I'm not going to lump all blacks into the same group.
The people who voted for 0bama will do what they always do, vote for the next empty suit who promises them the most free stuff, and promises to punish "the rich".
really, wont say that for those who voted for tree branches huh twice
I ask this not to stir the racial pot but from comments I have had with blacks here in Atlanta. With such a large black population, possibly the biggest in the country now, you can get a pretty good cross section of what blacks think on most issues. Radio, TV programs, etc. along with casual conversations I have had dont paint a pretty picture. The responses vary from the mild to the extreme but those extreme views are truly frightening.
Black Americans somehow happened to survive and many have thrived without a Black American President for aboiut 220 years .
Quit drikning the fear and igornance Kool-Aid it makes you sound like a damn idiot.
I think not. As bad as Obama is, the GOP is still rudderless.
Should he lose, I suppose the there might be the same reaction as when David Dinkins failed to secure a second term as NYC Mayor. There was some rancor that he had done everything right, but it was not good enough and whites let their racism carry the day. There were two things wrong with that analysis. Firstly, Dinkins was a bad mayor. Secondly, whites had initially voted for him.
Whatever. If the GOP takes the House, then we will have divided government and that is really what most sensible Americans want. It may just forge enough compromise to help Obama secure a second term. And that term will be a saner one.
Then again, if he loses, whites will probably yammer the loudest while blacks will quickly see that the nation did indeed elect a black man which means there are more to come. The next black president, and there will be one, will hopefully be more experienced. Not to mention moderate.
I would agree with you that the Republicans need to put a better message together but the Democrats are in free fall and are expecting BIG loses this November.
So what makes you think that Obama wont suffer the same fate in 2012? There are NO signs that anything about this economy will be better by then. Even being rudderless the Republicans will easily defeat him simply because the voting populace would rather have a "bulldog" then the community organizer in chief. Obama is his own worse enemy!
96% of them voted for him, pretty hard not to lump them together with numbers like that.
Considering what John MicCain or the Republican Party had to offer Black Americans which was............................................... ....NOTHING there really no viable alternative.
I don't think John McCain even seriously made and effort to court Black American voters.
WTH...Black Americans, Asian Americans...blagh blah blah..
If you are an American, say it. Leave your race at the door. I don't care if you came out with polka dots and a purple head, if you are an America, then just say that!

So are you saying that in 04, 00, 96, 92, etc.. that blacks didnt vote for the Democrats over 90% of the time. Last I looked blacks were the Dem's most reliable voting bloc.
Those incidents have nothing to do with the presidency and whether Obama wins or loses in a future election.
Are you saying the election of Obama was a crime? Or, if he runs for a second term and does not get re-elected it will be equivalent to murder?
Nope, but none of the groups you mentioned in your earlier post, Dem's, Repub's, Jew's, have a history of rioting like blacks do. To deny thier reaction to events they dont agree with or are passionate about is laughable.
