Do you really know how African American Voted , and before you answer we make up 13.1% of the population ? And probably voted in all 50 States of these United States of America.
Sort of busy aren't you going from state to state and poll to poll to keep a good watch over the African American Population.
I only work one precinct per election & I always ask for the bad areas that have the most fraud. This last election every voter but 2 in my polling place was black. I do not hit all 50 states every election. I do know a lot of the ones who voted at my polling place would never tell an exit poller who they voted for. They got upset during the primary when I forced them to declare a party in order to give them a ballot.
So you're suggesting that it was a vote against the GOP rather than for Obama? Very possible. Still, why? I'm not surprised that Obama won, just that 93% of blacks voted for him. African Americans are suffering from this economy more than most. I'd have thought hat more than 1 in 15 would want a change -- any change.
Mittens doesn't offer the change that we need as a country.
Obama offers more to America as a whole.
As a Black man I see opportunity Black people can fix our own problems. Its not necessarily the president or white people.
Exit polls indicate that 93% of blacks voted for Obama. That's HUGE! If only 1 of 15 whites voted for Obama it would have been called extreme racial prejudice. Is that why the overwhelming majority of blacks back Obama? I'm not a racist by any means and don't want this thread to get out of hand, but 14-1 voting in a presidential election by any race is monumental.
The other main difference between the President and Gov. Romney was political ideology. Obama stands for those who want government to redistribute wealth and provide more goods and services to the electorate while Romney stood for those who want government to downsize. Romney basically campaigned as a JFK of 2012 -- "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Obama has turned that around.
So why the monumental landslide for Obama by African Americans? Race? Ideology? Something else?
i want my welfare okay? I have no kids and I'm a black man but I'm eligible for welfare becuase I'm black and I'm gonna get a new benz with this OBAMAMONEY!!!!!
Blacks, Hispanics and Asians ALL tend to vote heavily Democratic (and for President Obama).
The issue is not with the voters but you need to ask yourself why the GOP is so very repulsive to these voters. When you can honestly answer that question then the Republicans can possibly begin to earn those votes.
I love a thinking person. You could get a gig as a GOP consultant since they seem to be completely unable to figure this out for themselves. You hit the nail on the head!

I'm black, married, no kids... both of us have have college degrees too. I've heard about this free stuff... what is it and where can I get it?
I checked my mailbox the day after Obama won and it was empty, what's up with that?

Tell us how to do it please, since you seem to be the expert.

Th amount of racism being shown by the black community is incredible. No longer does the white community own racism.....blacks have shown themselves to be highly racist.

What the mainstream media of course is ignoring is the fact that comparing 2008 with 2012, Obama lost 10 million of his voters -- that's 10 million people who voted once for Obama but this year did not.
We all know that Obama picked up all that new Mexican and other illegal vote by promising them amnesty and dream acts and high paying jobs -- so if 3 million new voters voted for Obama, that's 13 million missing in action American voters.
Romney got 3 million fewer voters than did McCain - if that trend continues, the Republicans win in 2016.
What I suspect is that many black and white Americans just sat this one out -- between the two candidates 13 million voters were missing in action -- many more for Obama however.
If just a third of them would have voted for Romney the results would have been different.
