It is impossible to fathom why the color of Obama’s skin; (which has nothing to do with his heritage as an American) is still the guiding influence for intelligent black voters.

By definition ... for a "black voter", or a "white voter", or a "brown voter", or a "pink with purple polka-dots voter" skin colour is all that matters. Such behaviour is racist ... and I dispute the notion that racism and intelligence in any way go together.

Someone who is a racist voter is NOT also an intelligent voter.

You are correct, of course. I should have dropped the ‘intelligent’ :)

Politicians who pander to ‘victim ethnic’ groups do all Americans a disservice.

I suppose it is simply impractical to separate and pander to ‘white’ Americans as Poles, Germans, Anglos, French etc., Perhaps because we are Americans first.
