As was stated LBJ got 94% of the black vote, since then the black vote has constantly been in the 80% + range to near 90. Kerry got 88-89% (depending on the exit poll) Gore 90-91%.

If one white disagrees with Obama ever, how is it racist? Now that the majority disagree and are called racist, how does that make any sense?

I wouldn't call it racist, IMO those who do are wrong.

Did not say that you would call it racist. What you would say is irrelevant to what the hotheads in each party call it.

I don't think so, however if you took it that way, its not what it meant.

Could you please rephrase that sentence to something understandable?

No one really has called someone a racist for simply disagreeing with Obama. Some of the arguments against him have been criticized as being racist, but not simply disagreeing with him.
