Oh right, I forgot I vote Democrat because I need the Welfare. Thanks for reminding me. 🙄
I never said you but I asked if you do

So blacks are not supposed to vote now? So its an issue that more blacks are voting, regardless of the reason? I thought it was right that shouldn't have to be justified when used?
I never said you but I asked if you do
So why do you think that in 2008, and 2012 2 million more black voted? It's a simple question really.
Why do you need to ask? You've already come to the conclusion that Blacks vote Democrat because of the handouts. You just said it. Now you have Amnesia?
Hmmm, I'm betting it had something to do with having the right to vote and being encouraged to register.
Wait, that's not it.
It was because there was a Black Democrat running for President.
Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, if Gore got 90% of the black vote in 2000, what is the highest percentage of black people you can claim only voted for Obama because he is black?Are you honestly trying to say that blacks didn't have the right to vote, and no one encouraged them to vote before 2008? Wow, that is incredibly intellectually dishonest of you.
I guess we'll find out next election, or maybe we won't.

Exactly. And also in past years there were better candidates from the republican side to vote for. And as it was already pointed out, Ross Perot was not a bad option back then either.
No candidate has had a voter registration push like Obama has in the history of politics. He went out and encouraged people to vote and he got people excited to vote in places many candidates wouldn't go. And let me also point out a fact you are over looking, Obama is not the first black candidate in politics.
But that is besides the point. The fact is, its the right of a citizen to vote. So unless you don't want blacks voting, no matter how many or less vote is above reproach.

I am not talking about a percentage, but thanks for playing.
Did he get 2 million black voters to the polls? Why not?
There have been voter registration pushes every election, why in 2008 did 2 million more black voters vote, and why didn't that number go up even higher in 2012? Do you really think that it had nothing to do with Obama being the first black presidential candidate? Wow.
That's because you are intellectually dishonest.I am not talking about a percentage, but thanks for playing.
...
You know thats not what I fucking said and to answer your second question, there was a significant change in voter registration and turnout in the black community in 2008.
But you are.
You sat there and complained
about the 2 million MORE black voters that voted for Obama and increased the popular vote count. If this is not about the percentage of blacks that voted this time around...why are you talking?
Okay, yea, he got black voters to the polls. How does this validate your claims of Racis....oh wait, you aren't talking about that...uh, voting along "color" lines within the black community?
Also, stop being dishonest, 2008 was one of the biggest years for voter registration pushes. I already brought up "Rock the Vote" and "Vote or Die"...so, Im just going to let you google what huge successes those two campaigns were for voter registration.
We'll wait.
That's because you are intellectually dishonest.
And why was that? Was 2008 just the year that they decided to get into it?
10,000,000 more people voted in 2008 vs 2004. Were they all racist? What percentage of the population is black? How close is that to the 20% of the 10,000,000 additional voters that happened to be black? You have the nerve to call me an idiot?ok fine, you are fucking stupid.
lol.
Why was 2008 a year that most young people started to give a damn about voting?
10,000,000 more people voted in 2008 vs 2004. Were they all racist? What percentage of the population is black? How close is that to the 20% of the 10,000,000 additional voters that happened to be black? You have the nerve to call me an idiot?
if there had never been ANY white presidents in the history of america, you'd probably be pretty excited to vote for that first one, wouldn't you?
I'm just going to leave this stuff here. Remember folks, it was only the blacks that turned out in high numbers in 2008. It was all the blacks that showed up to the polls that helped Obama win.

Blacks have been planning this revolt for years. We were just waitin' on a black dude to run for President!
Mr. Bush's unpopularity after eight years in office, the nation's fatigue with the Iraq war and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression - coupled with Mr. Obama's message of change - contributed to the increased turnout for Mr. Obama. He was also helped by a surge in black voters, who had the opportunity to elect the first black president.
Blacks had the highest turnout rate among 18- to 24-year-old voters -- 55 percent, an 8 percent increase from 2004.
