Why are Latinos supporting Hillary?

I seriously didn't expect an adherent to "Barack's islamic past" on West Mall. I hope blackblet didn't go to UT.
 
all of you jumping on blackbelt? I just don't get it. He said he had some concerns about what he had heard about Obama and that he had tried to research and find out the truth. He didn't make a single negative comment about Obama, he just voiced his concerns about things he had heard and read about Obama. He never claimed that Obama had any type of radical Islamic background, but that he heard he had been exposed to it and that his two father figures were Muslim. I do believe that those statements are true. Does that mean that Obama is a Muslim? No, but blackbelt didn't state that it equated to Obama's faith either.
He seemed to have stated he wanted to see where Obama really stands on issues and not just his campaign rhetoric which is what one finds on ANY candidate's website. "Just go to his website and you will see where he stands" That is complete BS.
I guess it has now becoming completely unbecoming on WM to even ask questions about Obama's background and/or his political positions. blackbelt clearly wants to put some critical thinking into his choice for president, and while I feel that he and I might have grossly differing opinions on who we will vote for the way he has been attacked on this thread really pisses me off. I don't know blackbelt, and to be honest I don't recall reading any of his posts on WM besides the ones on this thread, so don't think I am sticking up for a 'buddy' or something. I just find some of the attacks against him and what he has said about Obama to be uncalled for.

BTW, I got that 'email' about Obama. I know that it contains several flat out lies. My mother in law sent it to me and I defended Obama against the lies that that email contains and told her to quit spreading it around. That is not because I like Obama, but because I don't think any candidate should have lies spread about them. blackbelt didn't spread lies he talked about making honest inquiries into him as a candidate.
 
I feel like that kid on "Welcome Back, Kotter". When the teacher asked a question he wanted to answer he would raise his hand high, wave it and go "Ooo, ooo, ooo".

I'll give you a hint. It's the same reason Mortimer Duke didn't want Billy Ray Valentine to run the family business.
 
this got off topic fast. i support obama and i'm hispanic if that matters

blackbelthorn:

I do think there is a grey area between perpetrating falsehoods and being "stuck" on someone's "JOCK". People are overreacting to you and you are overreacting right back. Chill out (and that goes for the rest of you).

That being said, here are some facts to ease your worried mind:
- At no point in his life was Barack Obama a Muslim (not that it should matter)
- At no point in his life was Barack Obama a student in a radical Muslim school

I don't know what other concern you might have, as those seem to be the two big ones.

That is not islamic past. That is exposure to Islam. By that standard, I would think most/all here have an Islamic past.
 
zzz:

Have you ever talked to a Muslim? Have you lived near one?

If your answer to either of these is "yes" then you have an "islamic past".
 
First of all Obama is half white. And he has more Asian connections than any presidential candidate in history. His sister, whom he helped raise, is half Asian. And she is married to a Chinese-Canadian.
