Is It Really Racist For The Black Vote To Be Going To Obama?

(check voter demographics near bottom)
Clinton 83% to Bush 10% in 1992…84% Clinton to 12% Dole in 1996
I can’t find demographic breakdown for 2000; all articles seem to focus on the Florida fiasco.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat…

88% of black vote went to John Kerry; 11% went to Bush.
Based on this info, it would suggest to me that black voters just seem to go Democrat anyway; basically meaning if Obama had been fully white (said only because I know that half-black attack is coming) he would probably still have taken a sizable chunk of the black vote. At least in the 80% and above range.
I have no doubt that some are voting for him solely on his being black. But overall it would seem to me that majority are going to him because he’s Democrat.
Over the past 30 years the Black vote has gone overwhelmingly for the Democrats. Most Blacks register as Democrats. The Republicans have done precious little to woo Black votes. That’s according to some of their own leading Black party members!http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080614/ap_o…
There are like 40 times as many Black elected officials who are Democrat than Republican…
Democrats represent a true reflection of race in America… we have more Asians, Latinos, Blacks, Women, Jews, and Gays than the GOP does…
The Straight White Christian Male is fastly becoming the smallest minority in America because of the GOP’s refusal to be inclusive.
When minorities band together, they make a majority.
1. Voting Patterns in Indiana prove that At least 92% of African -Americans Voted for Obama what I can’t prove yet is if skin color determined their decision, I do know it was a factor with some based only on some of the responses from the street. I am applying this statement to Indiana Residents only. All rural counties went for Hillary, Obama only took two suburban counties. as well as 4 urban counties.
well i have surveyed some people and yes black people are gonna vote for him because he is black. and some white democrats aren’t voting for him because he is black. so it will even out. not only are black people getting obama’s vote a lot of my white college friends voted for him on super tuesday.
Yeah, but that’s what the DNC counted on. It’s the only way they could split the women’s vote and get black women to vote against a civil rights champion like Hillary Clinton. Voters are drones in the DNC’s games. Obama is a wimp and will do anything the DNC says now.
if it were in the presidential election itself, Republican vs. Democrat I’ll say no… but when its that way even in the primaries (Democrat candidates against Democrat candidates) I’d say something appears extremely wrong
don’t bother the republicans are going to rattle their cages, reality has a liberal bias so they stay from that, logic well they don’t use logic.
It’s only racist if they are voting for him because he’s black instead of for his platform. We can’t prove they are voting based on race, so, no…I don’t think it’s racist.
I believe it is because the Democrats promise more entitlement programs and major increases in welfare and they don’t give a damn who has to pay for it..
Mostly black people vote democrat in the first place… maybe the 3% that went from being republican to democrat for the primaries are racist.. but the rest of them, no.
Blacks will vote for him just because he’s Black
Just like they still think OJ is Innocent
They would vote for OJ if he was running
no….just biasness…
Will it be racist when 65 percent of the white vote goes for McCain? That’s all he will need.
No more than it is racist for the “pink” vote to go to McCain.
no
There you go man …you answered your own question.
i dont care if obama is black or white or purple or green, i will be d*mned if we elect another republican (or at least another liar)! but people will surely vote for him just because he is (half) black, just as a bunch of thoughtless women would have voted for hilary only for the fact she is a woman, and wealthy white men will vote for mccain to benefit them as they did with bush. btw did anyone watch Recount yet? also check out Hacking Democracy and the Zeitgeist movie.
Frankly I don’t get it.
What are the Democrat principles to which you refer? Most of the Democrats I see are ultra-rich and simply see minorities and other groups as things they need to “take care of”, almost like pets. There’s no emphasis on becoming independent, and it’s always like a dependence factory (which makes sense, since that keeps the Democrat business going).
I think minorities do themselves a disservice when they allow themselves to be taken for granted AND almost voluntarily enslaved (again).
When a customer keeps buying a product that doesn’t do the job it promises and constantly breaks and every “new and improved” version is the exact same product as before just with different colored labels and fonts on the packaging… that customer is called a sucker.
Women support both major parties in relatively equal numbers, and some (like me) even go third party altogether. Maybe that’s why women have experienced real progress while other minorities continue to be taken for granted and get the same shoddy treatment they’ve come to expect.
Imagine for a moment if the black vote suddenly went 70% to Republican (not gonna happen, but just imagine)… the Democrat party would FREAK, and the Republican party would go bezerk trying to keep them. The net result would be such a huge amount of power in the black population, as both parties scramble to give them everything they want.
As it is, there is no such incentive. Democrats just have to talk and make promises, and even when they go unfulfilled, it’s not like the black vote is going anywhere, so there’s no real urgency to ever fulfill a promise. And Republicans don’t bother because the few times they’ve tried to attract the black vote, it hasn’t amounted to much. Even self-made millionaire black Republican businessmen only manage a scant 10% of the black vote!
It’s sad to see such a large block of people with so much potential sell themselves short year after year after year, and keep believing the same old lies.
ok im only 13 so i got a lil confused lol but seriously, i personally want Obama to win, for many reasons but i will admit i do want him to win bcuz he is black….and yes democrats do a lot more towards helping black people then republicans and George Bush is a republican so i think that sums it up….republicans succ n democrats rule!!!!!
