By that logic, blacks are a tiny minority not to be bothered with.
Well blacks are a minority technically speaking, but I am talking about conservative blacks. Fact is that Obama is a progressive and he will loose far more votes than he will gain by courting the Alan Keyes's of America.

Obama is a liberal.

I know you were talking about conservative blacks. I was making a comparison based on logic. Blacks are to whites, as conservative blacks are to blacks.

Yes, they are voting for him just because he is black.

Again I ask what is the point of this thread?

I'm a conservative who is not voting for either of the liberals: McCain or Obama, so I have no bias towards either. Just wondering.
The point is I am wondering what you think of your Conservative brethren.

Are they selling out the cause for history?

Usually when someone says that it's going to be very hard to vote against them, they mean they're still going to vote against them. That's how I understood it at least.

Why is it such a big deal that someone who is black votes for a white person?

The big deal is that they are voting based on race when their ideals are in direct contradiction to each other.

And I'm saying that race isn't what determines who you vote for.

So you are right some people who are not black but Marxist may vote for him.

Exect for the people in the article, because that is why they're voting for Obama.
