Do black people support Obama because he's black?
AP ^ | Saturday, October 13, 2012 | JESSE WASHINGTON

Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he's black? If race is just one factor in blacks' support of Obama, does that make them racist?

I read in a recent news article in the Rochester NY, D&C newspaper that they interviewed on black woman from the city, unemployed, low income, single mom who is voting for Obama.

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/interactive/article/20121013/NEWS01/310140027/Louise-Slaughter-Maggie-Brooks-poll

Name: Jada Prescott
Age: 22
Registered as: Democrat
Resides in: Rochester
Voting for: Undecided/Obama
Jada Prescott, 22, will vote for Obama in November.

She said she doesn’t think Romney is going to do what’s best for the people. “If you’re going to tax the middle class for something that the higher class and rich people can pay, that’s just going to put us more in poverty because that’s money that we don’t have,” Prescott said.

Prescott, a single mom who is currently unemployed, said the Affordable Care Act will be a big help to her. She’s worried about losing healthcare if Romney wins and rolls back healthcare provisions in the new law.

“I’m really dependent on these types of things to kind of help me keep myself up above water,” she said. “It would really set me back.”

This kind of says it all, doesn’t it?

I’ve been told, and heard, so many times, it’s really a common fact, and I believe it that the only people are racist are white. No, they vote for him because they believe in his agenda. And they aren’t racist, because black people are immune, they don’t see color, they are rainbow people. White’s are the only ones who can be racist. I heard it on the news.

Color has nothing to do with why I’m voting...period. Every time the left brings this meme up it makes my head explode.

Sounds like she doesn’t want to pull herself out of the deep end of the pool.

“...it has less to do with the candidate than with his party’s treatment of Obama...”

Absolute BS! “O” is getting the same treatment every single President of this country ever gets from the opposition.

Have minority voters never heard or seen the way Liberals behaved to either of the Bush Presidents?

It’s called POLITICS... if it is too hot for you in the kitchen, GET OUT!!

FTA:

Clinton got 83 percent of the black vote in 1992 and 84 percent in 1996; the third-party candidate Ross Perot probably sliced away some of Clinton's black support.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Awhile back I asked the question “Why does having black skin color mean you automatically have to be a socialist?”

A poster responded that back in its heyday, the Soviet Union had propagandized Southern big-city blacks to help start a race war. Looks like they did one hell of a job.
