Why do people claim Barack Obama calls himself Black to win Black votes, when only 13% of voters are black?

i know, and seeing as blacks are minority even if only black people voted for him he wouldnt have won

with the aid of fact they by no ability took the time to do the maths. Btw, there are approximately 13% entire of all African-people in this usa. That huge form incorporates toddlers, little ones, and others who're no longer the right age to vote. So African-people on my own did no longer placed President Obama into place of work.

Obama is half black. His momma is white and he is just as much a part of his mother then his father. Obama is the first son of an immigrant to become president. His father is African and from Africa. He has no cultural connection to American blacks apart from his DNA.

Barack Obama didn't have to say anything, as it was already prevalent that the minorities 'Blacks' would vote for their 'brotha'.

Well you have to remember that that 13% is a very huge important chunk.

Correct, not even 13 %.Many many are not even eligible to vote.For a variety of reasons.Felonies being one reason.The white vote is what put him in office & I was not one of them.

Latinos and Asians could have voted for him also..

racist don't think
