check out how many African Americans voted for Kerry, Clinton, Dukakis, Mondale, or Carter. African Americans vote Democratic by a huge margin, and have for a long time. That Obama got overwhelming support is not surprising in the least.

Honestly. You expect that looking up “Angry Black Man” on Youtube is going to provide reasonable information? Really?

Buncha morons in Internetland….

Obviously the author of this article is a racist, but that’s OK because he is black! No white would dare to speak as he does. So tired of this hypocrisy! Besides, being from the South, but having lived in the North for many years, I know first hand how wrong he is in claiming racism is ONLY in the South. Pure bull! And, for blacks to get a pass on only voting for their own color is disgraceful! Not anything new though, we’ve seen this happen over and over, even when the issue is as serious as murder. Isn’t that what happened with OJ Simpson’s trial?? This election should not be about color, but as always this is what some irresponsible racists love to turn it into!

I am appalled at the very ideas this guy has. The fact that race is playing such a huge factor in these elections is appalling. The last elections as well. I would ask anyone how the last 3 1/2 years have gone for them financially? Unemployment staying above 9%. Peoples annual incomes dropping this isnt prosperity. Yes the Republicans are in favor of tax cuts for people making more money but think about who is creating those jobs we so desperately need. It isnt the people making less than 100K a year. I believe there is fear under this administration for those people who would be creating jobs. They are afraid to do anything as far as expanding or starting a business. Think about in less than 2 years you will be “taxed” if you cant afford to buy health insurance. I do live in the south and I am not wealthy at all. I am a single parent and yes I am a woman. I have seen the last 4 years hurt all of my business ventures. I think its time for a change. If anyone votes solely on race they should be ashamed. If Mitt had picked Condoleeza to run with him would we be having this issue? Dont think so!!

This is NOT the article I wanted to read today! OMGosh! Some people are so ignorant it’s unbelievable! Did the author sleep through US HISTORY!!? He had the nerve to call Republicans the “slave owners”! SHUT UP!? Until the 1950s and 1960’s the DEMOCRATS were the rulers in the south! All slave owners were DEMOCRAT and it wasn’t till around the time of Kennedy that things began to change! We just had this whole discussion about it in History last year. And when is it ok to have a whole race of people vote on color only? If white people wrote this article and started off the first sentence like this guy did, they’d be tarred and feathered! This is so LAME!!
