I wonder is she has a 'thing' for you. It could be love.

nice looking new poll for some.

oh, i'm aware of that.

thought it interesting to see Obama break 50 nevertheless.

Seems a majority of white America, according to rc's poll, don't think blacks are friendly, good neighbors, hard working, industrious, good students...

Does that mean Obama's screwed? The blacks can't carry him.

CMN: you really need to brush up on your chart reading skills.

i don't think so.

why?

None of the groups represented in the chart had favorable opinions of blacks regardless of political affiliation.

i agree, which is why I said this.

I was referring to your comment about republicans being blatant racists.

Care to comment?

Why does the majority of white Dems think blacks are poor neighbors, students, workers,.....? Is this who will carry the Messiah to the promised land in November?

More like licking it's wounds. Shanghai exchange down from 2915 to 1932 in one month.

With well over a trillion US dollars in it's effective reserves, the Chinese are the last ones to want the dollar to go down.

Yes, and one thing about this poll.

Having an "unfavorable" view of Black does not mean that someone will not cast a vote for Obama.

(At least I didn't see that in the article. Did I miss it?)

Will negative opinions of Black keep the 30% of Democrats from voting for Obama?

I guess we'd have to see polling data, if it's even possible to get accurate data on this because people are not forthright in their answers on these topics.

Racism is rampant in the USA regardless of political affiliation.

^do agree I know of plenty of black racists!!!

brit -- how many hours have you actually been in the usa?

too many

have you ever been to the usa?

^yes many times mate!!!!

good. you then have every right to make shallow and inaccurate observations like a member of the merkan electorate.

Cheers Mate!!!

As things stand, and now that the issue of colour has enetered the debate (here), I do believe that McCain will win the election. . . for all the wrong reasons . . . Palin being one of them, a candidate brought in to win the election, not to govern.


The US is not ready for a 'black' president and will vote that way. I wish I were wrong, and we shall see, I hope I am.

^ i think this but i cannot say it aloud.

it is so utterly sickening to me....
