Question

Here's where I got my info.

Answer 1

It's obvious that there is another reason besides race that people are voting for Obama.

I don't vote, but if I did, it would be for Obama

Answer 2

Racism?

Answer 3

Obama is awesome and if he became president it would make history

Answer 4

Because this isn't a race war it's an election.

Answer 5

there are a lot of black people that are NOT voting for Obama.

Answer 6

Obama is half white half black, OH wait Im sorry I guess if hes a little darker you have to throw him to the other side? You people are retarded.

If you want to make this a race thing, then the fact that Obama is half white and black is to his advantage, he is a TRUE american because he understands what it means to come from both sides of the track, and not just one.  

Answer 7

Some, perhaps many, people of color are voting for Obama just because he's black.  Some white people are voting for McCain only because he is white.  ALL voters should vote for the candidate that they feel will do the best job.  

Answer 8

Because McCain doesn't really care, he's just in for some asss and some fun!

Answer 9

The blacks feel they have been cheated on the American dream; fact is they kept them selves in slavery by living in the past.

White voters will come through in the end; they always do.

Answer 10

Maybe there hasn't ever been a candidate who was Black. If all the presidents had been all Black I bet Whites would vote the same way. The same goes for women, why did Mc Cain choose Palin?

Answer 11

Those statistics are not on that site.

Answer 12

African American mostly vote democrat, how many blacks voted for Allen Keys when he ran? None because he is a republican  

Answer 13

That's about to change.  

Answer 14

Maybe they've been screwed too many times by the republicans.

Answer 15

That's registered Dems c'mon you need to educate yourself on what your writing!  

Answer 16

Well, I hate to state the obvious, but it's because blacks are more racist against whites, than the other way around.

They're are OBVIOUSLY voting skin color.

Sorry kids, but that is racism.

Answer 17

I think the election is not about skin colors, yet who represents and stands for what you believe. I think these allegations are there to make people scare and feel guilty.

All blacks stop @ the gas stations so do whites.

All whites go to the groceries store so do blacks.

we are all one nation, we'll save together or sink together.

Answer 18

Those 91% of African Americans are rooting for Obama for obvious reasons.  It would be historic if he won.  However, many are not voting based on issues, which is sad.

Answer 19

Blacks haven't figured out yet that Obama isn't one of them. Obama is a Muslim Arab terrorist attempting to HI-JACK the White House.

McCain/Palin '08

Oh yeah. Biden, Obama, McCain approval rating = 9%

Palin approval rating = 80%

Go figure.

Answer 20

I will tell you why in simple terms. They are voting for him because he's black. Oh but wait, it's not about race. Unless it favors their argument of course.

McCain/Palin 08

Answer 21

if you check your stats more of every culture are rooting for obama because obama represents everyone ...Obama is not only black but he is white..has a white mother and has been raised in a white family ...hello ....we have to get off of this image and skin color thing and look at the real picture..what these people are about and what they stand for ...wake up ...we should be passed this image and race issue by now..lets focus on real issues.

Answer 22

There are 10s of millions more whites than African Americans and they aren't all xxxxcentric.

Answer 23

I hope Obama wins and McCain is the new bush ?? so We need a new person to work at the Office and does a better job than McCain. and Obama is good cause He nows what's he doing while McCain just is the same as Bush so that's why  

Answer 24

Because word on the street is it's the "cool" thing to do.

Answer 25

blacks are voting based on race. Period. You can't deny the statistics.

Answer 26

Because 91 percent of blacks are smarter than 49 percent of whites.  Because 91 percent of blacks and 51 percent of whites know that 100 percent of McCain is 95 percent of Bush, and they're 100 percent against that!

Answer 27

Uh, no, mande, that's racial discrimination.

But the principle is still the same.

Answer 28

Maybe because most African Americans are Democrat, while whites are more evenly divided.

Answer 29

McCain, Bush & Co are in the wrong party.  They don't care about the state of affairs America is in.  It is all about power, money and oil and it would be wise to step back and take a look at what has happened to our country in the last 8 years.
