I dont have them offhand, but you could look at the black voting percentages for Clinton.
He was the most popular president in the black community.
If the figure for Obama is higher, it suggests that race was an influence. It wasnt the sole influence, but it would be naive to suggest that it didnt play a role.
Thats fine though, that's democracy.

I guess they only voted for him because he's gay. And wait, the majority of Hispanics voted for him to! I guess they only voted for him because he's Hispanic. Oh, and so did the Jews and Muslims... As did women! So, if we use Republican logic, Obama is a Gay Black Jewish Muslim Hispanic Woman. Or MAYBE the Blacks, gays, Jews, so forth voted for him because of his message of hope, tax cuts to middle class, ending of Iraq, not starting a new one with Iran or Syria, so forth.

Thats fair enough isn't it? I can understand that a black man would rather vote for another black man because he would percieved a shared common understanding of the situation of black people as a minority in US society. Technically that is "racist" under the dictionary definition, but I dont really care...
