White people are the only racial group to cross over to vote in substantial numbers for a non-White person. Blacks do not. Hispanics do not.

Very true. Blacks and hispanics have a long history of only voting for the non-white Presidential candidate.

Would half of those blacks have voted for Herman Cain?

I see no mention of the 73% of Asians that voted for a non-White person this time around.


I think it is funny considering that facts: The only time there has been a non-white candidate for president(from a major party): 2008 and 2012. That is two times. Whooooo!

Now think about the "qualified" opponents of his. Shouldn't you be more concerned that?

Another ridiculous thread.

I notice your weren't complaining when Black Americans voted overwhelmingly for:

John F. Kennedy

Lydon Johnson

Hubert Humphrey

George McGovern

Jimmy Carter

Walter Mondale

Micheal Dukkakas

Bill Clinton

or John Kerry

The bottom line is since the Civil Rights Movement the Democrat Party has been at the forefront of protecting the civil rights and expanding economic opportunity for Black Americans. As long as that's the case they will have the support of significant number of Black Americans.

In the meantime the Republican Party has been at the forefront of attempting to restrict economic and political opportunities for for Black Americans and appealing to bigotry among White Americans to form the basis of their nation political strategy.

If you are an American that believes that all Americans should have equal rights and no American should be denied rights or opportunity based on race, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation then you are likely to support the Democratic Party.

If you are an American that beliefs that at its' heart that America is a White Christian country and all other people should take one step back and that White males should be the dominant political, social and economic group in America then chances are you support the Republican Party.

At the end of the day this is way politics in present day America boils down to.

That is because that non-White person didn't operate on a platform villifying diversity.
