[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 7917826, member: 566575"] That has hardly anything to do with my comment and what I was quoting. People love to say that black people are voting for Obama just because he's black...when in 2004 88% of them still voted for Kerry, and 90% voted for Gore. Also, Obama won the last election because he dominated the 18-30 age group, as well as having big gains in the Latino and Asian voters. Hell, even the majority(albeit small majority) of people making $200k or more voted for him. I highly doubt the 2% increase in black voters really pushed him into office like the conservatives want you to think...McCain could have had all of the black votes and he still wouldn't have won. I just hate it when people spout BS. Sure there are people that vote for Obama because he's black and they identify with that. Same reason why people don't vote for him(because he's black), but for some reason we always just glance over that in these conversations. [/QUOTE]
