Oh, of course. Because if whites vote for a white candidate, that's okay with you. But if blacks vote for a black candidate, that's racism. 91% of blacks went to Obama...how many people does that make, total? Does it even come close to 30% of the white vote? And if blacks only vote for black people, whatever happened to President Jesse Jackson?

What is it about black people voting for a black candidate that upsets you so much?

I said no such thing in this thread. You ara in left field. The fact is he won because blacks turned out for him. I did not say they were racist. Get a grip.
