get out the racist vote
am i the only one who feels like "white hardworking americans" is a codeword for "racists"? i feel like there's an unspoken acceptance of racism by the candidates that it will benefit. personally, i'd like to see all the candidates say "i don't want your vote if you don't want to see obama in office because he's black. if you are such an ignorant person, you couldn't possibly be informed enough about politics that you should be voting."

	Well, they certainly can't call them as they are, racists, because that would mean acknowledging that racism still exists in America. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	it seemed like a year ago, though, cnn had a new story every 2-3 days about how racism was still alive and well in america. now, it feels like everyone has decided that with obama being a presidential hopefuly, there obviously can't be any racism left. it makes me very sad. (Reply to this) (Parent)
