Race has been an issue throughout american history and we all know that... you can say it has been "dealt with or handled"... yes there are laws and what not about discrimination... and diddy is right in that presidents need to do things for americans. black white yellow green purple gray... who cares about color... However, do i think it'll be perfect? honestly no.. everyone always has to have a problem with someone else. Diddy is right and things have to be done.. but not just for blacks. EVERYONE.. remember the little phrase "created equally"?

Now, understand, I'm neither advocating or denouncing his stance, but, it derives from the general feeling that 400+ years of being oppressed (those who have a different year-count are wlecome to their numbers, as I am to mine) should equate to some sort of tilt, to previde redress for 4+ centuries of said oppression. some feel the tilt needs to be slanted in the direction of those most egregiously affected; some feel the need is to UN-tilt the playing field FROM the direction of white, middle-class America.
You are ALL welcome to your own opinions about Sean Combs, his stance, Barrack Obama, and politics in general. I endevoured only to explain The gentelman in question's reason for saying what he said. MY position on this, and many, many other things, is a personal matter. I will tell what it is ONLY after you have swallowed a big, healthy load, so don't ask unless you do and will.

i think everyone is getting too hung up on the candidates attributes instead of their characteristics. So many women will vote for Hillary just cause she's a woman, and so many black people are gona vote for Obama cause he's black...honestly WHO THE F^CK CARES!
but here's the rub - as soon as we drop the hyphens - perhaps some day we'll be more equal. But if, say Rush Limbaugh said "Guiliani has my vote - because he'll help whites better." all hell would break loose.
Race should never be made an issue and I felt his comment uncalled for. I personally hope he makes it - only to shake up the status quo mostly. Will prove to be a very interesting 4 years indeed.
Well, I hope he doesn't make it. Not because he's black, but because he's against nuclear power and want ethanol from corn...the bloody worst choice for producing ethanol...not to mention he is barely experienced. Now don't get me started on any other canidate, becaue frankly beside Paul, I dont wan't top vote for any of them. However when/if it comes down to it, I'll have to see who'll I'll end up settling with[>:]
