(although, i'm not overly convinced that race/sex is as big an issue as some seem to think it is... people respond to great leaders and leadership more than anything)

So it IS at least in part a "black thing" then.
Doesn't have to be a bad thing necessarily, but niether does pointing it out like I did indicate that I am... how did sweetcuties put it.... "ignorant and stupid."
As you seem to be saying, it is what it is. Nothing more. If he does manage to get elected it won't matter one wit that her backing of him was a little convenient or not.
But I still say your cause would go a lot further if you were to tone down your insults and racist accusations against people. Obviously some deserve it, but some do not. I doubt anyone's vote will be swayed by insults, but they might vote differently when presented with facts and reasoned arguments.
Cheers.
