I understand your reluctance to answer the question, but that doesn't change the fact that you aren't.

Posted by 101Chairborne at 2008-05-08 02:55 PM"

I did answer that question. The GOP, with its history of racism, needs to do something to earn the vote away from the Dems. They haven't, so they don't get the vote. If you want that to change, then encourage the GOP to change its policies, don't denigrate Blacks for not voting for a party that has done nothing positive for them.

Rob - that does not mean Blacks are "incapable" of voting for someone who is not Black. (I know that "incapable" is not your word, it's Chairborne's).

Chairborne: why should a Black vote for Hillary over Obama? I see their policies as being pretty much the same, so given this why is it not okay for them to vote for a Black person without haivng to be called "incapable"?

"By the way, tell me, have things gotten better or worse for blacks ever since they've voted lockstep Dems?

Posted by 101Chairborne at 2008-05-08 02:44 PM"

You'd think with all those efforts of the GOP to pass legislation to help Blacks, that things would have gotten better. Wonder what gives?

How many people have you cast your vote for for President who were not white males, Rob and 101? None?!? Fucking locksteppers!

I think Cbob hit the nail on the head:

"If black voters believe they finally have a qualified black candidate running for president, why shouldn't they be in lockstep for him? A historically oppressed group of people finally has a chance to see someone like them in the White House. Any other election, yeah, they'd be pulling the lever for Hillary. Maybe even 2012. But this time, hell, baby, you think they're gonna pass on this opportunity?"

Doesn't that make more sense than saying Blacks are "incapable" of voting in their best interest?

Using your numbers, if Blacks are "incapable" of voting out of lockstep, how do you explain the 6%? Are they not really Black? Or were they born without the Incapable Gene, or what?

Between your semantics and Frito's racist pictures, Hillary must be cracking a secret smile.

Yup, Joe. Now you should leave this insane asylum and go study.

Sucks to have done all that to no avail, huh Rob? You'd think putting a couple of Uncle Toms into high places would bring the rest of the Blacks around, but.... Poor GOP.

Joe - perhaps it is just a matter of inertia. Even if it is, and I am not convinced of that, inertia is a reality.

Yes, Corky, but not near as effective as saying that Blacks only vote for Obama because of his skin color (i.e., they're not smart enough to see that Hillary is actually a better candidate for them.... perhaps if they weren't Black, they could see that...), just like with Jesse Jackson.

"I hope not. the GOP has done nothing to earn anybody's vote.

Posted by eberly at 2008-05-08 02:12 PM"

Joe - given its well-documented history, in order for the GOP to earn the Black vote, they must do something for Blacks other than say that the housing programs, support of affirmative action, and other social programs promoted by Dems are ineffective. I think the onus is upon the GOP to woo the Black vote. Have they done anything to do so?

"It should be more about his socialism and proposed policies.

Kerrin - Obama is not a socialist. His policies are less progressive than Hillary's (part of the reason I will happily vote for Hillary, if she somehow finagles the nomination). He is not "the most liberal Senator," or even one of the ten most liberal. You need to turn of Hannity and Rush, and stop spouting such nonsense.

Do your own fucking research, Joe. You are asking people to write small novels in order to answer your questions. (Law school exam time, isn't it?)

FINALLY, Corky concedes defeat. I'm sure she feels better now, having gotten that off her fun bags.

Don't get me wrong, Rob. I'm not saying no Blacks voted for Obama because of his skin color. What I am saying is that not all Blacks voted for Obama because of his skin color, and that Blacks are perfectly "capable" (in 101's thinly veiled language) of voting for a party other than the Dem party, if that other party truly supported their causes. The GOP has proven otherwise, over and over again, for decades, so they don't get the Black vote. And they don't get the Black vote even when a whitey is the Dem candidate.

No, Rob, some of those women like sipping lattes and analyzing their trust funds, so of course they voted for Obama, because that's the only people besides Blacks who support him.

"2) His biggest voterbase are trust fund collegiates and black people of all financial stripes. While the first group may be among the loudest, they are by far a minority. So are black people in general (a minority)."

Well, since those two groups together don't make up any where near a majority of Dem voters, how do you explain the fact that Obama is ahead of Hillary, and that she can't win without the help of politicians bucking the will of the primary voters?

"Now how about you explain how 94% of them voting for Obama, when no other group favors either candidate that strongly isn't about race?

Posted by Rob_The_A_Hole at 2008-05-08 01:18 PM"

For the same reason that, if you were faced with a decision between two people who had much the same policies where one was a white, male computer geek married to a doctor who was a huge Eagles fan, and the other was a hispanic woman who was a big Patriots fan, you would vote for the former. People tend to favor those most like them, and that applies to Blacks, whites, jocks, doctors, cops, steelworkers, union members, etc. etc. etc.

But, Rob, Obama was Black when this poll was taken, wasn't he?

"Among black registered Democrats overall, Clinton had a 57 percent to 33 percent lead over Obama."

You still haven't explained why Blacks fled from Clinton, who they favored, to Obama. Was it because they didn't know he was Black when that poll was taken, or or that Obama wasn't Black back then?

"Your lame deflections don't change the fact that blacks are lockstep voters and incapable of being anything else. History is on my side.

Posted by 101Chairborne at 2008-05-08 12:52 PM"

Incapable? What an idiot.

Does it ever occur to you that perhaps Blacks make a conscious choice to avoid voting for Republicans, because Republicans' policies are contrary to those sought by Blacks? Is that so hard for you to wrap your mind around, that you have to go racist and claim Blacks are incapable of voting in their best interest?

You're better when you're trying to be funny, 101. When you try to have a serious discussion, you don't come off so well.
