Maybe they just don't live in your neighborhood.
Who are these uberminority folks within a minority of the electorate ?

I can't imagine the pressures on them to hush up and join the minority.

WTF are you talking about?

If you have a point, please stop trying to be erudite and simply say it. It doesn't become you.

The near unanimous support by the black electorate for the black president has

nothing to do with race.



Got it.

Why would it.
They vote for what's in their best interests.
It's a pity white voters can't figure that one out.

No, you haven't got it. The voting demographics for Obama include much of the black electorate along with parts of every other voter demographic including Hispanics, women, gays, religious moderates and surprise, lots of white folks. Romney's support base includes old white men with 1950's mindsets, teabaggers and xenophobes, bigots, racists, misogynists and gun nuts.

Maybe if Romney had made a priority of addressing the challenges facing an evolving America in the 21st century rather than pandering to cynics and regressive ideologues, whose sole mission in life was to get rid of Obama, he might have been the one making the victory speech.

Carry on..

No actually it's not just that an awful lot of white people are really stupid it's that they are also cowardly and dishonest through their mommy media and government that make them chant in their minds that race doesn't matter or even so far as if race doesn't exist.
Plain fact, race does exist, race does matter. Race is a plain fact. Race does not inheritently include supremacy or hate or any other evil that mommy media and mommy government wants its stupid followers to believe.

and one side of that is good? (even though you showed your bias by leaving out equal wild cards for one side)

But the triumph of “post-racial” Democratic politics has not been a triumph for African-Americans in the aggregate.

28 percent of African-Americans, and 37 percent of black children, are poor (compared with 10 percent of whites and 13 percent of white children);

13 percent of blacks are unemployed (compared with 7 percent of whites);

more than 900,000 black men are in prison;

blacks experienced a sharper drop in income since 2007 than any other racial group;

black household wealth, which had been disproportionately concentrated in housing, has hit its lowest level in decades;
