If black voters want to support a candidate whose policies are good for the black community, or who has a proven track record of working for the black community, or whatever, of course it makes sense to do so. In the case of Obama, he also happens to be black himself.

I would say Ron Paul has a much better plan to help the black community than Obama ever dreamed of. Who can refute that fact when RP wants to get rid of all of the non violent prisoners and the obvious fact that there are disproportionaly more blacks per population than any other race incarcerated. This would lend credence to the fact that this man wants to help, I mean obviously that policy would help all people, but certainly it would effect the black communities the quickest and most noticeably. And thats just one small issue where he is a better choice than Obama. Doing away with an income tax and abolishing the FED and the IRS = instantly more money to spend in your pocket again helping the poorest people first which again helps the black community. Just saying, skin color is irrelevant when another man has superior policy.

I predict Obama will lose to Ron Paul if there is a head to head match-up. Even a large portion of the black community will turn away from Obama for some sensible policies.

Why is that food for thought? Think about why YOU think that is food for thought. There is something embedded in the mere suggestion that this would be food for thought.

What is embedded in that suggestion makes your "exceptions" and "outliers" no longer so, including for yourself.
So?

Go back to your kitty litter box. Not going to play with you.

My food for thought is about what the Kappas and Omegas would do. The article seemed to imply that they were supporting Obama because he was black. There is no or very little mention of his policies. So if Cain had run against him what would they (Kappas and Omegas) do? You would now have a person in a position to be the second black president.

I would vote for Cain in a heartbeat.

What part of the site asks people to vote because he's black?

The mission of 1911 United is to invigorate the electorate across all 12 battleground states to not only take responsibility for educating themselves on the electoral process, but to also encourage all who will listen to re-elect the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Yes, our goals include registering millions of voters. Yes, our goals include recruiting an army of volunteers for President Obama. However, our primary objective in this endeavor is to simply educate voters on the issues most pressing to their financial, social, educational, and occupational outlooks. People need to know who they are voting for and why. People need to be abreast of pertinent issues that will affect our children for years to come. This is why Ques and the Nupes have partnered up to spearhead a new movement for our country, an educationally uplifting and powerful movement. We need YOUR help. Are you in? I’m in!
The article says that the group is looking to get more AAs registered to vote, but that has nothing to do with 1911 United. Most (if not all) of the NPHC organizations take part in civic engagement within the AA community on a regular basis.

Well, kitty litter, being Black is not the only thing that counts. So, again, why is this food for your thought?

That was Ghostwriter's food for thought because race is less the exception than Ghostwriter wanted to admit.

Wait. What?

You're not making sense, even for a Cain supporter.
