84. Where exactly are these so called people who are not voting for HRC because of her race?

Just a small suggestion, you might want to put the crack pipe down before you type up such nonsense.

Where are the people who are saying they wouldn't vote for HRC because she's white? Do they exist anywhere besides in your head?

Do you have tape of black people saying that they won't vote for a white person? No, but we sure as hell video of white people saying that they won't vote for a black man.

Obama's been forced to repudiate Farrakhan who he's not even been allied with yet HRC actively courts the racist vote and Obama has repudiation to do? The attempt to equate HRC's racist supporters with Obama's supporters is ridiculous.

I've said this before but it bears repeating. Black people have been voting for white candidates for as long as we've been able to vote. We've even been known to vote for white candidates instead of black candidates running for the same office. And yet when we vote for a black candidate instead of the white candidate it's because we're racist?

No sweetie, I don't think so. Please refrain from projecting your race issues onto us.

It looks to me that for some so called Democrats, black people voting for a democratic candidate in the 90+% range appears to be just fine with them as long as it's the candidate they support. Now we use our numbers to vote for a candidate you don't like and it's suddenly racist.

I call bullshit.

Regards
