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. |
It is different because it implied that all of these racist latino people all got together, somehow avoiding detection, and conspired to conciously vote for a candidate that they do not want to win, just so the other racist hispanic people in California will vote for the white guy in November. Because these racist hispanic people are only racist against blacks, not whites. It's ludicrous.
To suggest that a black person would vote for another person because they are black is very different than that wild series of assumptions you would have to make in order to get to the point that you think all hispanic voters who vote for Obama do so only so McCain will get elected.
