As a black conservative, I too sneer at African Americans voting for obama just because he is black. Most without a thought to his politics or positions regarding anything. When 92% of a race almost literally block votes for a particular candidate, something is seriously wrong, in my opinion. And I'd feel the same way if the shoe were on the other foot. In my people voting for Obama or any other democratic candidate because "he's black," or "that's what we do," we have thrown away the invaluable right of suffrage and given up our free will for groupthink. That is extremely dangerous.

Wholeheartedly agree. I would also say the same of labor unions and the Conservative Christian Right. If you give away your voting power, you will receive nothing but pandering and maybe a few scraps here and there in return.
