HAHA Are you kidding me?

Obama was elected because it was going to the first black president to win the election as president. Some of the old folks who lived thru the 1940's Jim Crow were crying that they could witness a historical event.. (probably gave them some satisfaction that with all they went thru, finally they got someone to make up for all the unjustness that happened to them. so I can see their point.

Also others wanted this to happen too that were not black.

other blacks voted because its tradition to vote democratic, period. Not because anyone was qualified but that's what they do.

Oh FFS. Even the Brown family's attorney admitted it was him on the tape.

At this point, questioning basic facts such as whether it's him on the surveillance tape serves as a litmus test for whether someone values truth versus believing what they want to believe regardless of which direction the facts and evidence point.

Why did Whites vote for McCain and Mittens?

Many whites are so racist that they would rather vote for a white dude from a religion that they were calling an evil cult 30 years ago than cast a vote for a black man. A guy who implemented all of Obama's policies in MA when he was the governor. The funny thing is that if Obama was old and white and republican and did exactly everything the same, except maybe call the ACA "PatriotCare" he'd be hailed by the right as the greatest republican president since Ronald Reagan.

And a congressional district in Utah, a state that is nearly 90% white and only 2% black just elected a black woman to be their representative. Show me anywhere in the country where a 90% black district elects a white person.

generations ago, blacks chose political power as the road to success (with government spoils) somewhat understandably. Compare that to Asian-Americans, who have more or less solely focused on academic and private sector business success.

Which community is doing better?

And just a note...Obama is half-white, never had any black A,erican ancestor, was raised by his white family in the very non-black state of Hawaii. He chose to highlight his blackness cause he realized it was a benefit. Wonder why he married Michelle? Cause he understood that if he married a white woman, which he certainly could have chosen, he would neve have been able to use the black political establishment to get ahead. yes, I am that cynical . But boy did he use the South Side well.

One thing about racism is that racists always seem to find racism.

He is probably scared to tell.. prolly some of the bad guys warned him about the "snitches get stitches" policy.

That's not the point. I voted for the one who would do a better job, and I was right! look at the job this guy Obama is doing - CRAP!

Believe me, what I said was TRUE TRUE TRUE.
