Hard to Make this stuff up...........

I don't buy that for a second. Here in rural Western Ky, racism is not even close to being extinct. I heard it daily leading up to the election - "there is no way I can vote for a ......." so they pulled the lever for McCain. I just bite my tongue and go on. Some people are just ignorant and stuck in the past. So to think racism against blacks is a thing of the past is wrong - ignoring and denying the problem doesn't make it go away. I am sure plenty of whites threw their vote McCains way based on race.

Something like 55% of whites voted for McCain
Something like 96% of blacks voted for Obama...

Racisim?
What if it was the other way around? Racisim?


Also Id like to add, how many times did we hear before th election "XX% of whites said race was/was not a factor in their choice for president..." but we NEVER heard, "XX% of blacks said race was/was not a factor in their choice for president..."???

I wont say that some whites voted for McCain only because Obama is black. I infact know that happened and I think its sick. But my point is, lets not forget that white people are not the only people that view others by the color of their skin. I actually think the stats show that because Mccain only got a little more then half of white votes that for the most part whites do not judge, at least a president, by the color of their skin.
