St. Louis County, MO 2012 Primary Election Poll Precincts 1903-NOR3 & 2721-UNV21 were both held in the Pine Lawn City Hall. All of the voters were black. 206 ballots were cast & all of them voted on a democrat ballot & none of them voted republican.

1903 NOR3 - 93 Ballots Cast - 93 Democratic - 0 Republican - 0 Libertarian - 0 Constitution - 0 NonPartisan

2721 UNV21 - 113 Ballots Cast - 113 Democratic - 0 Republican - 0 Libertarian - 0 Constitution - 0 NonPartisan

The vote went the exact same way as their masters voting slips told them to vote. They all filed in like sheep with the slip of paper below & voted as it instructed. No thinking involved at all. They vote like the sheep they are.

Did you obtain these documents or someone else in the Re/Pub/I/Can't Party (?) Fox News does the very same thing with Re/Pub/I/Can't voters by telling them what issues to vote down and what issues to vote up!!!

If Republicans are truly concerned about 93% of the Black vote going to President Obama, or to Democrats generally, maybe the Republican party should come up with a strategy that appeals to middle class Blacks. Mitt Romney has appeal to suburban Whites. Why not do the same for Blacks?

Racism exist in each and every racial group , but let's determine which racial group has the least amount of ingrained racism inside of theirs set racial group , and it has to be the " Black African American " hands down.

My view is this. You are right, racism is in every group. And with African-Americans, it has been ingrained the least, with one thing to consider. African-Americans can have very racist opinions of others. What makes the difference is power. African-Americans, historically, have never had the political power to make it stick or to have an impact on society.

I can't say for everybody because there is quite a bunch of Black Republicans, but a couple of weeks (or months) ago I watched a segment with a well educated Black Republican.
she grew up with white parents and one thing that struck me is how she talked about how she made it all by herself with nobody's help whatsoever. it's interesting to see how she could afford believing such myth of total meritocracy.

It is like I said before. 93% of Blacks voting for President Obama is no surprise. He is a Democrat. Kerry and Gore also. People need to ask "Why does a large portion of the minority population vote Democrat"? What is it about Democrats? If Republicans really want to win, then they need to change their current strategy.

I'm sorry, what does that mean?
do you know me?
Have you read a single one of my other posts in this thread or anywhere on C-D?
or should I take that as a typical, reactionary quip -
"someone is calling me out - he must be (insert political/racial/both stereotype)."
