Second, where's your source? Because I doubt you are giving accurate information.

Third, even if you were, that's not indicative of racism. Is it really surprising to you that 90% of blacks might believe that a black man would represent their interests better? Racism would be indicated if blacks did not vote for whites in the past, but only voted for Obama because he was black. But, as I said, blacks have a long history of voting for white Democratic candidates in the range of 90-95%.

You are not very good at presenting your case.

STOP with the immature, personal attacks. You have a history of that on this forum.

Back to the topic at hand:

90 to 95 percent of blacks voting FOR the black Democratic candidate over the white Democratic candidate Hillary, IS racism. Most black people voted based strictly on skin color. That is the very essence of racism.

its known fact that code words from southerners have been used to replace the N word in politics

You start out in 1954 by saying, "******, ******, ******." By 1968 you can't say "******"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "******, ******.

Explain how 90 to 95 percent of black people voting for Obama (black) and against Hillary (white) is a not racism? How is it a crock? Would it have been racism if 90 to 95 percent of white people voted for Hillary?

Black is a colour, not a nationality.

But I'm not defending Obama.

I personally found after McCain picked Palin that there were NO good runners in the election.

Had he picked Huckabee I'd have been much more pleased... Or better yet, had Huckabee been the runner

I don't suppose anyone voted for President Obama because he campaigned on trust, and ending war, or any of the other things some people call promise. I don't suppose people, white or black were absolutely fed up with the lying BS of the republican party, no, couldn't be! (sarcastic )
For someone to think, that for once a black American could be president, and that black Americans could go out and vote for someone they finally felt comfortable with after 200+ years of white people leading the nation, is racism? holy crap, you have a strange way of analyzing. I do believe there are black Americans who associate themselves as republicans, but what have republicans ever done for black Americans? not much. And, I don't suppose you know why black Americans vote democrat time after time either. I'll bet that is a mystery to you as well.

You explain it, you've dug a hole for yourself.

Did you bother to read my post? I asked about Obama vs Hillary in the primary. I said nothing about Dem vs Repub in the general election.

Again, you avoided the talking point. Why did 90 to 95 percent of black Americans vote for Obama over Hillary in the primary? A black man over a white lady? Hillary was just as qualified, if not more. White voters were split in the primary between Hillary and Obama, but black voters voted in lock step, 90 to 95 percent for Obama. That can lead to only one conclusion, skin color motivated the black vote. This is the epitome of racism.

So what, 66% of hispanics voted for Obama, a larger number than ever before, what would you call that? more racism?
Breakdown of demographics reveals how black voters swept Obama into White House | Mail Online

43% of whites voted for Obama, is that racism?

You're on a slippery slope pal. And, I feel I have answered your (spanish) inquisition accurately.
You say racism played a part in the last election, I say not.

There is a reason for that, come on, what is it if its not that him not being full white does something to the palin crowd. I never heard any one say "give me my country back" when President Clinton was in office. Stop complaining and just tell the truth say what you want to say. We already know how conservatives feel anyway. So just let it out
So all the times in my life that I have been asked to produce my birth certificate I was actually being victimized by racist thugs?
What a shining star of intellect you are!
