When did the Nazis become a race, Kenny?

A start would be to stop criticizing and being hypocritical of those who vote for the black man when America has never had a president that hasn't been white. It sounds like America has been voting based on race for a long time, it is nothing new. A start would be getting the first non-white governor of Alabama. Why can't there be an Mexican President? Asian President? Native American President? It is because whites have voted based on race for too long. Now that other races are beginning to vote based on race, which is a result of the white race bias voting, everyone has something to say.

I never said race, I said group of people. Nazi were a group of people were oppressed Jews, just like blacks were a group of people who were oppressed. Also, lets not to try avoid the primary topic with nip picking to distract us from the main issue.

How can I not be critical of it when I am labled a racist if I do the same thing?
I'm not being hypocritical, because I've never done it. I'll vote for any race, man or woman, who proves to me that they are the best leader for the country. Maybe it's time for everyone, black and white, to stop looking at race. To demand it of only one is wrong.

Simply an observation. But I see that white voters are more open to voting for a black candidate than Black voters for an White candidate. See here >> Obama's Black Voters And Hillarys Women Voters

Dude, you do nothing but spew racism. That IS certainly racism. It doesn't matter your reason for 'not liking a race'. It's the fact that you group people up by races, and label them.

This is simply a cop out. You are avoiding taking responsibility for your racism by making irrelevant excuses.

Lets not present these flawed statistics, when blacks voted for Bill Clinton in large number. Blacks voted for JFK in large numbers. Blacks have voted for whites in large numbers throughout history and never had whites voted for blacks in large numbers. Also lets recognized that for the last 200 years, whites have been more likely to vote for whites, evidence being that there has never been a non-white president despite America being so multi-cultural.
