Wonder if those same children know that 95% of all blacks are voting for Obama just because he is half black?

Now that is prejudice for sure.

Well said. But the world is suppose to turn a blind eye to that kind of bigotry. A black person's bigotry is suppose to be OK.

Blacks have had few role models in government in American history, so wouldn't they gravitate toward the first black candidate? Especially a candidate like Obama?

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.

Kerry and Gore both got about 90% of the black vote because they were black too.

Oh wait.

They only thing that counts is voting on principle. Anything else is BS- no matter what the color. Blacks are not excused from voting on principle.

Because that's what certain people feel...and they'll keep repeating it as long as they can since some gulliable people believe it.

There has been no proof that 95% of blacks voted for Obama...blacks have NEVER voted 95% for ANY black candidate.

Sorry, a poll in Mississippi siting that 90 % of blacks voted for Obama does not equate 90% of blacks nationwide.

As we all know espically here on CD facts are hardly used to make a point.I have posted here evidence that 90% of blacks vote Democratic...and have not voted in majority for the 4 other black candidates that ran for office.

At least 95% of all whites have been voting for white candidates in the past. What's your point?
