the ignorance on this article is a shame. yes i am from the hood, yes i am black and NO I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHOM I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR. but the crap that people are writing on this needs to stop. The classy thing I like about Obama is that despite what people are saying about him, he still runs his race and he inspires hope for all people. That's what I like about him as a person. But i feel it is to early in the game to decide who you are going to vote for just yet. Elections are in November, it is still April, damn near May. Do you really think that you know these candidates as well to trust them to hold the future to the country in their hands. All politicians have scandaled. It's the nature of the game. But its funny that we are quick to comment on Obama's when Hillary and McCain also suffered this campaign. Lets not be stupid, look how the ignorance of Party Wars hindered this country. LOOK WHO IT GOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW!!! Look at the state of the union. But where is the union with comments such as the ones above that where left. Children of America, let us not make the same mistake twice but with the issue of race. let us not be dummies. Oh look a ghetto chick just told you about yourself while rolling her neck and popping gum, smoking a jack (cigerette) politically!!!!

Obama is a racist. The only thing Obama is good at is making a speech. He sure can talk good, but he won't change America. People talk about him being the ONE to change the racists of this world.....sorry, it isn't going to work. People will not change their views. You will NEVER be able to make America a non-racist country. I wish Obama would get off it already and quite saying he can make a difference. He won't do nothing to change any point of views. Do people that accept his views really think he's going to get all of us to sing koom-bye-ya together? I thought September 11th was supposed to bring us together as Americans, but that didn't even work. What it worked for a few weeks and then it went POOF. Obama talks a good speech, however being command, I don't think so. We need a Democrat, but NOT him. As for Joel Madden, he's so dumb. "Yeah, I'm voting for him because he's cool!" Are these the people that should be voting? I don't think so. Stick to your rock-and-WANNABE-roll, Joel. No, celebs backing a President does not reflect on how I vote. I at least take time out to do my research on all candidates, and when I have a conversation about them, I don't say, "Yeah, I'm voting for them because they're cool, hello!"

5:07 PM David Says:

Dear Jessica, why do I care whom your Black tribe members are voting for? You basically proved my point, which is your tribe like to point out the difference between white and black, and so forth. Get over it. I'm going to vote, but it sure isn't for Obama. That is my choice. As for you doing research and studying every candidate, good for you, it shows that there really are educated Blacks in America.
================================================
And you proved my point David. You point out the difference of black and white. Calling most of us ignorant. I am not telling you to vote for obama. You can vote for anyone you want. That is your right and like I said I don't push people to vote for obama. I feel sorry for you because you seem intelligent but your comments say otherwise. Do you know every black in the US? If not how can you say none of them do not know what hey stand for? You just have a negative attitude about everything. I know what Obama stands for and yes rev. wright was so wrong. And I am sorry for that. But not all blacks think the way he does. And I hate to say it but yes race always is an issue in politics. If not there would be multiple minorities in the white house. But just because you don't like him you don't have to resort to name calling. I do not call mccain or clinton names. They also have many positive ideas to bring into the white house. I just like obama's better-and that is MY opinion. So why keep spewing the hate?

Many of you hate dislike obama because he's "racist" yet some of these comments show that you are no better yourself. Teasing and steryeotyping. I agree with jessica. She's a young girl but she says to let the hate stop. Personally, I am a republican but I don't like bashing others. The US is the only country that is racist and cruel to it's own people. Not all blacks are ignorant and racist and supporting obama because of his race. I am biracial and my black husband is still deciding who to vote for. I am proud of both my white and black roots. Some of these comments are so cruel. I thought people in the US were over the racial issue but obviously not. I am embarrassed for obama's black pastor. And I am black for myself. You must know that many of us are intelligent. Just because you see a bunch of blacks messing up in the media and the ghettos don't be fooled. A lot of us read and listen just like you.

YOU PEOPLE ARE RACISTS! THAT'S WHY THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER REACH ITS FULL POTENTIAL! UGH!

WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY AND GO LIVE IN THE BACK WOODS WHERE YOU BELONG? IGNORANCE HAS NO COLOR.

THIS IS WHY OTHER COUNTRIES HATE US OR LAUGH AT US. BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL. AMERICANS SHOULD SET THE EXAMPLE FOR THE WORLD, INSTEAD WE'RE LOOKING LIKE COMPLETE IDIOTS.

ho hum. next story. i don't give two craps who these who-?-bodies are voting for.

It freaks me out that Obama says he's a uniter. But I never knew Black people hated America before Obama came along. I thought Black people liked America just as much as anybody. Now through Obama's people, I find out they hate America because of slavery and racism. Well OK, hate the racists, but it's not cool to hate the whole country. This was the defense Obama's people gave for the Rev. Wright's anti America remarks. They said: Oh, ALL Black people hate America. And it's OK for Obama to hate America because he's Black. But the irony is that Obama's mother was white and his father was straight from Africa, not an African American descendant of slaves. So why exactly Obama has a chip on his shoulder, I don't know. He seems to have gotten pretty far in life. Whereas Black people who haven't gotten far, you might be able to understand if they are bitter. So is it true that Black people hate America? Because I'm just saying what I have been told. Maybe they don't hate America. But that's what Obama's campaign has put forward: that Obama has a right to hate America because he's Black. So this is very divisive stuff. And his campaign also has cast doubt on whether the Clinton years were good or not, and few people, at least not Democrats, doubted they were good years before he came along. He is a very divisive figure.

You know what's funny Jessica? How come you chose to come after the white guy, even though it's pretty obvious that Sharmaine & Sharmeels comments were way out of hand? Those two seem related, but oh well.

3:57 David. Your comments are so immature and untrue. I am a black 17 year-old girl who wants Obama to win and I am not ignorant or racist. I will turn 18 in October. Right in time for elections. For the past 6 months I have studied each candidates views and I like Obama's the most. That is my personal opinion. I am a democrat but I don't try to persuade others to vote for Obama and I have no problem listening to other people's views. I have other black friends who are voting for Hilary and McCain. Your sad prejudice/intolerance is what upsets me so much. It's just silly. That's like saying only whites vote for McCain or only women vote for Hilary. Please grow up.

I read that Obama watches ESPN, that made me definitely wanna vote for him. He's a cool dude.

wow...12:38. I hear that ignorance is bliss and I guess that really must be true, at least based on your comments.

Live and let live...vote for who you want, but why the need to come on here and blast people? This country has the freedom of practicing whatever kind of religion you want to practice (if you choose to do so at all).

Way to go brainiacs. "He's cool". Sad thing is there are some even more dumb people that are actually influenced by "celebrities' political opinions". I wonder if Paris encouraged them to register to vote. Vote or Die!!!!

I'm with a lot of other people on here. Don't vote for someone because "he's a cool guy". Personally my vote is going to McCain because I value the Republican party-and Obama and Hillary seem to be a joke! However, I realize this is a free country and respect someone else's views and who they will want to vote for-AS LONG AS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE VOTING FOR!! To say it's because "he's a cool guy" do you know what else they are all about? You know, once upon a time people probably thought Hitler was a "cool guy" too. Not comparing the two, just the thought process.

OH WOW, I'M SO SURPRISED, NICOLE VOTING FOR OBAMA!

DID ANYONE HEAR REV. WRIGHT, OBAMA'S FAVORITE GUY FOR TWENTY YEARS SPEAK AGAIN TODAY? I GUESS OBAMA HAD NO IDEA HE IS A RACIST PIG WHO HATES WHITES AND AMERICANS AS A MATTER OF FACT. HE THINKS THAT THE CHICKENS CAME HOME TO ROOST ON 9/11, HE LIKES FARAKHAN AND MOMAR GHADAFY OF LIBYA. YEAH, OBAMA IS REALLY A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NICOLE, YOU READY TO WEAR A BURKA???? KEEP VOTING FOR LEFT WING JERKS LIKE OBAMA AND WE'LL BE SPEAKING ARABIC SOON ENOUGH. ARABS ATTACK WEAK TARGETS, GET YOURSELVES EDUCATED PEOPLE.

JOHN MC CAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! THINK PEOPLE, THINK ALREADY!!!!!!!

Coachella Fest hell ya i was so there because i live there awesome.
