I'm glad that you see. If it's racist to prefer a White man be President rather than a Black man, then it's similarly racist to prefer a Black man be President rather than a White man. These voters are seeing individuals as racial symbols - that's racism.
Look, the New York Times labeled the voters of certain Appalachian districts as racist for increasing their vote percentage for McCain over prior elections. The presumption behind that article was that preferring a White President is a manifestation of racism. I work in a university and to see so many of my colleague gushing about a Black President was sickening, especially because these White liberals are so oblivious to their blatant racism.
I'm in an Appalachian district.
Is it possible to be racist against one's own race?
Furthermore, what did you expect with a black man running as President that race was not going to be an issue what-so-ever? people answered the poll truthfully, because it is not possible to vote when it's over the first black president and the millionth white person and not have color of skin as an minimum criteria.
Where do you work? What's your position?
