| Why do you think 90% of black are voting for Obama?
Most believe that it is solely because he is a black Democrat who has a real chance. I partially agree with that, but I think if Colin Powell were to run as a Republican he probably would get it, too.But there is a strong possibility also that, since Obama grew up in a very tough way, that his experience leads him to deal with problems that many black people have to deal with (especially in "urban" situations). His plans for helping people may speak more to them; while different problems in more white-oriented communities may not feel the same way about Obama's solutions.In which case, it would not be based on race all that much. It would be based on experiences of the races; still race-related but they would be voting on the issues. It would just be voting on how they see the issues because of the respective experiences.It may literally not be because Obama is black...whether people vote for him or against him.
