I'm on yahoo playing a game and some person is ranting and raving about killing black people and their babies by dragging them behind their truck, hanging them from a tree or beating a baby in the head with a baseball bat. I don't understand how someone can talk like this no matter what we all have to live on this earth together. Plus Obama is not black he is biracial no matter what everyone thinks his mother is white his dad is black biracial to me.

I do not think it is okay for someone to vote for someone because of the color of their skin, just like I do not think it is okay for someone NOT to vote for someone because of the color of their skin. This presidential race has become totally out of control. So what, that one of the candidates is not the so called norm to be running for president. Where is it written that you have to be white in order to run this country, which consists of all types of people. I am so sick of the hateful remarks made on both sides. How can we as a country fully pull together as one, when there is so much emphasis put on the ethicity of one of the candidates. I do not understand why, if someone is against Obama, they think that they are justified in harming black people. All I can say is when will it end. What ever happened to 'ONE NATION UNDER GOD" Too many people are trying to divide this country. It is not right, when a white person win the presidency, black people did not go around killing white babies, so why, just because a biracial person is running there has to be such threats?

Its sad and is also sad when a person with special needs wants to vote and as he said " I voted for the black guy" They are trying to say he doesn't know what he is talking about he can't vote. He lives in a home with others who are trying to live as normal as possible

That is so wrong!! Those people have every right to vote. It is their benefits that will be affected before the rest of us. They should leave them alone.

There is no way that I would play a game with someone ranting like that. Report him. It is wrong for anyone to be talking like that let alone doing it. I don't know why people think one is any better than the other.

of course its "ok"! if the candidate is the one you think is good for the country, then that is who you vote for. doesnt matter if he is black, white, polka dotted or striped yellow and green with orange flowers..if he/she is a good choice for the Presidency..then thats who you vote for. i sincerely hope that you reported that ignorant hate monger to yahoo! its ppl like that, that society as a whole can surely do without! im telling you ppl..we need to cull the herd LOL!

That's disgusting, and yahoo users need to use that report abuse button. This is NOT the feeling of the majority of the country, or the majority of white people, and it shouldn't be tolerated. But report it, just in case it is someone capable of actually following thru. Yahoo users should also not answer him at all. No arguing, no trying to convince. Don't even acknowledge the person.

This is what alot of persons tends to forget that Obama is half white and half black. That he was brought up in a home of white people and still he has the humility that does not even reflect these. Why should one look at the skin of a person. Is it o.k. that the black persons can be singers, rappers, track and field stars, basketballers etc but to become the President it is not o.k. A black person can represent the country at the highest level in the various sports but not as a President. Blacks has been making the country of America proud and I think that persons should stop looking at the skin but look at the heart because this is what matters most.
