While it is heartwarming to see these Black individuals express such views, I prefer to think of them as my fellow U.S. Citizens, a group of people who are as loyal and loving of this nation as any other U.S. Citizen. Their skin color means nothing to me.
Let’s get real. I don’t know of a single White Conservative that would be upset that a Black man would become President. When the right Black man comes forth, he’s going to get my vote. And he’ll get my vote based on his sound vision for where this nation needs to go. Show me a guy who is a U.S. Citizen and is green, and I’ll vote for him if he has the right core values.
J.C. Watts was one of my favorite Congressmen. He always had a positive attitude. As far as I know he always came down on the right side of issues. If I learned more about him and my perception held up, I would vote for that guy without hesitation, to be President of the United States.
As a White person, it is sad for me to see Blacks cast nine of ten votes for someone who will simply use them, exploit them, race bait on behalf of them.
I have long held that Blacks don’t have to vote like I do, but their votes should reflect the society at large closer than it does today. When that vote does mirror the society at large, racism will truly have become something from the past, that many of us wish hadn’t happened.
Republicans do not hate Blacks. They want them to lead happy successful lives. How could they do that, if they were not financially successful? Republicans support a business environment that floats all boats. That is a solid loving policy. It isn’t pandering like the Democrats do. It is truly teaching a fellow man how to fish, instead of keeping him down on the plantation, where he has to beg for one continually throughout the decades.
I believe Blacks will be better served, by the policies of John McCain. I believe that, because I think all Americans will be best served by his policies vs Obama’s. And so I wish good things for Blacks over the next four years. I wish them to benefit from a more sound nation. Wishing that for all U.S. Citizens, how could I think any differently when it came to Blacks? I don’t focus on Blacks, but addressing their actions during elections on a thread like this, I do want it clear what my hopes for them, for all of us are.
Thank you for this thread. Excellent views were expressed in your post. They sound like FReepers this go round.

Thanks for your post. I, too, have been watching J.C. Watts for many years now and I too have been very impressed. There’s nothing I’d like more than to cast my vote for the first Black President. I am still sorry Barack Obama was not that man.
