Well, you seem to be a staunch republican supporter and believe liberals are evil (I don't get this outright partison support-I usually just pick the guy I think will do the best job). I also see how much you like to point out so called Black leaders/ Black racists- Al Sharpton, Jesse,etc... you say you have great black neighbors, is it impossible to think that there are millions more like them in this country. I have voted republican in local elections here in GA but I also voted for Obama, does that make me a "mindless plantation slave" because I liked Obamas policies over McCain's. Some of your post just come off as insensitive and ignorant.
Hahaha!
95% of blacks who voted, voted for Obama. They did NOT vote for Obama because of Obama's policies and platforms. They voted for him because he's black. THAT is IGNORANT.
That being said, what has Obama - as President - done for blacks in America?
I think your time would be better served making excuses somewhere else. It doesn't take very long to get "on" to your game, and simply shut you off as irrelevant.
I haven't made a single "excuse" for African Americans in the four years that I've been on this forum. But I will challenge the racist post when they are raised. As for the problems that African American face, I don't believe in discussing family issues outside of the kitchen and this forum is definitely not my kitchen.
Prior to 1932 the majority of Black Americans were Republicans

Not that I have anything against Obama,but African Americans are more culturally closer to then(all are black americans,where Obama is half Kenyan,half white).
I know Obama will go down in history as the first black american president,but it would have been cool to have Condi as the first black american female.
I admit,I don't like Clarence Thomas. Sorry.
The Republican Party was the party of Abe Lincoln, aka, the Emancipator. Therefore, it was a given that Black Americans would vote Republican. It wasn't until FDR and the New Deal that Black Americans became core supporters of the Democratic Party. However, many remained faithful to the GOP until it, being the Republican Party, started to align itself with the Dixiecrats and other factions of States' Rights.

Oh you're one of those, you know there's a problem but you want to keep up appearances with whitey. How disingenuous.

Slightly incorrect, in the general they voted for him because he was a Democrat. In the primary they voted for him because he was Black.

Can you name any effort or initiative the John McCain used to appeal to Black American voters during the 2008 election campaign?
Did John McCain spend a substantial amount of time, effort, or resources appealing to the Black American votes during the 2008 election campaign?
It's REALLY ignorant to vote for a political party that at best ignores you or at worst tolerates amongst its supporters people who actively degrade and insult you (i.e. Rush Limbaugh amongst others) without speaking out against them.

Wow. Talk about a steaming load of BS.
I've read your posts. A lot of them. You're a race-baiter. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Roughly 50% of white voters voted for Obama.
95% of black voters (actually 95+%) voted for Obama.
Spin it any way you want to try to spin it. Blacks voted AS A BLOCK for Obama, because Obama is black. Period.
