Does anyone know the percentage population of blacks in this country, I believe it is 12%, so even if every black person including black children voted for Obama so WHAT.



12.4% African-Americans 56% live in SOUTHERN states.
76% White-Americans
Are you saying that 56% of the black population live in the south?
:smile: Yes she is right.:smile:
Interesting, but my point was it is a small percentage of the voters.

Now I would like to bring up how would voting for some one because of their race be any different than voting for someone because of their religion?
flowerforyou If there are African Americans voting because of Obamas race, there is nothing wrong with that. flowerforyou Black people have voted for whites for decades. And Obama is a good candidate, regardless of race. Its not different than the republicans that vote for religion.Obama being president wont change much for black people except for the fact that perhaps he would be a positive role model for African Americans.:smile: Showing the African American youth could make it to the top with a positive mindset.:smile: Thats all.:smile:
