I think you may be missing a key cnopoment to the "Blacks only vote for blacks" meme.I'm not so sure it has much to do with blacks, at least not directly. After all, the wingnuts know blacks are not going to support Mc Cain, and that Loon Palin, and I don't think they really care. In fact, I don't remember them ever trying to engage the black community in a sincere way.Maybe it might influence the most gullible of the gullible, but beyond that, I think this has far more to do with white people.The wingnuts, via the Internet, have been very successful at spreading the idea that Obama is secretly a "Black Extremist."You see it everywhere-"Obama spent his childhood surrounded by Radicals.""Obama associates with Radicals. Why, they're the ones who paid his tuition at Harvard.""Obama is going to turn America over to the Radicals if he's elected."And by "Radicals" they mean, blacks who hate white people.It also reinforces the idea that Obama, and his supporters don't "Love America" the way they should."They're just voting for him because he's black. They don't care about our country. They're Racists."Seriously, this kind of bullshit is everywhere. I've even seen it on "Liberal" blogs.The wingnut agenda is based exclusively on Fear, and this, for many in my race, is one of the biggest; An "Angry Black Man," with power.One other thing. I also think it plays on the mindset "If blacks can vote for a guy because he's black, then why isn't it okay for me to vote for a guy because he's white?"That's my take.
