The point is, moron, that "Dixie" has nothing to do with racism. Although, I'm used to hearing that kind of argument from people whose mind can only grasp very generalized, oversimplified notions and who are forced to apply these ignorant, broad-brushed ideas to everything they come in contact with. |

Yes, I'm sure that as a result there's still some racism in St. George.

Still waiting to hear back about other possible reasons why race could be a factor and your opinion there on. |

I wonder what % of the 20% were black
I'd guess pretty high. I find it much more likely that blacks voted FOR Obama because of race than whites voting AGAINST because of race.
But racist blacks are fine ... it's the evil whitey we have to watch out for. Racism sucks ... in all its forms.

One point where I WILL agree with MW, though, is that I wouldn't lend any credence to the # 2 out of 10. I think there were lots of people for whom race was an important factor who didn't admit to it. That's a very unscientific poll. And I will agree with FM that most of those who didn't admit it were probably in the Obama camp, although I don't really know. Perhaps there are more racists than I'd like to believe. |
