So, if President Barack Obama isn’t reelected, will the reputation of entire black race suffer from his electoral defeat?
On Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, Maher said a Romney win in November would reflect poorly on “black America” and help conservatives undermine America’s faith in black politicians.
“I think the second term for Obama is more important even than the first,” Maher said. “Obviously, it was important to get the first black president elected. But if the first black president only has one term, America reads that as a failure.

Also the one for Asians is messed up
The graphs come from nfs.gov (National Science Foundation report "Scores by Race/Ethnicity"), who I presume got the data direct from College Board. Believe or disbelieve all you want.
In that same report, they also have the test scores in Excel spreadsheet form. See the raw white scores (appendix 1-19) versus the black scores (1-21). Hispanic(1-22) and Native American(1-23)
In 1992, from 1-19, out of 680,806 white test takers, 30,396 (4.5%) got a SAT math score of 700 or above. Among the black test takers, only 430 black students nationwide, (0.4% of the black total), got 700 or above. Among Native Americans, 110 students (1.7%) got 700 or above.
The Asian scores show that 13.3% of Asians score SAT Math of 700 or above. Looking at the number of Asian engineering majors, what's so hard to believe about that?
The Asians scored less high than native Americans or whites? Puhleez
Look at the graph more carefully, I don't think you're interpreting it correctly.
The X axis is the SAT score, and the Y axis indicates how many got a particular score. The Asian graph's peak is between SAT Math score 500 and 600. The Native American graph shows a peak around SAT Math score of 400.
oooooooo you could be right. Is the red mountain the y axis or the x axis. dang graphs.......
The graphs have two lines. The blue is the 1987 data, and the red is the 1992 data.
