Should Courts Scrap the Affordable Health Care Act?

I guess you know most black people. You must be a black person expert. In fact You can type to me in ebonics if you want to. I will enjoy the minstrel show. Go ahead and play Jim Crow. Because to me you just labeled yourself. I just want to correct the misconception that it was blacks that voted him into office.

Barack Obama, who is nation’s first African-American president, ( He can't be anything other than black. It used to be said that if a person had 1/8 black blood in them they are black or did that rule change since he became president?) won the largest share of white support of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976 amid a backdrop of economic anxiety unseen in at least a quarter-century, according to exit polls by The Associated Press and the major television networks.

Obama became the first Democrat to also win a majority since Jimmy Carter with the near-unanimous backing of blacks and the overwhelming support of youth as well as significant inroads with white men and strong support among Hispanics and educated voters.

The Illinois senator won 43 percent of white voters, 4 percentage points below Carter’s performance in 1976 and equal to what Bill Clinton won in the three-man race of 1996. Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote.

Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men.

A stunning 54 percent of young white voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites.

It also appears youth turnout rose 1 point since 2004, to constitute 18 percent of the electorate.

McCain won a majority of every other age of white voters, which appeared to limit Obama’s reach into many traditionally Republican states.

Obama performed slightly worse with white women, 39 percent of voters, than Al Gore did in 2000. McCain won the votes of white women, 53 to 46 percent, perhaps an indication of the historical candidacy of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.

Obama compensated for the drop-off in white female support with the strong 41 percent support from white men. No Democrat since Carter had until Tuesday’s election earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.

In 2000, white women split between the two parties while Republicans won white men by 24 percentage points. That white male gap was dramatically narrowed Tuesday to 16 points, a trend that began with the financial crisis, and one that allowed Obama to split the male vote overall.

McCain won only 57 percent of the votes of white men, who were again 36 percent of the electorate.

White college graduates, 35 percent of voters, broke for McCain 51 to 47 percent, marking roughly a 3-point gain for Obama compared to Gore’s 44 percent showing.

Obama performed at a similar level as Gore with working-class whites, earning 40 percent of their support to McCain’s 59 percent, which is roughly similar to George W. Bush’s performance in 2000 and 2004.

Obama’s victory also stretched into other key blocs won by Bush four years ago. Suburban voters, who were half of the electorate, split between Obama and McCain. Rural voters, who went for Bush by 19 points in 2004, leaned to McCain by 8 points. And married voters, who went to Bush by 15 points, leaned to McCain by 6 this year.

hmmm Now I think you are faking about the people you hang,..come into contact with. ya se it aint da hoodrats dat wer dey pants don ron dey ass. das dat gangsta an bess fa real dat aint no fake gold he gat in his mawf, See das lak a sign dat say " I gots wat u want". an dat bling is fa sho real. Na da hood rat is a totally different animal. I am pretty sho u don ran inta ha. she gat dat ass dat u white boys lak. Not flat like dem white girls. (flat as granny's pancakes.) I am pretty sho dat one or two of dem hoodrats done left yo pocket skinny too. Females get on welfare, single mothers, but gangstas don't. They can't get welfare. Once they been convicted of a crime it's over for them. So they turn into Republicans.They get theirs by any means necessary. That's right. No more hand outs for them. Now the dumb ones keep hustling and stealing and going in and out of prison,but the smart ones take advantage of the programs and free education That is offered in the correctional facilities and even after they get out. The employment office is full of those programs. They can even pursue college degrees. Yes that's right. You have to understand also they the whole while they have never lost their "Hood Cred", so they are sometimes able to influence the "yungstas" let them know that that hustling won't get them no where. They tell them the game isn't like it used to be. It's time to play "Their" game, meaning the white folks game. The "OG'S" Tell them the white man is really the most vicious predator on the planet. Crafty and diabolical, but his weakness is that he is stuck on himself. Pride. Now that's where I am going to stop because I see that you are very interested and would really like to know the secret of how us intellectual Negros are able to pick you apart. One thing for sure is "That you take brother out of the streets, but never the street out of the brother. Here is another facts that you should study. All crime is going down. No it will never go away More and more white women are into interracial relationships. Studies are showing that slowly whites are becoming the minority. In fact a study shows that white youth will be a minority by 2019. That's just a few years a way. Yall, You all I mean, just don't make babies like we do. by 2050 White will be the minority. You don't have to believe me, just Google "White are the minority" There is just tons of studies conducted by white folks. Smart white folks. They are actually saying the reason is us,(black folks)hispanics and mixed race (interracial babies) You know those sayings "once you go black you never go back." Well it's happening now buddy. You wait There will be another black President. That cherry's been busted too. The damndest thing is The Republicans are going to put him into power. They tried with Herman Cain, and Allen West To offset that all republicans are racist thing. It was like "Democrats got Obama, we got to get our own Negro now." Republicans are going to fool around and pick one of those Frederick Douglass type Republican blacks and he is going to level the playing field. That's in the future. Let me digress a little. Right now most Republicans are saying." I wish we can go back to the Reagan days", and "Ronald Reagan was the greatest President ever" Obama is starting to use some of his policies. I wonder how that is going to play out in the next election?

Soldier, the problem with the black community is not that they alone voted in Obama (obviously that is not the case), but that for the last 30 years they and by 80 to 90% margin voted in liberals with their promise of "fairness" and "equality". Tell me something, is the black community
better off now than they were 30 years ago?

“There is no question that black America is worse off than it has been in at least the last 30 years,” said Glen Ford, the executive editor of the Black Agenda Report.

“Number one in high unemployment, number one in home foreclosures and number one in populating the prisons of our country,” explained renowned civil rights activist Reverend Jesse Jackson.

“Literally hundreds of studies have shown without doubt, repeatedly, that, for example, a white man with a prison record, who applies for a job is more likely to get a call back for that job, an interview, than a black man with a college education,” explained Ford.

Experts believe that’s exactly why Obama should be putting in place specifically targeted policies.
So why isn’t he?

“It’s just a community of people that he probably believes that belong to him, will vote for him, will support him. If he is going to spend political capital, he is not going to spend it on black folk,” said New York Pastor James David Manning.

“You can say that Obama destroyed more blacks housing than the KKK would have been able to,” remarked economist Michael Hudson. (all quotes from http://www.economiccollapse.n...


But you all just keep voting in your "massas" who keep you on the plantation. And that is the pertinent point of this discussion. The ACA is nothing but the latest means by which libs/communist shank our freedoms out from under us and the black community will be renowned for having supported the loss of those freedoms by 96%!!!

You may well be right, but isn't that true of Republicans? How much of conservatism is passed down through generation? Government started racism (Starting with the Constitution Since it was written while there was still slavery, by slave owners.) Then 'Real Republicans like Frederick Douglass came with the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and its success in guiding the Union to victory and abolishing slavery, it came to dominate the national scene until 1932. The Republican Party was based on northern white Protestants, businessmen, professionals, factory workers, wealthier farmers, and blacks. It was pro-business, supporting banks, the gold standard, railroads, and high tariffs to protect heavy industry and the industrial workers. Too good to be true because even then blacks weren't treated fairly. In fact Lincoln even wrote if he thought he had a way to resolve the nations problems without freeing the slaves he would. ( Republicans were helped into power by the votes of freed slaves.) Then after the slaves were freed in the Southern states The Republican party turned their backs on them and left them to the wolves (Southern Democrats) After the Compromise of 1877. The agreement was that in exchange for the Republican party to have the presidency. (Rutherford Haynes) All the troops would be pulled out of the South and the southern states would be given "states rights" (basically even though the slaves were free they were openly marginalized by having no voting rights, Jim Crow laws, lynched, raped, murdered and terrorized by whites.) Things didn't work even when Blacks said "Okay this isn't working why don't we just separate from you whites. You leave us alone and we will leave you alone." Ft. Moses, Rosewood Fl., Greenwood in Tulsa Ok. The Us government went as far as to drop bombs on this community http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Stuff like this is not in the history books and I wonder why? Laws were written to separate us, but when we separate we weren't allowed to prosper. Everything after isn't all that either. Civil rights and affirmative action is just more racist laws by,and from the government. So I am going to ask you After providing free labor from slavery to today's prison industrial complex. To government marginalization (welfare) from fighting this countries battles. ( Crispus Attucks the first to fall in the American Revolution, through all other conflicts that the US has had. Foreign and domestic.) Who should black people vote for. Neither the Republican party nor the Democratic party has proven that they are going to do anything for African Americans?
