Can you imagine if I made a group "White people for Romney"? Isnt it unfair one group gets to come together like that and support a candidate, but another group isnt?

Exactly.

As usual, only white people are racist.

Everyone else can't possibly be racist, because they aren't white.

White people for romney, people would flip their sh*t

Well when one group is categorized in terms of the binary then, yes I think it's ok for them to do it.

White people can come forward and create such a group. Neither group is illegal. However if they attempt to exclude someone based on their race I'm not too sure of the legality. Quick google search also showed a facebook group that is indeed called White People for Romney, not quite the same but it's something.

I just want to be clear that I dont care if African Americans have their own group. I just think its hippocritical because if on Romneys offical websitehe had a white people section, it would cause the biggest outroar.

In 2008 maybe, now I'm not so sure. Black people typically vote democrat no matter what the candidate's skin color is anyway. That has more to do with it, it's not like black people came out in droves for Hermain Cain.

We do. It's called Hollywood and it's much better than BET. ;)

Candidate try to appeal to those who need the most catering and persuading. It has always been like that. Then again, I don't see a reason why there should be an "African-Americans for Obama" considering that 80% of blacks still like Obama.

I gotta agree with this. If it was Hermain Cain as the candidate, I doubt he would get much african american vote.

Herman Cain was a joke candidate. He didn't even seem to know basic current events, as evidenced by his inability to answer basic questions about Libya.
