Reply #14: A lot of Blacks see Obama as a pimp----a "slick brother"

[vaberella]

I think that's the problem a lot of people don't know or don't get. I'm from Harlem and I worked in the projects. It's not all Black people who are behind Obama and I always find the demos a bit skewed. Blacks were far more devoted and behind HRC than anyone else, and only for Clinton. A lot of the people around my way were not looking for Obama as the vote, HRC was their vote. It was actually the white people in my neighborhood who were Pro-Obama.

The Blacks saw him as slick, and definitely no Clinton---which defers their support to HRC because of her husband. And the Latino's in my neighborhood were on two ends, the racists who would never vote for a Black person and don't want to hear what he has to say but are devout Dems and the people who only like HRC because again, her husband but don't really care about her.

So seeing people go McCain because they don't like Obama, no matter the race and in paticular Black of any gender, I'm not surprised. On the other end, I know a lot of Black Caribbean Americans are Repubs. And I've met a handful of Black American Repubs men and women, so I'm not totally surprised. I just always have one question...why? I can understand not being Dem, but why go Repub out of all of them.
