    thanks for posting this.

    racist ass country we live in, trying to tear apart the only reason for hope these days. what dooshbags, man. trying to spread fear that he's non patriotic, that's he's RACIST - ha!

    man, i hope he wins. it's the first time in my life that someone like me -- a kid of color who's parent(s) are from another country and he STILL managed to do good on this uneven playing field called America- is running, and has a chance to be president. if that's not change, i don't know what is.

    Here's a link to a moveon.org petition with a link to shocking video that compiles really dirty fox news stories about obama - trying to taint his name by associating him with mao, saddam hussein, and HITLER.

    Spread the word.

    Dantrification for Vice Prez!

    I am thrilled when a young white American male can stand up and tell the old status quo white America that the jig is up! Say it loud, Dan 'the Man'; you may be white, but you are all right, my brother. One love!

    Teach my man, Teach! Just tremendous! I'm very hopeful that this country is indeed changing. It's gonna take greater numbers of young, intelligent white folk speaking the unadulterated truth to the masses to create substantive change. Lord knows, when a black person says the exact same thing, it's received with indifference, if not downright hositility.

    Sometimes the truth hurts. Like an injection to cure disease. Get over it, accept who and what we are, make needed changes and move the heck on.
    What a breath of fresh air.
    Thanks a billion.

    Hey Spider,
    Black people did have their own thriving towns and businesses about a hundred years ago. Guess what? Your great grandpas snuck in--in the middle of the night--and burned them down and killed everyone they could find. Go educate yourself on the history, then maybe you'll be qualified to have an opinion--a lot shorter one I would hope.

    It's just amazing that in this Information Age there are so many uninformed, ill-informed, and just plain blinders-wearing people in this society. The sad truth is that many people will believe what they CHOOSE to believe, whether it makes any sense or not. The majority of white people have watched a few of you plunder the world over centuries, and you've played along with it, eagerly hoping that at some point they'd "cut you in." You've been slaves (yes), plebes, serfs, indentured, and now you're employees--and you still don't get it-- They're not about to cut you in! Get a grip.

    I think probably just ignoring the undereducated--which is what the most prolific of you are (glad to see that one of you admits it)--is the best bet.

    Dan is a brave soul. I wish him well.

    That's some powerful words laid on 600 years of instilled racism past down from grandparents to children.
    They said words are stronger than the sawed.
    Well, the Oil prices a day before the 2001 9-11, and the 3 to 4 times increases in price by 2008 9-11, has affected the entire U.S. economy under a U.S. President who family, relatives, and best friends been in the Oil Bussiness for over 50 years (where the price stayed below the economy.).
    In 2008, the price of oil has raised the price of everything but our annual salary.

    What Person going for President can lower the price of gas for my car back to 1.79 cents per gallon for Premium a day before the 2001 9-11??

    Funny, and maybe a little sad that most of the people that commented on this video had to create ghost accounts where their only activity has been a comment or two on this video. That in itself says something about talking about race in America. Most of those people felt the need to further remove themselves from their true identity just to feel free to say something good or bad.

    Obama is our great hope for socialism. What a joy. 1984 is a little late in coming, but now we finally have the government to look to for all our solutions. We have Obama to solve all of our problems. The leader! The leader!.... More like the road to serfdom. Look into it.
