I agree with you in principle, Farm, but I made the racial distinction because I understand why Blacks are naturally inclined to vote for one of their own, especially given their history in the United States. It's completely natural, but fortunately, many Blacks also understand that a Mitt Romney presidency would be far better for them and their families. Let's hope he earns more than 3 percent of the Black vote, which is about what McCain drew.
The same is true for Whites. Whites are naturally inclined to vote for one of our own, but fortunately, most of us also understand that some things are far more important than race. For example, who could argue that Justice Clarence Thomas is not a better choice than Chief Justice John Roberts? Chief Justice Roberts openly betrayed conservatives of all colors. Justice Thomas did not. In my book, I would vote to confirm Thomas, a Black man, and disavow Roberts, a White man. Why? Because Thomas has proven that he is more likely to vote as I would vote. That's more important than race.
Unfortunately, many more Whites are able to make that distinction than Blacks, which is why Blacks will largely vote along racial lines again in 2012, while Whites will vote for the political ideas that we best identify with. With many Whites, that will again be Muslim Soetoro, which is absolutely disgusting.
Let's hope and pray that Blacks don't bend for Soetoro to the tune of 96 percent of their voting populace again in 2012. |
