I hear 35% of black folks do not work for the government and are religious. Maybe they are realizing Obama is not so good after all.

The black unemployment rate currently stands at 15.1% according to the BLS statistics for August. The numbers are understated. These are Depression numbers. Yet nary a word is heard from the black caucus or our first black President.

If true, it is because he is not more Liberal.

I find this hard to believe. I think 0bama will easily get 97% or more of the black vote in 2012.

RACIST! ... snicker

Actually, I've been waiting all week for some news person to pose the question, in the midst of all this "the tea partiers, town hallers and Joe Wilson shows that whites are racist and don't vote for blacks." while 95% of the blacks voted for Pres. Bobble Head.

THAT'S not "RACIST!

I don't know what to think of this.

I think this means nothing, it is "situation normal".

The sample was not "likely voters" or even "registered voters", some % of the population will always be dissatisfied with whomever is in office.

Even if they are dissatisfied with Emperor Zero they will still get on the church bus in 2012 and cast their vote for him again, it's not like they are going to vote for a Republican. These people have made an emotional investment in this guy; it's similar to an abused spouse, they may not be happy with him but they will not leave him.

Blacks don’t like the fact that Obama appointed too many white boys and not enough “bros” in his administration. Not matter. In 2012, Obama will still get 99.5% of the black vote. If we nominate Condi Rice, she could lower Obama’s black support to 95%.

Well, being a southerner, what I’m going to say will be dismissed by some, out of tired old regional and racial stereotypes.

But, I’ve known and been friends with black people most of my life, even attended historically black churches, not just to weddings and funerals, but for regular services on occasion. They’re nearly all churchgoing people who believe. Licentious behavior is overlooked far too often, but they believe.

It’s DeathCare™ and abortion, plus economics. They know all too well about governments who think they have absolute power of life and death over them. Black people in the US, by and large, have an abiding respect for life that is Biblically based, and they live it. As odd as it sounds to outsiders, the huge number of single mothers actually bear witness to this. It’s but one example of Christianity on the one hand, and being all too accepting of adultery on the other, but there it is. Some claim it’s a heritage from slavery, such behavior, but I can’t say I necessarily agree.

They descend from people who were literally owned, recently enough for the family stories from grandparents and great grandparents to still be heard and shared, and know the mindset when they see it. Took long enough to recognize it, though.

That’s the lasting price we’ve paid for the aftermath of slavery and forced segregation. The socialists were able to hoodwink most of them due to their desperation, and rode into power on their backs. Now, it’s coming clear just who rode them.

How many of those 35% are pissed at him because he’s not paying their mortgage and putting gas in their car?

I wouldn’t read too much into this without better analysis. People disapproving of Obama could mean a lot of things, like he isn’t moving his agenda fast enough for them, or he isn’t socialist enough, or the government checks aren’t big enough.

I don’t know which poll it was because I just caught the tail end, but on whether the tea parties opposing Obama were racist, 42% blacks said “no”. I think blacks are becoming more main stream. Of course they voted for the first black president in large numbers, but this poll proves they are beginning to think for themselves. IMHO

I’m embarrassed to admit this but the first comment I wanted to make was gonna be derogatory...something along the lines of “They’ve turned on Obama because they haven’t received any checks in the mail yet.”

But, thinking about it, I realize, alot of people actually know right from wrong...regardless of their skin color. Many in the black population were willing to give Obama a chance regardless of his previous affiliations or stated views...just as a lot of voters were willing to do. Face it, the man is persuasive. Black people had high hopes for Obama (just as I did for GWB), that failed to pan out (just as my hopes for GWB failed to pan out).

And now, realizing the mistake they made, they’ve changed their minds (...just as I did with GWB). While the man’s skin color may still be the ONLY factor for many in the black community, many realize the USA is a great country to live in and Obama is doing all he can to destroy this country.

I can’t say if these polls are accurate even though I live in Atlanta.

But we’re having a mayoral election in Nov. I’ve never experienced such a quiet campaign, no “get out the vote” excitement.

The major candidates are two blacks, Kasim Reed and Lisa Borders, and a white candidate, Mary Norwood.

Since the two black candidates will split the black vote, it appears Mary Norwood will win the election. And if it goes into a run-off Mary will definitely win.

This will be a major political sift in Atlanta. We’ve had a black mayor in office for the past 35 years.

Maybe this plus the poor performance of O is affecting the polling in Atlanta.

It’s simple: Part of why zero got 97% of the black vote is that the black media has been and remains even more in the tank for zero than the SRM (State Run Media). They got sold a bill of goods, too, but moreso. Now a significant part of that demographic is waking up. Remember, the vast majority of blacks are just regular people trying to get by in a caustic culture. They’re not all poverty pimps, race baiters, rappers, punks, thugs, Maxine Waters, Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, etc. They are also probably more aware than non-blacks how utterly full of it those “high-profile” people and the black media are.

So it’s wake-up time all around. That’s a GREAT thing!

PS I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way. Thanks to zero setting back race relations at least 50 years, I fear that stereotypes of most blacks being poverty pimps, race baiters, rappers, punks, thugs, etc. have become common. Heck, I’ve seen it. But they’re not, as stated above.

PPS Want a real.shocker? Watch the “black media” such as BET and it’s ilk. You think the alphabet networks are bad? You haven’t seen ANYTHING!

Here in Charlotte, NC you would be surprised at the number of blacks that don't see eye to eye with the president. We have found that much of the support for Obama came from mis-information or lack of information during the campaign so we give them some alternate sources to check out.

Instead of denigrating a whole set of people for supporting this commie, we need to try to plant seeds of discontent in every left leaner, black or white, that we can in the hope of infecting others through them.

I’m thinking, they are decoupling from ‘party line’ and starting to THINK independently..?
