Maybe rdean has a point about the presidential election being
about race. It appears that if it weren't for white racism Obama's

That sword cuts both ways.

No, actually it doesn't and claiming so is racist bull****.
There is not one state that went for Obama in which black
racism was a significant factor in the outcome.

With 96% of African Americans voting for Obama? *Puhlease.

African Americans always vote Democrat, claiming that
African Americans voted Democrat in this election because
they're racists is itself racist bull****. The facts simply
do not support such a racist bull**** interpretation. So,
puhlease yourself.

African Americans typically vote 65% dem.

So take your bull**** medium rare and serve it up for you dinner.

African Americans voted 88% for John Kerry in 2004. I am sick
and ****ing tired of ignorant morons spewing hateful racist
bull****. So take your racist bull**** and shove it where the
sun don't shine, moron.

Give it a rest with the racist crap.
88% is less than 96% and the turnout was signficantly higher in 2008
among
african-americans. Obama got approx 3.5M more african-american votes
than
Kerry.

In contrast: In 2008, McCain received roughly 1/3 the african-american
votes
than Bush received in 2004 (approx 0.6M african-american votes). If
african-
americans had turned out for Kerry half as much as they did for Obama,
Kerry
would have been president these last 4 years.
