This one is for those who care about the truth but do not know. It is not for those who know the truth but do not care. And it is not for those who do not know the truth and do not care.
Here are the facts as provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
There are 39,151,870 black people in America. That is 13.1 % of the overall U.S. population of 300 million people.
Out of this number, 55% of blacks live in the South. Irrespective of where they live, 55% of blacks live in the central cities. In New York, 3.6 million are blacks. Out of all the 50 states in America, only New York, Florida, California, Texas and Georgia have over 2 million blacks.
What this means is that depending on where you live, or where you visit when you come to America, you may have the impression that there are a lot of black people in America. The truth is that there are not many. In fact, the 2004 census shows that Hispanics have overtaken blacks as the second most populous ethnic group.
Mississippi has the highest black population at 37%. It is followed by Louisiana at 33%, South Carolina at 30 % and Georgia and Maryland 29% and Alabama at 27%. Washington D C has 60% blacks.
So in no state in America do blacks constitute a majority of the population. What that means is that without a substantial amount of white votes, no black person will be elected to a statewide office.
Only 14 states in America have a population of whites that is below 60%. You may not know this by visiting any city in America because whites tend to live in the suburbs.
Now let us look at actual voting:
Based on the 2004 election, 69% of blacks are eligible to vote. Out of that number 60% voted. For whites, 75% are eligible to vote out of which 67% voted.
As such, Blacks constitute 12 % of the population and are 12% of eligible voters. Whites on the other hand constitute 66% of the population but 74% of eligible voters. In actual voting based on the 2004 election, Blacks constitute 11% of voters while whites constitute 78%. Hispanics and Asians make up the rest.
In 2000 Presidential election, 90% of blacks voted for Al Gore. In 2004, 88% voted for John Kerry.
In 2008, some people will want to see less than 90% of blacks voting for Obama to prove that blacks are not voting for him because he is black. A question they did not ask when the same percentage of black voters voted for white Al Gore and John Kerry.
The truth is that about 90% of blacks will vote for a Democratic Party candidate irrespective of who the candidate is. And if the candidate happens to be the first black candidate to lead a major party in a presidential election ever, you are sure that vote is guaranteed.
There are 221 million white people in America. That is about 73% of the U.S. population. They can pretty elect anyone they want without the support of 24 million black voters. And they have been doing that pretty well in the last 400 years.
For the first time in the history of America, some white voters decided to take a chance on a black man. It is now causing hysteria amongst few vocal white voters. They are going to any length, throwing out any logic to explain their discomfort. Those lacking in truth go to the level of attributing the emergence of Obama to black support of his candidacy.
The hysteria about black Americans support for Obama is just what it is – hysteria of those who are afraid of something else.
The central core of racism has always been the fear that the dominating party will lose its dominance if a level playing field is allowed with the dominated party. As a result, the response has been simple – put the dominated party down. It was the motivating factor in apartheid. And it has inspired all the hysteria we currently see surrounding Obama’s candidacy for the president of the United States.
Giving all these statistics, Obama’s place in this election is a proof that America is the greatest nation on earth. America’s truth cannot be hidden. It can be twisted but it cannot be torn. America’s drive for a “more perfect union” cannot be hindered by the very few who are determined to derail it out of fear that the American ideal will prevail in Obama’s case as it often does.

Go back and read ”Why Republicans lost the Black Vote.” If you care about your Republican Party, go and do something about it.
Stop chasing shadows. 90% of Black voters have been voting for the Democratic Party and they will continue to do so until you guys in the Republican Party do something about your platform.
Stop panicking. Stop panting. Stop foaming. The world is not coming to an end. 24 million black voters will not derail your world. You have another 200 million voters to work with.
Let yourself imagine the impossible. That way you will get over your fears. It is consuming you. The sad thing is that you do not know it.
Oh, I forgot. You are sophisticated.
Pleassssssssssssse!
”Stop, stop, stop.”
”Panicking, panting, foaming.”
Doesn’t sound very calm to me, dear. Sounds like panic. Sounds like you are doing EXACTLY what you accuse me of.
What a giant hypocrite!
But EXCUSE me. It’s OK for YOU to panic, pant and foam — because you are RUDOLF THE GREAT.
LOL!
So many ignorant, judgmental things come out of your mouth! How dare you jump to that conclusion wihtout asking me!! Outrageous!! Your as bad as any racist! What a hypocrite! And this isn’t the first time you’ve done it either! Shame on you!!!
Check out this post on my blog Publius Pundit, where I say exactly what you’ve said about McCain concerning Obama:
http://publiuspundit.com/2008/03/the_devils_advobama.php
I’ve actually written a post saying Obama woudln’t necessarily be so bad. Now where is YOUR post devoted to that message about McCain, huh Mr. Hypocrite? You bury your statement in a lousy comment!
You really are one of the most amazing hypocrites I’ve ever seen. You really should learn some discipline or your big mouth is just going to get you in deeper and deeper and deeper.
I don’t have the time to follow you about across the web. I base my judgment on what you write here. If you really think that President Obama will not necessarily be bad for America and the Republican Party you won’t be in the break-the glass, jump-off-the-cliff mood you have manifested across this site.
I hope that now that I have forced that possibility out of your mouth on this site, you can now proceed to lambaste Obama with a calmer demeanor. Like someone who knows that President Obama will come and go while America will remain.
Unlike you, I won’t ask that you devote a post to Obama’s message. Just devote more on your man’s message – McCain. That will do for now. Maybe if you do that, you might convert one soul out there.
While you are at it, just don’t flood the web with your own 3Rs. Post it once and you can be sure that I will read.
Have a great weekend.
Forced? Rudy, you’re SUCH A LIAR. YOU NEVER ONCE ASKED ME THAT QUESTION. Had you, I would have answered.
You refuse to praise McCain in a post on this blog, yet you demand I praise Obama. WHAT CHILDISH HYPOCRISY!
I’ll go right on publishing tough criticism of Obama until election day and thereafter. If he wins, we conservatives will destroy his presidency just like we destroyed Carter and Clinton, because we believed their policies were bad for America, and just like you liberals have destroyed Bush. Your attempt to silence me is simply ridiculous and outrageous. You sound just like Stalin!
I support his call for progress and the idea that patriotism doesn’t come from waving a flag or blindly following a broken system. True patriotism is recognizing your country’s flaws and then doing something even more radical: fixing them.
And moreover, you’re ignoring actual point of this discussion. Nobody disputes that Obama has real support that is not race-based. The issue we’re discussing is whether it’s a good idea for Stalin-like majorities of blacks to mindlessly support him by 95% of more, totally different from any other group of voters. It’s a pity you couldn’t at least try to address that topic rather than trying to change the subject. Seems almost like propaganda.
Look, whatever Stalin did to you I do not know. I, however, sympathize with you. But just know that you are looking at the whole wide world from that prism. Maybe you should forgive him and give yourself a break.
Don’t be afraid to look back. Nobody is following you. Nobody is trying to silence you. So maybe you can stop screaming -at least Stalin is not following you. The man is long dead. …Unless you see dead people. But that will be a different kind of problem, don’t you think?
And if Putin owes you, let us know. We can pinch in to help.
But if you owe Putin, well, in that case, I say keep dialing 911 or whatever the number they dial in Russia.
Check this out: McCain and Me.

While you try to destroy your opponent- Obama, I try to deconstruct my opponent – McCain
http://rudolf-ogoo.instablogs.com/entry/deconstructing-senator-john-mccain/
It is all in the language, Madam. When two people are having an argument, the one that resorts to calling the other “ignorant”, “evil”, “dumb”, “retarded”, “demented”, “Stalin”, is the one that has ran out of POINTS.
Peace.
I have voted DEM for 40 years and will NOT support this man for many reasons, preferably his lack of DOCUMENTED leadership. This is not the time to tutor a wet behind the ears novice IMHO.
It’s your beloved Clintons who are all smoke and mirrors when it comes to African Americans. Just what did they ever actually do? What major piece of civil rights legislation came out of the Clinton Administration? Ask Lani Guinier or the Rwandan people about the Clintons’ support for people of color.
You’re just angry because we finally woke up.
I’m fed up with you so-called life long Democrats who suddenly won’t vote for the nominee (gee, I wonder why). Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
He has nothing to offer Americans except hype and bad laws.
We need McCain, Obama can run later when he gets experience and drops the AFL CIO and Lawyers that run his campaign now.
JOHN McCAIN’S 3R ECONOMIC PLAN 2008
Abbreviated version
Progressive Republican Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan. In the persona of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain’s plan just makes sense.
1. RETHINK: America must see globally on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and meet the demands that face the world.
“RE-Think” the basic job goals involve the dwindling retirement, health care and social security plans that are failing Americans. With a strong base and a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) America has a new bargaining chip in the way we live and the ways we retire.
Private Sector framework is in place and current laws allow the 3R to happen. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done by crossing party lines will resurrect America.
2. REFORM: The American people must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components. We will lead the way of MFG again!
The USA will reform its dead manufacturing base to create the most innovative and green-engineered products possible. We will compete in a world market along with other high quality products. Our Private Sector teams are making this reality now.
3. REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world’s marketplace in the competitive manner, as the USA has always been proud to be #1.
Americans are going back to McCain’s 3R-schooling program where they are paid to reinvent their skills and learn new skills to design and lead their personal LLC, Corporation or joint venture company. That’s easy enough to comprehend and just as easy to implement. The 3R plan is designed as a six-month rapid advancement system. Graduates may return for additional skill enhancements from time to time, or step up after new advanced training in executive mngmnt.
NUTS AND BOLTS of the plan are simple.
Green Engineering firms with actual answers to viable fossil fuel free transportation and climate control for homes and office have products that will save end users billions per year have finally realized why these ideas have always been avoided. Billions of savings equates to millions of lost tax revenue from energy companies.
Here is the John McCain 3R solution.
McCain’s 3R is about technical, closely monitored and rapid hands on training from pros to create new pros. Thousands of currently-job-displaced “once leaders in the manufacturing arena” will be asked to train and play instructor rolls in the 3R plan. Paid, of course, as these new leaders will help create a whole new style of prosperous America.
Creating a new guard for Social Security.
While manufacturing is a very important part of this plan, thousands of other new businesses must to be created to meet the new surge of 3R manufacturing industries to create a new era of prosperous Americans.
Initial estimates of 1 in 5 students will begin his or her own company and drive even more Americans into a viable lifestyle with real jobs, real benefits and a retirement to look forward to.
This 3R plan will be done without costing taxpayers (or the government) additional funds. America has the means to follow through with John McCain’s 3R plan, ready and in place across the USA. The buildings we need sit vacant for the most part. By assuming leases on abandoned stores and factories across America with MC-3R schools and mini-manufacturing training centers, the USA made products can be sold and support the stores. Building owners write off the loss in taxes over a few years if they donate the space!
This is the new place for financial speculators to invest!
The speculators who first drove the economy with mortgage investments and most recently with crude oil investments have a better arena for their investments. America as nation of industrious individuals who want to work and want to succeed will make them huge profits. The supply of eager Americans with ideas and dreams to prosper is limitless.
Although the thousands of new businesses manufacturing USA Made products is exciting enough, the real excitement comes from the massive amount of additional jobs that will be created to provide the new housing, new buildings, new parks, shopping, grocery stores, schools, government outlets and so much more.
McCain’s Progressive nature embodies Theodore Roosevelt more than any US presidential candidate in history since the original Rough Rider blazed the greatest era of growth in America.
We need John McCain to lead our nation with the same type of change.
That’s racism, isn’t it?
”In 2000 Presidential election, 90% of blacks voted for Al Gore. In 2004, 88% voted for John Kerry.”
Al Gore had been vice president of the United States and John Kerry had been a senator of very long standing, involved in national policy for a very long time. If you had taken the time to actually read my post, you would have seen that my point was Obama’s lack of such qualifications invite racial polarization, and that he’s done nothing to address this fact.
”The truth is that about 90% of blacks will vote for a Democratic Party candidate irrespective of who the candidate is.”
If a white person said that about blacks, they’d be called racist. I gave blacks much more credit than that. Maybe I was wrong. Are you so sure that they are such mindless robots?
”This one is for those who care about the truth but do not know. It is not for those who know the truth but do not care. And it is not for those who do not know the truth and do not care.”
