That is utter bullshit.Whites vote overwhelmingly for Republicans. The only white group where the majority voted for Obama were whites 18 to 29 years old. The Republican Party is 90% white.
Those are the facts.
If 90% of whites voted Republican, there would be no Democrats in the Senate and less than 20 in the house.
The facts are that in 2008 about 57% of whites did vote for GOP candidates, but 98% of blacks voted Democrat.
That's not what he said. He said that 90% of the GOP are white, not 90% of whites vote Republican. But I don't know if that's true or not. Wouldn't surprise me though.
I think you're 57% is accurate. About two-thirds of white males vote Republican. 90% of blacks generally vote Democrat but that could have been higher in 2008.
Worded poorly, I'll admit. I get pissed off when libs holler that the majority of whites are racist Republicans when blacks vote almost exclusively Democrat.
If we accept my number of 57% of whites voting GOP in 2008 which is to the best of my recollection is true, and 95% of blacks voted for barack obama, then who is, as a group more racist?
