Thread: Why does a presidential candidate's race matter in this presidential election?

I'm not a racist and I would not reject a presidential candidate because he race xyz. In the presidential election, what role does race play? I don't think it plays any role. There will always be an amount of prejudice people towards race xyz.

Why does a presidential candidate's race matter in this presidential election?


To the rational, level headed people it does not; yet we are being bothered by one un-stable person that has such a bad self-image that they have joined a racist cult and all you hear from them is about, "Race" and they claim that they are not about race, yet are the only group to keep going on about race!

Odd critters, huh?

It only matters to racists, white supremacists and people with that type of mentality.

It's hard to believe so many people still have that mentality in the 21st. century. I wish we could just herd them to one place in this country (Death Valley), build a 100 foot wall around them and let them live in peace happiness and hate.

It didn't matter until Barry started race-baiting.

"politicians could use race-baiting to overcome a host of limitations" BHO in his book "dreams"

That is why everytime he is down in the polls or lost a big state he made his disgusting comments. That is why he just said this past weekend "I am black and inexperienced and the Republicans will use that to scare people"
