70% of children born without a father in the home?
Actually, that is 70% born out of wedlock. And you have to consider what percentage of the couples who give birth to children out of wedlock get married. And even if it is getting addressed, nothing gets done if no one listens. Out of wedlock births have gone up for everyone since the 1970s Whites included.

Yes, actually they did. College graduates with Bachelors degrees voted for Romney while those with masters I believe leaned towards Obama more. If you go by sheer numbers of those with college degrees they leaned towards Romney heavily. Obama won the high school drop out vote.

Everyone knows that the majority of blacks will vote democrat no matter what so why would a politician work for them, they are in the bag. At voting time democrats promised the world and didn't deliver.

Show me statistical evidence of such. If not, then I can only count such a statement as fallacious.

I notice there are those who are so good at telling Black people why they shouldn't vote Democrat. However, the issue is not about voting Democrat, but having lack of trust in Republicans. And whose business is it who anyone votes for?

I don't really care what you count anything as but here you go.

President Exit Polls - Election 2012 - NYTimes.com

People with college degrees leaned towards Romney while people with post grad degrees leaned to Obama. there are a LOT more voters out there with college degrees than post grad degrees so the numbers are pretty clear.

Democrat President Lyndon Johnson Explains How His Phony ‘War On Poverty’ Is Really A Slavemaster’s Con: ‘I’ll Have Those N***** Voting Democratic For The Next 200 Years’

Johnson’s and Obama’s “wars on poverty” are frauds to keep people poor and dependent on the federal government. By keeping blacks dependent on them, the Democrats “own” blacks, and keep them doing their bidding, their work. This, my friends, is the modern face of slavery, slavery being something the Democrat party has always owned and has no intention of giving up.

Demographics of How Groups Voted in the 2012 Presidential Election

Seems you both might be kind of right.

College graduates voted 51% to 47% Romney over Obama. While PostGraduate study (does not say graduated or not) voted 55% to 42% Obama over Romney. Some College (means I assume that they attended college but did not graduate or are in the process of graduating?) was almost identical at 49/48.

Black people everwhelmingly voted for Obama over Romney.

Some College: 49 Obama, 48 Romney
College Grad: 47 Obama, 51 Romney( 29% of the vote)
Post Grad: 55 Obama, 42 Romney (18% of the vote)

Obama voters with college degree = 23.53% of the vote
Romney voters with college degree =22.35% of the vote

More college degrees voted for Obama than Romney.

You can vote for whoever you want, just don't get upset when people point out that your reasons for voting for a certain candidate are ignorant. It's clear that a large number of black voters voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 for no other reason than his skin color, if you don't agree with that being utterly stupid then you belong right there with them.
