This is also a big step for black people, so it's not hard to see why black people would appreciate this event. He can stand for a good role model and a milestone in history.
If you look at some of the interviews of supporters from McCain's rally, they all were dumb-founded rednecks that dislike Obama because "he is a terrorist Muslim." So, in reality, I think black people voting for a black man doesn't rank nearly as high on the fcked-up-ness scale as dumb racist rednecks that have all the wrong reasons to 'hate' someone that is basically smarter than them. They get spoon-fed blatantly untrue information and immediately it becomes fact in their mind.
