QuoteKerry got 88% of black votes in 2004. Gore got 90% of black votes in 2000. Clinton got 83% in 1992 and 1996.
Didn't even know that was collected as part of voting.
Can I get a report on how plumbers voted?

QuoteQuoteanybody that voted for color is a racist.
I believe prejudice would be the correct word to use.Quotethe people that don't take the time to find out at least a little about the election have no right voting.
Yes they do.
legally yes morally no. the choice of voting for president is very important, almost the most important choice you could ever make, therefore voting without knowledge of the situation would be disservice to you and the country.

What about when that "knowledge" is based on bullshit chain emails that intentionally distort the facts about a particular candidate?

I can agree with that in theory, I just don't believe people are actually going to the voting booths that oblivious. There is something that motivated them to register, and something that motivated them to vote; and I feel that motivation is enough. Even if their vote was motivated by race, I still believe that they have some knowledge of their candidate even if they are not as informed as other voters.
IMHO, I believe that it is a greater disservice to not vote at all than to vote ignorrantly. Besides, its all based on preception and opinion anyways.
Yes they do.

Voting for Obama because he wasn't Bush (or McCain) is a perfectly valid reason. And the reason why he won.

I don't think anyone has a right to judge how someone else makes a decision in this regard.
Is one's ignorance any better than anothers.
Would you say that people have no right to vote a partisan ticket because they may be ignorant of one of the candidates?
futhermore which of the following is more accurate.
I won't vote for Obama because he is a terrorist.
I will vote for Obama because he is black.

niether one is good enough reason to vote. the problem with americans is that they are to lazy to do a little reserch into the facts. kinda like they want a paycheck for surfing the net and talking to friends.why do you think jobs are going overseas? it's cheaper over there and the people will work while they are at work. they are more productive. i've gotten rid of the lazy want to surf the net employees.
reward = effort and here there is no effort.

no it is not. what he stands for and what he wants to do is a valid reason. charles manson isn't bush either should we elect him?
QuoteRight or Left you have to admit...it speaks volumes that Obama is the president elect. With only 13% of the voting population being black I think this has really shown where we are as a country.
No I don't (have to admit).
Honestly I think that a significant majority of voters voted racially and did not have an understanding of the politics, polices and potential outcomes involved.
I really didn't like either major candidate, and I think that BO's promised change will not turn out like people think it will. I believe that as he settles into office over the first 100 days, we'll see a swing back towards the middle in his polices.

Well, that significant majority would have to be white Caucasion voters, since blacks, hispanics, Pacific islanders, east Asians... are not significant majorities of the voters

I agree in broad strokes with your point. The NAACP does not: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/14/naacp-head-obama-win-wont_n_112487.html

well then that guy is racist and probably shouldn't be voting because electing a president is to important to have race be the deciding factor.
