Reply #101: That's a pretty bizarre leap of logic

Do you really think that the ONLY reason that black voters would vote for someone other than Hillary Clinton is that they are so stupid and blinded by race that they just wander off to whomever happens to have brown skin?

So, how do you explain:

1) At the beginning of the campaign, black voters supported Hillary over Obama 2-1. Did those voters not know that Obama was black and only later discovered that fact, prompting them to desert Hillary as soon as they found out?

2) 80% of black voters voted for white candidates in 2004 AGAINST a black candidate. Were black voters smart, discerning and color-blind in 2004, able to vote for non-black candidates with no problem, but got color-struck in 2008 and couldn't help but vote for the black guy?
