I certainly hope so, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed until the election anyway.RebeccaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113907852048577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-54980827560781065652012-09-22T11:15:04.206-04:002012-09-22T11:15:04.206-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.JorgXMcKiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509568525555189690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-60306064538938991622012-09-22T11:11:40.443-04:002012-09-22T11:11:40.443-04:00I have many former students who are black and with...I have many former students who are black and with whom I'm in relatively frequent contact [Facebook, LinkedIn, etc]. They seem to fall into 3 groups: Black conservative/Republicans [maybe 5%] who are standing up and castigating those who "believed' in Obama; Blacks who think re-electing Obama is very important for American Blacks [this includes at least one strong Republican who routinely makes that argument] -- maybe 33-40%; and the dispirited who have evidently given up on Obama [and maybe the whole system] who seem to make up the other half.<br /><br />Now, this is not a random sample, but it *is* a sample of usually interested, usually informed group of youngish [20s to late 40s] Black citizens. I don't think it's that far out of line with the greater Black community.<br /><br />Given the responses on Facebook to the posts by my students, I'm guessing the Black community is very divided at this point over whether it is worth voting for Obama again.<br /><br />I think I get a little glimpse that most don't [even my students, let alone their friends, seem to forget I'm white and I'm 'listening' to them]. That glimpse seems to dhow some difficulty for Obama.JorgXMcKiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509568525555189690noreply@blogger.com
