James T. Harris-a black conservative

The reason i made this thread is because James t Harris has been getting alot of slack from African-Americans because he is not supporting Obama (and hes from Wisconsin lol). African-Americans are angry that he is not supporting the first back canidate for the US presidency.

read some of these comments. Some saying he was a 'plant' from the McCain campaign. If you didnt know, he is a conservative talk show host. So i think its bull to think he was a plant.


What do you think? Should he still support Obama?

I am not black, so i dont know how they feel. But i agree that what you believe is right for the country should matter most of all. Im sure that all African-Americans are proud that a black man is running for the presidency, im sure we all are. it really shows how far this country has come.

No, he certainly shouldn't support Obama because he's black.
I also wouldn't expect any rational person to support Alan Keyes because he's black.

If he's a conservative, then I suppose he should support McCain.
Although, of course, I don't personally agree with that...

But you guys know that...

Anyway, I don't really understand your intent with this thread, SeanMi...
I mean, can't black people have the same right to make a bad choice for president just like white people can?
What's your point?

well this has been in the news alot. and some african-americans are calling him a sell-out.
me and you had a mini debate with the palin thing, involving this issue. should you support a canidate cause of there race, gender...?

me and you agree on this. just not on the actvist groups
so theres not much more of a point then just the question.

Alright.

I just don't think it's relevant.

Lol, I think that if he doesnt want to vote for Obama he shouldnt. You vote for Issues not race, looks, Gender, Etc!
