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.

Look at the poll.

No one has explained the disparity in the poll. I am open to an arguement.

The poll entirely lacks the piece of information required to even measure race. It needs to look at racial difference within the democratic party. 90-something % of blacks are democrats, and 90-something % approve.

~30-something % of whites are democrats, and around 30-something % approve. Nothing to see here, move along—or is there something there that the poll doesn't tell us?

Actually, the fact that blacks monolithically vote for one party IS a sign of a racial bias on their part. Since other groups are "normally" spread among different political values (even across income levels), it is odd for a group not to be. A large % must pull the "D" lever without thinking about it at all.

If black support for BO is significantly higher than white democrat support for BO, then is certainly shows they like him for his race as a primary factor I think. Need that data, though.

All the poll breakout says is that generically, Democrat support is 79%. That is weighted by the increased black support, so clearly white, democratic support is below 79%.

That does show a real divide. I think that it certainly points out the racism of the black voters, actually. They support BO at rates higher than other democrats, and his race is a likely reason.

Team D sells envy. Team R sells fear. The wise will see the discrepancy therein.

Team T sells real values and real hope.

Dowly, you must be psychic.

@The Third Man
While it is probably true that some black people support obama because he is black this poll does not actually support that, it does not touch upon the issue as the question asked was wether they suppoert Obama not if the support Obama because he is black. It does not support the sweeping generalisation you made.

So if I assume folks in group B are not racist, then folks in group A are? How about the arguement that both groups are racist. One group votes and polls along those lines more than others and are more racist.
