When did he need it?

When did he need it?

True , maybe 12 % of the population , the majority of whom vote democrat . That is not the demographic that got him 52 % of the vote .

[cindy25]

but it was the demographic that won the primaries.

in most southern states black democrats exceed white democrats

[Rael]

No. They will vote for him anyway because they consider him to be black, and secondly because he is a Democrat and they know Dems will give them more free shit.

I could see that in this paticular instance it would be significant in the primary . Clinton , Reid and Pelosi would have brought the same economic terrorism though .

I would like to see the stats on this since I suspect we do have a significant black middle class. I do wonder that after Obama has spent much of his Presidency screwing over the black middle class how many will still vote for him. Will they still look the other way because he is black or will they buy into the blame game.

Stats I saw from last election were over 90 % , he will get less next time .

They will blame "racism" and claim that Obama couldn't succeed because the white people in congress wouldn't let him.

[Rael]

Also Obama is not black. He is biracial. They like saying he is black so they can say we have a black president. Sorry, but your going to have to keep waiting.

More than half of congress are his socialists. All colors .

Our movement needs to invest almost as much research into Frederick Douglass as we do Ron Paul -- with a concerted effort we may actually be able to move the Black community towards a reliable Constitutionalist vote. Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass. Learn about him. Stock up on knowledge, and we will unleash it in 2012 for a Ron Paul victory. Trust me on this...

Don't expect voters to use facts or logic in making decisions ;)

i have a cousin married to a black southern baptist.

he kept telling me, when i told him that i wasnt voting for obama, that i should vote for him because im poor, and poor people vote for democrats.

when i objected to that argument, he finished by saying that because i am not close to jesus (i dont consider myself to be...) that i dont have the ability to judge others like he does.

2 years after the election: he wished he hadnt voted for obama.

Blacks in this country are all mixed to begin with. Go check out real Africans in the depth of the Congo.
