God help us if there had been a ad by George Bush for "White People for GW"
Well this is African Americans for Obama... Neither sounds very good to me and still paints this country down racial lines. IMO
But maybe I am just being too sensitive.
Is it just me or is this racist?

Maybe it's time for us 'white folks' to sue and cry 'foul'!

I have never seen as much racism as this Pres. has generated and it ain't comin' from the caucasian side, IMHO. Go figger!

I agree with you RE3, and I thought electing a black president would help the racial divide, in my opinion it has gotten worse.

Ive been accused of being racist but I aint...I hate evrybody equally.
Liked this story...http://news.yahoo.com/blacks-insist-im- ... AM-;_ylv=3
"I prefer to be called black," said Shawn Smith, an accountant from Houston. "How I really feel is, I'm American."
"I don't like African-American. It denotes something else to me than who I am," said Smith, whose parents are from Mississippi and North Carolina. "I can't recall any of them telling me anything about Africa. They told me a whole lot about where they grew up in Macomb County and Shelby, N.C."

Amen Shawn Smith, I don't call myself a German American.
