It could be suggested that it is racist to assume that X percentatge of blacks voted for Obama for his race rather than his policies if you dont have the data to back it up.

Obama saw an increased percentage in most demographics.....men, women, hispanics, asians, white, republicans, indepdendents, young, college educated.....
voter demographics - 1988-2008
yet, you single out the increased percentage of black voters and suggest that it was "racists" for blacks to vote for him at a higher percentage (than previous elections) as a result of few anectdotes that it was race based, rather than any hard data.
