90% of black people voted for Obama with less than 10% going to Hillary and Edwards in the primary. If it smells like sh** it is probably is. Racism, loud and clear, proven by the collective actions of a group.

Then if this IS the case, as you say, then why are you trying to make the claim that 95% of black voters voted for Obama in the primary and that is why Hillary lost?

Using the arguement you just posted, then it shouldn't matter how many blacks voted for Obama.

Again, we are still waiting for the proof that 95% of registered black voters voted for Obama in the primary.

So basically you are a disgruntled Hillary voter, so instead of accepting a defeat you want to call another voter and your party candidate "sh*t"? Wow...so in other words you are voting against Obama becuase he IS black.

So in previous elections when the majority of blacks favored Democrats, they were discriminating against the R next to the candidate's name.

Your logic is so full of holes. You can't definitively show that blacks are voting for Obama solely because he is part black. Some people may be voting for him because he used to live in Hawaii, and they did to. Some people may be voting for him because he has a multi-cultural background, and they do to. Some people may be voting for him because of his position on gay civil unions, or his position on abortion, or because of his health plan or because of his tax plans. And Some of those people voting for all these diverse reasons may be black, and his race isn't an important factor.

Bottom line, you don't know why anyone in the voter's booth votes the way they do. Even if they give you a reason when they are leaving the polls, that reason may not be true, may not be a complete answer, may even be misleading because they don't even have to tell you how they voted.

Nothing will change your mind about this. I understand that. But I hope that others will realize that labeling all blacks as racist isn't productive of anything. Most all of us are a bundle of prejudices, and race is only one of them.

Your logic is basically, "Well they do it, so it's okay for me to do it".

Couple that with systematic bias against African-Americans for the entirety of the history of the United States, and your argument is moot, my friend. Blacks voting because of color is an entirely different thing than white voting because of color.
That is racist itself. If oyu really believe that then you are in trouble.

It is not my fault there are no role models, why not? It surely is not the fault of whites. Its not my fault none of them have rose to the occasion.

Sorry to tell you this but Obama is not a role model for anyone. He is a puppet for the Chic town machine and did not do anything special to deserve your honor or trust. I would not ever pick him as a role model. To many piles of dirt in his life. Black kids need to find a role model that has actually accomplished something in their life and on their own, not being a puppet for a machine like Obama is.

What happened in the past has nothing to do with today or our future, none of us alive today did anything wrong to anyone.

Get over it, it is the most racist thing to cast an important vote based solely on color.

It is not different and for you to even say that just tells me that your value has just dropped to an all time low.

Talk about being racist!

Oh wait.
Clinton recieved a mere 3% of the Black vote in the primaries. How do you justify that one, bud?
