But his race or my race in no way impacted my decision. To say that it is unracist to vote for a person of my color creates a double standard. That is to then tell white people that for all of them to vote for John McCain bebause they are "proud" of their white heritage is equally ok. Just because we are a minority doesnt mean we chould hold ourselves to separate standards. Obama didn't win because he was black or in spite of. He won because America believes he is the right man for the job. For black people to have voted for him simply because he's black and they're black is racist. End of storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
