OK, I'm calling your bluff. Back up your big words with some evidence. Or else...

He (Obama) has done a great job selling to a lot of white people that he will make some changes, and a few have bought into it. But it is most certainly, the Black vote that will put him over the top this time. I know without any doubt, there are MORE Black people voting for Obama just because he's black, then there are White people that vote for McCain just because Obama is Black!
Prove it.

And the really sad thing is, not only have the majority of these Black Voters NEVER Voted... they have no idea, other than Obama is Black, why they will do it this time. After you listen to the interviews made in Harlem by Howard Sterns guy, that the majority of them cant even read! Oh, but thats the Republicans Fault we have so many Black people that cant read, right? That explains why they (the Blacks) will buy into this crap, and the only excuse for the white people that believe it, is that they believe everything Hollywood tells them and aren't capable of thinking for themselves! Obama will probably win, but you idiots will be very ashamed of your choice, trust me. by the way, before you start, I'm not a republican, I didn't Vote for Bush, I believe you Vote for the man that has earned this privilege, Obama hasn't even come close! McCain is, and has been serving this country his entire life, Obama served this country for less than a few hundred days and decided he's run for President, he's nothing but a professional liar!

You're full of sour brown stuff.

Gee, was I speaking about you? How could you tell?

BTW, the idea that if you're African-American you can't be a racist is, itself, racist ... but thanks for trying.

This wont be the first guy elected for the wrong reason, but it will be the most devastating to this country!
My post was talking about the African Americans who did vote, of these the overwhelming majority vote Democrat.

i dont think being stupid consists of not voting for obama. The thing that is stupid is voting for him with not enough knowledge of who the f*** he is. Also with a wife that wrote herself that when she had the authority she would help the black community. Ive been at work for 2 hours now and not on person has said anything about the election, guarenteed over 80% at my job voted for him, why because hes black. Wonder why this year older blacks that have never voted before in their life all of a sudden decided to vote. Why this year in 2008 was the biggest turn out for black voters. Its not stupid, its a given. They would have voted for any black guy that was running.....i dont care if anyone else says different.

African Americans voted for obama because he is black. They failed to check his background, years of service, accomplishments, or his stand on the issues. They did not check anything. Just voted with there emotions. The election was rigged by Obama. Acorn... He paid for all those false ballots. I demand a recount. I also demand he show his birth certificate and any other records he has. People we need to start getting more involved in Government on all levels. Start taking courses on how Government works and why it works. Attend city council meetings, and other publicly held meetings available to you. We must stop the corruption and abuse of power. As "One Nation Under God With Liberty And Justice For All" we can make a difference. Obama is not ready to be President. The African American community will be the first to suffer. Then he will go after the wealthy, then the middle class. Get involved today. My father always read the paper in the evenings to keep up-to-date on the news. We were taught to read, write, and understand how the world works. Many of my family members are doctors, lawyers, teachers, administrators, professors, and i will attain to be a Business Manager. It is ashamed how African Americans are not teaching their children to speak properly. There are other things African Americans are not teaching their children. Too many to name. African Americans teach your children more than, black pride, and how to fight. Teach them respect, dignity, manners, speech, the history of American and how it works. We are still behind the times.

Over 60% of African Americans are collecting some type of Government benefit in America. It is sad but true.

Heres a good ?...If 90 percent of blacks vote democrat, why does the deep south (more blacks than whites) always go republican?
There are a lot of blacks in the South, but they are clearly the minority in every Southern state. Many of them moved to large Northern cities (Chicago, detroit, etc.) in the 1930's and 40's.

Everyone I heard was voting for him based on color. They couldn't tell me one good reason to vote for him, other than they were excited about the possibility of a black president.

Did you pull that number out of thin air or some lower part of your anatomy?

Was there one good reason for an African American to vote for McCain?
