Apparently the story is going viral. Good old media. This goes viral but the Vote Black buttons at the DNC barely got a mention.
This country and this election are so out of control that it's ridiculous.
Just another reason to get this election cycle over

One of my favorite things about conventions -- either party -- are the enthusiastic sartorial choices of many delegates. This year's DNC was no different, except for these pins:

I can truly understand the sentiment of Black people who vote for Obama just because he's Black. Whether or not folks want to admit it, a lot of folks won't vote for him because he is Black and a lot will support Romney just because he is White.
Just continues to show the divide in the country. There's gonna be trouble.

the divide is not equal. The racial favoritism is heavier on the black side. It is most likely that there are very few who will favor a white President over an black one.

It is to be expected that Blacks would favor a Black president over a White one. I think you could probably deduce that for a long time, Whites have favored white candidates over black candidates or any other minority candidate and that's why you've never had a non-White president up to this point. -

By and large it is not to be believed. -

And exactly why is it "to be expected"? -
Same reason most whites prefer a white president, "birds of a feather."
"Vote black" buttons are politically correct, "vote white" buttons are not. If it was not a political issue, I suspect that "vote white" buttons would be more popular - at least on BB. -

It's to be expected because there had never been a Black President. Every election cycle had been a recycle of the same old geriatric White men.
Ask the average Black person and they will tell you they never thought they would see a Black President in their lifetime and they wanted to be part of it.
It's not that complicated. The majority is prone to think that there hasn't been any bias in its selection election cycle after election cycle of picking someone as the party nominee who looks like the majority. :laugh:
When you get someone who looks like you time and time again, you tend to lose perspective and sight that there is a degree of bias in for what race candidate people vote. -

That's one of the reasons Sundays are so segregated.
But this board needs to stop acting naive. It wasn't too long ago that the majority didn't even want to eat at the same counter as minorities, or even go to the same school.
So don't act like it's so far fetched that a whole lot of White folks haven't considered a nonwhite candidate for President because of racial prejudice. -
