Allison Samuels - when did you graduate from tabloid reporting? This article is pure and utter horsesh*t. He can't win because of white people. Explain how he made it out of Iowa and New Hampshire to even reach South Carolina. How many actual black folk voted in IA & NH? Typical white racist persons don't vote for him in those two states he's toast.It wasn't black folks who got and kept him in the race. What's the percentage of typical white presumably non-racist volunteers to black volunteers? What's the percentage of donations from typical white person racists "rich white ladies & rich white men" vs black? Explain how he won the nomination and 18 million votes?That's a whole lotta typical white person racists. Maybe even a few really bitter ones pressing that lever. And now he can't win in the general election because of typical white person racists.
It's the black vote that could PUT HIM IN THE WH if they choose to vote vs not-vote and whine and riot instead. How much does someone want a black man in the WH if they think baggy pants are a problem and can't change out of them for an hour? And why don't people already know if it's going to be a problem? If they had voted in the primary they would know for sure.
8 MILLION black folks eligible to vote have not registered. 8 MILLION. That's A THIRD of eligible black votes. 8 MILLION potential votes for the first black president in American history. 8 MILLION black voters are not registered to vote for him. What does that say? In the last three elections, the black vote has been 10-12%. In the last election, Kerry lost Ohio by around 130K. He wins that he's in the WH. And how many blacks who were eligible to vote voted in Ohio? 120 Million votes were cast in 2004 with a difference of 3 MILLION votes. Ad what about Gore? What percentage of the voting-eligible blacks actually voted? And of only 1% more had voted Gore would be in the WH. Gore & Kerry have to carry some of the burden of Bush because they couldn't get elected. Kerry the most. Now 8 MILLION people are out there holding the election in their own hands. They vote, Obama wins. Period.
Ms Samuels - why didn't you use the opportunity to educate? To tell people how they can vote - who they can call - websites to visit. How much are YOU doing personally? YOUR church? YOUR friends? How many people you know personally are volunteering for Obama? What have YOU done TODAY? What do YOU plan on doing to make sure Obama gets elected? Or do you prefer to fear, not vote and then cry racism? What till November 5th to cry foul. The numbers will reveal just how many of those 8 MILLION blacks wanted a black man as president.
