I object to the basic premise of this thread, because if Obama was white and Hillary was a man, none of this would be an issue.

Voting for Obama because he is black is not racism. It is prejudicial, but it is not racism. Racism is about power, not just the act of prejudging.

If my emphasis as a voter was on education reform, and I cast my vote for someone with a strong platform on my ideals and only that, is that not prejudicial?

Shaming a black man or woman for voting for a black candidate is wrong because nobody shames white voters and white politicians when they ignore the facts.

Many women have been quoted in the media supporting Hillary because she's a woman.
Democrat Barack Obama expressed frustration Wednesday that racial issues keep rising to the top of his presidential battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton, but he said the great majority of voters will base their decisions on substantive issues.
At a news conference, Obama said he feels his primary victories in an array of states have proven he can draw support from all races and regions, and that he is not overly reliant on black voters.

So while I disagree with a black person voting for Obama strictly on his skin color, I do empathize in the fact that white men and women have been doing it since we could vote.

When a President Obama demands Congress pay reparations for the slave trade and human rights abuses against Blacks? Obama himself may not be inclined to, but his support base is frothing in the mouth at the prospects of "fighting back"!

Sure it is. Choosing a man over others due to the color of his skin is a definition of racism.

The subject matter of this thread is not racism, it is prejudice.
Fighting against Whites when there is NO fight in reality obviously incurs a reverse racism.
