    It's all over the place. Just search for the demographics of the 2008 democratic primaries. My memory could be slightly off, but it was in the 95-97% range.

    Again, that is not racism, unless you're saying that a majority of one race voting for a candidate of their race can only be based on a racist mindset

    No preconceived judgement. No adverse opinion either.

    If Hillary won the nomination, she'd have enjoyed similar support from the black voters.

    What's your next absurd claim?

    I'm not saying that. You're either intentionally ignoring the fact that the other demographics were split very closely between Clinton and Obama, or you don't understand what that most likely means. Re-read, look at the stats, use your brain and some deductive reasoning.

    Then you'll hopefully get it.

    See Denny's post right above yours.

    I think that pretty much killed your point

    Sure, if you're completely illiterate like he appears to be. I'll say it again:

    PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. NOT GENERAL ELECTION. PRIMARIES.

    Are you drunk?

    This is getting comical.

    Julius and Denny, do you two know what the primaries and general election are?

    It's like talking to Corky from Life Goes On around here.

    Where's the racist component to black people voting for a black candidate. After all, white people vote for white candidates and I've never heard that specifically called racist. Maybe voting for a candidate who's actually a racist... But not just because of skin color.

    Primaries. LOL.

    Ok, if that is your claim... Show me another race or demographic that has been split 97-3 voting for their same demographic.

    Is it your contention that voting "just because of skin color" is NOT racist? If so, I guess we don't have anything more to discuss.

    It's not racist. Geez. Get that through your thick skull!

    It could be they wanted to see a glass ceiling broken. An america where a black man can be elected president. A president that may relate to their situation better than someone who's not part of the community. Maybe a black president will put in place policies that stop black men from being arrested disproportionately to white men. Those seem like good enough reasons, and are not racist. Not racist by the most liberal definition that can be applied.

    And no, "because of skin color" is not the definition of racist.

    Um, yes it is. By definition.

    Prejudice: preconceived judgment or opinion

    Yes, that applies to "voting based on skin color"

    I ignored the rest of your ignorant post.

    Prejudice is not racism.

    "any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable."

    False.

    If you prejudge that black men are good athletes, you are not being racist.

    You are badly misinterpreting what the dictionary means.
