If blacks would vote republican just one year ,they would see an increase in their way of life that they never saw before.Who ever told the blacks that they had to vote democrat because they were black or poor or that only the rich vote republican?

1. If it’s truly 97%, then that’s higher than the percentage who voted for him right? I wonder if a few blacks might be afraid of him failing even if they’d rather he did (and I could hardly blame anyone for this sentiment).

2. Optimistically, I’m going to guess that the number is inflated because conservative blacks don’t much care for racial self-identification on polls–or would prefer not to respond, period.

3. I’ve had blacks who were previously quite nice to me start to shun me after learning I didn’t support Obama. (Admittedly, I should take more caution in revealing this sometimes!) Even folks I know are conservatives seem to wince a bit when I speak ill of him. See # 1.

4. Conservatives must be as careful as possible to address what ails “Black America” today without necessarily labeling blacks “racists.” (I broke a similar rule for the “wise Latina”–so sue me.) There is much that is admirable in what could be called the black subculture; unfortunately, I think blacks buying into the Left’s propaganda for the past few decades has nearly crippled an entire demographic forever. If you belong to a church or similar organization, make it a point to reach out to your local black community. They’re largely conservatives deep down–at least on social issues–but mistrust free markets, etc., due to obvious historical reasons. Build the trust as best you can, and tell them you acted because of your core principles–not in spite of them. (Make a similar effort for Hispanics, too.) Don’t leave it to GOP pols to build the bridge because it won’t happen. The cure for what ails us all is cultural and not political, so stop looking to D.C. to “fix” everything.

Obama has always been a communist and is more committed to that ideology than to anything else. Black men and women support him. I think that is pretty natural. However, in smaller numbers, they will turn against the Obama administration when his real agenda becomes more clear. This is only my opinion. I have little evidence to support my opinion at this time.

I have a friend and co-worker who is in immigrant from Ethiopia. A real, honest to god African. And he has nothing but contempt for American blacks. He sees this country with the eyes of an immigrant and can’t believe his good fortune. He is like a kid on Christmas morning. He doesn’t know which package to unwrap first. His brain is on fire with plans and schemes and business ideas and ways to make money and get ahead for himself, his wife and family and his church. He does not understand the victim and welfare state mentality of American blacks, and doesn’t cultivate pimp/gansta fashions that he encounters in the black community. You can actually talk to him about things and not get the hostility that drips off of so many blacks in this society.

Why are black people always blaming Republicans for all their problems. Most big cities have been run by Democrats for years and years, yet black people keep coming out of public schools as stupid as they were when they went in. Sooner or later black people will figure out the Democratic Party game plan – keep you stupid and dependent and DEMOCRATS.

Blacks are the number one target of hate crimes in America (69.3% of 4,956 race-motivated crimes, 2007), so there is some substance to the endless grievances, even if race-baiters cry “wolf” too often.

During the election primaries, not a single black person ever called me a racist for supporting Hillary Clinton. No sir, that’s what the “educated” white “liberals” called me.

Oh well… It won’t keep Obama in office, now that the rest of the voting populace has found out how incompetent that empty suit is.

Obama’s a disgrace to every American; Black or white. A disgrace to the Office of President, and a disgrace to his race. Whether he calls himself black or white.
This week he completely exposed his juvenile racial attitude, and reinforced it with backup statements.
Obama’s legacy-A disgrace to the Office of President and a disgrace to his race; whatever that may be.

…” he should have calibrated better.” I believe racism in the white house has been calibrated to the highest standard in the history of presidential commentary…Barry,Barry, Barry, you can take racism off the table now,you won!… Boxer and Pelosi can pack it in legislation where nobody will see it till it’s too late.
