The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be."

*kitty* and 'spluvr'...
let's get one thing straight, obama is NOT FULL BLACK. His mother is white and his father is black, from the African country Kenya. I definately know this b/c i'm half black too, so i keep up with whats going own with mixed people......and you say that black people are going to vote for him just b/c he's black. Um!!!!!not everybody thinks like that....
you know!!,,,,,,,,, some people actually do their OWN research on who would be the best candidate, but obviously ya'll both just base everything by what you HEAR!!!
Regardless of what race you are,....you have ignorant people who will vote for a person just because he's white, or latino, or black.....its like that in every race!!!! ....

GET EDUCATED PLEASE!
