2 in 10 WV voters said race was an important factor
in their decision.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/05/...ddemocrats.php So much for the theory that racism wasn't involved. |

After all, it was West Virginia.

I guess I am encouraged that only 2 out of 10 said race was involved. |

if 2 out of 10 admit they are racists, how many racists do you think didn't admit they were racists?
Utah is a sheltered place I know, so I'm going to have to ask you to put your thinking cap on. |

I wouldn't vote for Obama in any way shape or form. In your little myopic view on this subject I am sure no matter what I say, you will think it is because he is black. Not because it is fact, but because it fits your agenda and need. Prejudice and bias exist. If you would have just read my post and not been so concerned about your own agenda, you would realize I recognized that in my post. |

My point is that there have been people here who have claimed anti-Obama-ism has nothing to do with race.
I have proven that it has a lot to do with race. You ignore my proof and dismiss it out of hand. You have your head in the sand. |

Find anywhere that I have claimed "some", emphasis on SOME anti-Obama-ism has nothing to do with race. Of course it does. What is a lot to you Mike. 2 out of 10, 4 out of 10, 8 out of 10. Your proof of "it has a lot to do with race", proves what percentage. I might agree that 2 out of 10 is too much. Too much, is that how you define a lot. You throw out a bunch of ambigious stuff and then claim somehow you have proven something. I have my head in the sand and you have yours up your butt. No wonder a lot of what you say is crap. |

20% admitting that they are racist when someone asks them is a staggering number.
I expect 2-3 times with the same view to not reveal their racism. |

Why do you think they said race was a factor? Because blacks hate whites? Because blacks want a black candidate to win? Because whites hate blacks? Because whites hate that blacks are all voting for Obama because he's black? Because blacks perceive that whites won't vote for a black man so they vote for Obama? Because whites and blacks can't stand to see Hillary's pasty melanin-free ass on TV?
What was the breakdown, Mikey? |
