The afroamericans are voting Obama as much as 95% and white americans around 50 - 50. Personly i dont care about skin colors to make my decision. Black americans are voting just because of skin color and it is their right to do it. I respect their decision idem if i dont agree with that. I think this behavior is dangerous for american society and a big step backwards in the USA´s way of thinking.

You're making excuses for it that in the end will only serve to hurt the black community, not help it as other ethic groups will resent the hypocrisy. Based on the numbers, women appear much more able to evaluate a candidate and vote on attributes other than gender than blacks on race at 85-90% for Obama with blacks and a close split for Obama vs. Clinton among women. I'm still undecided. I'm going to vote for the best candidate to rule the country regardless of race or gender. Now that it's down to to men, I say let the best man win, and anyone voting primarily based on race, is a racist...by definition...and I will not make excuses for them.
