I have never seen so much racism in my life so close to me. I am ashamed. But i just wanted you to know that not all of us are idiots. Obama is already uniting people because this election has brought this issue right to my front door step. Right in my face, up close and very personal!
This election has forever changed the way I think about racism in these United States.
Ha ha "united" states.. please.

It is sad that you have experienced. Most of my oldest and dearest friends are black and until recentely we have always laughed at our differences. However I am shocked by the absolute racist view they share as well, willing to vote for somebody because they are the same skin color as they are.
Pot-Kettle-Black(or white or whatever).
My point is that it goes both ways and it is sad. However it takes (IMO) a certain amount of ignorance to think that it only goes one way and that 'racism' is limited to what white people do. I think that 93% (or whatever the CBS poll) of black people who are voting are voting for Obama shows far more racism then the 54% of white people (or whatever the CBS poll) that are voting for McCain.
