AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Actually, there are some black people that support Romney: http://www.washingto...680a9_blog.html

Of course there are, that also was sarcasm but it would be fair to say that a Black not supporting Obama would be rare.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Marvin, his statement alone shows his bigotry by implying that if he were Black, he'd support Obama. This is no different from John Sununu's bigoted comment that Colin Powell only endorsed Obama because he is black. This is the kind of sh!t that the orginal post is talking about. And it's not that there are any of us who are free of our own prejudices, it's just that some here wear them like a badge of honor. They are unashamed and unapologetic. They don't try to rise above it.

You obliviously don't understand statistics and probability. :rofl::rofl: Oh how racist of me to imply Blacks might not represent Romney.

Mitt Romney Is Capturing Zero Percent Of The Black Vote, According To New Poll

My link

Take a guess as to what percentage of black voters Mitt Romney is winning this election. Now take whatever number you've got in your head and go lower.

According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, President Obama is beating his Republican opponent among black voters by a whopping 94 percent to 0 percent. The numbers are pretty brutal for Romney among Latinos, as well: he's losing to the president almost 2 to 1. The poll has President Obama ahead among all registered voters, 48 percent to Romney's 44 percent.

The numbers aren't a complete surprise -- the Republican party has fared poorly with black voters for decades. But there was a moment in the mid-aughts when the GOP was starting to see hints of progress. Both Bob Dole and George W. Bush actively courted conservative black voters and even managed to eke into double digits. (Not a small accomplishment, considering Democrats regularly won 90-plus percent of black voters in national contests for decades.) In 2005, Ken Mehlman, who was then running the Republican National Committee, even apologized to black leaders for the party's use of racially divisive tactics, in a gesture that suggested that Republicans were making a serious play to slice off bits of the black electorate.

But Barack Obama's campaign in the 2008 upended even those meager gains. Obama won 96 percent of the black vote in an election that also saw unprecedented African American turnout.

Mitt Romney addressed the NAACP in July to make his pitch to African Americans. "With 90 percent of African Americans voting for Democrats, some of you may wonder why a Republican would bother to campaign in the African-American community, and to address the NAACP," Romney said to the audience. "Of course, one reason is that I hope to represent all Americans, of every race, creed or sexual orientation, from the poorest to the richest and everyone in between."

Although Romney was greeted with polite applause, he did manage to ruffle some feathers during his address. He was jeered when he said he would repeal president Obama's healthcare law. "If you're looking for a president who will make things better for the African-American community, you're looking at him," Romney said to boos and snickering. One NAACP official claimed that Romney flew in black supporters to applaud him.

On the other side of the ledger, the poll shows the president pulling in around 40 percent of white voters, which would be a historic low for a winning candidate if he's re-elected in November. (No Democrat has won the white vote since 1964, the year President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.) A report released in July found that President Obama would need to improve upon his record 2008 showing with black voters or he would struggle mightily in several key states that remain up for grabs.

Not this stupid sh!t again. Lets recap: People vote for all kinds of reasons - some may vote for Romney because he is NOT Black, some may not vote for him because he is Mormon. But it is telling when people like to single out Black voters as being a single-minded, selective group of voters.

They support Obama at well over a 98% rate. How racist of us to single them out as having the same voting preference for President. Do you really believe the things you post.

Of course there are, that also was sarcasm but it would be fair to say that a Black not supporting Obama would be rare.

Not really that rare, with the exception of Colin Powell and Ms, Dash, I'm sure the majority of blacks in the GOP, all 45 of them are voting for Romney.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

thats exactly what i thought to myself when you posted ANOTHER race baiting thread.

now answer the question. does that mean everyone that is voting for obama because he's black (not white) is bigoted?

Commie is Obsessed with race.

I didn't say you said anything ... I wasn't even responding to you. Relax.

I know but I was responding to you. I am gonna post 3 Rasmussen polls tomorrow just for you ......

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Does what mean this? It's a straw man argument. RHR said that everyone should know he's not black because he supports Romney. He implies that Black people only support Obama because they are Black. That is bigotry. I'm sorry if you don't understand what bigotry is. May I suggest taking a class on sociology?

I never said they support Obama only because he is black, and I did not imply that. Are there some that do. Of course. I guess mainly because they usually support democrats. Who knows.

The fact is a Blacks that supports Romney is rare., so I stand by my statement. That is not prejudice or racist , but a statement of fact.

So is it prejudice to assume a match will light gasoline on fire, or would I be assuming that because 1 out 500,000 times it might not.

Not really that rare, with the exception of Colin Powell and Ms, Dash, I'm sure the majority of blacks in the GOP, all 45 of them are voting for Romney.

Your assuming there are not a lot of blacks in the GOP. By Commies standards you are a racist.

I feel you, but I think with in Run's case, he grew up in a different time and place. We are a bit younger than he is, and most of his statements are reflective of that time. This is why when you combat racism, you have to take in certain factors of who you are talking to. Run has informed me of how he grew up and what he sees, so in theory, he is more a product of his enviroment than being flat out racist. Plus now that you have someone of color in here trying to break down stereotypes, it will help the cause when there can be creative differences and someone can give a different perspective from the inside. It's like Archie Bunker, his remarks and actions reflect a time when you associated certain things because it was all they knew. Remember the episode when he went to a Klan meeting, even though he agreed with some of the teachings, in the end he knew what was right and wrong and made the right call. If we are going to have these discussions, we are going to have to deal with those answers and try to open people's eyes without resorting to fighting.

You know what. I actually agree with you. I did share some very bad things I observed growing up and openly told you how wrong they are. I also told you white people have to accept blame for part of the problem with Black community today. I am hardly Archie Bunker. I have also shared with you some of the hits I took while defending the civil rights of blacks in the GA Guard. I will always be the first to defend the rights of ANYONE who is truly denied their rights. That includes Gays.

You are fairly reasonable and your point about separate black organizations actually gave me pause to think. What I will not condone is pretending their is not a huge problem in the black community. You know exactly what I am talking about. I make no apology for statements like, "Heck I am supporting Romeny, you should have known I was not black. That is a valid statistically supported statement.

I also don't mind saying things like-When a young black male comes into my establishment with his pants hanging down to his knees, his underwear exposed and can't utter an intelligible English statement other than, "you know what I saying". There is a 100% chance he is not going to influence me to give him a job. There is also a 100% chance a white male acting the same way will not get a job.. Yes I have had some of those also. Does that make me a racist. I don't know. My asst Plant Manager is Black., My Shipping Manager is Black, my production clerk is Black, and and are most of my Foreman. I hired all of them at entry level and they busted their ####### and performed to the level they are at. So you be the judge.. Also have an exgirlfriend that is black. Maybe you could ask her if I don't like black people.

P.S. I am married to an Asian woman, so I guess my white supremacy only and racism only extends to black people huh.

I wasn't trying to say you were ole Archie, I was using him as an example. As a person who grew up during that time and saw things that might influence how they see others. It's the same when I was stationed in Germany back in 1997. The perception was we all listened to rap music and talk in broken english, I can't tell you how many times I got asked did I listen to rap music and why didn't I drink alcohol. I sound white on the phone, how dare I try to be rational and showing up on time. It's tiring always having to explain that we are all not the thugs they see on TV. But I can't stand that we continue to act that way when our grandparents went through hell to get an education, now we can't be bothered to show up for class, Miss Parks gave up her freedom to ride the bus, now all we do is sit in the back. It's frustrating seeing how far we've come and yet most of the time we are what holds us back.

The black community has a lot of problems, racism is one of them, but to me it's more self afflicted than anything. I've been through it, but I won't let it stop me. If I can't get to you, I'll go through you and keep moving.

I'm not mad at you not hiring hoodlums, no matter what color they are. Most stereotypes have some truth in them, it's up to us to demolish them with our actions, not just words. And that is why I do the things I do, maybe others will follow suit and change will come.

[Danno 1,228]

I call BS. You claimed you were black. It's as a plain as day for anyone to see. If you had posted that you were Baptist or Mormon, people here would remember that too. You got caught lying about being black and now you're trying to dismiss it as you just being sarcastic. Pathetic.

I agree..BTW by listening you can learn. I thought I would never agree with Al Sharpton on anything. One day he was asked how the black community could be so supportive of M. Jackson despite all the bad things he had done and his bizarre behavior. He then kindly pointed out how so many whites still see Elvis as the greatest rock and roll legend of all times, despite all the bizarre things he did.. The it hit me. Wow he is right.
