I think that many White Americans could never understand how many Black Americans feel about our heritage and culture. We are small in number, but have played an integral part in making America a land of the free and the home of the brave. But remember, it wasn't meant for us to be free or brave. When we tried we were hung, shot, and our families killed for many, many years. We must remember those times, and what it took for us to get where we are today. We pump billions of dollars into the economy and have fewer jobs, unequal education, and fewer opportunities than all other minorities. We have earned the right to support the candidate of our choice. He is by far the BEST candidate. He is the only candidate that is including all races and cultures equally. He is showing that he can keep to his platform issues, remain level headed regardless of the hatred and ambiguities surrounding him. He is as able and knowledgeable to take command of this country as any president, and better than many in the past that were deemed successdul. I think Clinton and McCain have forgotten that they too have Black supporters. I see racism raising its' ugly head from far too many, be it moderators of news programs, other candidates, and now our friends and neighbors.
LETS' HEAL OUR COUNTRY. VOTE FOR OBAMA.
A tired American

Why is it that the only reason someone would not care to vote for Obama is due to race? Personally, I can't fathom any clear-thinking individual voting FOR him, and the many reasons do NOT include the color of his skin. I have voted for black candidates in the past, and there are blacks, who if they ran for president, I would vote for.
