THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE 2012 ELECTION

WASHINGTON (AP) — Making history, America’s blacks voted at higher rates than whites in 2012, lifting Democrat Barack Obama to victory amid voter apathy, particularly among young people, new census data show. Despite increasing population, the number of white voters declined for the first time since 1996.

Blacks were the only race or ethnic group to show an increase in voter turnout in November, most notably in the Midwest and Southeastern U.S., the Census Bureau said Wednesday. The analysis, based on a sample survey of voters last year, is viewed as the best source of government data on turnout by race and ethnicity.

The Associated Press reported last week that black voter turnout surpassed whites for the first time, based on an analysis by experts of earlier data.

yeah 3:26 because there's no way blacks would have decided to just show up to the polls

That and voter apathy - thinking that they couldn't overcome the Democrat fraud......

I voted - and encouraged everyone that I know to vote as well - some still don't care!

Most of the reason they voted for him was he was black and the entertainment. They really did not care about his past or his policies. All they knew that he was black and this was something that had never been achieved in their lives. That is the wrong reason to vote fir someone bases in their skin color.People should really stop and do their reasearch on their candidate and.Even Republicans should do their research as much as John McCain was against Barack Obama he voted in favor of the internet sales tax.We need a person that stands for fiscal responsibility,limited government.and stands behind the constitution

Get used to it. Until the Republicans put up a legitimate candidate and stiffle the batshit crazies on their side, GOP voters will stay away. Seriously, the Republican Primary debates looked more like an episode of the Gong Show than of serious and qualified candidates.

I think that they may now realize it was a mistake. vote him in just to have a black man in office. I know that there are some qualified black men who would fit the bill. just not this one.
