This election is clearly divided by race and ethnicity
sure it's divided by other things as well, but this is a big factor.
Mitt is winning decisively among white voters while the President is winning overwhelmingly with minorities.
<snip>
But all of the focus on these groups has obfuscated one fact: Mitt Romney is performing very, very well among white voters. And in fact, most recent polls show him winning the white vote by more than any GOP presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan.
Some recent national polls have shown Romney losing the Latino vote by upwards of 40 or 50 points – a result that, if it came to pass, would significantly hurt the GOP’s chances of winning the White House, given the rapid growth in the Latino population.
But even if Romney sustains a huge loss on the Latino vote, he could very well offset that (and much more) by out-performing his Republican predecessors when it comes to white voters, which are still about seven times as much of the electorate as Latinos. Indeed, it’s not unreasonable to think that Romney could win 60 percent or more of white voters this year.
The most recent national polls from four pollsters — Gallup, Monmouth University, Fox News and the Pew Research Center — all show Romney winning the white vote by more than 20 points. That’s something no GOP presidential candidate has done since Reagan’s landslide 1984 reelection win.

1. There are people in this country who still can't get over the Civil War. That should speak volumes.
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and most Democrats come to mind.

Yeah, racism makes me sick too.
That's why it's important to get rid of the most racially-divisive president in American history.

So getting 60% of the white vote is racist, but getting 90% of the black vote is not racist.
Only in bizarroworld. :mental:

Let's hope Bishop Jackson makes some headway with the black community;
A short message from Bishop E.W. Jackson to fellow black Christians about the evil being done by the Democrat party.

Your racist schtick doesn't work anymore and you only have yourselves to blame.

And his AG, who is even worse on that score.

Can someone help me out: isn't Col. West the only black representing a majority white district in congress? Shouldn't that tell them something about racism?
-
+ 20 point advantage with whites is racist.
+ 95 point advantage with blacks is not racist.
Bottom line is if you do not vote straight democrat party ticket you are a racist, sexist, homophobe.
Like BEG said, the word racist means nothing to me and 80% of all whites in the USA. At least 0bama did that.

If the muslim only gets 90% of the black vote, it will be a Romney landslide.
There's no way Romney can win 10% of the blacks. They're more racist than Josef Goebbels.

Here's what I found when I Nadined my question:
http://prospect.org/article/what-about-black-republicans
From the comments section:
IMO effective representation trumps racial diversity every time. I'd rather have Steve Cohen representing me than Tim Scott and I'll take Ruth Bader Ginsburg over Clarence Thomas every time. President G. W. Bush was good for putting many non-white males in power while promoting & enforcing policies that harmed most non-white males,
Because as we all know, Sheila Jackson-Lee and her ilk have been very effective representatives for blacks in congress. :lol: :mental: That goes for all democrats "representing" blacks.

Reminds me of the town in Kansas that won a major diversity award...because it's all African-American. :mental:

Wow.
You got black folk down in Kansas?
We got them up here, too; we work with them, socialize with them, dine and golf and hunt with them, and vote with them.
Most of the time, though, we know them for six months or even a year, before we incidentally notice their skin color.

^^^the above mentioned for the illumination of the sparkling old dude, in case he's lurking.

The Italians and the Russians really stand out, though. :whistling:

If it takes racism to get that evil anti-American jackass out of the White House then God Bless racism!

Good one, sir. Awesome.

I would really like to se a DUmpmonkey actually post in CC, as to why it's racist to vote against someone in office, because we disagree with his policies.
I would also like that DUmpmonkey to explain why it isn't racist to vote for someone just because of their skin color.
Any lurking DUmmies feel up to the challange?
I thought not.
DUmmies lie, alsays, DUmmies lie.

Nicodemus is our diversity capital, being all one race. In the rest of Kansas, we tend to live happily alongside neighbors of any color. Why, we even get along with those of different religions and political views! Just like Nebraska. :-)

My bet is that black Nebraskans go for the jug-eared muslim at the same rate as blacks nationwide, i.e., 95+%.
Politically, they're a monolith of dependence.
