Racist voters spell trouble for Obama in West Virginia?

Has anyone ever thought that it's not because he's black but because he's less qualified. I'm white and I'd vote for him if he was more qualified (and less cocky- I like someone who has a bit more humility) -not because of his skin color. When his supporters cry "the race card" it's also unfairly labeliing many white people as racist and this is a reverse prejudice that no one likes to talk about. If you don't just vote for the "right" candidate regardless of gender or color- then I'm sorry but you are doing an injustice to the truth.

How can the color of Obama's skin be a factor when people spend a fortune at tanning salons trying to buy that color? In the sixties the Democrats went to the South and registered the blacks to vote. Then Lyndon Johnson signed civil rights into law. People switched to the Republican party in droves so they wouldn't be in the same party as them. It has stayed that way, with most younger people not even knowing why they are Republican. Their parents were, so they were too. Well, times are a changing. People have started thinking and Republicans are changing parties because things are a damned big mess. They want change and they don't care the color of the person or the party that changes things. Yes, we can seems to reflect their thinking.

The media is stupid. They really don’t understand the harm they do by giving voice to the race issue. You can’t argue racism away. Logic simply doesn’t play a factor in the reasoning(or lack there of) in a prejudice person. I have friends that you could consider racist. They’re apprehensive to date white women who have been with black guys or they have an unjustified hatred of certain aspects of black culture. I could call them out on it but it would do nothing to change their beliefs.

What is the point in driving a wedge between our friendship with a disagreement when we share so many interests? In this situation you have to take the good with the bad and hope in the passing years this person will learn his prejudices are wrong. You can’t force someone to do it just by bringing it up. This is exactly what is wrong with the media.

Integration does not work when you constantly throw it the face of white people.

Run to do even a slight precept, and flee from transgression; for precept draws precept in its train, and transgression, transgression; for the recompense of a precept is a precept, and the recompense of a
transgression is a transgression. Mishnah, Abot 4.2

So you can insult white people, or more importantly racist white people but what is the point? Cry all you want about their fears and prejudice and tell everyone you can that you’re worried. Its really ridiculous to throw a wedge between white Americans because you’re only going to make them mad and mad people are stupid people.

Of course, if they vote against Obama they must be racist! After throwing around the race card for six months, now Obama supporters are worried about it coming back to bite them, to funny.
