Looking at the polls, this presidential election season is poised to give birth to the most racially polarized electorate in U.S. history.
Whites are backing Mitt Romney in historic numbers, while Obama is garnering historic levels of support among blacks, Latinos and Asians.
While the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has the president in a dead heat with his GOP opponent, recent surveys show wide swings in support based on race. In other words, it looks like white voters versus everyone else.
Looking at a composite of polls, Obama’s white support averages 37.9 percent, ranging from 35 percent to 41 percent—the share of white support he enjoyed in 2008. Meanwhile, Romney’s portion of the white electorate is somewhere between 53 and 59 percent—20 points higher than Obama in four major polls— if these figures are to be believed.
Meanwhile, among voters of color in general, the President has close to 80 percent support. With African-Americans, support is nearly exclusively in the Obama column at around 95 percent, the share he received in 2008.

This includes Romney’s claims that Obama removed welfare work requirements to “shore up his base,” a thinly-veiled reference to the Reagan-era black “welfare queen” who made $150,000 through government checks she did not deserve.
Republicans have doubled down on intolerance, xenophobia, and the shunning of racial diversity as a winning strategy. Blacks, Latinos, Arabs, Muslims and others need not apply—or vote, for that matter. They are not part of a winning Republican strategy.
Oh my goodness, I fear for your salvation.
Your only hope is to immediately check yourself into a reeducation camp conveniently located by the government near your home. There you will will be brought to understand that truth is no defense to the making of such grotesqueries.
Please do not be alarmed, your enlightenment will be gentle. Our facilitators are very experienced and have never lost the patient yet. After all, your enlightenment is in your hands entirely as expressed in our motto:
Submission makes free
Be not anxious, waterboarding is rarely resorted to, it is not really torture if done to our own, and it is far more benign than chemotherapy or shock treatment. You will be released back into the general population as soon as our federal inspectors certify that your condition is in remission-of course, you are never really cured as this malady is liable to reappear at any time, especially before elections.
I wish you a speedy, thorough and certifiable recovery in time for you to celebrate the winter solstice with your family.
Kindly report to your local reeducation center before election day to avoid embarrassing and tedious apprehension by the designated authorities.

They generally have higher IQ's.
That's why Asians build all those i-things for us haoles to consume.
More likely it’s a Half-White/Half-Kenyan voter vs. everyone else.
I don’t think a single non-White-male demographic is more behind him this go around. He done lost his shine.
When Romney wins, we'll all be "White Voters".
BETTER DEAD THAN RED
