    There will be just as many voting for Obama because he's black as there are people voting against him.

    What percentage of the black population do you think is voting for Obama because he's black? I promise you a greater percentage of blacks are voting for Obama because he's black than the percentage of whites are voting against him because he's black.

    I'm not sure I buy that. Blacks have never supported black conservative candidates. The black population is supporting Obama because he is the liberal candidate and a Democrat. If that support had much to do with skin color Cynthia McKinney would naturally be getting a high percentage of the black vote as she is blacker than Obama.

    It's the D and the liberal political philosophy.

    Partially true. Black people also never vote. This time a large percentage will finally vote because he is black, not because he is a democrat.

    And you know this because of what?
    Dont speak in absolutes, because this is far from the truth.
    When Clinton got 89% of the black vote, im pretty sure they turned out and not because he was black.

    2004 Black Vote
    Those who reported and registered

    57.4% of all ages voted
    42.6% of all ages didnt vote

    2004 White Vote
    Those who reported and registered

    65.4% of all ages voted
    34.7 of all ages voted
    These numbers are weighted averages of the various age groups.

    not that huge of a difference, although there is a difference.
    however, i think you see my point.

    :lol:

    When I said black people do not vote, that is in comparison to other races.

    I believe in '04 14 million black people voted and 106 million white people voted.
