Connecting our Demographics



In this article an African American women named Clara Vereen expresses her opinion about a black candidate running for president. “I’ve got enough black in me to want somebody black to be our president” she said. She also describes how she is concerned of Barrack Obama safely if he is elected for president. The article says how black women are a "crucial constituency" in South Carolina because half of the state’s democratic primary voters were black.

In my last blog i talk about how in a lot of the southern states most of the population is African American. Wouldn't you think that Barrack Obama has more of an advantage in these parts of the country? I also talked about how these statistics got to be that way. My opinion was that it was because of where they originated from.

Personally i think these southern states have somewhat to do with voting for Barrack Obama becuase of his race. It is said that Obama targeted alot of his campain in these areas for a reason. If most of the southern states have accoiation with Obama then would it make sense for the eastern states to go up for Mc Caine?
