Black conservatives conflicted on Obama campaign

It seems as though our conservative African American friends are more racist than they are loyal to their own political ideaology.
“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.”
“Among black conservatives,” Williams said, “they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November.”
“J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s 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.”
“Likewise, retired Gen. Colin Powell, who became the country’s first black secretary of state under President George W. Bush, said both candidates are qualified and that he will not necessarily vote for the Republican.”
I guess it’s more about race than doing the right thing. Very sad. Just another thing that’s wrong with politics and our GOP leadership.
