Di,
People do not have to be in a minority to study or understand politics. Your argument does not hold water. How do you explain the hispanics supporting Clinton with such wide margins? Even though they were pandered by Kennedy and Kerry to vote for Obama.

I've often seen the hispanic vote split for hispanic candidates running against white or black candidates.

Blacks in Los Angeles would overwhelmingly vote for a black candidate. However, I can recall rare instances when they would vote for a white candidate such as when they would repeatedly reelect Kenny Hahn as a county supervisor in LA's south central LA district.

Perhaps you should drop your kneejerk reaction when anyone questions the blacks' motivations in overwhelmingly supporting a black candidate. It is unusual and when we study politics we attempt to understand why there is this phenomena. Wanting to understand does not make us racist...just political scientists.

I rather doubt your theory of 90% of NA or Asians voting as a block. That's just not been historically true. Hmm...I wonder if most of the black churches have been politicizing when they should be sermonizing on Sundays...hmm...could mean the IRS may be investigating...lol

Voting for someone who represents a minority group is the inherent nature of being in a minority group. People project their qualities on whoever is representing them. That fact is magnified a thousand times when history is owned by the majority.
The fact that you don't understand this only indicates that you're not part of a minority.
