Is voting for somebody just because they are black ?

Question

as bad as voting for somebody just because they are a women?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

dude, you can vote for whoever with whatever reason you have. but I'd say yes....

Answer 3

Voting for anybody just because they are biologically a male or female is not very smart if they do not agree with you political ideals.  One should always vote for the candidate that best meets their own values.

Answer 4

nope. it doesn't matter really, it's just the essence of time. what i'm trying to say is, think of it this way. you appreciate the fact how the world is loving the blacks, after how martin luther king jur. changed things.

Answer 5

t*t for tat....get over it!

Answer 6

It depends on if you're a sexist or a racist then there's a double standard for both sides.  

Answer 7

Yes, just like voting for over two hundred years for a white man.

Answer 8

uhhh yes ..  

Answer 9

voting for anyone based on outward appearances is just wrong. if you are going to vote make sure it's becuase you believe what they are selling you, not because of what they look like

Answer 10

yes. both are wrong.

no, i said voting for someone JUST because they're either black or a women is bad. i didn't say palin is bad. i love her. you proved nothing.

Answer 11

can I vote for someone because they are married to a native american? Those people have been persecuted more than anyone black, white, man, woman, you name it.

And if she is a woman on top of that, well bonus!

  

Answer 12

Americans are too smart for that.

Vote for Democrats-- then you get a nice mixture of everything.

Answer 13

YES.

you have to vote for the person you think is INTELLIGENT !

its BAD because you are favoring a specific ethnic/s*x/group because of their PHYSICAL appearance, and NOT their BRAIN.

Answer 14

u bet it is and thats happening now with obama

Answer 15

Yes it is.

Answer 16

Yes. Whether you do or don't vote, their race/gender shouldn't be an influence.

Answer 17

well i guess it would be the same thing. Either to vote because of gender or race!

Answer 18

JUST because of race or gender?  Equally stupid.

But it is natural for things like that to be a factor in people's minds.

Answer 19

probebly yes.

Answer 20

Of Course....So is not voting for someone because they are black or a woman.

Answer 21

YES.

vote obama because of what he will do for america. no because hes black.

Answer 22

Yes. I don't really care if Obama was another ethnic race and McCain, uh no comment.

In my opinion, I supported Clinton because duh her husband was the president, she would know more about the field and the job than the other two candidates. I wouldn't care if she was a man. I think distinguishing someone with their gender or race is stupid.
