obama likes basketball. he's a chicago native who was going to bulls games before he was a presidential candidate. obama's strength is his ability to relate to black people without actually being ANYTHING like them. i'm more like the average black guy than obama. politicians aren't normal people, aren't like normal people and are only like other politicians
obama's people made him appeal to folks who hadn't typically been voting. blacks of any blackground weren't all about some bush or kerry. a lot of the ones who voted for obama didn't vote before, didn't WANT to vote.
why didn't other black candidates end up in office? because obama related to blacks better than they did, it's that simple
and stop saying blacks didn't vote for obama, he got 95% of the vote in 2008 http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/09/opinio...ote/index.html
every black person who voted for obama because he was black = every white person who voted for romney because obama was black
it blows my mind how people pretend to be what their claimed political affiliation says they are, even though they aren't. these people are normal, everyday people 3.75 years then for 4 months before the election they suddenly care about issues and pick a side in an imaginary war

blacks care as much as whites. neither really cares a whole lot. media makes you think that a black person in the SE USA is under constant pressure to gtfo and it hasn't been that way in 40 years
it's most socially acceptable to discriminate against whites though.
