    This guy is also, "incorrect". Isnt that pretty much what Romney said in 2012? "There is a certain section of the voting population who depend on the govt and wont vote for me". he never even MENTIONED race yet was called racist.

    Why make broad, inherently WRONG generalizations?

    I disagree, if a GOP person was nominated for something and the left dug up a soundbite where he said that, it would be headline news. What he said doesnt bother me, its that The president of the united states feels that someone with this point of view (which is divisive and racially charged) is fit to serve in a high ranking position.

    But, Obama has never had the best judgement

    It may not be a majority of whites, but there's still some voters who will not vote for a black candidate. That's a fact. And it may be more sizable than some will admit.

    You believe acknowledging that racism still exists, which it does, is racially divisive?

    And no black people voted for the black guy because he was black.

    And there are black people who wont for a white candidate because they, are also, in turn, Racists.

    I think saying their is racism is one thing, but making broad generalizations about a voting population , which is clearly incorrect, is racially divisive.
