Do I need to go back and quote you exactly, or will you accept you have said "I will vote for Obama because he is black, get over it" along with other like quotes, including the overly defensive pro-black ones in this thread, which regardless of some validity show no deeper level of understanding beyond that of being black, and black first! Reminds me of Oprah the stupid bitch.

1: tribal consciousness and loyalty ; especially : exaltation of the tribe above other groups
Racism is tribalism, you allow the primitive tribal instincts within you to dominate above all else, and you show your own ignorance by hardly even defending it. "Get over it". You are operating on primitive instincts and please don't tell me these instincts don't reach across and make you care about any other blacks or their welfare on a higher level to other humans, because clearly a part of you does.
IF you had the intellect or care (you don't seem stupid, just ignorant) to really debate it you would, and personally I would most likely agree about the extent to which race really does matter. In the real world; past, present and into the future (demographics, etc) race does and will play a role among the masses, to black people, as well as white and everyone, and there is an argument to be had that it could and possibly should play a role in how you vote depending on where you stand on real issues (and that goes for black and white and Hispanic and Asian and all people). But you show yourself as someone who has failed to come to that level of evaluation through laziness, and a willingness to let the primitive instincts within you dominate the very fundamentals of all your thinking. Kind of reminds me of a continent and its leaders and people.
