When Over 90% Of Blacks Vote For Obama Is That Racial Politics?

Would the media say it’s racist if over 90% of whites voted for Hillary?
It had to be one of the single dumbest questions ever asked in the history of network television.
Diane Sawyer was chatting up James Carville, the irascible Clinton loyalist, about the West Virginia Democrat primary. She turned to Mr. Carville and, with a glint in her eye, asked “…should Sen. Clinton say she is rejecting the votes of anyone who votes based in any way on color of skin?”
…..in the middle of his rambling, stumbling answer to possibly the goofiest question he’s ever received, he managed to sheepishly point out that there were “probably a few black voters who have voted for Sen. Obama because of race as well.”
If Diane Sawyer wasn’t so hell-bent on trying to make the case that white West Virginia voters were a bunch of bigots, she might have asked the exact same question of Sen. Obama and his supporters. The only problem with that scenario is that if Obama had to reject voters who selected him based “in any way” on race, he wouldn’t have anyone left.
But once again, biased blacks get a pass. Very few people have the intestinal fortitude to admit that it’s a crying shame that so many voters are blindly supporting someone for president because of his skin color. It would be the ultimate act of political incorrectness to point this out. Instead, whites in West Virginia — and elsewhere — are demonized as non-educated, racist morons.
It’s easy to blame white Americans for just about every single racial conflict in America. But in doing so, we’re not making much progress in terms of race relations.
