Sadly for them, I guess they don't realize Obama has done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of blacks, let alone Americans. But let them keep doing the same thing expecting different results. Its their loss
This is one of the main reasons black conservatives have to tread lightly. There are in the company of people who think like this!

94% and 0% for Romney? I asked it before, what would be your explanation if 0% of the white population supported Obama.

Nice try at not answering the question, you should run for office. Answer it directly, if 0% of the white population supported Obama what would your explanation be?

Now the real truth is, democrats talk about black Americans, they lie to black Americans, and feel black Americans need the rich white man to help them. While republicans prefer to not look at a person because of the color of their skin.

Not really, we do not have to tread lightly, for one, we know that people that think like this are a minority. Also we know not to judge the entire populous on the ignorance of the few. We also just laugh at them and know that they would be better off if they would vote Democrat since they hold similar beliefs.

^^^That's an understatement. "Sound"? People get brave and say things on a forum that they would like to say, but don't, face-to-face or in public.

Looking at some of these posts, it's good to see that there are no white racists posting.

Actually, as a black person who works two, sometimes three jobs and has never received welfare of any kind, it's idiotic, racist nonsense like the above that will guarantee that I will never vote for any Republican as long as I live.

That a lot of white people don't support him? And yes, I would wonder how much of it is race based, given our history.

What's at stake?

Why are you voting for Obama?

This is dumb.

There are a lot of Black people that see that voting for Obama is a bad deal.


I would think that Black people care about their children's future just as much as anyone else.


Obama is only out for keeping people down .... to get votes. He'll give more people welfare. But, he will hurt future generations.


I know that Black people aren't any different from anyone else, whether their skin is white or yellow or purple.


Their has to be a resurrection of will in America. Not a mantra of (welfare checks) hope.
