96% of black voters picked Obama.
3% of black voters picked McCain.
Compare these results to the 2004 presidential election when Kerry only received 88% of the black vote. More blacks voted in this election than in any previos election. Is Obama any more or less liberal than Kerry? Probably not enough to make a difference in the numbers.
I never said that ALL black voters chose Obama because he was black, but take a look at what's being said and done by a large number of blacks:
-Excessive celebration. When was the last time we've seen such huge celebrations in the streets by blacks? When O.J. was found not guilty. I don't recall this behavior when Clinton was elected or reelected in the 90's.
-Statements that they voted for Obama because he was black.
-Statements concerning how great it is to have a black president.
-Statements about how they never thought they'd see a black president in their lifetime.
The list goes on and on. Why is it that a white person saying that they voted for McCain because he is white a racist remark, but not when a black person says they voted for Obama because he is black? It's the same thing either way. There is a distinct double standard in this country when it comes to racism. A white person who claims to have voted for Obama because he is black is also a racist.
When will racism ever stop if we continue to make decisions based on race? Racism will never cease if we keep encouraging it. But then again, many people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have a lot to lose if racism really disappears.
