May 22, 1856: Two years after the Grand Old party's birth, U.S. Senator Charles Sumner (R., Mass.) rose to decry pro-slavery Democrats. Congressman Preston Brooks (D., S.C.) responded by grabbing a stick and beating Sumner unconscious in the Senate chamber. Disabled, Sumner could not resume his duties for three years.
In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators and 78 percent of House members voted: "No."
In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: "No."

Former slaves had no greater defender and protector then the Republican Party. These Republicans put their lives on the line for Black folks and now, it's like it never happened.
Me too, Rosinante! I despise when people have a different set of standards for Black people then they have for everyone else.
Oh there's a different standard alright.
It's too bad that it's flying right over your head.
But what do I expect from a person who claims to be a former black racist yet claims he never knew that the word "negro" carried negative connotations?
If I had to guess, I'd guess you're lying about your ethnicity for the sake of argument.
Yup. Its about race. I dont care how they vote...doesn't matter to me. What I dont like is when THEY critique how white Americans vote. If McCain were to get 91% of the white vote, blacks would be really angry. So are we suppose to be fine with it when they vote for the black candidate at a 91% rate? Personally, I wouldn't make such a big deal about it if they didn't make such a big deal about it, but the fact is, they do. They cry racist to all white people who dont support the inexperienced socialist. They really need to stop their little antics....people DONT need to justify their vote, and I feel as if they want white people to justify why they wont support Obama, which is horse @$%#.
How do you know that blacks would be angry if that happened? have you ever discussed it with a black person? or is this the talking point discussed at your club meeting?
Once more...88-92% of blacks voted for the democratic candidate for the past 16 years. These included years that had more than one candidate on the democratic ticket, so if your "theory" holds up, why didn't blacks support Sharpton, Mosely-Braun or Keyes?
Replacing what you think are true facts, doesn't make them true. Trying to ignore true facts won't make them go away either.
It sounds like YOU may be angry at the fact that blacks are keeping their same voting patterns, but this time your candidate is not the recipient of those votes.
If whites voted for someone based only on his color they would universally be considered racist.
So either blacks are racist for doing the same thing, or liberals screaming racist at whites are full of sh*t, which is it?

Reason: typo
It's natural biology that people pay more attention to those with common similarities. I can't imagine any KKK member seriously sit down and compare the policies of Barack and John McCain to make an inform decision that's best for the country.
you just said if your black you will vote black because of your racist and religious views are the exact same as kkk with white people...wow
here are some facts to consider, washington dc, chicago, detroit all BLACK mayors removed from office for criminal activities. all with high crimes, with fully funded failing educational systems.
now consider other cities, for example NEW YORK CITY, used to be one of the most dangerous, now it is rated one of the safest in the USA. REPUBLICAN MAYOR GIULIANI did that.
democratic cities feed off themselves and never solve the issue. they just dump more and more money into nothing. small business' are the way for a community to survive and grow
