A Quick Thought on Retail Politics

avatar

So the race-baiters push the theme:  Upwards of ninety percent of blacks supported Obama in the primary with no sign that this will change during the primary.

I understand the idea is to feed into racial fear.  To push the us against them meme; but really? 

For this to make any sense, a republican candidate would've had to have ever gotten, say 30% of the black vote. 

I would venture to say the democrat in every presidential race has garnered overwhelming black support - 90% or so.

A wise man once said: It's like these guys are proud of being ignorant!
