It's all over the place. Just search for the demographics of the 2008 democratic primaries. My memory could be slightly off, but it was in the 95-97% range.

I'll spell it out for you since you're confused:

Whites were split 50-50 between Obama and Clinton.
Clearly there wasn't a huge difference in their policies.
97% of blacks voted for Obama.

And now you're trying to claim that race had nothing to do with the difference between a 50-50 split and a 93-3 split.

Ignorant or just playing dumb.

Again, that is not racism, unless you're saying that a majority of one race voting for a candidate of their race can only be based on a racist mindset

You're out of control Denny, and looking pathetic.

prejudice: preconceived judgment or opinion (2) : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge

Yep, that could easily explain the 97-3 split between Obama and Clinton. Or are you going to argue that the differences in their policies would only affect the black voters?

No preconceived judgement. No adverse opinion either.

If Hillary won the nomination, she'd have enjoyed similar support from the black voters.

What's your next absurd claim?

I'm not saying that. You're either intentionally ignoring the fact that the other demographics were split very closely between Clinton and Obama, or you don't understand what that most likely means. Re-read, look at the stats, use your brain and some deductive reasoning.

Then you'll hopefully get it.

See Denny's post right above yours.

I think that pretty much killed your point

Holy shit you can't read. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. NOT GENERAL ELECTION. PRIMARIES.

Wow.

Sure, if you're completely illiterate like he appears to be. I'll say it again:

PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. NOT GENERAL ELECTION. PRIMARIES.

Are you drunk?
 
This is getting comical.

Julius and Denny, do you two know what the primaries and general election are?

It's like talking to Corky from Life Goes On around here.
 
Where's the racist component to black people voting for a black candidate. After all, white people vote for white candidates and I've never heard that specifically called racist. Maybe voting for a candidate who's actually a racist... But not just because of skin color.

Primaries. LOL.

Ok, if that is your claim... Show me another race or demographic that has been split 97-3 voting for their same demographic.

Is it your contention that voting "just because of skin color" is NOT racist? If so, I guess we don't have anything more to discuss.

It's not racist. Geez. Get that through your thick skull!

It could be they wanted to see a glass ceiling broken. An america where a black man can be elected president. A president that may relate to their situation better than someone who's not part of the community. Maybe a black president will put in place policies that stop black men from being arrested disproportionately to white men. Those seem like good enough reasons, and are not racist. Not racist by the most liberal definition that can be applied.

And no, "because of skin color" is not the definition of racist.

Um, yes it is. By definition.

Prejudice: preconceived judgment or opinion

Yes, that applies to "voting based on skin color"

I ignored the rest of your ignorant post.
 
what percentage SHOULD obama hove gotten in the primaries?
 
Denny Crane said:
False.

If you prejudge that black men are good athletes, you are not being racist.
Click to expand...

Yes that is as well. By definition. Like you and the definitions said, racist doesn't always have to be a negative judgment.

Just stop Denny. You're embarrassing yourself.
 
If Herman Cain had won the R primaries, what do you think the Black vote would have looked like between Obama and Cain in the general?

I think it's you who's embarrassing yourself.

Everyone is prejudiced. Few of us are racist. Hopefully, anyway.

Some of our prejudices may be racial. Again, that is not racist because there is no element of one race being superior to another. Regardless of you deleting that from the M-W definition.

Closer to the typical split in the generals: ~75% voting for the D's.

97-3, Obama.

Again, you don't know how to read a dictionary. There are multiple definitions for a reason.
