Is Racial Allegiance Keeping Obama's Approval Rating High Among Black People?
Black Christian News ^ | 8/11/10 | Cord Jefferson

Beginning last week, President Obama's approval rating is now the lowest it's ever been, with just 45 percent of Americans saying they're satisfied with the job he's doing, according to Gallup...Yet as supporters peel away by the day, one group has yet to significantly give up on the president: African Americans. Though Obama no longer enjoys the 96 percent black approval of months past, he's still never known what it's like to not have the support of at least 80 percent of African American voters. Currently, more than nine out of 10 blacks polled approve of Barack Obama's job performance, a bounce back from a year low of 85 percent following the Sherrod dustup.

“Racial Allegiance “?

Is that like racism?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

If it is allegiance to the white race it is racism. The black race is by definition not capable of being racist even if they go out and night and shoot any cracker they happen to see.

Supporting Obama is supporting slave mentality to government tyranny, I pray black people wake up and choose freedom.

"...Is Racial Allegiance Keeping Obama's Approval Rating High Among Black People?.."

When "racial allegiance" enables a significant portion of the black "blogosphere" to openly rationalize their admiration for Omar Thornton, I'd say the answer to that question is... well, DUH!!!

The biggest open secret in American society today is black racism against white people

Even worse are race relations between blacks and latinos.

Two groups who have learned to use their skin-color as an excuse for their behavior.

There are many 'groups' around the world, and some use religion, not race, as the excuse.

It's sad, but predictable that these same people willing to support a president who does not give a damn about them will later believe convoluted conspiracy theories about how Obama was prevented from helping them because of the continued evil of white people.

Listening to the comments and callers on urban talk radio is like listening in to another planet--Obama can do no wrong.

Even worse is how one wonders why blacks can be so favorable to a guy who believes in the unrestricted entry of illegal immigrants, who comprise a great deal of these people who are racist against blacks, into this country.

The article is actually from a website called theroot.com.

To give you an idea of where they’re coming from, here’s another of their articles, citing the ‘racism’ of calls to repeal the anchor-baby angle to the 14th Amendment:

Just so you don’t think they are a fringe site in the black community, here’s another take on the ‘racism’ in addressing anchor babies:

Wow, support among blacks dropped down to 85% and that was during the Sherrod incident. In other words, support dropped when blacks didn’t feel zer0 was being black enough.

Racism is what defines these people.

They love being kept on the racist reservation with broken promises by the black crooked communist caucus.

Is the sky blue? Is Obama half black?

Actually he is a quarter black. His father was half African and half Arab.

If they supported OJ Simpson by 90%, what does that tell you?

My understanding of the OJ mentality was that even if, and actually ESPECIALLY IF he actually did it,

his acquittal was PAYBACK.
