I'm sick and tired of reading and responding to this nonsense, especially when it is coming from progressives. This disingenuous claim that BO’s 90% support from AAs is a reflection of his race is utterly ridiculous.
How about the fact that over 75% of whites voted for Hillary, what does that mean oh great one? Why didn't Ferraro or any of the other purveyors of this 90% statistic say Hillary is lucky to be white then since she gets overwhelming % of white votes? Why didn't she say that Hillary is lucky to be old because an overwhelming majority of old voters support her? How about the % of women voting for her, is she lucky to be a woman too and why didn't Ferraro say that too? We should always be wary of these correlational arguments!!
When AAs vote 90% for democrats in the GEs, they do it because they are black not based on the issues, right? I find it highly insulting to read this nonsense. When a lot of people were yapping at the beginning of this election that Barack was not black enough and the polls showed more support for Hillary even among the AA community, I didn't see these morons coming out to claim he is lucky to be black. Suddenly now that he is getting a big majority, it is because he is black and not because he is a winner, or that he is charismatic. Has nothing to do with the fact that he was against this stupid war and an overwhelming majority of AAs is against this stupid war. Has nothing to do with his solid grass root movement/organization or that people want change not same ol' same ol'. No, AAs support him because he is black. Idiots!!!
Hillary now gets the share of the AA vote given to Republicans. Her campaign began their decline among the AA community when they started making these insensitive comments like Bills' trivialization of the SC vote. In light of the highly publicized kitchen-sink-toilet strategy, why should the black community continue to reward such a behavior? This in addition to the reasons for supporting BO that I listed above, why are people surprised that his majority support among AAs is rising?
