Mass conspiracy theories make my head hurt. |
The post I quoted implied that latinos voting against Obama because he black are all racist. My contention is that is true, but that they are no more racist than the blacks who are voting for Obama because he is black.
Nobody in a contest with more than one viable candidate gets 85% of a voting group unless that group is voting on non-substantive reasons. The issues facing black Democrats is not so incongruent with average America that he would see such ridiculous majorities except for the fact that he's black. I watch a lot of news and almost every time they ask a black person why they're voting for Obama the reply is some form of pride.
