					<description>Wow!  Hillary won West Virginia.  &quot;Surpire, surprise, surprise...&quot; 
NOT!!!
Hillary wins big in the states bordering the Appalachian Mountains.  Draw your own conclusions...

Yes, racism is alive and well.  And many people will say one thing in public, while voting completely differently.
That is why we need to 'get out the vote' with young people.   That's what we're concentrating on here in my part of NC.  They don't look at the world the same way as do many of us older voters.  They didn't live through the Civil Right's movement; through the Affirmative Action fights.  There is resentment there...  It is a resentment of economic's - how come &quot;they&quot; move ahead and we don't (and it is this, which breeds racism).  I lived throught those years; was an activist for Affirmative Action, so, I I took away a different message than many older voters.  And the young people may well be the difference.  In fact, they will be.

There are social movements in this country which come quickly and move us towards a more progressive future.  And they seem to happen every 60 to 80 years.  From the 1770's and '80's, to the Civil War, to the 1930's and '40's, to today.  These movements wash away the past in a tsunami of sheer number's wanting change.  And change comes from the people, not from the leaders (Thom Hartman).  And people are ready for change.  Especially the young.  And in that, there is hope...</description>

					<description>Anyone who doesn't vote for Obama is a racist, right?

The Obama campaign has cried wolf on that one too many times.</description>

					<description>Barb - I been drinkin' some tonight so I unerstan ol' PFT. Cuz he's not a Repub or a Democrat and he can spot a conspiracy a mile off. The 'elitists' (and we all know who they are) have cooked up a deal to get Obama elected so he will bring about the racial strife of the 60's which will allow the righties to impose martial law which will.. I dunno what it will do... But that's the plan and I am going to have another drink. Gawd, I love a good comspiracy theory.</description>

					<description>Well, I'll go with Martin Luther King's admonition..&quot;Judge a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin.&quot; With that watchword as my guide, Obama is the only candidate who holds up to my ideal of leadership and integity.

I know racism is alive and well in America..I see it daily. And if racism prevails then it'll be..America, you reap what you sow!</description>

					<description>I posted this elsewhere it it touches on the racial strife the elite might be planning to spring on us, which is what Obama is going to be about if he wins.

&quot;There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats in substance, just style.  Republicans today molest you and make you feel soiled before hammering it home, Democrats call it foreplay and tell you it will feel good before they do the same, perhaps with a lubricant.  I prefer the Clinton style of buggery, but would rather a Democracy where we all get off, to the Fascist rape (soft or hard) of the working class that is going on.

This is why the next President will be a Democrat.  Those on the right are waking up and starting to focus on government being the problem, even a Republican government.  By having a Democrat as President, they will focus on their enemy, the Democrat, and not the fact that the government itself is fascist, no matter which party is in power.  

The liberals on the left have proven themselves to be spineless wimps.  Before GWB I considered myself a Republican, now I know better and am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. The leaders of both are un-American and traitors to the constitution, and would be hung from the lamp-poles if people were able to see through the MSM propaganda and figure out what they have done. 

If the last 8 years had occured under a Clinton Presidency, the right would have been shooting up DC and Wall Street, aiming at the liberals, who wil fight back with their keyboards.  Thats why the elite will feed them Obama or Hillary, and when things continue downhill, as they will, the right will revolt, and martial law can be imposed.  That I believe is the elites plan.  

I think they prefer Obama, as they would love to re-establish the racial strife of the 60's and early 70's.  They might even empty out some of the prisons to help fuel the fire, after all we do have the largest prison population in the world, and they get free health care, thats expensive.&quot;</description>

					<description>Well it did not work very well in my house where my wife insists that my deciding to vote for Obama was because of deepseated misogny and I thought that it best not to point out that my wife occasionally engages in some African American sterotyping herself. I think all people have a tendency to engage in tribalism and skin color is one of the easiest ways to identify a tribe. As a general rule I think where people of different skin colors interact closely on a regular basis that they tend to form tribes on the basis of other characteristics like income, education, political outlook etc. Similarly where there is virtually no contact with people who have different skin color, I think there is a greater tendency to form tribes on some other basis. While there are certainly the type of people you describe, the real problem for Obama are the white folks with Democratic tendencies who have some contact with Africa Americans but that contact is limited to seeing groups of young black people waiting for a bus with pants at mid thigh listening to loud and obscene rap music or reading about the latest drive by shooting or have lost out for a job, promotion or college spot and learned that an African American got the spot or being pan handled by an obviously alcoholic or drug abusing person with dark skin. Those folks likely will not consider themselves racist, but will have a hard time not feeling uneasy about voting for someone whose skin is darker than theirs. I admit that I am not entirely comfortable with Obama's racial heritage (and his position on the Imus deal a year ago did not help), but in the end I was very comfortable with his intelligence, education and temperment. As to Clinton, I am mostly just tired of the old politics, particularly the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton style, but I think the character flaw which lead her to make up the nonsense about dodging sniper fire sealed the deal.</description>
