It was Friday evening and sometimes during commercials on MTV, they have an MTV News alert with John Norris or Sway. This time, Sway was at a college in South Carolina asking students who they were going to vote for in the Democratic Primary. Then, Sway would reveal how the student faired on a political quizz that is designed to match a person up with a candidate they had the most in common with.
Countless people, most black, said without hesitation that Obama was their candidate of course. But what was alarming was that most of these people were told that their quizz results showed they shared common interests with Senator Clinton.
One girl said when asked who she supported, "I support Edwards and Obama, but definitely not Hillary." When she was told her results, the quizz said she had a ton in common with Hillary. She proceeded to say, "Well, the other two say what they're going to do, she does not."
In my opinion, Hillary is the only democratic candidate who did say her plans. Obama runs on one word "Change." I mean, that sounds great to the ear, but this girl seems like she doesn't have a clue why she is supporting who she claims to be supporting.
Another thing that was interesting was that a black student outright answered "Well to be truthful, I am voting for Obama because he is black." This is not a misquote. Someone said that. Now, if I was to say on-air "Yes I am voting Hillary or Edwards because they're white and I am, too..." I would have Al Sharpton and the NAACP at my doorstep.
As an experiment, I IMed SlickayRicky15, who is black, and told him I was voting Hillary or Edwards because they're white like me. He replied, "You are racist then."
So are these blacks being racist? I mean, I get we have never had a black president, but it sounds like to me that this is affirmative action or reverse racism.

Hillary is more likely to get female votes than male votes.
Still, the voting for someone because they are black IS affirmative action and with a job like the executive branch contains... I wouldn't want that to be elected based on affirmative action.
Hillary got 42% of the women in South Carolina.
Obama got 81% of the black vote.
You can't even compare them.
People have a right to vote however they want for whatever reason they want to, but I agree that this is what tears our country down. It's like saying, "I'm not voting for McCain because he is fat" or "I'm voting for Barack cuz he is teh sex".
Im voting Hillary for her breasts.
They are perky as fuck :)
Marty can you please -.-
