Some Black Voters May Find Obama 'Too White' (Newsmax)
"A black candidate who's mainly advocating for civil rights these days is not going to go anywhere in a presidential election," Bositis said. "I think he (Obama) will get substantial support from blacks, but not all blacks. Some black voters are going to find him - what? Too white."
Obama, 45, does not fit the familiar mode of King's generation of black leaders. He is biracial - his white mother was from Kansas, his father Kenyan - and was educated at Ivy League universities.
I'm not planning on voting for the guy either, differing reasons of course; which include his worldview and stance on the issues. Blacks, essentially liberal blacks, just can't get past the issue of race in every decision they make.
