"African-Americans For Obama"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/02/02/obama_announces_2012_launch_of_african-americans_for_obama.html


I got an email this afternoon telling me about this new Obama campaign tactic.
How is this ok in America today?
How is this not racist? What do you supposed would happen if Romney announced a “White Americans for Romney”?
He’d be crucified yet it’s perfectly acceptable for Obama?
Please explain to me why this is ok for a black president but no white in this country could ever do this?

Definition of RACE-BAITING. : the making of verbal attacks against members of a racial group.

Try to be smarter.

Now you can explain how Obama is being racist. Make sure to use terms you understand.

Any candidate would play any card that would bring them votes. How is this different to Romney saying "I like cars" while on a speech in Michigan?

Now I can only think of that ridiculous Kia commercial that played during the Super Bowl. (Seriously? I'm supposed to be that excited over a Kia?)

I am always excited about a Kia (http://ddstory.livejournal.com/). =)
