I hear white folks complain about how over 90% of blacks voted for Obama. They seem to be upset with blacks voting for Obama.
The question I always ask( that does not get answered) is, whom should have blacks voted for, if not Obama and why?
IT leads me to think that many whites just don't want blacks to "look out" for each other, you know, the way whites have been doing for years.
Trust my word, when we have our first Hispanic President, the outcome will be the same for Hispanics. Rightfully so.
Blacks should have voted for whoever they felt represented their interests better. Is it really that difficult of a question to answer? Or is this a bait and switch question designed to solicit a certain response so you, Ron., can pull an "a-ha!" out of your arse?
Studies show that 90% of blacks voted for Gore in 2000. 92% for Humphrey in 1968. At least at the Presidential level, Democrats seem to have a lock on the black vote.
I am only half white but the problem is that many blacks segregate themselves , have radio stations , cable channels , foundations and even special laws that say if you notice and speak of the fact that someone is black while committing a crime you get an added penalty .
If you want to be treated fairly this is not the way to do it .
If you judge your political leaders by the color of their skin , it will be hard to judge you by the content of your character .

Every race wants to be represented at "the top".
So white folks can YOU answer my question?
Why in the PRIMARY, did 90% of blacks vote for Obama over Hillary? Hillary was just as qualified, if not more. Nothing better than voting based on skin color....right?
Yeh, they voted for Obama because he is liberal, no surprise. It would have been the same even if he were not 50% black.
But why in the Democratic primary.....between two liberals......did blacks overwhelimingly choose Obama over Hillary???? Looks like a skin color vote to most.
Basically I understand why they do like many others;addicted to free stuff promises .
