If you'll notice, I've already said that it is their business.
I am entitled to my own opinion about it, and there's nothing you can do about that.
Just like you, I can generally say what I want within TOS guidelines.
You have that right. I also have a right to denounce what was said. There are those who will call Blacks "Uncle Toms" for voting Republican. When you call someone stupid for voting for President Obama, that is basically doing the same thing.
Blacks need to realize that black unemployment/poverty has more complicated causes than Obama can fix overnight. Too many black dropouts,too many black men with criminal records,the decline in manufacturing jobs,job discrimination and not enough black businesses all combined together is what's affecting higher black unemployment. These were problems in black America before Obama came and can't be fixed in 8 years.
Well, other groups could say the same about others. Fact is, people are going to look out for themselves, and there isn't anything you can do. If it that bothersome for you, I recommend doing something about it. Otherwise, no one's business but the person voting.
It is said about groups other than blacks. Women and Hispanics most prominently.
Your being thick-headed to insist that who blacks vote for as a demographic group is nobody's business.

Seems to me that it takes very little to be branded an "Uncle Tom"--and that is absolutely sad.
2008--we didn't really know what Obama is/was. By 2012, most SHOULD have known, but they apparently didn't.
It's just gotten a lot more glaringly apparent just what kind of a "leader" BHO is. And you're right. He still was re-elected. There are times when you really can't fix stupidity, and there is no accounting for blind loyalty.
I voted for Clinton when he first ran, but once I realized just what kind of president he was, I wised up--and wasn't about to make THAT mistake again. So some of us do learn. The fact that I was ticked off at Bush the elder translated to a vote for the other side.

Well, regardless of politics, there are some things I can agree on. Dropping out of school certain does not help matters at all. Decline in manufacturing jobs has certainly hurt. We don't even have to use Detroit for this example. Let us used Milwaukee. Blacks moved to Milwaukee mainly for the manufacturing jobs. When the manufacturing jobs started to decline, unemployment in the Black population shot up almost overnight. Blacks in Milwaukee had a higher percentage of its population in manufacturing jobs than most other cities, other than Detroit. Many started joining gangs, especially when the gangs from Chicago started going up to Milwaukee, finding plentiful recruits. Crime shot up, drugs, many bad things.
I also want to add this. Between Blacks and Whites, this is how it turning out. Blacks with high school diplomas have unemployment rates as high as Whites without a high school diploma, and Black without a high school diploma have it even worse than Whites with no high school diploma. Many factors to consider as to why. I know that a relatively low business ownership rate among African-Americans isn't helping, neither is discrimination, lack of skills, a variety of factors.

Actually, I'm tired of the complaining. If you don't have any forthright and lasting solutions, it does no good to complain. I actually said it is no ones business who anyone votes for. My vote is my business. I've seen so many threads constantly complaining about Blacks and their voting habits. Calling me thickheaded for calling it out, for denouncing it, all it shows is that you disagree with me, not you refuting my point.
I wouldn't say that. I would say some people just "make it their business" regarding who Blacks vote for out of anger.
