I appreciate Fred's comments, most of which, 
I think, I agree with. 
 
There are several parts to this discussion. Assuming 
HERE we are discussing this among people who 
do not call for a vote for Obama (I state this because 
I haven't read all the threads on this), then the most 
important aspect of this discussion is how to approach 
Obama *supporters* among the Black community.

^^^^^
CB: If I might respectfully disagree, the 
most important part of this is the _whites_ 
voting for Obama.  Black people voting for
 a Black candidate is to be expected, nothing new. 
What is new in this is the mass anti-racism of the 
whites voting for a Black person for President. 
That's points at an anti-racist majority
That is potentially radical. It is an 
expression of potential
 Black/White/Brown/Red/Yellow unity.

White communists should be analyzing and cultivating , 
elaborating  and propagandizing
 the consciousness of
 white voters for Obama, not so much 
analyzing the 
consciousness of Black voters for 
Obama, BAR, Ford et al.'
The latter gets white communists
 into a paternalistic trap ,
things  like
"BAR and Ford are making a necessary critique of
 Obama for
Black people ! Ugh !! White communists stay
 clear of that discussion.
