There's an enormous difference between voting for a candidate because you hate another ethnic group and voting for a candidate because he's a member of your ethnic group.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Voting for a politician is very different then saying you like somebody or don't like somebody.
Many voted in 2008 with the desire to see racism and racists humiliated by having a qualified black man elected president.
I don't endorse people that bash judges based on his ethnic heritage.
I want to be elected on my own ability. Only then do you have progress... People should not use race as a basis for labelling me.
I never vote for anyone. I always vote against.
I'm not saying to you that every element of segregation and discrimination and second-class citizenship has changed. But in the political sense, the world has changed. People now who want to vote can vote.
I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people - because they look like them... That's American politics, pure and simple.
Your race and gender don't change, but you can choose to change your political affiliation at will.
Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.
To like an individual because he's black is just as insulting as to dislike him because he isn't white.
