10. I think we need to remember this happened in a southern state
I wonder if voting in a bloc is as pronounced elsewhere. The South only got rid of Jim Crow segregation 45 years ago and it didn't go without kicking and screaming. The history of white power over blacks was much more overt. I think this has something to do with the black vote being so united behind a black candidate who actually has a chance of winning the nomination. In other places, the vote may not be so unanimous for Obama.
