Can't get much lower than this "theory." Really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Nothing would have thrilled me more than to have been able to support a black man (or even better, a black woman) for president. That's why I said in an earlier post (which you didn't bother to read) that I had been looking forward to Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention and was so disappointed when it didn't inspire me. I was hoping he was going to provide that opportunity. I supported Jesse Jackson in his runs for president; and I ultimately voted this time around for Cynthia McKinney, because I wanted my vote to be recorded for a black person, even if it wasn't Obama. Your contemptible "theory" clearly has zero to do with anything you know about me. You've only been here for a week and haven't even been reading my posts. What's behind such racism accusations, obviously, is a terrible fear that Obama won't live up to expectations. The idea is to intimidate critics into shutting up lest they be accused of racism. The charge is made by those who think Obama can't stand on his own and needs some extra help, that he has to be protected from criticism. That's the *real* racism.
