Oscar Wao,

You seem to not understand math nor know the poll ratings. I’m not sure what polls you’re referring to, but Obama’s approval ratings are only at 56% (Gallup Poll), the second lowest for any president of the last 40 years (Clinton was lower) after their first 100 days. Ref:

From what I understand, black approval ratings are above 80%, the assuming the lowest approval ratings for blacks at 80% we get the following:

.56=.80*.12 + x*.88 -> x = .52 (where x is the Obama approval rating for non-blacks)

So non-black approval ratings stand at only 52%. A 28 point gap. Do you honestly believe a 28 point gap between blacks and non-blacks is not, nor will not, be a point of contention in race relations?

If you don’t believe this, then what was the point of your comment? You seem to think that your comment speaks for itself, but has very little content and a distinct lack of understanding of statistics.

Regards,
Ken
