I can't disagree with you on their being many alternative factors but when it happens repeatedly then you see a pattern. I live in a state where the Democrat Party is black. They will vote for the black candidate even if he is up on legal charges and never campaigns (they did that). Meanwhile the white GOP put Tim Scott back into the Senate.
The answer is quite simple. If the ONLY reason they voted for Obama was because he was Black, then yes, they were racist, because the put skin color first and foremost.
If they voted for Obama because they liked his platform and supported the ideas he put forth, then no, it was not racist.
I suppose somewhere, there are stats on how many people were first time voters, and who they voted for. It would clarify the answer.

Backs have been voting for Democrats in the 90% range for decades. They just need to be reminded of this when they claim that there is little progress with the conditions they claim to endure in America
But that is through family and peer pressure. When you ask them why then most have no idea. They will repeat a rant that their teachers taught them. Unfortunately those are musicians, actors, black church leaders... and they cannot back anything up.
We are told that is changing but it is not in significant numbers.
I am really surprised that Kanye has not been attacked more than we have seen. The snowflakes don't want you to talk to a conservative anymore. Like the liberals here they do not want to hear anything but themselves and the people that they agree with.

People see what they want to see. I learned that I was a racist when I voted for McCain. MSNBC and CNN talking heads told me so.
