"I'll never vote for a black person"

Today, an interesting comment by a gal over in West Virginia, "It's good to hear her talk about gas prices. They're killing us," said Donna Madden, 45, a part-time high school cafeteria employee from Clear Fork. "She's an American, a real American. It's just good to know that she has the same ancestors as us, that her family goes back for generations and generations and generations." http://www.newsday.com/services/newspaper/printedition/tuesday/nation/ny-uscamp135684113may13,0,3666360.story --- Family lines play an important role for some voters. Many measure the bloodline of people, many measure how "American" people are by ancestry. I am sure some do not view Obama as true red blooded American although he is. I am amused by this. There are none more American than my red skinned peoples. All are immigrants to our country, except for my red skinned peoples. Like measuring bloodline, some measure cultural lines. Being firm but fair, all peoples measure cultural lines in some fashion or other. We take pride in our cultural background. Unfortunately, cultural background can lead to racism. This is not a point of pride. Acts of racism against Obama and his supporters are of no surprise. Acts of racism against Clinton and her supporters are of no surprise. Acts of racism by participants here at The Daily Voice are of no surprise. Look around, there are some racists here, both black and white. What is important here is what percentage of our population are overt racists? I tend to believe in our modern world this percentage is almost insignificant. I am not disheartened by these acts of racism rather simply accept this as reality, an annoying reality. More important, are we to play up these racist acts against Obama and his people, play this up as a nationwide phenomena, or view these acts as isolated incidents being hyped by the news media? Equally important, are we to deny there are no racists acts against Clinton and her supporters, are we to not give news media attention to the flip side of this racist coin? Racism cuts both ways. We should never deny this. Okpulot Taha Choctaw Nation

Thats how you know he's going to win--because the bigots are already getting scared. You don't see anyone going to Hillary's campaign offices saying that don't want to have a woman in office. This is all so funny--and it shows the enevitablity of his presidency. I say let them get it out of their system...either way he's going to be our president or vice president.

Purl Gurl, While I respect your comment I am really going to need for you to drop this whole “no one is a real American unless they are native American” chip you have on your shoulder. You totally attempted to marginalize the shameful and racist acts that have been committed against the Obama movement. Yes, I agree with you that every race in our county has experienced some level of racism against them, but this is not article is talking about. So stick to the issue at hand, that being Obama WILL not be playing on a equal playing field in this general election. This is sad because he is FAR more capable of running this country then McCain. I used to be a Hillary supporter, but for the good of the party its time to unify behind the person in which had gotten more of the popular vote. This kind of unnecessary behavior is what I fear will hinder Obama from winning , and I pray that it stops and this country grows up quick! Can we put away 300 years of this type of thinking in 5 months. We will wait and see. Change for 08’

Last week you said racism was dead. You're nothing more than a lunatic who needs medication. You're a sad case.

Purl Gurl: I am a regular user also, and I see that you commit so much of your time and energy to knocking the site. If you don't like the site, why support it with your traffic?

UM Purl Girl, This the DAMN DEAL and listen carefully. Racism cuts many ways and that's true. However, Back in the beggininng3 WHITES made an ACTION towards Blacks with HATE. BLACKS gave a RE-ACTION from the HATE And since you're so GUNG HO. For them. Then why you're not mad at the fact they took your land from your people? Please answer madam Fool! from The KooKoo for Cocoa Puffs reservation.

I must also concede that it is astonishing that Hillary Clinton can unashamedly call these type of people her strong voter base. It also seems that if these same people were to threaten to assassin Obama she would happily take that as a positive for her campaign in the race. I never favoured her, but I always had a glimmer of respect for her. There are values that should never be up for trade.

Well, the good thing is that they are open about their hatred, and, they know they have a person who agrees with them and her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton. She opened that can of poor white victim hood and its going to haunt her for the rest of her career. But, just like her husband, when it comes down to it, they will always be white and go with the whites, racist as and all for a vote. Next she will be standing in front of this chumps place of business signing autographs. And, that Purl gurl isn't native American, she is half white and has said so since she started trolling the site she hates, I find it hilarious that she keeps that nonsense going, and, actually thinks of herself as some Pocahontas victim of the black race.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY DONNA "WHITE WOMAN LOVING" BRAZILE HASN'T ENDORSED ANYONE YET! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR THIS SELF-LOATHING "O J SIMPSON OREO" BULLDAGGER!!! SHE IS FOR HILIARY CLINTON AND SHE IS TOO MUCH OF A CROWARD TO SAY IT...DONNA BRAZILE IS A PEICE OF GHETTO TRASH!!! WE, AS BLACK PEOPLE HAD BETTER BE CAREFUL OF WHO THE MEDIA PUT ON TV TO SPEAK FOR US...THIS SORRY ASSED "GOTTA LICK THE WHITE WOMAN'S ASS TO GIVE HERSELF SOME VALUE"...GOTTA PAY FOR THE WHITE WOMAN AND THE WHITE WOMAN WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER OLD BLACK UGLY ARKWARD ASS...JUST A SELF-LOATHING BLACK BASTARD ....SHE IS AN SELF-LOATHING IDIOT!!! I FIND IT AMAZING THAT HRC IS CALLING WHITE RACIST LOSERS IN WEST VIRGINIA HAS BASE...BUT THEN AGAIN I CAN SEE WHY SHE IS WHITE AND WHITE STICK TOGETHER!!! THEY ALWAYS SAW BLACK AS LESS THAN THEMSELVES AND TOOK PEOPLE FOR GRANTED...

Purl Gurl Keep up the good work and maybe you can get Mrs William Jefferson Clinton elected.She may even need a good maid for which you might apply but you got to be Carol Simpson Stephenie T. Jones to the job.

Purl Gurl previously writes, "Racism cuts both ways. We should never deny this." A handful of participants have well made my point. Okpulot Taha Choctaw Nation

Like i said brothers and sisters, please stop using hateful and racist words toward white people as well. Two wrongs dont make a right(Wright)lol! Lets stay on the high road.

Well Purl, you would know better than most, you have heaped a whole lot of racist tirades here, your hatred of blacks is to the point of a mental illness, seek help, becuase voting for HRC isn't the help you need. Life is far too short to hate anyone and you hate a whole race? Scary and sick.

Well, well...James I think Donna Brazile and any black person has a right to support Obama, not support Obama, support Clinton, not support Clinton, support McCain and not support McCain. Your comments are filled with a lot of personal, "below the belt" attacks that completely nullifies any valid points you were trying to make.

Well tjr, does your high moral diatribe include James right to communicate his point?

I'm a Spanish-American woman from south Texas(spanish... from Spain, not mexican or messican like our black friends always say) and I'd never vote for a black man either. Especially Mr. Obama, he is far too cocky, arrogant and is simply NOT ready to lead our country as Commander in Chief. He just has that used-car salesman vibe.. he needs to spend some actual time as a Senator (if he's been a senator for 2 years and he's spent one year campaigning, what the hell has he done as a senator?). His extremist views and policies are bad, bad news for our country. I won't pretend to be all PC and act like something I'm not. I never understood why we HAVE to pretend to like blacks... the whole civil rights thing shoved in our faces with no choice to reject it without being automatically labeled a racist. The truth is Hispanic people are reticent to vote for a black person because we know firsthand from our own personal experiences how the majority of black people are to blame for the bad rap the black community gets as a whole. Look at how most crimes are committed by blacks, most inmates in prison are black... sh!t, watch that A&E show the First 48 anyday, out of 10 crimes committed, 8 are committed by blacks. They are so brilliant when it comes to playing sports and making rap music but when it comes to making important contributions to society they are lazy One of my relatives lives in Houston and tells me the New Orleans blacks have practically taken over their city. They moved there b/c of Katrina and never went back to NO. Their crime rate has risen and now they're all moving out into the suburbs, leasing huge houses in nice neighborhoods, 2-3 families moving into one house, putting their children in their schools without paying any taxes, and paying for rent with GOVERNMENT issued money. Then the problems start in the neighborhoods and people start moving out. This relative of mine owns a retail store and has told me how these NO blacks will come in even now in 2008 and demand that freebies or discounts be given to them bc they are 'Katrina victims'. The reason why they all are rallying behind Obama is bc they expect more handouts from their man. THESE are the people going out and voting for him en masse. He isn't winning the majority of the popular vote... what is happening is that more black people are coming out to vote and this is why you see him receiving more votes in certain parts of the country. So be offended, I really don't care. I speak the truth and if the truth offends you then that is too bad. Good day to all. Isabella

One long, hateful diatribe Senorita Isabella and thanks for showing how hate eats away at poor, pitiful lost souls, typical of the HRC voter of course LOL! And, your truth is sick and twisted like most of those who have that need to be validated as white, but, at least you are honest about it, so, preach on girl, preach on! Let the rage, hate and anger out, it will do you good, but, it still won't get your idol who agrees with you and your hate elected, Hillary Clinton, thank God, beucase, ya'll is one one mess or as you put it messican. But, as one who grew up in Texas, you need to learn your history, In the "old days" no blacks, no dogs or Mexicans, from Mexico or the lame claim of being from Espana, was the adage and stil lis in many parts of Texas. During the 19060's, whites did what they do best, give your peeps a bone, to make you feel as if you were better than blacks, and, from that long racist rant, I guess you fell for it. As for you being Spanish-American and certainly not in South Texas where the Tex-Mex is a proud part of the landscape. Sorry, no such thing, as in Mexico and even less in the USA, less than 10% of the people can trace their roots back to Spain and those run the country and would never be caught living in one of the poorest, backwards parts of the USA, the Rio Grande valley, so, you are Mexican American boo, and 99% of white folks don't think of you as one of theirs if you claim any mexcianback to Spain.

Simple research indicates Isabella is speaking the truth. I respect her for being bluntly honest. --- "Houston police believe the evacuees are partly responsible for a nearly 17.5 percent increase in homicides so far this year over the same period in 2005." "About 21 percent of Houston's 232 homicides through July 25 involved an evacuee as either a suspect or a victim, according to police, who attribute much of the bloodshed to fighting among rival New Orleans gang members." "Judge Robert Eckels, chief executive of Harris County, which includes Houston, said Katrina evacuees arrested in the Houston have cost the county's criminal justice system more than $18 million. In June, Texas Gov. Rick Perry sent $19.5 million to Houston to help pay for additional officers and overtime to police the city after Katrina." http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/08/15/katrina_victims_blamed_for_houston_crime/ --- Okpulot Taha Choctaw Nation

So, when the actions of some bad people in a group are blamed on the entire group or on a person that has nothing to do with them, we call that racism. What does Senator Barack Obama who graduated from Harvard Law and edited the Harvard Law Review and has been elected to the a number of offices have to do with Black gang members from New Orleans? He has no more to do with them than the average white person is responsible for Charles Manson, ENRON, or polygamists or the genocide in the Balkans. They were white right? Maybe we should never voter for white people because most major wars have been started by them? Isabella and Purl Gurl your logic is absurd and racist.

I actually think Hillary is better suited for the job of Commander in chief. She does have the experience & I think she presents herself a lot better the Obama. Doesn't look like she's going to get her chance, does it? At least not this go-round. Unless a miracle litterally falls from heaven, Hillary is done for.
