Props to 33 - he called this.
A new NBC/WSJ poll out Tuesday shows President Barack Obama with a four-point lead over presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney. But as is often the case with polls, some of the more interesting numbers were in the details. For example? Romney snagged zero percent of African-American voters.
Among key demographics, the poll noted that Obama had a lead over Romney. The most stark being when it came to African Americans: 94 percent to 0 percent. Via NBC:
Looking inside the numbers, Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).
His lead among those groups isn’t surprising, but hard for the number zero not to catch a person’s attention.
-
Disgusting and pathetic. But more than anything - TYPICAL. This is why the GOP should waste nt a second or penny pandering to these people.
Like I said, blacks would gleefully go back in to slavery so long as it was Obama the one offering the chains.
They worship this thug like a messiah and savior other than a few free thinking good citizens like mcway , col. West, Tim Scott and others.

Shame on black people for supporting this piece of shit. FNG delusional morons.

Played for fools. no sympathy whatsoever from me for falling for this poverty pimping, race hustling, bling wearing, con man.

Why do you think Romney should get the support of the black community?

Why do you think Romney should get the support of the black community?
Why do you refer to them as the black community, are they somehow different from any other American?
-

uuuuugggghhhhh - maybe because economically every single thing has gotten far worse for blacks under the policies of this piece of shit?
So again - like I said - Obama is a cult messiah for delusional and racist blacks who doent give a fucking wit at what happens to them so long as it is a fellow black doing it. Imagine if Romney got 100% of the white vote 4 years from now and had a record as bad as obama's after being in office for 4 years and were running against a minority candidate? What would everyone call that?
As for mindless, slavish, and cult worship of obama by blacks, its plainly obvious that they would rather suffer miserably under Obama than have the possibility of improvement w someone else. Fuck em, they made their bed, let em suffer in it and still blame everyone else.
Romney could come out tommorow and made 50 anti italian jokes and said he hates catholics and thinks NY'ers are a bunch of idiots and I would still vote for him since his economic agenda is better for the nation than the current path we are on that is a proven failure and disaster.
Only an abject fucking delusional psychotic would want 4 more years of this bs.

More like the cult community for being so close minded.

How about this?
Obama is coming to NYC again to raise money from the .000000001% which will shut down part of the city during rush hour etc. He does this nearly every two damn weeks.
Notice how during not one of these trips hob knobbing w Sarah Jessiaca Parker, Soros, Clooney, DeNiro, the hedge funders, et al Obama has EVER so much as stepped foot in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island to so much as shake one hand w the average guy?
Obama does not give a flying fuck about blacks and uses them like beaten wives and used diapers and insanely they keep asking for more.
Pathetic.

And it is for this reason that Romney shouldn't spend one penny, appealing to black voters, at least not with the election on the line. During the midterms? Sure! But, not now, especially since you don't need the black vote to win.

I always roll my eyes when people say obama is for the little guy. What a bunch of horseshit. How many times has he been to Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Mt. Vernon, Staten Island again?

hes leading in NY state by 26 points. he doesn't need to.
Romney doesnt visit NYC either... unless it's a 911 photo op with Rudy, right?

No kidding - this state is a basket case and filled with the worst segments of the voting populace
1. Far left wealthy liberal jews
2. Racist 99'ers
3. A boat load of govt union hacks.
4. Immigrants on welfare and scamming the system
etc etc
Over 4 million have left in recent years to escape this bullshit who were mostly middle class regular decent people.

So Obama is the candidate that actually represents the views and goals of the majority of NYers - and not Romney?

Obama promises the most free shit, and is a union whore, so yeah

Probably since most of these are tax sponges and that is who obama appeals to - the parasites and locusts of society.

Why do you refer to them as the black community, are they somehow different from any other American?
When someone refers to the Black Community in a political arena, its is generally assumed to describe the lower middle class that for the most part, Live, work, and attend school in the same geographic community as on another. There are pockets accross America (some larger than others) that will fall in this category.
For example, where im from in Los Angeles (79th and Normandie) is by in large a community of African Americans that all live next to each other while where i lived last year (Brentwood on Wilshire and Bundy) would be considered a White commuity. So when one says "the black Community" they are referring to the collective of all the predominantly African American dense communities.
But to try to give you a bit of insight on your question as to blur the compairason between Blacks Americans and the American Community as a whole can be answered with the same question. The divide between Black Americans and the rest of Americans can be explained in the history of America and its Views towards Blacks and its subsequent laws/structure that has fostered that view. I wish there was no difference and all Americans would be considered the same.. hell the entire male portion (except for me) of my family has served in the Military for the US. But the fact remains, America as a whole sees blacks as some kind of Pseudo American. Just my POV

I see where you are coming from, but the title of this thread is telling in itself. I don't remember when this started, but the <insert here>-American needs to be shit canned. All it does is server to divide people as they are some other "nationality" then American.

And that has to due w Obama and him getting 99% of the black vote how?
Or is it race like most of us have said from Day 1, and nothing at all w his job performance and condition of the nation?

Are you fucking retarded... i was answering a question you simpleminded idiot

No - you gave a long winded non-answer to avoid the topic at hand.
The fact is that obama sucks, you know it, i know it, blacks know it, whites know it, chinks know it, mexis know it, aliens on mars know it, etc.
He got in to office for one reason and one reason alone, has been propped up by the MSM for one reason and one reason only, and garners the support of the 99'ers for one reason and one reaon only.
Its not about obama or his disastrous record for the guilt ridden white commies, the racist blacks, the far left liberal jews, the MSM, etc. Its about something much different which said crowd of assholes refuse to admit.
If Obama were a white politician from Boston named Barry O'Malley with his disastrous record worse than aything imaginable, he likely would have been impeached, primaried, or not even running for a second term.
-
No - you gave a long winded non-answer to avoid the topic at hand.
I swear... you might be a fucking retard... he asked " why is it called the black Community ass opposed to American community"
What the fuck? i answered exactly that.. He didnt say shit about obama or romney.. he said Black community...
Dude, do you read something and just reprocess it to say some shit about Obama...
I did ignore anything.. He asked what is black community and i think i defined what it was... What the fuck are you talking about chump...

"Black community" is another bullshit fucking idiotic talking point meant to encourage group think and sheep like mentality.
Does everyone in the "Italo-American Community" believe the same bullshit? Fuck no! Same for every other "community".
Blacks can continue this bullshit all they want - just don't complain about the effects of such idiotic behavior and belief systems.

Black community is the area where most black people conduct their daily lives therefore policies will affect ther community. Example:most black people go
to "School A" .. because its in an area where most black people live... and education policies will affect the school and community in a certian way.
he asked what black community was, and i told him what it was.. you ignorant partisan shitstain
You are obviously an idiot that cant grasp simple questions and answers without adding "obama" and i will not continue to address you.

This thread is about blacks supporting obama 94% - 0% for Romney despite the fact that things are worse for blacks than anyone else after 4 years of Mr. Hope and Change.
You can call me any name you want - the fact is that anyone whose situation has gotten WORSE and still supports obama is doing so for reasons that have NOTHING to do with his job performance.

I ANSWERED A DIRECT QUESTION..DIRECTLY.. WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT?

I ANSWERED A DIRECT QUESTION..DIRECTLY.. WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT?
I don't understand how someone being shat upon, mocked, yelled, at, ignored, and treated like a beaten wife by Obama could possibly even fathom voting for him again when he has made things drastically worse and he has not shown .000000001% level of gratitude or loyalty to black voters that they give him.
Must be a race thing.

I get what you're saying. But, it's not necessarily skin color. I've said and continue to say that most black people would vote for Satan himself, if he had a "D" by his name.
-
What was the QUESTION asked to ME?.. What did i RESPOND to?
Don't know but you still have not responded with one coherent post in this thread why blacks should continue to support obama given his record, treatment of black voters, horrible policies, and second term priorities that have nothing to do with helping suffering black voters.
It must be something else. Oh wait . . . . . . . .
-
Don't know
if you dont know.. just read...
I asked "why should the black community support Romney"
Kazan asked " what is the black community as opposed to American Community"
I then explained what the black community is..
what the fuck are you reading?.. are you retarded

Maybe Ryan can help out, after all, his college sweeheart was black, and he has a black sister in law. Chalk one up for the skinny, big ear, crossfit geek.
-

I think you fail to recognize the nature of parasitism.
The true parasite is one who feeds off his host, and does so unbeknownst and undetectable to that host....
...kind of like the banks that print money out of thin air, issue it as debt, and forces hard working individuals to work in order to pay interest on what is essentially nothing. If one is unable to keep up the payments, their wealth is seized, repossessed, foreclosed etc., They suck the wealth out of the people... feeding off them undetected.
The Banks & Bankers are the true parasites and locusts of society, ...not the victims whose wealth & labour is stolen from them everyday.
-
Why do you think Romney should get the support of the black community?
Because the black community has more in common with republicans than democrats when it comes to most issues. For years they've been led to believe the opposite of whats been true. But more and more blacks are waking up. Just recently an Alabama senator switched to the republican party and will now be speaking at the GOP convention.

With this statement I will most definitely agree.
There are countless scores of people who despite their personal situations having gotten worse who STILL support Obama, and will continue to support Obama for reasons that have NOTHING to do with his job performance. FACT!!!
That FACT however does not automatically mean the reason for his support is due to the colour of his or their skin.
FOR GAWDS SAKE, LOOK AT HIS OPPONENT!!!! ::)
Despite their situation having gotten worse, they know Obama wasn't the one who created the financial crisis, or set the stage for the giant clusterf-ck they are currently experiencing, ...and they have no confidence that Romney can, will, or is even inclined to try to improve things. In many circles, a vote for Romney is viewed as jumping out of the frying pan, and into the fire, ...so yeah, people whose situations have gotten worse during the last 4 years are still going to support Obama for reasons that have nothing to do with his job performance.
Don't you ever get tired of appealing to a racist mindset?
I would think the racebaiting rhetoric would have gotten stale by now?
-
LOL. So stick with a proven failure and disaster who has made things worse for blacks vs taking a chance on someone else?
Real fucking smart right there. ::) ::)
And spare me the race baiting bs - blacks supporting Obama mindlessly and slavishly like lemmings are the real racists, no one else.

Hey, you sure are a sharp one.
Could you please give us the UE rate, cost of gasoline, welfare recipients and deficit under Obama? After you figure that out, compare them to when Bush was in office.
OBAMA MADE IT MUCH WORSE!!! HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY. EVERYTHING HE DID WAS A FAILURE AND THEREFORE SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO TAKE OVER. WHY? BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE, NOT EVEN YOU MY RETARDED FRIEND, THAT CAN DO WORSE!!!
NO ONE CAN DO WORSE THAN OBAMA, BUT IT WILL GET WORSE IF THE LITTLE DOG EATER GETS RE-ELECTED.

This "Obama wasn't the one who created the financial crisis" bit is LAME. At some point (which passed long ago), IT'S ON HIM. Unlike Madeline Albright, the American people ain't buying this blame-Bush "forever" routine.
Every president inherits problems from his predecessor. Did you hear Reagan whine incessantly about all the woes Carter left him? NO! He took on the responsibility and fixed the problem.
That's what Obama said he would do. That's what he has FAILED to do. And, the fact that things have WORSEN under him makes the point that he needs to go.
Bush didn't blow $800 billion in stimulus; Obama did.
Bush didn't sink billions into "green energy" companies that went belly up; Obama did.
Bush didn't get our credit downgraded (TWICE); Obama did.
Bush NEVER had 8% unemployment, even in his worst years (which just happen to be the two where the Dems ran Congress); Obama's has had 8% unemployment or higher for nearly his ENTIRE presidency.
How long was gas over $3 and pushing $4 a gallon under Bush? How long was it so under Obama?
How many college grads were getting jobs under Bush? How many under Obama?
What was black unemployment under Bush (who doesn't care about them)? What is it under Obama (who loves them so)?

None of that matters to the Obama or Die crowd.

NEWSFLASH!!!
It's gonna get a whole lot worse regardless of WHO is in office.
Things have gone well beyond the tipping point. The entire economic system must be reset.
Unlike in years past when this calamity has struck, currency collapses were local.
These days, all national currencies are mere paper derivatives of the US dollar.
The coming economic reset will be GLOBAL in nature and no one can improve the situation.
America's fate has long been sealed. What we see here is mere theatre to entertain & distract the masses.
ps: Can someone please pass the popcorn, I'm out of popcorn (only non GMO please)

Right - so just march happily on with this train wreck, holder, napolitano, chu, et al.
Works so well in Detroit, Chicago, Camden, etc
Whatever - TYPICAL

Actually Reagan didn't fix the problem, ...he simply made it worse, ...however he did create the illusion that things were getting better. It is only in hind-sight these many years later that we see the damage that Reagan did infact do.
The situation has gotten tremendously worse under Obama granted, however, it would have gotten worse regardless of who was in office. The wheels had already been set in motion.
That's what Obama said he would do. That's what he has FAILED to do. And, the fact that things have WORSEN under him makes the point that he needs to go.
An understandable rationale, ...but if he goes, ...who takes his place?
Republicans lost their best candidate when they allowed the Repubs to steal the candidacy of Ron Paul.
Failing to nominate Ron Paul, sealed Obama's victory in November.
Bush didn't blow $800 billion in stimulus; Obama did.
Actually Bush did this before Obama was even elected.

No, instead bush sank trillions into other "green energy" companies (insolvent banking institutions) that were ALREADY belly up.

I believe that was Congress that did that. Obama just was along for the ride, and got the blame.

Fallout takes time to work it's way through the system.
Look, I sympathize with the American people. I'm glad I don't have to vote in this coming election.
I take the position that I need to defend myself from whatever decisions are made by either party in office.
There is an upcoming storm ahead,
...rather than yell, scream, or cry about it,
...I'm choosing to position myself to dance in the rain.
What about you? What are you doing to defend yourself from the upcoming financial attack on the public?

Yes it did get worse before it got better. But when it got better it wasn't because he raised taxes, it was because of the tax cuts. What were Reagans numbers when he left office. This is pure fiscal commonsense. You don't raise taxes in this (or almost any) economic climate.

Obama plans on raising taxes on EVERYONE. Notice that extension of the Bush tax cuts for the middle class only goes for a year.
Obama is simply trying to play, "fake it, 'til you make it". That's why he's bugged all his fiscal sodomy programs to kick into gear well AFTER he supposedly gets re-elected.

I believe it appeared to get better because of giant back to back bubbles created by Federal Reserve fiscal policies under Greenspan. First the tech bubble, ...and when that popped, they inflated a housing bubble, now they are attempting a giant paper derivative bubble that is bound to burst and reverberate with the force of a few atomic bombs all over the planet.
Romney is a master at manipulating paper to enrich himself at the expense of the people.
He is completely out of touch with the everyday man on the street (both literally & figuratively) and only those who are desperately grasping at the straws of an old paradigmn could possibly support him. He lacks as they say... the common touch.

LOL - compared to Obama?
FNG please - the lies you 95'ers tell yourselves is comical
-
94% of blacks are too dumb to vote in their best interest.
I also suspect that not many brothers would admit to voting for Romney when put on the spot.
I also suspect that the polling was skewed in favor of democrats and registered voters instead of likely voters.

When someone refers to the Black Community in a political arena, its is generally assumed to describe the lower middle class that for the most part, Live, work, and attend school in the same geographic community as on another. There are pockets accross America (some larger than others) that will fall in this category.
For example, where im from in Los Angeles (79th and Normandie) is by in large a community of African Americans that all live next to each other while where i lived last year (Brentwood on Wilshire and Bundy) would be considered a White commuity. So when one says "the black Community" they are referring to the collective of all the predominantly African American dense communities.
But to try to give you a bit of insight on your question as to blur the compairason between Blacks Americans and the American Community as a whole can be answered with the same question. The divide between Black Americans and the rest of Americans can be explained in the history of America and its Views towards Blacks and its subsequent laws/structure that has fostered that view. I wish there was no difference and all Americans would be considered the same.. hell the entire male portion (except for me) of my family has served in the Military for the US. But the fact remains, America as a whole sees blacks as some kind of Pseudo American. Just my POV
Good Heavens, why would America take that point of view? ::)
Think it might have anything to do with the fact that when black unemployment is at the same level it was during the depression and basically 100% of blacks want to vote for the same President whose policies have directly led to high black unemployment ( only because he's black and makes ridiculous promises about passing out free shit)?
Think it might have anything to do with the fact that slavery ended 150+ years ago, blacks enjoy an ovewhelmingly high standard of living, the president is black, Supreme Court Justices have been black, there are plenty of black millionaires and intellectuals, affirmative action has been mandated for nearly 40 years and yet all blacks do is bitch about racism and blame the plight of their communities on everyone else except themselves?
Think it might have something to do with the fact that every other minority group that have immigrated to this country ( without the same government mandated advantages given to blacks) has surpassed blacks in practically every area of achievement?
America looks at the black community from two angles of left and right:
Left: Blacks are dumb, easily manipulated, will exploit their own just to get ahead, have a tribal+simplistic culture and are more concerned with color than substance. Let's pander to them and condescendingly pat them on the head while enacting policies that ensure they are America's permanent underclass ( and most reliable democratic voting bloc).
Right: Blacks are brainwashed. No sense in wasting time, money or resources on campaigning to them. If they want to join the ranks of productive America, its their responsibility. If that day ever comes, we will welcome them in.

LOL!!!!
Fucking idiot.
what have I said over and over and over?
Obama = 100% proven failure, disaster, idiot, corrupt and incompetent.
Romney = 75% - 100% chance of being the same
I am supporting Romney for the small chance they will be better since the path we are on this Obama is a proven FAIL!
That is why you 94'ers are so brainwashed, delusional, stupid, moronic, blind, incompetent, and not worth reaching out to. If you can't see that changing course from a proven disaster to a probable disaster is what most sane people do in these situations, then you are proving my assertion that 94'ers voting for Obama has nothing whatsoever to do w his job performance in office, but something else . . . . .

I heard him on TV speak about education, which was at the NAACP appearance he did.
If I remember correctly, he said that, under his administration, the federal funding for education would be attached to the child, giving the parents the option of where they send their children.
I will give the parents of every low-income and special needs student the chance to choose where their child goes to school. For the first time in history, federal education funds will be linked to a student, so that parents can send their child to any public or charter school, or to a private school, where permitted. And I will make that a true choice by ensuring there are good options available to all.
http://www.mittromney.com/news/press/2012/07/mitt-romney-delivers-remarks-naacp-convention
Now, THAT'S 'pro-choice'. Of course, the teachers' unions and ACLU goofs will have a fit about that. Of course, thanks to Zelman v. Simmons-Harris from 10 years ago, their cries about unconstitutionality (at least at the federal level) will likely fall on deaf ears.

Mitt's Plan
As president, Mitt Romney will make every effort to safeguard the environment, but he will be mindful at every step of also protecting the jobs of American workers. This will require putting conservative principles into action.
What takes precedence... jobs of people.. or the environmnt?

I couldn't help but to ponder, in absolute awe, about how incredibly out-of-touch Romney seems with so many American voters, ...especially those who are not WASPs or Morons. Especially among African Americans, Hispanics, Asians etc., ...people whose backgrounds & values, would seemingly trend Republican, are voting for Obama
A very good friend of mine, a wealthy Harvard educated Black man from Beverly Hills, ...is voting Democrat this year.
I couldn't believe it. This man has always been a lifelong Republican. He voted for Bush Sr., He voted for Bush jr., he even voted Republican in 2008. This year however, he's voting for Obama. Believe it or not, i have a lot of friends who have always voted Republican, and from all ethnicities, Black, Caucasian, Asian, yet this year, ...they are all voting for Obama (including those who voted Republican in 2008).
My friend Sanjay beautifully summed up the rationale when he said:
My Grandfather was born in India under British rule. He grew up poor, established a business, was fluent in 5 languages, and served in prison as Mahatma Gandhiji's librarian. He raised my father and imbued him with deep and abiding value for morals, ethics, compassion and empathy. Every penny of my father's worth has been derived from a life dedicated to saving lives as a Master Cardiologist (an honor bestowed upon him by the American Academy of Cardiology). I serve as a Physician Architect for Clinical Analytics at Oracle Health Sciences and I proudly carry on the tradition of my family... to first do no harm, to heal, and to serve humanity. In contrast Mr. Romney's Grandfather FLED the United States to Mexico with his underaged wives to escape prosecution as a polygamist and statuatory rapist. Mr. Romney's father immigrated to the United States with no objection due to his Anglo-European ethnicity. Mr Romney was born into privilege, unlike myself, my father or my grandfather. Mr. Romney spent 8 years at Harvard because his father could afford his education. In contrast, my Father sustained his education through merit based scholarship, he availed a position in England and Scotland as one of the youngest to ever achieve the degree of MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians), and through his training and tenure he assisted a multitude of his classmates from India to pursue the same credentials. My Dad arrived on America's shores with $300 in his pocket. I will not betray him and reveal what he is worth today, but you may know that it is MILLIONS of dollars. All earned by saving lives. How can any Republican expect me to vote GOP? We hate your racist, demagoguing party. We hate your anti-immigrant rhetoric. We hate your frankly un-American policies. The Udoshi family is what AMERICA is about (ethics, hard word, morality, fairness, compassion). The Romney family is what America was about (privilege, hatred, exclusivity, and complete lack of empathy)... FORWARD.

America looks at the black community from two angles of left and right:
Left: Blacks are dumb, easily manipulated, will exploit their own just to get ahead, have a tribal+simplistic culture and are more concerned with color than substance. Let's pander to them and condescendingly pat them on the head while enacting policies that ensure they are America's permanent underclass ( and most reliable democratic voting bloc).
Right: Blacks are brainwashed. No sense in wasting time, money or resources on campaigning to them. If they want to join the ranks of productive America, its their responsibility. If that day ever comes, we will welcome them in.

BET Poll reveals G.O.P. is on track for the worst showing w/ black voters in modern history (Meh)
The Rock Hill Herald ^ | August 27, 2012
Posted on Monday, August 27, 2012 6:07:26 PM
In the most comprehensive election-year study of registered African-American voters in the battleground states, BET News' original poll conducted by nationally-recognized pollster Cornell Belcher, reveals overwhelming support for President Barack Obama for a second term re-election and severe disapproval of Republican Presidential nominee Governor Mitt Romney (R-Massachusetts). "Black, Red, White & Blue," is a study of 800 registered black voters in swing states that explores divisions within the black electorate on key issues. The poll takes the pulse of African-American political opinion in the remaining months of President Obama's first term in office.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070716/BETNETWORKSLOGO)
"We've been inundated by polls that have remained surprisingly static but none can answer the critical question of whether the heady days of hope and change have come and gone," says Cornell Belcher, President of brilliant corners Research and Strategies. "Now we have a poll that shines a light on whether in the era of super PACs, voter ID laws & shrinking early voting core Obama supporters will turn out like they did in 2008. President Obama won in 2008 by expanding the electorate and the battleground map and this poll gives a glimpse into whether a core constituency is poised to do it again."
"Hope is still alive. President Obama's base is frustrated but still optimistic and determined," Belcher added. "The President still has a lot of work to do to achieve his historic 2008 performance, but Republicans are increasingly poorly positioned to compete for Black voters."
The study is the deepest exploration to date of the views of black voters in the states on which the 2012 Election will probably turn. It brings into focus their increasing alienation from the GOP despite philosophical alignment on issues of social conservatism, challenges the conventional wisdom about their level of enthusiasm and optimism in the current election cycle, and suggests a clear distinction between personal beliefs and "voting issues" in how they cast their ballots.
Below are some of the additional topline highlights from "Black, Red, White & Blue," the 2012 BET News Poll of African American voters in the battleground states:
•ON THE GOP: Gov. Mitt Romney is currently positioned to garner an historic low rate of support among African-American voters. Only two percent of African-American voters in our poll currently support the Romney/Ryan ticket. The data indicate the traits that are pushing African-Americans away from the GOP, including the perception that too many Republican leaders seem "hostile to minorities." Even where significant percentages of black voters are philosophically in line with traditional Republican Party positions on issues such as same-sex marriage (40% favor/38% oppose), a decline in moral values as biggest obstacle to black advancement (46%), and abortion (51% pro-choice/44% pro-life), these views overwhelmingly do not translate into GOP votes. •ENTHUSIASM VS. APATHY: Despite conventional wisdom, black voters are on track to vote in numbers equivalent to 2008. Only 4% say they are less interested in voting in the upcoming election than they were in 2008. 85% say they are following the election closely. •HOPE AMIDST DESPAIR: African-American voters are surprisingly optimistic, despite an unemployment rate double that of whites, 69% are optimistic about the economy rebounding in the next 12 months. 77% say the US economy is stabilizing or improving. • "IT'S THE COST OF LIVING, STUPID:" The top concern about the economy for black voters is not jobs (21%), but rather salary and wages not keeping pace with the cost of living (38%) and affordable health care (24%). •A PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS: Though a number of prominent African-Americans have called on the President to more explicitly target programs to address black unemployment, the overwhelming majority of black voters accept that he must focus on repairing the national economy and in that way help black Americans (76% vs 14%).
Findings from a survey conducted by brilliant corners Research & Strategies on behalf of BET News. The survey was conducted by telephone using professional interviewers between August 12th and August 19th 2012. The survey reached 800 African American likely voters in 11 battleground states, which included CO, FL, GA, MI, MO, NV, NC, OH, PA, VA & WI. The margin of error on this survey is +/- 3.5%. BET News will use the findings and analysis from the poll as the basis for their LIVE on-air coverage of the RNC and Democratic National Conventions. Titled Black, Red, White and Blue, the poll findings will be given a human face with exclusive video interviews from focus groups representing four cross-sections of black voters in North Carolina and Florida, two key swing states. The 2012 election will be decided in a handful of states, some of which have significant black electorates.
BET News is collaborating with Google to present results of BET News' poll Black, Red, White and Blue via the Google.com/elections page. In addition they will jointly co-sponsor a forum in Charlotte to promote the results and explore the impact of the African American electorate in North Carolina. Throughout the election cycle BET News content will be posted on the Google.com/elections site.

My friend Sanjay beautifully summed up the rationale when he said:
My Grandfather was born in India under British rule. He grew up poor, established a business, was fluent in 5 languages, and served in prison as Mahatma Gandhiji's librarian. He raised my father and imbued him with deep and abiding value for morals, ethics, compassion and empathy. Every penny of my father's worth has been derived from a life dedicated to saving lives as a Master Cardiologist (an honor bestowed upon him by the American Academy of Cardiology). I serve as a Physician Architect for Clinical Analytics at Oracle Health Sciences and I proudly carry on the tradition of my family... to first do no harm, to heal, and to serve humanity. In contrast Mr. Romney's Grandfather FLED the United States to Mexico with his underaged wives to escape prosecution as a polygamist and statuatory rapist. Mr. Romney's father immigrated to the United States with no objection due to his Anglo-European ethnicity. Mr Romney was born into privilege, unlike myself, my father or my grandfather. Mr. Romney spent 8 years at Harvard because his father could afford his education. In contrast, my Father sustained his education through merit based scholarship, he availed a position in England and Scotland as one of the youngest to ever achieve the degree of MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians), and through his training and tenure he assisted a multitude of his classmates from India to pursue the same credentials. My Dad arrived on America's shores with $300 in his pocket. I will not betray him and reveal what he is worth today, but you may know that it is MILLIONS of dollars. All earned by saving lives. How can any Republican expect me to vote GOP? We hate your racist, demagoguing party. We hate your anti-immigrant rhetoric. We hate your frankly un-American policies. The Udoshi family is what AMERICA is about (ethics, hard word, morality, fairness, compassion). The Romney family is what America was about (privilege, hatred, exclusivity, and complete lack of empathy)... FORWARD.
Total bullshit. Another successful "friend" who can't help you escape your pathetic existence selling gas pills and gold.
