But why is it sad that 90% of African Americans are voting for him?

Whites are not voting for him because he's black.

Blacks are voting for him because he's black.


That's SAD

This may be the reason for some, but not for all, don't you think?

So you believe that 90% of black Americans are voting for him just because he is black? Might there be some other reasons?

God bless.

Hmmm..you're right

ummm let's see

Obama has at least 5 years in the US Senate, and has passed major bills, he has helped clean up his district in IL, he has traveled to South America and Mexico, he knows how to balance at least a million dollar budget, his VP said Obama has all the experience that the POTUS needs and also says we dont need someone like McCain to do 'on the job training', Obama has great economic plans that he knows will work because he tried it out in Illinois, etc.

Wow you have convinced me. The percentage is now over 95%.

BTW did I mention that he's a great speaker?

Evidently, many - including both black and white Americans believe that he is the better candidate, (including Republicans) and I don't believe that it is because of his race. considering the results of the last 8 years and the support of the opponent for this administration's economic policies, for example. God bless.

The impression is a lot of blacks are voting for Obama because Obama is black (actually a “white-and-black” guy) and not because he is a democrat.
Then what explains similar black overwhelming support for Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry? What do these three white guys and Obama have in common? Perhaps they are all Democrats and best candidates in their times?
