Do you understand the difference between individual racism and institutional racism? Do I believe there are racist black folks? 100% yes but that is not what intellectual people talk about when dealing with issues of race. You look at things like predatory lending practices geared towards minorities, housing discrimination, education funding etc... I have abstained from the race issue because it is way more complex than a guy calling you a cracker at a bar.

So again it goes both ways, and the truth is that no black man will no what is like to a be a white person in a country that seems to hate the majority and make special rules for the minority. It goes both ways.

When my grandfather came to America in 1924, he was riding at the back of the bus and was often called a "wetback" because he couldn't speak English, probably similar to your Italian ancestors, however, all he ever had to do to overcome the bigotry was learn English, blacks can't change the color of their skin. As I said before, there are MANY racist blacks, but if you think that racism is equally a two way street, you're nuts and this honkey knows what he's talkin bout.

If Obama doesn't win, it isn't because of racism...
|
Well, let me posit this to you...
Suppose on the even of the election, Gallup conducts a poll showing Obama with a 7 point lead on election night and ahead by the same margin in places like Ohio, Florida and North Carolina. Everyone is saying the lead is insurmountable.
On election day, Obama loses by 1 or 2 points in each of those States.
What then? Race?
Are you telling me that you do not believe that some honkeys are telling pollsters they are PrObama, when in fact they have NO intention of "pulling the trigger" and voting for a black man?
I'll guarantee you this... I don't know who will win, but Obama's poll numbers are MUCH higher than what he'll get in votes because I've had many other honkeys tell me that they "just can't vote for a black guy". Balee Dat!
