This election was strange.
But, what does it say, that so many voters didn’t know who this guy was? What does it say about, sad to say, low information voters, who were swayed by misleading ads to think that this candidate was black? What does it say about black voters, that they only want to vote for a candidate who they think is also black????
....I thought race didn’t matter?

Detroit election officials tried to eliminate Mike Duggan (who is white) by removing him from the primary ballot for the Mayoral race. When he won as a write in candidate they simply threw out 40% of his votes to give Benny Napoleon (Black) the primary win. The state stepped in and made them count all of Duggan’s votes to return the win to him.
In the end, Duggan won the mayor’s office by nearly 10%.
More often than not, I think racist election officials are a bigger problem than racist voters.
Guess who will win.
But when a white man does it? Lynch him.
This country is BEYOND repair.
The black candidate is angry that the white candidate found a way to nuetralize black racism and win on issues.
So, black people voted for him when they thought he was black, but they wouldn't have if they knew he was white?
Obviously, the white guy is racist. Right?
Pretending to be black got Obama elected. Nobody made a big deal about him doing it.
