1. Voted Oct. 20

Both my husband and I cast our votes for Obama and hit the nail in the coffin of racism. Very powerful video, especially mixing the old with the new racist images. Brought it home.

4. I sometimes think people give them too much credibility. As a black person racism is pathetic>

to me they can't find a better reason to hate someone than color of skin. It's brain dead and they need to find more to do with their time, there are so many important things in life they need to prioritize if McCain is the next big thing they should prove it instead of pumping out brain dead garbage. The problems are so big and all their tiny minds can focus on is color I mean it's totally. WTF!!! They need to think twice that praying will get them through it didn't work so well the last 8 years. It's our efforts and our minds that will see us through this really.

5. Nice

I think when I go into vote I'm going to dedicate it to all the dead KKK mutherfuckers who ever hurt another person simply for the color of their skin.

I'll go into the booth...pull the lever for Barack Obama and simply state, "you lose" to the racists.

7. A powerful video.

It very solidly gets the point across.

We have to speak out against these atavistic assholes, because progress is NOT inevitable. Generation after generation worked against ignorant people just like the Monkey Man (and worse) for hundreds of years, starting when the morons were the vast majority. They opened minds and hearts, fought ignorance, and have forced the haters into a dwindling minority.

But the war's not won yet. To get rid of them completely, we can't allow this kind of hateful crap to stand unchallenged.

In a little less than two weeks, I get to help us take a small step in that direction with the most important vote of my lifetime. I'm so excited!
