Black people that hate other blacks and people of color are victims of being brainwashing through whitewashing. They are self loathers, not racists.

Black people dislike white people because of their treatment of people of color around the world, not because white people are white. My black ancestors saw Europeans as friends, Europeans saw Africans and other people of color as an enemy or inferior. Africans, Native Americans, Indians, and all other black Aboriginal people are kindred spirits because they all saw each other as friends. White people put them against one another throughout history. So in conclusion, black people are not racist, just observant to history. Nor do we have a natural instinct to dislike people that are different by race, religion, sex, or culture. That is a Caucasian trait, that was taught to people of color.

Racism is the intolerance or hatred of people not of one’s own ethnic origin. Black people can most certainly be racist. And some are. Whether we’re talking about blacks here in the USA or in Africa.

Garrett,

and I am one of them.. haha, but seriously black people cannot be racist. In order to create and use a racial caste system, one must have power to enforce and exploit their idealisms. Blacks are incapable of doing such, because we hold no grand power in the world. White people or fair complexion individuals?… that’s a different story.

There are plenty of black racists that will be voting for Obama . . .

My choice for Obama’s VP has to Bill Richardson. Why so?
To kill two birds with one stone by:

1. Proving that he does not need to beg bigots to vote for him and not caving in and appearing weak by letting The Clintons bully him into putting Hillary on the ticket.

2. Proving it by gaining the hispanic vote, which will make up for the lack of “working class white voters”, and strengthen his foreign policy experience.

No pandering to racist bigots that aren’t voting for him anyway.

If Obama really wanted to be as unifying as he claims, he would reach out to someone like Chuck Hagel or even on a stretch former Senator Rick Santorum, or maybe JC.

I would like to see a Dem/Repub ticket myself.

As far as the picks you guys have, they are cool, but they are all old and crusty expect Edwards. Yall could not find any young people? Man those folks got a combined age of like 2 trillion.

It’s Friday, so maybe I’m a bit giddy today, but you certainly made me laugh out loud.

- Besides, if they were both killed, Nancy Pelosi would be president. That’s better than having a full Secret Service detail!
- The only people eager to see a Negro and a Mexican on the same ticket are the folks at BET Comic View.
- Bottom line: If Obama’s going to pick an unpopular white woman, it better be Hillary!
- Also, it would be really awkward to see Edwards snicker every time Obama refers to his corporatized health care plan “universal.”

Biden’s remarks weren’t racist, they were practically true. (Especially regarding the Black Democratic leaders)

Marc – Biden is your favorite b/c you want Barack to lose!

All 3 of these were horrible choices. Let’s discuss some formidable contenders…..
