I think being black helped him overall. It may have cost him some votes in the south but I think it really helped him with young people. Young people were extremely excited about Obama. He had an almost "rock-star" type of appeal. I think part of that was due to his race. As I said earlier, I think that being a minority is considered "cool" by young people.

I think being someone not named Bush, who didn't want to force their religion down our throats and who didn't start a war because he was to weak to say no Cheney and because he a freakin smart guy is was what got him elected. Because he was black is like saying that Ron Guidry won 23 games because he was a lefty.

I'm not saying he won because he was black. I'm not saying that at all. I'm simply saying that being black didn't hurt him and overall it may have slightly helped him.

And I'm saying that blacks not named Obama don't have an equal chance as whites do. And you disagree...let's leave it at at that...cool?
