I grew up IN nyc. i sadly heard more against white comments by blacks.(then antiblack comments from whites). I dont get it. Theres a saying some people have and its "i have black friends" well. I DO. and
its sad to see all of this ugliness in the world. OBAMA is someone i am against cause i think hes WRONG!
policy wise and other wise.

Too bad you dont realize that both Obama and Mccain favor policies of cap and trade.

Grow up, and start living outside of your own twisted bias bubble. Your just afraid of change and not willing to admit it. I would have more respect for you if you just came out and said, I'm afraid that America could change for the better. Change is inevitable, things couldn't go on the way they were. For once in my life I have hope.

Bankrupting an industry that supplies 80% of the worlds electricity is proof of Obama's stupidity. It would take 10-20 years if not more to phase out coal power completely, so its pointless to try and bankrupt the business when there is no viable current replacement. In my opinion, this country will fall apart into civil war, or we'll be watching Obama's obituary on CNN...
