Reply #15: Anyone who supports a spurious claim by stating "it's common knowledge" [View All]

usually doesn't know what they're talking about. Your post further proves this to be the case.

First of all, you're comparing apples and oranges.

Yes, the majority of blacks usually vote Democratic in the general election. But why would you assume that it's because we're black? There are a number of reasons that most blacks vote Democratic that have nothing to do with race. A majority of blacks are Democrats - again, for various reason - so naturally, most blacks would vote for the Democratic nominee.

But I was not discussing a question about how blacks vote in the General Election. I was discussing a question asked about how blacks were voting in the primary. And, since you're doing "the google," you should be able to verify that, during primaries, black voters do NOT vote in a bloc, but have consistently spread their support among several candidates. So it is ridiculous to assume that the fact that, this time around, black voters are not all supporting the black candidate is somehow an aberration.
