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?

isn't that expected considering what the repub candidates have been saying about how black people don't know the value of work and only want handouts?

He's just saying, "I'm on your side," and I don't see a problem with it. Someone has to be.

I was referring to him "playing the race card" specifically btw
