Can someone explain to me why it is so racist and horrible that 70% of white voters are backing Romney, yet no one ever bothers to mention the fact that 95%+ of African-Americans are backing Obama? Now, I understand they traditionally vote Democratic anyways (Same could be said with white voters on the GOP), but Obama has certainly received a much higher % than previous Democratic candidates, and turnout amongst African-Americans was way up in 2008.

It's just something I've never quite understood. Maybe I'm not being politically correct, but oh well.

When my aunt went to canvas for Obama in 2008 she told me about some of the horrible racist things people would say about Obama. Do you think either McCain or Romney had or has  that problem?

I'm sure that 99.9 of African-Americans voters  would be willing to vote for a white candidate who shares their values, while a sizable percentage of White Ohioans would NEVER vote for a black under any circumstance.

There is your difference my friend.
