Classic case of people being willfully ignorant to understand the world around them. It's a lot easier to call people lazy, stupid, gullible, and racist than it is to actually take the time to comprehend their motives. And people are much quicker to see a large number of black people do something and label it a trend than they are to see a large number of white people do something and label that a trend. It's exasperating.

just ignore it. the ones criticizing on here have no influence or power. wasting time going back and forth is pointless.
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.
After almost 5 years? Where's the change? Still not better off? Suck a con job and YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
Blacks suffer the worst no matter what kind of economy it is. This has been true no matter if there was a Republican President or a Democratic President.
African-Americans vote for white candidates all the time. And they always have, at every level of government. If for no other reason, they have voted for white candidates because no black candidates were running!
Whites, however, have historically never voted for black candidates in large number before Obama. Why, then, are you interrogating black people's voting habits instead of white people's?
Because it is easy to blame the American Step-Children (black people) rather than look at their own people for their own mistakes. Even if every black in this country voted for Obama he would still not have won without the white vote, but yet the few ignorant people blame black people for electing him and again re-electing him. The funny thing about this is that after 8 years of Bush, no one heard blacks blaming white people for that excuse of a president. Which brings to mind, if he had not screwed up so badly in the first place this country would not have been desparate enough to let a blackman be elected.
No, ignorant voters who want something for nothing are why Romney lost the race.
This ^^^ statement is the epitome of ignorance. You can't even acknowledge that Romney had and made some fatal flaws. Do you not have enough intelligence to even examine what your party might have done wrong and could do better in the future?
It is the meme of the typical 'low information' voter that simply parrots what they heard on Fox Noise and fails to examine in depth the mistakes and missteps that were made.
I DO hope you and all the sheeple continue in this vein, however, because it will cost you another national election.
The wealthy and educated voted for Obama too. What did they want for nothing? Obama Wins 8 of the Nation
And yet, everyone is blaming the election on "welfare-having Blacks". No one considers that many middle class people(of all races) and non-Black persons voted for President Obama.
The complaining about Blacks voted for President Obama, well, this is what I see. No one can go after the wealthy, so those who are very unhappy go after the ones who are considered the lowest on the totem pole. In this case, Blacks are considered lowest on the totem pole. And there are those out there who consider Blacks useless, who feel that the world would be better off without them. Sadly, this is why some people complain about Blacks. They do so because deep down, they either
1) Don't want Blacks around
2) Find it easier to take their anger out on Blacks than other groups(aka class warfare).
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?
Sounds to me like they knew the republican party didn't want them. Big opportunity for a GOP outreach program here.
No, ignorant voters who want something for nothing are why Romney lost the race.
Well I don't want anything for nothing and I did not vote for that beady-eyed clown.
