These guys also ran for president.....




...and I don't know ONE single black person who even wanted to vote for them.
That's a pretty weak ass argument, dude. Maybe blacks voted for him because (and this is a shocker) they felt he was the best for the job. There are some blacks who did vote for Obama just because he was black (in the first election), but going up against a guy like Romney and all his foot-in-mouth comments during the election just pretty much gauranteed the black vote again.

Now, would it be fair for me to say that all MOROMONS voted for Romney just because of it? Hell no. Grow up.

Default Whites as well

100% of this White family also voted for President Obama because we could not vote for a man that destroyed companies and workers in his unending quest for more and more money for him and his cohorts at the expense of every and any one else.

I assume most Black voters also figured Romney would loot our country while making His friends ever wealthier. Smart people, Black and White, saw this and voted for Obama.

The GOP can keep denying they blew it big time with more than just Black people. They can regurgitate excuse after excuse, but it won't change the fact that Romney lost, and not just because Blacks and Hispanics turned out to vote.

Which makes me wonder, how many Blacks ever vote for whites in any race?
Since there are so many white elected officials, Democrats in particular there are far to many elections where whites received exceptionally high levels of African American support you will have to settle for just Presidential elections.




For anyone who is actually interested in the shift of African Americans from the Republican Party to the Democrats I suggest reading, How Blacks became Blue: The 1936 African
American Voting Shift From the Party of Lincoln to
the New Deal Coalition
by Daphney Daniel.

Thank you for demonstrating your utter ignorance, which by the way is totally unsurprising.

Yes symbols are, however I suspect, and I think that you would agree that given the identical nature of their policies that the tie was broken because Obama was African American. It would have been illogical and foolish to have done otherwise for the very reasons that you stated. Catholics and Irish Americans voted overwhelmingly for Kennedy, Italian Americans and Jews voted overwhelmingly for Fiorello LaGuardia. Electoral politics thrives on voting for candidates who voters can most closely identify with as long as those candidates align themselves with those voters aspirations and interests. It is a matter of common sense.

Yep .... the GOP needs to be asking itself why minorities don't vote for them. I would suggest that they start by getting rid of some of the underlying racism which is so evident in many of the anti-Obama posts on here.

The GOP will. never get clued in. a party that basically hates every one then turns around and is perplexed at why they didnt win and instead of accepting the reality of no one likes that party try to blame everything on the most lamest of excuses.

Yup again as I pointed out to desert the stats bare the fact out that Blacks by and large can't compete academically at least.

NAACP claims racial bias at city's top schools - New York Daily News
Here's one example:

Quote:
The city’s Specialized High Schools Admissions Test is the only method that is used to judge students for admission to the eight elite high schools.
The NAACP believes the grueling exam is unfair to black and Latino students because they are denied admission “at rates far higher than other racial groups.” Nearly 31% of white students and 35% of Asian students who take the test are offered seats at the top schools, compared with just 5% of black students and 6.7% of Latinos.
The NAACP doesn’t specify how the test discriminates against blacks and Latinos, but Kleinman said those students may lack tutoring and other resources. Education officials hit back against the NAACP’s complaint, arguing the test is color-blind.
Now the NAACP cites the failure of Blacks and Hispanics to pass an objective test as proof of racism. Yet doesn't specify how the test discriminates. It vaguely hints at tutoring access but the city provides free tutoring for these tests and take a wild guess who is disproportinately utilizing these services? Hint it ain't Blacks.

So the excuses mounts, standards are reduced because Blacks can't compete. Since many can't compete they look to the government to "make things right" hence the flimsy lawsuits and racism charges.

People also like to vote for winners, did any of these guys win the Iowa caucuses? Folks forget Obama did not have a majority of Black support before the Iowa caucus, it was only after he won Iowa that Black support shifted dramatically to him. Obama had to be validated by Whites first in order for Blacks to support him.

Here again is more evidence of the slave pathologies that run through the African American community. Political thought in the African American community is dependent on what White thought is on an issue.
