kat:I guess we have known each other for seven or eight years and we have traded remarks often during that time. To call me a racist is insulting. If you think I am, then you weren't much of a friend anyway. If Colin Powell took into account that Obama is African-American when he decided to support him, I wouldn't blame him, and I wouldn't consider him racist. He says he didn't and I accept him at his word. His reasoning for selecting an ill-equipped, inexperienced but admittedly talented communicator to support as President and Commander-in-chief, over a proven and experienced person like John McCain, though, makes no sense at all to me.

If you think that is racist, so be it.
