The implication that black people are blindly voting for a black candidate is stupid and simplistic - think a little people, jeez. Other black candidates have not enjoyed this level of support - other black candidates that were 100% black - not 50%. This is about black voters voting for somebody they believe represents them and their views - and yes, being black is PART of that thought process. Just like white middle class voters factoring in race in their Hilary votes - is this really surprising to anybody? People can parse this anyway they want, but the bottom line is he is going to win because he is in the majority - or more specifically he represents the Popular view - how can you argue with that?
