Armstrong Williams and Racism

If a person votes for a candidate solely because of the color of their skin what does that say about the person? Armstrong Williams brings up this issue when he states;

WASHINGTON (AP) — Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams has never voted for a Democrat for president. That could change this year with Barack Obama as the Democratic Party's nominee.
"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it," Williams said. "I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that's incredible."
Yeah, it is incredibly the level of ignorance in some people.
Even a politico I like, J.C. Watts, has bought into this line of thinking.
J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the Republican House leadership, said he is thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he is 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.
Watts is a fool on this topic. Reaches out to his community? Sounds more like building political power by misleading people and keeping them chained to entitlements.
At least Mike Steele is a rational guy.
Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.
"I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack's nomination are a little bit misguided," he said.

Just let some democrat white guy make this statement. "I am voting for Jmac because he is white, I don't like his ideas, but he is white."
