One of the country's oldest civil rights groups says President Barack Obama may have a tougher time winning at least three battleground states in November should black voter turnout fall 5 percentage points or more below the record levels that helped to put him in the White House.
Black turnout of 64.7 percent was a significant factor in 2008, and African-Americans are considered solidly behind Obama. But having achieved the milestone of electing the nation's first black president, those black voters who support him may be less motivated to return in droves again, the National Urban League said in a report yesterday.

I predict blacks will both stay home and vote for Obama in lower numbers. I am ready to be ridiculee come November if I’m wrong.
The biggest losses in black support are going to come from the South, believe it or not, which is culturally more conservative that the urban north.
Black Christian ministers are appalled by Obama’s support of gay marriage. Let’s not forget that.
Three polls in three southern states — North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia — found black support falling to 77 to 79 percent. Those are catatrosphic losses from the Democratic party.
The actual black vote may be a higher percentage of support for Obama, but overall support within the black community will be lower because blacks against Obama’s homosexual agenda are going to stay home. A prominent black minister in Prince Georges County, Maryland has made just that point.
Losses in Northern and Western states are going to come from the one-third of the black community that has not been destroyed by Democratic welfare plantation anti-family policies. This are often blacks living in the suburbs. They have intact families and productive lives. This is where Obama is losing support.
I’m sure there is a Romney ad in here somewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI
There used to be a tee shirt design that I saw my students wearing when I was teaching in a 99% black school in Brooklyn during the mid 80’s. The saying on the shirt said, “It’s a Black thing; you wouldn’t understand.”
Think about how polarizing such a saying is. Think how deadening to all discussion, how closing-of-the-mind to any and all alternatives, how numbing to the thinking of a young person. Such a philosophy reduces the practitioner to a zealot, a militant, an extremist. No hope of reasoning with such a mind; no chance of appealing to common sense. Any argument that supports this simple tenet is approved; any that opposes or casts uncertainty is easily rejected: “You don’t understand.” Simple, quick, final. The wielder of such rhetoric will always stride off firmly convinced with all certainty they are in the right. The vanquished, hopelessly lost (”I couldn’t reason with THEM—they don’t understand.”) Checkmate.
This type of training of too many young, black minds has been going on in schools, in popular culture, in religious institutions, in public discourse for 4 decades now.
And the saying has become true today: It’s a Black thing; I wouldn’t understand.
It is...and I don’t.
The internal polls must be frightening to the Left. They keep talking about “what if” on the Black vote. “What if”? on the Black vote for a putative Black Democrat? The internals MUST be scaring them to death!
Interesting charts. I wonder what the charts would look like now that Obamugabe has had three years to make the 2009 numbers look good by comparison.
They see, but being the freeloaders that MOST blacks are, they don't care.
Every recent "flash mob" of teens that are robbing and destroying stores are all {insert the forbidden word}.
In the words of malik zulu shabazz, leader of the new black panthers, "moochelle and the girls should leave this nigger" and so should the black voters.
If Obamugabe loses black support in the South, though, it won’t matter because he is expected to lose those states anyway. I want him to lose black support in the other regions of the nation.
They will show up......this year it is all about “wag the food stamps.”
That allows them to manufacture votes.
There was a woman on WLS radio last week who explained that all Whites were racist. She said she would be voting for Obama because he’s black. When prompted, she said it wouldn’t matter if he had robbed a bank or killed someone. People of color will vote for Obama because he’s black...
96% of Black voters and Black churches supported Obama despite his anti-Christian views on abortion and separation of church and state because of his color... I predict 4% may fall away this election cycle although it won’t make a significant dent due to election fraud.
Look for a pre-election “bomb” of injustice against blacks to bring them to the polls in droves.

The brother made promises to you. How many has he kept?
Has the brother in the White House helped you be any better off than you were four years ago?
