Minorities’ vote based on race, not information

Black racism against whites. Yes, it is real, and everyone knows it! I read the Sept. 10 article “Does racial bias fuel Obama foes? How to tell?” and the message was that white people don't vote for black candidates because they are black.
That's interesting, because if that were really true, Obama would never have been elected. Now, if Obama is re-elected, it will be because most blacks will vote for Obama because he is black, period. The Democrats are counting heavily on minorities to win the election on exactly the same reality. Many Hispanics, especially those thousands of “amnesty” individuals, also will vote for Obama for the same reason.
It is my opinion that a great number of minority voters will have very little informed information to justify their reason for their vote. Am I a racist? No, I just like to keep it real.
