While you're taking all these looks, you might want to take a look at the outreach attempted by the GOP in 2000, and the subsequent 90%+ black voting margin for the Dems. You may also want to look at the treatment blacks gave other black GOP candidates, like Michael Steele. You may also want to look at how the liberal establishment treats blacks like Condi Rice and Colin Powell.
The black "community" has shot themselves in the foot with the GOP, every bit as much as vice versa. They've sold themselves wholesale to the Dems for a bill of goods ... some of their own "leaders" even say so (see Jesse Jackson).
Imagined racism is good for the Dems. It prevents otherwise clear-thinking black folks from giving the GOP an honest look. Meanwhile people like you are surprised to find folks not nearly as racist as you think they are.
Amusing.
