Why is it when 95% blacks vote for a black guy it's not racism against white candidate?

But if 51% of whites vote for the white guy or gal they are the racists? I've never in entire life supported democratic ideology or lame ideas, Im sure as heck not gonna vote for someone only based on their outer appearance!!

Whats the majority blacks voting for 0blama exuse- He looks like me? First black president blah blah blah. The guy is a commie, who is siding with Radical Muslims and having his minions inside the USA attack Christians and they are trying to destroy Christian communities. When the majority of black americans are CHRISTIANS. WAKE UP

Update:

How it working out in African nations with majority black presidents? If someone here is black and refers themselves as Black Africans, why don't they just go back to Africa their "homeland" and praise those black leaders who most of which don't do CRAP for their citizens. We need a black leader in America who LOVES America and LOVES FREEDOM of the people. 0bama isn't that guy!!!

    Because blacks always vote around 95% in support of Democratic candidates.

    We don't call you "racist" for voting against Obama. We call you "racist" for being able to lie so easily about Obama. The ease with which you do it makes us think racial bigotry is motivating you to do so.

    So a lot of black people voted for a black guy that talked about hope and change. That's very racist. Notice how previous and present black candidates themselves failed where Obama succeeded. Racist is such an overused term anyway.

    " The guy is a commie"

    Don't forget the muslim socialist from kenya part

    "trying to destroy Christian communities. When the majority of black americans are CHRISTIANS. WAKE UP"

    A lot of christian communities themselves tend to be hypocrites. How can people preach about acceptable and fairness but look at the homeless like they are above them. A preacher even demonstrated this months ago. There's also a high number of non-black people who also value christianity, and use it as leverage to not allow same-sex relations. When people think of chistians, they see a lot of white people, especially when it comes to the politicians that do most of the oppression. You don't hear black people all up on the news and stuff making those kinds of comments. Doesn't matter what color the leader is. The citizens have to stop expecting the president to solve everything when they themselves don't take the time to solve their own problems.

    " If someone here is black and refers themselves as Black Africans, why don't they just go back to Africa their "homeland" and praise those black leaders who most of which don't do CRAP for their citizens"

    Doing so doesn't prove much. You can be black and go to africa, and then once you get there, you'll realize how different you are from them and will generally be an outcast. A lot of people have done this and experienced the same results.

    One way to get around the opposing argument that 90 to 95 of the blacks vote for the Democratic candidate all the time, which was why they overwhelmingly supported Obama in the 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections is to point out the results of the 2008 Democratic Primary. In 2008, Obama received 85.9% of the African American vote over Hillary Clinton to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee. Hillary Clinton's popularity had been very high with the blacks up until Obama came along. She had more experience and is about as far left as he is. It's obvious that race played an important role in the way that the blacks casted their votes in that nomination. It seems like there's a pattern in which the blacks appear to be more than willing to support a less qualified candidate simply because they are the only black liberal candidate, even if it means electing someone who is incompetent. If anybody else had the same mentality they would be branded as a racist.

    Claims of racism currently favor the liberal Democrats. So, obviously they see the world as racist because it's a favorable way to see the world.

    And, the blacks applaud the liberals giving it to the white man.

    The fact that there is really no substance to the claims is immaterial. It's just politics.

    I don't think that voting for a white guy just because he's white is racism; any more than I think that voting for a female candidate just because she is female is sexism.

    It's what happens afterward that is the problem. Or haven't you noticed the appalling and disturbing amount of anti-black racism that bubbled up to the service right before and after the 2008 election? And how it continues and gets even worse?

    Since you think you have all of the answers why don't you run mouth almighty. Obama is a bad President. But a President is suppose to help all races in this country not just one race.

    You assume that, when many black people vote for a black candidate, their votes were based on racism. What evidence do you have to suggest this? The mantra "correlation does not equal causation" really can't be repeated enough.

    There are way bigger fish to fry. As we speak, Some of our Congress people are selling out to O. I wonder if their sons and daughters might someday to drafted to kill Americans/Christians.
