8. I don't get it?

One of the reasons, that I read was Blacks in Georgia were racist towards Whites.What does that have to do with President Obama? Are they saying Blacks were getting jobs over them or something? They love to watch African American athletes, yet they claim Blacks are racist. One Georgian that shows a total disdain for President Obama is Newt Gingrich. People think he is smart but I can see right through him. He got the nerve to call President Obama lazy. As an African American male in North Carolina, I feel like Newt Gingrich or Sununu is insulting me. if they want to consider someone that is divisive, then Newt Gingrich is divisive with his race baiting. That is their problem. They listen to old white men like Todd Akins and Newt Gingrich. The only problem for them, this is not the 1860s where Blacks are passive. That is why I want to see President Obama put Mitt Romney in his place.

He should not back down because people want to portray him as some "Angry Blackman", while seeing Mitt Romney as a strong leader with his Bullying tactics. To me, that is racist. In this Day and Age, I'm not use to being passive to white males. President Obama is just as qualified to be President as any white male. In fact, he is better than Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan to be President. He is better than George W. Bush. I think that is the problem with the GOP. I hear the same from George Will. I think it is time for the president to stand up for himself instead of backing down. I think the people that put him in office will back him, which include Blacks and Whites. The only divisive Party is the GOP while everybody else is progressing. I have no problem voting for someone rather they are Black,White, Yellow or Red for President. The only party you see going around with people saying put a certain race in the Whitehouse are in the GOP. I expect the Democratic party to elect a woman and an Hispanic as their next Presidential candidates. I would vote for the Hispanic mayor from Texas. I would also vote for Hillary if she ran. It doesn't matter what color or race they are. And if Colon Powell was in the Democratic Party, I do believe, he would have been president by now instead of serving George W Bush.
