This morning on The View, Sherri Shepherd said that she voted for Obama because he was black. She said, and I paraphrase "He looks like me and my son, so I voted for him. He shows us that someone who looks like us can do anything."

Now, I'm debating an ideology. You're dodging the question.

The fact that one black person, Sherri Shepherd, admits that she votes for Obama only because of the color of his skin, and not the content of his character.

Favoritism based on race is considered a form of racism in this country, despite the textbook definition.

If instead of Sherri, it has been a white woman who said, "I'm voting for Hillary because she looks white like me and my family, and it lets my white son know he can be president," it would be considered racism.

Therefore, there is a double standard here.

It's either racism or it's not, and the color of a humans skin should have no impact on what the public at large consider racist coming from their mouths.

I don't care about you, or Obama, or Hillary. Seriously. Screw the presidency.

However, I'll win the argument every time if you're trying to tell me:

A. Voting for someone because of their skin color isn't racist.

B. Voting for someone because of their skin color hasn't happened in the democratic election.

C. There isn't a double standard for voting, based on skin color, in America, between blacks and whites.





Silly denials are all but dodging my questions, and you shouldn't be afraid to answer them. They are just questions. Get a lively debate going and stop focusing on me, just because I don't come to the offtopic forums with bullcrap topics. Serious questions require serious answers to satiate me. You can't simply spew out the first shocked rabble you think of when you read my post. Put some thought into your reasonings and you'll find that I'm not as infallible as my reputation indicates.
