88% of African Americans voted for John Kerry in 2004 so we can make the assumption African Americans almost always for Democrats. 94% for one race is a crazy number though

Do you have a source for that.
Thanks.
This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy's religion as Islam.(AP Photo/ Tatan Syuflana)

Out of context...
"John McCain hasn't made any accusations regarding "my Muslim faith" and that's because... "
"*Interruption* you mean Christian Faith"
"Well yes but my point is McCain hasn't made these accusations (that others are/were making)".

You can do better than that video I'm sure.

(response to MotherMayEye) Yes those are definitely indicators, but that does not actually mean he is Muslim.
So I will take him at his word and accept his religion as demonstrated by his last attendance at 'church'.
.....that would be the extremist racist Black Liberation Theology church of Rev. Wright.
Not me. I believe Obama to be the type of serial liar that is not above obfuscating his religious beliefs. He's earned my distrust far more than my trust.

I really believe its because successful black people leave black communities and don't invest in their old communities

Not all, but yes I agree. The thing is, it's not just "blacks", every single one of us should stand up for what's right. I don't mean ideologies, i mean support from all angles. Stop pointing fingers guys (in general).

Black people generally don’t have these kinds of businesses and this is reflected all over the country
Believe me if their not in the black community they certainly are not in any white community
Black people generally are just too dam poor to have businesses and cant get financing
This was one of Malcolm X's principles, why were black folks paying money to white store owners? Why aren't black folk opening stores in their own communities, is there systemic discrimination to keep black folks from getting financing?
Of course that’s been the case but that’s not the only problem
I tell you the biggest problem is that black people have to do it alone.
There are black businesses but their not community based because community business has been monopolized by in black communities: Dominicans: grocery stores, Indians, liquor stores and dollar stores, Koreans, and Dominicans and Arabs, in NYC grocery stores, Arabs and Afghans have the small take out restaurants.
The only thing they got is the crack house
Even in white communities these groups are taking over.

I would agree that some do get out, as it seems successful black businessman are frowned upon by those less fortunate, much like black children pick on the smarter blacks in school.
This is a sad state of affairs.
I remember decades ago working as a bartender in a 4-star restaurant....there was a local black architect that would commonly enter my bar about 10 minutes before closing time, usually with a guest (a date). He continued to do this thru my entire employment there....because I welcomed him. He was extremely generous, and I was more than glad to keep the bar open just for him and his date on any night he chose to come in. To me he was no different than any other executive that I served, and in some ways he was the most courteous of any of them.
In no way do I believe all blacks are racist. But I acknowledge that there are definitely racist blacks.
That is a truth we need to accept and the black community needs to address, as no less important than any other racism.
