There is still far too much racial hatred, often hiden behind smiles and acting polictially correct. But just a look at far too many churches and other groups, I will not name denominations, but in how many cities are there black and white churches of this type of that type. And in one local church here, that has a racial mix, there is still serious racial issues because of a new black pastor ( all the previous have always been white)
So many in America still does not accept a mixed race couple.
On the surface America puts on a happy face of racial love but in many places in the south, the AMERICAN LEGION still have seperate white and black POSTS, So just like those of the other party will not accept anything Bush wants because he or his party wants it, you will have the issues that the other party will be against anything he wants just because he or his party wants it, but every thing he does will be second thought from a racial view point
I agree with you on the southern states of the US, FrChuck....100%. However, there will ALWAYS be racial issues; they will never dissipate. It's either now or never; something has to get the ball going.
I am ready to vote BEYOND racial or gender identities. I think it insulting to the candidates that they are being voted for first and foremost based on their race or gender. Is this really "post racial" MLK ideals?
I will vote for the candidate that I agree with most on the majority of issues - Economy, taxes, health, Iraq/Afghanistan/terror, abortion, immigration, 2nd amendment, energy, freedom of speech, property rights etc....
I know I was in real America today * the local Dollar Store and Walmart** and they were not even calling the people by name, they were talking black ( or worst) and women and they were voting not for what the people stood for but because of race or sex. I asked them some questions on issues and was called a rasist by the Obama supporters for questioning his stand on some subject.
The answer is yes, but not for Obama or Hillary. Colin Powell could run as a Democrat or Republican and win, as long as he stayed 'middle of the road', at least in this election cycle. Colin Powell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I see another side of it. I see that in some cases so many go overboard with PC...so I think that there are plenty who would vote for someone because they are black or female.
Not what i have seen as an outsider looking in! Unfortunate!
Some of you need to wake up and smell the roses, so to speak. I live in a small community, Deep South, probably 75% white; the local city government, with district wide voting, elected its first black commissioner thirty years ago!

Why don't you give some serious consideration to who Obama is? Do you believe he just appeared out of thin air to run for president? Do you believe Jimmy Carter appeared in 1974 when he announced his candidacy? Remember this is the USA, with many powerful people and institutions. Obama did not just wake up one day and decide, "Hey, I'm running for president."
He is first and foremost a Democrat, as is Hillary. Without beginning to research this subject, it stands to reason that very powerful Democrats did not want Hillary, who thought she had the nomination in the bag by Super Tuesday. And how were they going to sell Obama to America's gullible and uninformed public? Why Obama is a man of the people; he gets five and ten dollar donations over the internet; why, Obama is part white, a true American of mixed races. And, he is bi-partisan.
Obama was provided with a veneer that has been seriously worn and undermined. But he is a creation of the anti-Clinton Democrat activists who decided they had enough of that crowd. Obama has none of the qualities that would qualify him as a serious contender for the office he seeks. Remember, the Democrat Party is controlled by the far left, and after eight years out of office, the Clinton machine has been practically immobilized.
The Jimmy Carter race is the closest thing I can compare this year's contest with. Carter v. the unelected Gerald Ford. It was a matter of shaming Republicans with the mistakes of Nixon, and contrasting that image with the intelligent, reform-minded, governor of Georgia. The parallels are already in play with Democrats taunting McCain as a third term for Bush. The fact is that Bush is really more of a centrist Democrat than a Reagan Republican; but that's another subject.
