To me that truly shows where the racism lies. I wonder if any other recent presidential nominee from one of the 2 parties scored less than at least 10 percent of the black vote....

...

The point is that just as some whites may have voted for McCain solely because of race, probably more of a percentage voted for Obama based on race and not policies.

Racism is alive and well on BOTH sides and to be honest in some areas and aspects blacks keep it more prevalent and alive than whites.

I'm just sick of hearing how it is all one sided whites hating blacks, when I believe based on what I have seen it's more the other way around.

But in the end, whichever side in your eyes keeps it alive and revels in it..... racism is wrong and needs to be shown for what it is. Then again, there's an argument that by pointing it out you are trying to keep it alive. Just as I am sure some here will {or would love to but won't because it would prove me right} will attack me and make up all kinds of excuses how 10 percent of a population can vote GOP for almost 30 years and then drop in one year to below 5 percent.

I know EVERY black that voted for Obama, did so, because they all believed in his policies and none because their vote was race based.
