It was a high 90 percentile portion of black voters that voted for him. Get to work on finding more videos.

No, one was enough and I posted four, thus proving my point that blacks DID in fact vote for obama because he's black, or claims to be. Not all, but many.

I would've never denied it. I would venture to say that most wouldn't have voted Republican in the first place.

Most wouldn't have voted in the first place, period.

How is that (in and of itself) racist? Do you not believe that black people were highly motivated to turn out for Obama?

Perhaps saying he ONLY got elected is an overstatement... but it isn't racist.

It seems to me that you have to make what is perhaps racist assumptions about the people (whom I presume were white) you are speaking of to claim that they are being racist.

If the non-black vote was split 46-50 in favor of the Republican, and the black vote went 98% to Obama, then by many descriptions, he won because of the black vote. That isn't a racist comment. It involves race, but it doesn't ascribe qualities or shortcomings to people based on their race.... it merely observes their actual, documented behaviors and breaks them down by race.

this is precisely the sort of "non racist" racist comment I am tired of.

I can't deny that.

But all of a sudden, when one of those candidates and eventual winner is a black man, I become labeled a racist. I cannot express how offensive that is.

I agree. I've been voting conservative since my first presidential election in 1980 (Reagan v. Carter). But since I voted Republican in 2008 and 2012, now I'm a racist. Voting against Obama had absolutely nothing to do with the fact he was the most liberal senator.
