and have been for years, why when a question is asked about blacks they are talked about as though they are foreigners to this country. Another thing why do the candidates try to portray issues pertaining to blacks as only poverty and crime. Don't other races have these problems? Republicons seem to think that all blacks are poor and don't want the same things as others. Another thing, why do they always to think that blacks need vouchers to be taught. A lot of the problems that are in the black communities are now being revealed due to the policies of the past of trying to keep blacks in their so called place. Why does the media think that blacks should vote for Obama because he is black.

Do whites need to necessarily have to vote for the other candidates just because they are white.Do all Hispanics have to vote for Richardson? Do all Italians have to vote for Ghouliani? Is ghouliani Italian? Why are blacks consider separate from others but Asian, Hispanics, Arabs and other races are not? Don't blacks see and do the same things as other Americans so what is the difference? I know that there is more crime and other problems but don't others have these problems too. Yes, they are higher in the black community but, there are many reasons for this, other races do the same things but it is kept hidden or the have the finances to cover it up. O'lielly always likes to talk about illegitimate children in the black community as though white women who give birth to children through artificial insemination are not to be labeled in the same category or anyone else.
