Same thing I asked in 2008 when a local paper came out with a story about a black church where everyone wanted to vote for President Obama although the Pastor said they were pro-life. I asked in the comment section how they could preach pro-life and then vote against it.

I'm pretty sure the Pastor and many members of the congregation read the newspaper story and saw my comment but nobody signed up to reply.

A while later the newspaper canceled comments due to questions like this constantly being asked and disputing their narrative. They claimed the older comments would remain in history but due to a "glitch" they all disappeared.

I believe this was a case of “my mind’s made up.”

The Black voters in 2008 made their mind up that they were going to vote for the “First Black President”. No amount of showing that voting for him went against their principles was going to change their vote.

During his administration race relations plummeted around the country, his Obamacare did not live up to any of the promises, and Black unemployment was high. This is identity politics voting, not voting by being informed.
