Do Black People Support Obama Because He’s Black?

Barack Obama American flag SC Do Black People Support Obama Because He’s Black?

Surviving slavery, segregation and discrimination has forged a special pride in African-Americans. Now some are saying this hard-earned pride has become prejudice in the form of blind loyalty to President Barack Obama.

Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he’s black? If race is just one factor in blacks’ support of Obama, does that make them racist? Can blacks’ support for Obama be compared with white voters who may favor his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, because he’s white?

These questions have long animated conservatives who are frustrated by claims that white people who oppose Obama’s policies are racist. This week, when a black actress who tweeted an endorsement of Romney was subjected to a stream of abuse from other African-Americans, the politics of racial accusation came full circle once again.

Stacey Dash, who also has Mexican heritage, is best known for the 1995 film “Clueless” and the recent cable-TV drama “Single Ladies.” On Twitter, she was called “jigaboo,” ”traitor,” ”house nigger” and worse after posting, “Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future.”

The theme of the insults: A black woman would have to be stupid, subservient or both to choose a white Republican over the first black president.

  1. ODumbo is also half White you stupid racist moron’s!!!! I hope Stacey Nash doesn’t let all those pathetic loosers get to her. I respect a strong woman like her and I say “GOOD FOR YOU STACEY!” you are a brave woman of substance!

  2. African American’s need to wake up and realize that Obama is not African American black, he is Arab and a Muslim Arab at that and if anyone of you are interested in learning what Arab Muslim’s did for a living, you can Google that question or read on. The answer is that they traded in African American’s as slaves.

    While you are at it, Google who started the KKK, the answer is guess what the Democrats and if you want to know who put the Jim Crow Law into effect, guess what….you got it, the Democrats.Wake up folks, things are not what they seem to be, Obama is NOT the first African American in the White House, he is however the first Muslim Arab in the White House and he needs to go, the sooner the better for all, both whites as ell as blacks.

  3. O recommend every black American, regardless of party, go to PJTV and check out Alfonzo Rachael at ZoNation. Best explanations for why blacks vote for the Dems.

  4. It is my opinion that the reason that they vote for him is because of race. The Dems have a track record of giving this country away a piece at a time and now is no exception. They love the free phones and one woman has over 30 free phones. I often wonder if they would have voted for (ret) Gen, Colin Powell.

  5. To show how smart some people can be , Obama is not from Slaves, no where in his background is slavery involved, oops I’m wrong, he is a msulim and they were the first slave traders but that doesn’t have anything ot do with Barrack Obama. A lot of whites vvoted for Obama in 20008 and a lo to fmy friends were among them, How anyone can vote for a man, any man, any color, who refuses to salute the American flag or say the pledge with their hand over their heart is beyond me, no one should have voted for him just for that alone. You want to be President of the USA then you salute the flag or get out. No one showed Obama any prejudice when he ran, his Mother was white, His Grandparents were white, and he lived in a nice home . He seems ot have always been dressesdd well and well fed and had whateveer it was he needed , except honesty and loyalty to his own country or this country. Obama was a Muslim and still is, I wouldn’t vote for him because he was the Senator in my town , Chicago, and I didn’t like his votes on anything, he was all for abortions then , leave them to die on a shelf Obama. I never saw him otherwise, he stayed in the black section and didn’t come to tth esuburbs of the Morthwest so I never even got a peek. In all honesty, I htink he’s prejudiced against whites. He has used Hollywood as vote getters , and the Hip hop crowd, he aims at the younger people, Now he has a bunch oif ignorant women who think you should discuss your sex life with your emplyer and get birth control pills from your medical insurance at work, I would not have even asked my boss for a thing like that, I doubt he would have given it to me anyway, a box is aobut 10.00 isn’t it? You got a job so pay fo rit. you wan thim ot buy your sanitary napkins too? Liberals are slobs. yeah yeah , I know, but they are. Medical insurance is just that, not girls night party aids, sex is not an illness.

  6. BLACKS SUPPORT OBAMA FOR 3. REASONS……1. BLACK…..2. FREE STUFF? 3. ALL ABOUT SLAVERY IS NOTHING BUT B.S. ITS OVER WE DON’T HAVE SLAVES, WE NEVER OWNED SLAVES & THATS THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE IS WHITE & SLAVERY, ALL THEY WANT NOT IS ANOTHER CHECK????
