What is racist?

Okay, I could understand calling someone racist if he were to say, “I won’t vote for Obama because he is black!”

But isn’t it just as racist to say, “Hell yeah, I’m voting for Obama because he is black!”

There are folks in this report(Black conservatives conflicted on Obama campaign ) that seem ready and willing to give up their long held and widely professed beliefs in conservative policy to vote for Obama mainly because he is a black man. And that demeans them and their past beliefs.

And as for this:

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.

Just how does the Democrat Party reach out to really, really help the black community? By encouraging the breakup of the black family? By forcing the black child to attend substandard state run inner city schools? By denying many the right to protect themselves by abrogating the Second Amendment within the Democrat run cities like New Orleans, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington, D.C., etc.? By declaring the black man and woman second class and inferior by means of affirmative action? Just how does the Democrat Party reach out to the black community?
