In 1988 jesse jackson captured 92% of the black vote time-blog.com...
I think we can all agree Jesse Jackson is no Barak Obama.
This clearly proves that over 90% of blacks will vote for any candidate as long as he is black.
Does this make those blacks racist?

That's what I'm saying. It seems to be totally overlooked that he is not black or white, he's both. Just like Tiger Woods isn't black, neither is Halle Barry, Mariah Carey, or Alicia Keys. It's just crazy to me how the black race can "claim" somebody because they are half black, when those I listed including Obama (with the exception of Tiger Woods) had their black fathers bail on them and were raised by their WHITE mothers.
Even Bob Marley was half white.

I know right, us Black people should stop "claiming" people who are half white.
I mean, even though the majority of the "Black Race" doesn't actually have the luxury of having a TV to actually know who majority of these people (The ones you listed and more) are because they are too busy being exploited or struggling to live because they live in extreme poverty, thus not having a large capacity to actually care about claiming a certain celeberity, The Black race should stop "caliming" them.
You sir, are a genius.
I mean according to your logic, no certain race can truly claim any celeberity.
Don't blame black people because plenty of Minorities choose to embrace each other.

Oh, spare me that crap. I'm truly quite sick of it. News flash for you, there are PLENTY of "poor and exploited" white people. I know you don't care though, since they don't share your skin color. Either way, you don't see us white people whining about those of us who are too lazy and uneducated to get out of the trailer park. That's up to them to do.

Sure they do. Unfortunate white people blame it on everyone. They just can't blame it on the black man because the black man never owned them.

It's pretty amazing the low amount of tolerance people have here towards the black race. It starts off fairly innocent, and then sweeping generalizations are made and things take a turn for the worse.

Your dislike of black people was made apparent when you failed to suppress your inner bigot.
