It really has nothing to do with racism

Of course it does.

It is only one of many factors contributing to Obama's 2008 election victory and his persistent high popularity in spite of his dismal performance, but it is a factor.

In the 2008 election 96% of black voters voted for Obama. Various polls show that his suport among blacks is still above 90%. Obama could admit on national TV that he is a muslim and really does want to destroy America and institute Sharia law and blacks would still support him.

Feb 1, 2012:

"The most recent ABC News-Washington Post poll found Obama’s approval rating among blacks stands at 91 percent, higher than any other surveyed demographic category. He won 96 percent of the black vote in 2008."

Wasn’t talking about the 2008 election. I agree with you wholeheartedly that white guilt put him in office.

I was relating the current 50% approval rating to government reliance any more than racism. People have seen that they can vote themselves from the treasury, and they’re going to continue to do so.

Taxpayers are screwed.
