Well "the news" can report anything they like, but their is no way that 1/3 of registered voters are going to admit to negative thinking about Black people. How do you even poll such a thing (especially without bias)? Care to give a source?

well the only reason i feel negative about minority voters ( any race) is that their only voting for obama because hes of color..
didnt know my country was full of retards.

That's obviously not the case.  I would say easily, 95% of the people that are voting for Obama, voted for Kerry in 2004.  Personally, I'm voting for Nader in the upcoming election since I'm not a swing state.  But I'm not gonna judge the people that are choosing Obama over McCain because he's seen as the lesser of two evils.  Forget political ideologies for a second, I would just be much more comfortable with Obama/Biden than McCain/Palin.  McCain and Palin are really two different sides of a "Republican" party, and the funny thing is that they're missing the most important ideology with the Republican party, conservatism. 

Low Key:
Stereotypes tend to be very true in my experience, so I guess I am part of that 1/3. Of course, I don't know too many black people who aren't racist in some way towards whites either. It's a two way street and it's always going to play some underlying factor in almost every part of our lives. Just because there is a presidential candidate who happens to be black doesn't automatically exempt all other black people from stereotypes they themselves perpetuate. I believe this world is far more racist by the way businesses and schools strive for minority applicants solely for funding, which is quite a large step in the wrong direction for affirmative action.
