If you want to act like an *** I can easily start treating you like one. I am comfortable with my example. I disagree with your assertion that because some one claims something is rascist that it automatically is.
A Mitt Romney and Condoleeza Rice ticket?

I think one brow would contend that more people would choose not to vote (or vote for a third party candidate) than would be motivated to vote for a bi-racial GOP ticket (who would have voted for someone else or no one at all).
This may be a surprise to you, but a lot of people don't vote.
I just wanted to point out that OneBrow is a moron. A lightly-skinned, old (you have to be at least XX years old to really understand the world), jerk face. The same person who thinks the word, "Nìgga" as in, "What's up my nìgga?" is the same thing as "Nìgger", also thinks the BPP were not racists.
Sometimes I hate you.

I agree with the first paragraph. That's why I referred to demotivating the base, the result of which could be not voting, or voting for Ron Paul.
I never say Cain as more than a flash-in-the-pan, and I don't recall him ever polling at higher than 30%. When push came to shove, Cain may have been less personally, morally odious than Gingrich. Do you think that a couple of putative victims being lighter-skinned may have played a part in his plummet? Was Thomas hurt less because Hill had dark skin? I don't have definitive answers there.
The people who voted for Obama probably have a minimal intersection with the Republican base. I'm not saying you're wrong about the prior group people.
You should be uncomfortable with such an assertion. I'm uncomfortable with such an assertion. I don't recall making tht assertion. Could you point it out?
However, feel free to treat me like an *** if you want, regardless of motive. It will not bother me at all.
I don't buy that, but it's all dependent on where you live. I grew up in the uber liberal Bay Area paradise. How did people with darker skin in Oakland experience racism on a daily basis, especially when in many neighborhoods they were the large majority? Or even a city like Alameda where the demographics, particularity on the west side, were very multi-cultural?
Does anyone else think that no matter who gets the nomination or ultimately elected, we won't be happy with our next president? I am not a huge Obama fan, and other than possibly Ron Paul, I don't really have a candidate from other side I am excited about.
When was the last time we had a leader in this country that most Americans could rally around and support?
It's sad, really.

Well, I'm 49, so still about ten years too young to have experienced the environment of the Black Panther Party in any significant way, but old to some people. I am curious why you think you know how light my skin may or may not be.
I think, when you are a person of privilege, it's very natural to to see a response to racism as being racist, rather than corrective.
It's good to hate me sometimes. Keeps me sharp.
In pretty much the same way they experience such racism in certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn, East St. Louis, etc. Please read the links, and let me know if they don't make sense to you.

After Obama's acceptance speech promising all this change I think the majority of the country was rallying around him. I thought that speech was amazing. The problem is that the change never came.
I do not think any president will enjoy over 50% for long if at all. The country is to divided into left and right. YOu are right it is sad.
