The Role of Race in the Election

[PsychoJag]

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks ? many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

Okay-if that is the case what are BLACKS going to do about it?
Are we going to take back our kids?
Make our sons pull up their pants?
Send our kids to school to LEARN and not just eat and fight?
Start speaking out on those us who do wrong instead of defending them like R. Kelly, Pacman and others
Stop define black manhood as how many babies you can make, how many trips to jail you can do and how much stealing you can do?
Will we finally start demanding better images of ourselvs in music and tv?

If Obama loses this election thanks to us, maybe it will be a message to get our crap together!

Skyvolt, I agree with anything you just said but honestly I don't believe majority of white america will vote for a black man, just cause he's black not cause of the reasons you stated.
