Do black people support Obama because he's black?

Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he's black? If race is just one factor in blacks' support of Obama, does that make them racist?

That and the free "Obamaphone"...

It's just the final realization of Rev. King's dream, that one day people would be judged by the color of their skin rather than by the content of their character.

Yes, I know that's the exact opposite of what MLK said. If he had known what was coming, he would have said "Shoot me now."

[Uncle Slayton]

The statistics on that are clear.

Prior to Obama maybe 90% of Blacks voted for Democrats.

With Obama 92% of Blacks vote for Obama.

The only logical conclusion is that Blacks only vote for Obama because he is Black.

[CodeToad]

Yes. Racists.

[I want the USA back]

Just as non-minorities are labeled racist for criticizing 0bama, minorities deserve the label racist for favoring him.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Not so fast there, Captain Rhetorical...

[Ignatz]

Fo’ shizzle

[areukiddingme1]

That was funny...

Well, duh.

If the race was between Allen West and Hillary Clinton, or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid, for whom do you think blacks would vote?

A pandering lefty who would continue the handouts - that’s who they would vote for.

Quoting Dr. Thomas Sowell from a recent FR thread:

"If you truly believe in the brotherhood of man, then you must believe that blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are."

...Told that some saw her tweet as racist, she said that's not what she meant. "I was saying that as a black woman, Romney doesn't have that much that would make us want to vote for him," said Scott-Miller, who is black. "Because Barack Obama lives with three black women in his house, he knows about what they need, he knows about the issues we may be facing, he talks to black women on the regular."

Imagine where this country would be if we just all thought of each other as Americans. Generally speaking (95% of the African American Voters), blacks don't want to be recognized simply as equal Americans. Why not?

Can you imagine if a politician, regardless of race or sex suggested that no government form was allowed to list, track or keep statistics on whites and non-whites; that from now on all people in America will be tracked as citizens or non-citizens and we won't recognize race at all?

There would be riots. Most Minorities (95% of African American voters) are somehow proud of the victim status they maintain with a simple ethnic label.

Look at the quote above and see if it makes any sense when you remove all racial references. Any decision or opinion that is swayed simply by the color of skin is prejudice (pre-judging). Not all pre-judging is bad. Think of the college kid with glasses, a pocket protector, a bunch of pens and a scientific calculator carrying a computer case on a college campus. Would you assume this is a book-smart person at least? You have pre-judged and there is nothing wrong with that. Same goes in the other direction when you see a group of African American youth wearing all black, tattoos, pants low, baggy clothes, hats worn sideways flashing gangsigns at each other on a downtown street corner in a rough part of town late at night. Would you ask them to walk your dog? You've also pre-judged.

Until the victim culture in this country changes and some racial segments of the population begin to take pride in making their own success, it will never change. And democrats will shamelessly USE their own self image against them to keep them down.

DA-MAN is not WHITEY. DA-MAN is Liberalism.

Bump! Dr. Sowell doesn’t mince his words.

[ExCTCitizen]

If race is just one factor in blacks' support of Obama, does that make them racist?

Only Whites can be RACISTS...Blacks support blacks because they have to get even with 'WHITEY'!!

[Vendome]

Does a bear scat in the woods?

[kinsman redeemer]

Ummmm...
“YES!”

Is there any other other reason to support him?

[Yosemitest]

People who support Obama, do so because they're EVIL!

Remember:
Don't let anyone deceive you in any way,
for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of LAWLESSNESS is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped,
so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
For the secret power of LAWLESSNESS is already at work;
but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
And then the LAWLESS ONE will be revealed,
whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
The coming of the LAWLESS ONE will be in accordance with the work of Satan
displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a POWERFUL DELUSION
so that they will believe the lie
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth
but have delighted in wickedness.
