Election Demographics

[parishht]

This is an exit poll,
so that is 95% of the people asked.
Even though 95% of the black vote was for Obama,
it was only 13% of the total voters. HHHMMMMMMMMM

If you interpret well the difference in percentage between the white vote for both candidates and the black vote for both candidate you can conclude that white people have overcome the racial barrier, what about the black people?

Seems pretty racist to me. And why can't they refer to me as a Northern European American.... even though I wasn't born there nor have I ever visited?
