I have known some black women, and I'm sure there are whites too, who have hardly left the Atlanta area. That's sad.
That being said, there's no friggin way I'm voting for Obama or Clinton. I just don't like 'em. Especially Clinton. She just strikes me as shady. | Really I have a black v white mentality...I really don't I have no idea why his race or anyone else is even discussed who cares I know I don't ...Other then the point he has used his racial heritage to his advantage because no-one would suggest a white male should run for President with such little experience....and good for him he is in a position to do so..I was hoping he'd keep to his original thoughts but he strayed and is a little wishy washy and shows his inexperience often. And his i was always against Iraq stance is just commical how easy to say when you were not actually there...
The other point is that no-one says Hilary Clinton a white woman although they do say woman, also Obama black (but not male) and Richardson hispanic but no-one mentions the white men for instance no one has said Romney a white male ....so race actually does matter as does gender which just shows our country is a tad backward. How many are we ready for a Black President or a Woman President (Pakistan had one for heavens sake) features have there been???
I've lived in many different countries and travelled to many places. Asia, Africa, Pacific Region, Europe and all over this country I have been very lucky. And I personally have no idea what somones race and gender have to do with their ability to lead. I think all politicans are shady to a certain degree..I like Edwrads but I don't believe he can win by himself although I wish he would..I'd like a Clinton/Edwards ballot personally because I think he'd balance out things a little at the top.. I like what he stands for
