More White people voted for the first American Black President than Black people. How do you account for that?
1. Liberal whites aren't as racist as white conservatives. That's why you can't get blacks elected. Not only won't blacks vote for them, neither will your white nationalist constituents.
2. Bush was so bad and McCain was so clueless that even white racist Republicans voted for Obama instead of McCain. We were in a great recession. White racist men were losing their jobs and homes. McCain was saying everything was fine. It was the perfect time to run a black man. I didn't think Obama would win to be honest. I thought we should have run Hillary then Obama later.
3. Blacks only make up 13% of our population and not all of them vote.
