well i have been thinking this for a long time that MR.BaRAK OBAMA was easily able to win the presidential elections but do u think that it had anything to do with him being a black i mean he is a great man and a hero America desperatly needs so he was to be a winner but why put all the black white thing in such a importance

Barak Obama didn't win because he is a great man or hero, he's yet to prove either of those things yet. He won because of a combination of factors:
1) Change. He promised Americans a change from the "Good Ol' Boy" system Bush jr. and Cheney were milking during the Afghan and Iraq wars.
2) Not Republican. Americans felt the country was really going under while the Republicans were in charge, using the ever pending threat of terrorism and patriotism to have carte blanche run of our Laws, Military, and Money Market.
and
3) Barak Obama brought hope for the disenfranchised African Americans who felt they were never truly represented by their government.

no mandeep i agree that to some extent he won because the whole black hip hop and rap community supported him . but u should not forget that white also supported him because he is a man with great credentials and great vision and all white people are not racist there are only a few of them which have spoiled the image of white people amongst afro americans
