Do you trust Gallup? Because if you do they have Kerry winning 93% of the black vote in 2004 and Gore getting 95% of the black vote in 2000, so was that racisim in action then?

Did some black voters vote for Obama just because he's black? Sure they did, just like votes were cast against him because he was black. We will never know the true numbers but it's not fair to say all the black votes Obama received this year were racially motivated.

Not that it should even matter but I'm white.

I'm done beating this dead horse and would like to apologize to Bigpoppy for my part in hijacking what was to be a postive thread.

To try and justify how Barry got in is crazy. Like most Libs you can't admit that it was a racial vote when it comes to blacks. Didn't the black voters come out in more numbers? Did all the endorsements that Barry recieved from the people in my last post influence the black voters? Did those same people do the same for Kerry? Gore? Get the picture???

The Dems have always catered to the minorities and in fact targeted the black voters more than any other group. Remember Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis F. and any other black so called leaders, who did they rally behind the most? So just enjoy the win but to deny that racism was not involved is crazy. Racism is involved in almost every aspect of life. Why would a black man running for President be any different? It's not.

I do agree that Barry will have little effect on racism against blacks or whites. I maintain that if he isn't careful he will increase the divide. It's his turn with that huge responsibility and I'm really interested how the media will handle any hint of racism.
