Welcome aboard shakinah...
It's funny to me, actually a little sad, that Fiveskin, The Dragon, D Black (to some extent) and other intelligent members of the A.C. community have lost sight of what selecting a President is all about
:
what that individual will do (based on his past record or positions) for the issues that affect you, your family, and your community!
If your arguement against voting for Obama were that he does not support issues that affect the black community or our concerns or not as well as the other candidates, then I feel your arguement, but this talk about him not being "black enough" "uncle tom" "half-white" are baseless and inconsequential for whether he should be President or not...
From what I've heard, read, and saw, this Brother, (or man for those of you who have decided he's not really black) will support issues that affect the black community, and Africa, better than the other three (electable) candidates...let's debate the issues, not how black he is...the fact that my children will be able to see a black family, not just man, in the white house who represents the Country and supports our issues to the best the political system will allow, brings me joy beyond belief
