When Will They Ask If White Voters Will Vote For Romney Because He Is White?

Headline from the El Paso Times: Do black people support Obama because he's black?   http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_21765350/do-black-people-support-obama-because-hes-black?source=most_viewed

From the article: Surviving slavery, segregation and discrimination has forged a special pride in African-Americans. Now some are saying this hard-earned pride has become prejudice in the form of blind loyalty to President Barack Obama.
Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he's black? If race is just one factor in blacks' support of Obama, does that make them racist? Can blacks' support for Obama be compared with white voters who may favor his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, because he's white?
These questions have long animated conservatives who are frustrated by claims that white people who oppose Obama's policies are racist. This week, when a black actress who tweeted an endorsement of Romney was subjected to a stream of abuse from other African-Americans, the politics of racial accusation came full circle once again.
Stacey Dash, who also has Mexican heritage, is best known for the 1995 film "Clueless" and the recent cable-TV drama "Single Ladies." On Twitter, she was called "jigaboo," "traitor," "house nigger" and worse after posting, "Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future."
The theme of the insults: A black woman would have to be stupid, subservient or both to choose a white Republican over the first black president.
Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul and Obama backer, called Dash's experience "racism." Said Barbara Walters on "The View": "If she were white, this wouldn't have happened."
Considering that 90% of blacks vote Democratic, it should not be surprising they will vote for Obama and other Democrats in this next elections and more elections to come. And the question should be why?
What have the Democrats done about the problems in the inner city?  Have they reduced inner city unemployment?  Have they decreased those on government welfare?  Have they increased the number of blacks in the middle class?  
Further, many blacks have conservative social values.  Many are against gay marriage, crime in their neighborhoods, against illegal immigration and other social issues but Democrats are for gay marriage, fight for criminal's rights and fight against the police, encourage being on welfare and on other government benefits and the Democrats love illegal aliens.
So, why do Blacks support Obama and Democrats when the Democrats really don't stand for the same values many Blacks have?
And if a Black person goes off the Black political plantation, they will be ostracized by the community and threatened with physical harm.  Why, because the leaders of liberal Black community are terrified that if 1 or 2 people stray off the plantation, then others will figure out that there is life outside the Black community and they may like it, reducing the power of the leaders and taking away their lavish life style they have come to enjoy, mostly on the backs of hard working Black Americans.
So, when will the El Paso Sun Times run an article asking if white voters for Mitt Romney are voting for him because he is white?
