"Sad that someone given so much space to make a case, so thoroughly exhausted the words, 'stupid' and 'ignorant', as if they somehow not strengthened, but gave logic. Face it, some were meant to talk in small groups and others meant to be published."  
 
In response I'd like to point out that what many of you "hecklers have the right to speak their mind" Black people fail to realize is, this is not just about Obama--we have to win this election for ALL Black people.  
 
If McCain wins this election he's going to complete the process of making the ENTIRE Supreme Court conservative. If that happens they can, literally, not only send this country back to the Jim Crow, era but beyond. They can reverse Brown vs. Board of Education, Row v. Wade, The Voter's Rights Act, and totally control how Black people are when arrested. We can, literally, lose ALL of our rights. 
 
So I think the words "stupid" and "ignorant" or quite appropriate to describe those Black people who are willing to sabotage Obama's candidacy simply because they don't trust another Black man. 
 
Wake up, people!
