Judging from early voting, polls and primaries, black americans are voting for Obama in huge #'s.

Is it racist when whites vote for McCain? Some segment of every society will find a reason to yell 'racist' no matter who is running in which election. Someday we'll grow and evolve beyond that type of mindset.
African Americans typically vote Democrat, black OR white, 90% of the time.
You could say they were voting for Obama simply because he is black if, say Obama was the Republican candidate... but AA's (as per prior voting statistics) vote Democrat black OR white.
No because blacks are going to solidly vote for the democratic candidate regardless of race. I think blacks have a right to be more enthusiastic this time because an African-American is on the brink on making history. Thats what it is about for many, not that they are anti-white. Now if a black voter said im voting for Obama because I dont want to vote for a white person, then thats racist. But in general blacks voting for Obama is not racist.
yes it is racist. its affirmation that a black man can be president. you better believe they are voting for him in mass numbers.
Just like all those white West Virginians that are gonna vote for McCain.
