With the margin for error percentage, the support could actually be LESS than zero percent.
Somehow, I doubt that the Republicans will give a fuck.

How the NAACP speech went was intentional. Southern Strategy 2012 Edition.
And he just went right up there and whistled Dixie.

After all that's why most white people didn't vote for Obama!

(11,791 posts)I have plenty of white friends, and we all voted for Obama. In fact, everyone that I know (with the exception of some family) voted for Obama. All either white or Hispanic. That's a lot of people.

When you have dog-whistling or megaphone-blaring whites code-talking or outright saying "black people" (and then back-tracking to say "blah people" , then they are being called out as the racists, whether they vote for Obama or not.
There is no "reverse" on some scale that you are claiming. Blacks make up about 13% of the total population, about 6% of the voting age population, probably only about 4% of the registered voters, and about 3% (in a good year) of actual voters, so there is no there there in your argument.
If you look at the record, now having had a black President for the first time, ALL of the previous elections back to the 14th Amendment's time when at least black men were briefly given the right to vote, blacks basically only had a white candidate to vote for in the general election and we DID vote for that candidate based on our interests and the interests of the parties to which we belonged.
