Why did Blacks vote almost 90% for Obama over H. Clinton in the 2007 Primairies?

Blacks loves bill clinton and hiliary clinton( democrats) for decades But they Will vote obama over the clintons anyday of the week!

Why? Because race matters! When obama was still running for president he was labelled as uncle tom, white guy in a blackman skin or not black enough by the naacp, al sharpton , jesse jackson etc. But now since he is president al sharpton mouth is shut.

It is a VERY GOOD thing to see a african-american as a president BUT the problem is obama is half white , half KENYAN! He is NOT a decendants of african americans who were slaves, cotton picking and civil rights that change american

In a fair note.. On the presidential race hillary was actually leading over obama. But it was democratic whites that voted obama over hillary clinton. Hillary clintons and obama policy arent that much different anyway. So you as well vote for the 1st black president.

Obama: change we can believe in.. yes we can!....... Its 2013 he coudnt fully deliver on his promise.

Too many unrealistic promises. But Atleast the navy seals kill bin laden under his adminitration and he got our troops home and rebuild american reputation around the world after we illegaly invaded iraq who has No weapons of mass destruction.

You skipped Kerry. They voted approx 80 5% for Kerry. yet no longer all Republicans say that blacks voted for Obama basically because he replaced into black. in user-friendly words those who heard that ninety 5% of Blacks voted for Obama without understanding how blacks many times vote for absolutely everyone with an (D) through their call, even at the same time as a Black is operating on the Republican fee ticket. i'm a conservative and that i have frequently corrected those who made this mistake.

You already know the answer to your question. Lots of people voted based on race. Obama is the first black president. Really? NOT!! Mothers count for something. His mother is white.

Perhaps Thomas Jefferson was right ....

"Comparing them [blacks] by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me, that in memory they are equal to whites; in reason, though, much inferior, as I think one [black] could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, and anomalous."

Hence a vote with no thought whatsoever. Obama is black. Vote black.

They voted for Obama because he's half black.

They play the race card.

If not for racism, Obama would have gotten 90% of the vote from every race.

The same reason most of them think Zimmerman should have been found guilty.

Racism exists with blacks more than any other race.

I don't see your link with the statistics, and I don't think this is what happened. Most black folks were Hillary supporters well into the campaign.
