First off, 37% of blacks aren't illiterate. According to literacy online, 83% of blacks were literate by the time they reach the 11th grade.

Secondly, black people voting for Obama is not the equivalent of the KKK or a white supremacy group supporting McCain. Black people (and the black power movement) are not a homegrown terrorist organization that freely murdered people like the KKK did for almost 100 years.

Third, are you saying that blacks are not qualified to vote simply because the majority of blacks want to see a black president in their lifetime? It certainly helps that Obama is a democrat who supports issues that many African Americans rally behind.

The racist undertones of your post are very disappointing.
