Let me try and sum it up for you and then you can read my post again (feel free to move your lips).
1. The assertion was made that since 98% of blacks voted for Obama...they must be racist.
2. Totally ignoring that 88% of blacks voted for Kerry in 2004 and their vote has historically (for the last 50 years) been in the low 80% to mid-90% (94% voted for LBJ in 1964) for the Democrats.
Blacks and the Democratic Party
So, let's say that there are 150M voters in the USA and 13% (19.5M) are black. In 2004, 17.16M (88%) voted for Kerry.
In 2008, 19.11M voted for Obama (98%).
For a difference of 1.95M more for Obama in 2008.
Now, are you going to tell me that there wasn't at least a couple of million (out of the remaining 130M) that didn't vote against Obama...because he was black?
Simply using Trump's popularity as a barometer, the number that didn't vote for Obama because he was black...is probably actually closer to 10M (about 8% of white voters). He11, just counting the people I personally know (plus those on this site)...that % is substantially higher.
As to your post, what the heck does the % of black voters have to do with his OVERALL approval rating anyway?
Or do you actually think that only blacks are included in that number?
In other words, your question makes absolutely no sense...and is beyond ignorant.
Oh yeah, and by the way, The Simpleton's 'approval rating' when he slunk out of office was.....drum-roll please.... 22%!

On the other hand, Bush also achieved a 99% approval rating during his presidency and Obama has NEVER/NEVER come close to that. So, numbers are interesting but they don't put food on your plate and a roof over your head.
As far as I am concerned, Obama can fade, fade away and I hope to never see him again or hear him again. He has passed my rating of Carter being the worst president in history, with Obama now taking the number one place.
