While i am glad an African -American has a serious chance of winning. I am appalled at the fact that he is a racist fuck. I was going to vote for him until i read his book.

Okay, I'll bite. Which book, and what evidence of his racism do you find in his book.

"The Audacity of Hope"

I haven't read it but mabey I should.

In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? John Kerry calls on us to hope. John Edwards calls on us to hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism here -- the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don't talk about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. No, I'm talking about something more substantial. It's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker's son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!

From his book "Audacity Of Hope "There was something about him that made me wary. A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

So? Even white kids know that you should never trust Whitey.
