Yes there are people who simply wont vote for a person because he is black and there are those who will vote for a person simply because he is. It is sad that there will be an element of Racism in the 08 elections. What is even sadder is that there are those who will use the Obama loss to further drive a rift in race relations by insinuating that Obamas loss was based wholly in racist thought and not in the fact that there is a clear and distinct choice in ideology this election cycle (not that there were not in previous elections just that it is more apparent in this one) wherein the people will choose to embrace the Conservative notion and reject the Liberal one.
This charge of Racism will be furthered by the Media and I can only assume that Jesse "I wanna cut Obama's nuts off" Jackson will spearhead the charge. In addition it will be likely that the European media will be happy to follow suit in a further attempt to demonize conservative American values.
So I ask; who is more racist; the person whose vote is based on race, or those who will use the Obama loss as a lever to instigate ill will between peoples?
