“90+ percent isn’t persuasive that the vote was completely based on skin color? Who is proposing a canard here? Anyone who says Blacks voting for obama wasn’t completely racially-based are using the Bugblatter Beast defense: It is so stupid that it thinks that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you.”
Actually 96% of the blacks voted for Dumb’O vs 80-85% that typically vote for white liberal candidates. But the real test of whether blacks vote for black candidates would be if some conservative like Thomas Sowell were to run. What percentage of black votes do you think he’d get if he were up against a white liberal like say Ed Kennedy?
I would guess it would be well below 50%.
I believe that politics (self interest) trumps everything - race, gender, religion.... Most blacks have been brainwashed into thinking that liberals care more about them than conservatives, so they will always vote for a liberal over a conservative, even if the conservative is black.
Anybody who votes based on skin color is a racist. Doesn't matter the color of the voter.
Just ask Alan Keyes.
I think it’s worse than that. Blacks have been brainwashed into the thinking America is so racist that the only way to get ahead is to have the government intervene to make sure you get ahead — and if you don’t, to load you up with freebies. They have completely bought into the welfare state as a right and it is the chief reason blacks fall behind on every performance measure. They are told that if there are not equal outcomes on any measure it is solely due to racism. They makes them feel better about their massive failures across the board of any intellectual or financial achievement scale. It also makes it easy to justify their lack of initiative, discipline and ingenuity to get ahead on their own merit. And it’s not just a tragedy for black people. It is a tragedy for all of us and our political system. They are the power base for the Communists who want to take over and destroy all our freedoms.
