Hi zom. I’m not sure if I understand your point in that comment.
It is apparently true that something over 95% of Black Voters voted for Obama and that made sense to me - if I were a Black man, I’d a voted for him too because he was the first Black American to run for POTUS. And frankly I’m not sure what you’d consider wrong with that. I mean, if we’d had other Black Presidents or Black Presidential candidates I would not have voted for Obama just on his lack of experience and the other things that came up during the campaign that made me suspect he wouldn’t be able to deal appropriately with the proverbial “3:00Am phone call” Sorta like JFK and Roman Catholics, you know?

At the end of the day voting for someone because of the color of their skin is just as racist as voting against someone because of the color of their skin.
