Why Obama really won the election?
What is racism? To me racism is basing ones decisions on race. I have heard some real disgraceful statements from members of my family and from comedians on BET during this past election. "You are Mexican so you have to vote democratic." and "I am black, who do you think I am going to vote for". That second statement is the most racist statement I have ever heard... I mean come on really think about it. It not only shows ones ignorance but it is really racist to say that. I mean dont get me wrong racism is definetly on the decline as one of my blogbuddies would put it.
So lets get to the title of this post...Why Obama really won the election? Up until November 4th 2008 there were two common characteristics among the majority of voters....white and elderly. With the primary bringing the first African American Presidential Candidate we now have new demographics that probably never voted before.....African Americans and young voters. So I ask is that really what the Presidential Race should come down to...."I am black, who do think I am going to vote for..."?
