Default Obama's Approval Rating: 91% Among Blacks, 36% Among Whites

Are 36% of whites not racist, or 9% of blacks not racist?

Remember Mr. Obama is not part of what most folks equate to americans of african decent. He was born of a white american woman and a black Kenyon man. His family does not have any history of American slavery.

No it is not, liking or disliking Obama, who is black, does not automatically make one a ****ign racist. There are several other valid and invalid reasons to like or dislike the man.

Edit: Your question is a prime example of a non sequitur

Name them. Based upon the poll, not what you want the world to be.

Let's see. Most blacks are Democrat, most whites are Republican.

That poll does not show wether the people who like or dislike obama are racist or not. It does not even touch on the issue. Some of the people who answered probably are racist, be they black or white or any other skin tone for that mater.
What you are doing is commiting a logical fallacy known as the fallacy of the undistributed middle. Or to care it out of wood for you and to paint it red (if that was too difficult for you to follow, I am now going to explain it to you in very simple terms, using big, friendly letters, don't panic)
You are saying that because person A belongs to group B and dislikes Obama, and because some people in group B who also dislike Obama are racist therefore person A is racist. Your logic is flawed, good sir.

I do. It gives insite to the American electorate and why they vote the way they do.

Blacks vote based on color, not what the person does for them politically. Whites vote based on color, not what the person does for them politically.

But I suspect it is a Democrat poll used to divide the electorate based on race. It is an Obama/Democrat tactic.

I believe this is the point where we ask you to prove that silly statement, you spout out something incoherent and we just give up.
