I agree with this statement. Just to clarify, I wasn't saying that Obama isn't "black" enough to be president. Not what I was saying at all. What *I* was saying is that he has muslim in his blood, and practiced those muslim ways as a child.
Muslim in his blood?? WTH? Muslim IS not a nationality. There are many people in this country that are Muslims,are they all Osama's (your words) What are Muslim ways??
WHat I am saying is that I will not vote for him because of that. I don't care how intellegent he seems to be, or how articulate he comes across.
He doesn't mearely come across as Intelligent...The man is Intelligent,Articulate and Educated. With "most" voters these things do matter.
Letting someone of that culture, run in our government is political suicide.
OMG!!!! It's not like we're living in political prosperity NOW!!!! I personally know many black people of the Musilim faith. Explain please What is their culture. You continue to make reference to this,but what are you really saying? Being raised as a Muslim means what??
What I don't get is why is Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, MichaelBaisden popular black folks, accepting Obama into the black category, when he is not black? If anything, more whites are supporting Obama than anything. But I hear people in general, and on the radio saying that they are voting for Obama because he is black. And I am like WTF? Obama isn't black?
Are you even following this race??? Are you even attempting to become informed??? Because what you're saying is so inaccurate it's mind boggling. Obama has a very large group of Black supporters And if he's NOT black,what is he? Remember MUSLIM is not a nationality or RACE! I know you made a statement about him having a "white" mother,so at best he's mixed...BUT then again SO ARE YOU!!!! Why wouldn't "Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, MichaelBaisden popular black folks", Support Obama,and accept him into the Black Race?? Oh lets NOT forget Oprah! He IS the only candidate of color isn't he? AND if your argument for not voiting for him...Is He's not Black,then I guess you'll sit this one out,because NOT any of the other candidates are Black either . I said and will repeat Vote for whoever best represents your views,but DAMN Make an intelligent choice. And BTW Obama is just as Black as you are,unless you're claiming to be a full blooded African. I'm going to let this go...I like Obama and Hillary, and I love this democratic process. BUT what I can't abide is having a debate with a person that doesn't have a damn clue about the state of these political affairs. A little bit of understanding sure does go a long way!
Next you'll be saying Malcolm X wasn't Black either,because as I'm sure you know He was a Muslim.
