The truth is out there.

Well I see the real racism in this country has been unmasked. less than 5% of African Americans will vote for Mccain(white), while 41% of White Americans will vote for Barack (black). Whats your spins on it?

Uhm... I'm almost certain that black people deal with a lot more racism than white people do. I'm white and I've never been offended in that type of way.

McCain is a republican and historically black people have favored democratic candidates? Mostly because they're not out to make the rich richer...

my spin?

obama>mccain

maybe black people don't want to vote mccain because he's dumb, not because he's white.

McCain is a conservative republican, traditionally many African-Americans have not voted republican.
While the white voters are traditionally split.
Surely this comes as no surprise.
According to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies 2002 political survey, 63 percent of blacks self-identified as Democrats , 24 percent as independentsand 10 percent as Republicans.
Another JCPES survey gives these percentages...
race democrat republican
White 47% 51%
African-American 89% 10%
Latino 69% 30%
Asian 62% 37%
Other (2%) 55% 42%

So you believe that the voting trends indicate race preference. These statistics are from 2002 BEFORE there was an African-American running for President.
Come on rickd, this isn't racism.
It is traditional voting preferences...

well look at their side (if this reasoning is even correct)
If there were black presidents all throughout history and finally a strong, smart and well rounded white man came along, who would you vote for?

its the same on their side. Also, McCain just is a terrible choice for president in general, so maybe its their belief that Barack is a better leader that drives their decisions.

Also, be careful that the statistics you have are correct and accurate

do you just want a racist response? if you just want me to put something to p*ss off black people, I'd say that blacks don't want mccain in office because he's against the welfare system, and without that blacks couldn't make it in america. you want my REAL thoughts on the matter? I think most blacks consider obama a sellout who just wants to be whitey. they're voting for him because they like what he stands for. have fun being racist.

The statistics have nothing to do with race, they have to do with party. That is just rickd's spin on this. lol. rickd. come on.
It is Republican v. Democrat.

real racism is keeping a class of citizens dependent on government support like; welfare, and afirmative action. that is the dems way of controlling certain groups of citizens.

Myth: People on welfare are usually black, teenage mothers who stay on ten years at a time.
Fact: Most welfare recipients are non-black, adult and on welfare less than two years at a time.
According to the statistics, whites form the largest racial group on welfare; half of all welfare recipients leave in the first two years; and teenagers form less than 8 percent of all welfare mothers.
Here is the breakdown of people on welfare -

Race
---
White 38.8%
Black 37.2
Hispanic 17.8
Asian 2.8
Other 3.4

Time on AFDC
---
Less than 7 months 19.0%
7 to 12 months 15.2
One to two years 19.3
Two to five years 26.9
Over five years 19.6

Number of children
---
One 43.2%
Two 30.7
Three 15.8
Four or more 10.3

Rickd - your myopic view is incorrect. Though is is by a small percentage, WHITES are the largest racial group that is on welfare...
You seem to have some rather glaring misconceptions regarding African-Americans...
That they are the majority on welfare, that they only get ahead and stay ahead by affirmative action, that they would vote for Obama based on his race, implying they do not have the reasoning power or intelligence to make informed decisions...

Racism-
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.
The Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular racial group, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief.
The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: "the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others."

And according to rickd- real racism is keeping a class of citizens dependent on government support like; welfare, and afirmative action. that is the dems way of controlling certain groups of citizens.

You just don't get it, you really don't...

I do not want to "get" your version of the truth. I just found the web-site you pulled your stats from; http://www.huppi.com. That same site also has an article comparing Bush to hitler. You have your philosophies, and I have mine. That is the beauty of America, we do not all have to agree on everything.

Yes, the stats are from that website but if you had bothered to read further they were compiled from the Overview of Entitlement Programs, Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives (U.S. Government Printing Office, 1994).

but you know best...
