If an super qualified Asian American run would you vote for him?

[Danno 1,228]

Huh? What's confusing about it? In this post, someone said Democrats vote based on race. I asked for proof of that. There's no kidding anyone. It's really very simple, Danno. Go back and read it. I promise it's there.

You call his contention of "people voted for Obama because he was Black" into question.... yet you do the same exact thing with groups on the Right.

That aside, had it been a white Dem running the Blacks would have also voted in huge proportions for them so I don't think they voted for him "just because he is Black"

but I can say with certainty that the "surge" in Black voter turn out in the last two elections was almost exclusively due to his race.

But so what, thats a reality, probably Catholics turned out in greater numbers for Kennedy.

It's a reality.... one that would somehow be wrong if whites did it due to race.

Someone posted that Obama got 94% of the black vote. All I did was ask how many of those voted based purely on race. I've said it numerous times, there are people who voted for Obama because he's black. There are also people who did not vote for Obama because he's black. You're right, that is a reality.

But to make a blanket statement that Democrats in general vote based on race is incorrect.

And if Romney had gotten 94% of the white vote what would some people be saying? Do the math. 94 out of every 100. Ya that's nothing to think about eh.

Like I said, some people vote based on race. To generalize and say it's an entire party is incorrect.

Some? 94 out of every 100 doesn't ring any bells?

They did not vote based on race. African Americans have supported the Democratic candidate at 90%+ levels for a long time no matter the color of the skin of the candidate. Get yer facts straight. It'll help manage your paranoia.

The primary? Really? That's the best you got to try and refute facts? Poor guy.

Again. You do not know that 94 out of every 100 voted based on race. Just because they are also black does not mean the that is the reason they voted for Obama.

Well, they sure didn't vote that way for getting them all jobs. Blacks lost jobs under Obama. Maybe it was all the free stuff.

I agree Democrats do not vote based on race usually. Blacks I disagree with you on that. Blacks had to stick together at all costs during segregation and Jim Crowe. They still do. It's a unity thing. Marion Berry !

Oh you mean like when white people rallied around this guy.

[himher 634]

Like Bobby Jendal?

Yup

Hypothetically speaking, if an Asian American who is capable of getting the unemployment rate down to 2%, capable of turning the deficit into a surplus, would you vote for this dude?

You can also post your reason of why you don't want it. I'm curious.

Two current governors, both in Southern States -- enough said!
