3rd time I'm asking you this question: If Obama's secret strength is the black vote, then why did Hillary lose in Iowa, Washington, Maine, Nebraska, Kansas, Connecticut, North Dakota and Utah?

Because his strength isn't in the black vote only. Its also in the young vote and the well-educated vote.

Painting him as the "black" candidate is absolutely wrong and is why most who use this comment is unablet to respond to this statement.

Moreover I find if offensive to assume that black people are only voting for him because he is black. Was there a poll, study, resource group or black person who has said that the only reason they are voting for obama is becasue of his race. I find that to be a very racist statment it is almost as if you as white people are saying blacks are incapable of voting for a candidate for any other reason other than race.

When he did not have the black vote you guys were saying why vote for him the blacks aren't even behind him and now that he has gained the black vote the only reason blacks are voting for him is because he is black. We as blacks are capable of looking at the issues and voting accordingly. Just and FYI to all you whites who think otherwise.

It's a question for Big Brother, and the question still stands for him/her:

If Obama's secret strength is the black vote, then why did Hillary lose in Iowa, Washington, Maine, Nebraska, Kansas, Connecticut, North Dakota and Utah?
