Thanks for your thoughtful post. You put into words and personal insights many thoughts that many of us have.
It is not necessarily racists to report such, which i do, as it testifies to a cultural correlation, but there is an animosity in the Left to what the conservative white culture overall represents, that of traditional reverence for moral authority, capitalism and earning rewards and penalizing indolence, etc. , and charity being mercy, not a demand as a right.
As for stats,
The 2012 electorate contained the smallest share of white voters and the largest share of nonwhite voters in American history. White voters constituted 72 percent of the electorate, down from 74 percent in 2008, 77 percent in 2004, and 81 percent in 2000. African-Americans made up the next largest share at 13 percent, the same as 2008, and up from 11 percent in 2004 and 10 percent in 2000.
Hispanics constituted 10 percent of the electorate in 2012, compared to 9 percent in 2008, 8 percent in 2004, and 7 percent in 2000. Asian voters made up 3 percent of the 2012 electorate, an increase from 2 percent each in 2008, 2004, and 2000.
Mitt Romney won a larger share of the white vote than either John McCain or George W. Bush. Romney defeated Obama by 59 to 39 percent among whites, compared to McCain winning whites by 55 to 43 percent over Obama in 2008, while Bush won whites by 58 to 41 percent over John Kerry in 2004 and by 54 to 42 percent over Al Gore in 2000.
Mitt Romney won white voters in almost all demographic groups, usually by substantial margins. Romneys campaign was extremely successful at appealing to white voters across the board, and won almost all white groups except Jewish voters. In every group listed below, Romneys percentage in 2012 surpassed McCains percentage in 2008.
Romney lost among African-Americans by roughly the same margin as John McCain and by a greater margin than George W. Bush.
Romney lost Asians by the greatest margin in recent history, and by a greater margin than he lost Hispanics. Obama won among Asians in 2012 by 73 to 26 percent, compared to 62 to 35 percent over McCain in 2008. - http://www.resurgentrepublic.com/research/2012-the-year-changing-demographics-caught-up-with-republicans
Nationally, non-white voters constituted 28% of the electorate, up from 26% in the 2008 election, and President Obama again won 80% of these voters, according to the exit polls. The President won Latino voters by 44% points over Romney, an 8 point increase from 2008, while 93% of Black voters supported the president, down a notch from the 95% he had in 2008, (but still an 87 point differential). Said simply, 89% of Romneys supporters were white (compared to 56% for Obama).
Finally, the role of nerds, geeks and their use of large datasets of voters contributed to the Obama victory over Romney. This is somewhat surprising considering Romneys past reputation during his reign at Bain Capital as a data guy. In fact, as we are now learning, the Obama campaign hired a cadre of sophisticated and highly skilled data geeks to build the largest and most integrated voter database in history, with an incredible amount of micro-level personal data on each individual potential voter. As TIME Magazines Michael Scherer points out, it was this team of data crunchers who figured out the best way to raise small amounts of money from millions of donors, and who kept information up-to-date on who was registered, who was most likely to vote, and what the field operation needed to do to get as many of these voters to the polls. - http://news.columbia.edu/oncampus/2964
The Obama campaign efforts to get out the vote, were directed largely at people, who regardless of race, had very little knowledge of the Constitutional functions, actually entrusted to the Federal Government; the focus, especially in the contrived early and extended voting, was on being able to make the Acorn type "Community Organjzers" more effective, than they would have been had they been forced to herd their pawns to the polls, all in a single day. (This not only increased the proportion of the vote by those basically ignorant of what actually was involved; it facilitated multiple voting by some, in different locations.
What the devise certainly was not, however, was a means to have people who understood the proper functions of Government, decide the result.
It is unconscionable to celebrate a result so obtained. It is insanity to allow people to herd those susceptible to directed block voting, to the polls in this manner. We need to draw a line. This must not be repeated.

Time for a White Riot.
Much more effective would be a quiet resolve, expressed by a candidate or spokesman with the best credentials, and great grass roots support, that we will not support anyone who will not honor the Founding Fathers' stated intention in the Preamble to the Constitution, to secure the Blessings of Liberty to their posterity.
Unlike the nonsense being spouted today, a nation, community, family, species, race or what have you, is a multi-generational concept. That applies to everyone, and there is no reason under the heavens for rooted Americans to quietly surrender their homeland.
This does not need to imply hostility to any other people on earth. We can be friends to all. But our lands, resources, etc. are finite. It is not cruelty to demand our borders be secure, it is only provident behavior. It is not mean-spirited to defend the integrity of the fruits of our own labor. If we want to redistribute those fruits in charity, that must be a personal decision; not a case of plundering the provident, industrious & frugal for the political advantage of demagogues, seeking to be all things to all men.
Enough, long since, became far more than enough.

remember that the man who promised to unite the country in 2008 said that this election was about revenge.
Without completing the thought that his coalition was all about revenge on white Americans.
Hear hear, brother..... hear, hear.
