a note on the black vote and "obama racism"
A quick note on the Black vote. Obama is expected to get 90-95% of the Black vote. This is being discussed as "racist" - as surely that high percentage means Blacks are voting for Obama because of his race. This does not stand up. Every Democrat since 1964 has gotten between 85-92% of the Black vote. One would expect the Democratic nominee to get 90% of the Black vote. It is the norm. If Obama has an advantage this year with the Black vote it is with NEW black voters. This is to be expected. Obama is half Black. If Bill Richardson had been the nominee an upswing in Hispanic registration would have occurred, along with a lot of Brown Pride. Irish-Americans where proud and excited about John Kennedy in 1960...
Obama has used and abused the race card all year. This has harmed the cause of addressing real racism. Since Obama has run a racist and sexist campaign from the Left, this means we must be more vigilant than ever in clearly opposing real bigotry and clearly opposing "Obama racism" - bullshit that plays on guilt spewed to achieve the effect of benefiting his campaign with no regard for consequences and no concern for real victims of bigotry.
