Wait a minute... Obama is black? I also will not vote for Obama based on his stances on raising taxes, abortion and others. The fact that he is a black guy makes no difference to me - no more than McCain is an old white guy... merely characteristics used to describe them physically in my mind... I'm 40, have lived in other countries with many types of different folks - but we are all people standing on the same planet - your skin color is to me an identifying factor as hair color, eye color etc... My circle has no time for racism, nor any tolerance of it.
