The Race Issue

Published by thilgy at 11:59 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Is race really an issue?  

Obama loses Kentucky huge, but wins Oregon by double digits. 

Cable news networks break down the exit polls by every demographic possible, but can race really be considered a factor?  Obama won Iowa, a state largely populated by whites, and wins Oregon, even after the Rev. Wright debaucle.  Supposedly its the upper middle class educated yuppies that flock to the polls for Obama.  He seems to have that group in his pocket.

So again, what about race?  Everyone seems to think he has the black vote locked down, but I beg to differ.  His race does not, and should not matter, as much as the media and certain civil rights activists seem to want to make it matter.  Granted, in some states he did get a resounding percentage of black voters, but the race discussion needs to cool down.

And keep in mind, he’s as much white as he is black.
