A WASHINGTON NOTE: Black Republicans conflicted on Obama

Clearly, reverse racism isn't a malady exclusive to Democrats. There are plenty of black Americans who will vote B. Hussein despite their own supposedly cherished ideals, no matter how unqualified and racist Obama is, simply because his skin is not as white as McCain's. Even tho it's been Republican administrations who have actually elevated Americans of African descent to the highest-ever positions in government, not Democrats. Jackson, Sharpton, Spike Lee, etc. have done their race-baiting work well. Burstien-Donbraye is a racist tool who'll let babies be slaughtered so that a black (nevermind B. Hussein's white, socialist mother) person can be President. D-B (for a Republican she certainly likes hyphens alot too) is a disgusting human being. 'Republicans' like her we don't need, although I must admit McCain himself certainly doesn't act like a Republican much either.

Actually, I forgot to include B. Hussein's 20-year pastor and spiritual adviser 'Rev.' J. Wright to that list of race baiters below...my bad.

I can't understand anyone who would compromise supposedly "core principles" over skin tone. What does she think she will gain on Inauguration Day? Whatever it is, will it be worth the landslide of socialism the Obamas plan to rain down on all our heads? I have a hard time believing this lady is truly pro-life if she's willing to vote for NARAL's poster boy. He wouldn't even bend on so called "partial birth abortion". It's discouraging to hear that this is as far as we've come. I know this, give me a truly conservative candidate...and I'll knock on doors for him regardless of his color. I hope Mrs. B-D reconsiders before election day.

This article is truly disheartening. I am glad for Obama's historic run. Yet and still, there is nothing that would make me vote for him regardless of his color. He values most everything I abhor. I too question the conservative and pro-life convictions of anyone who votes on the basis of skin color. How does someone who professes to be pro-life support a man who voted to allow babies who survive abortion to be left to die without medical attention? This is the person they want to be the President of our country. It is really pretty sick and very sad. I too would have preferred someone with better conservative credentials than McCain; but, his credentials are stellar when compared with B.H. Obama's. Hopefully, these people will reconsider their positions.

This is wrong on so many levels. If a newspaper wrote a similar article about a white, blue-collar union man who's registered Democrat and gonna vote for McCain, and the only reason is that McCain is white...well, you get the picture. Democracy is a wonderful thing - when you have an electorate who votes based on reason and logic - not on feelings and favoratism. I'm afraid for our country because I believe we have reached the point where the majority of the electorate is only looking out for the "small picture" ("What's in it for me right away") as opposed to the "big picture" (What's going to create more freedom and opportunity for me")

I agree wholeheartedly with this article, the fact that anyone would disavow their beliefs and principles to vote for a man/woman because of skin color is truly racist! I am AMERICAN first although my parents are from central america, and I could not care less of a person's skin color or ethnic origin! It is a true disgrace to hear of African Americans disproportionately supporting NObama just because of his skin color. So So sad! I thought we as a country were above that but apparently the group that cries out about racism the loudest, cant help the opportunity to exercise racism themselves. But you wont hear that anywhere, no one will admit its racist. But if it looks like a duck... For those blind enough to think this is not RACIST, just listen to Ludacris' Obama song! I am sick of the double standard! Those African Americans should be ashamed of themselves for falling into the very trap they have criticized for decades and practicing the very racism that hundreds of thousands of people in this country have fought and died to eradicate!

Ms.Burstion Donbraye can make billions of dollars in additional donations to pro-life groups, but it will not stop the damage the Democratic candidate will do to the efforts of many people over many years to limit the slaughter of babies in their mother's wombs. And all because of the color of the the man's skin. I would ask Ms. Donbraye what exactly the Democratic Party has done for black children other then to keep them in failing schools. Did eight years of Democratic Pres.Clinton change anything for the black community. I don't believe so.

The party of inclusion suddenly has become the party of restricting. They are not wanting LGBT super delegate voices to be heard either as evidenced by a lawsuit against the DNC, brought by Donald Hitchcock. He was even fired as the party’s gay and lesbian outreach director.

Black & Republican...that's a conflict in itself

Being Black and Republican isn't a conflict at all. What's worrisome is that these Black Republicans appear to put race over their own belief-system. Voting for someone because they're the same skin color, regardless of whether that individual disagrees with you on almost every issue, isn't interesting...it's racism, pure and simple. But hey, you're making history....congratulations

And you will have just as many white Americans coming out to vote to make sure a black man doesn't win, where's that story.
