79. So you are only supporting Obama because you think he is "owed" it just for being black?

I then don't personally see a big difference in electing a propertied, rich black man either. Is that what you're saying? Is that really a reason to vote for anyone anyway when so much in this country is at stake? BTW, isn't his mother a white woman? Are you then admitting by your own logic that his mother didn't struggle because she was white? And for your information, women of all races fighting for the right to vote were imprisoned, beaten, tortured, shot with water cannons, and have had to endure being the sex subjected to substandard conditions in every facet of society regardless of their marital status for far longer than any other group. That doesn't diminish the injustices suffered by others, it simply places into perspective what you misrepresented.
