No surprises really besides the 40% thing which has got to be far too high.

I bet they just polled 1000 people from kentucky.

I realized long ago that I couldn't keep all black people down, so I married one and just focus on her. If one of you had had the foresight to marry Obama, we wouldn't be in this mess today :)

I hear Kentucky has the highest population of racists in the world. Don't ask for statistics, I just know. It's not like I'm being judgmental like a racist or anything, I just know for fact.

Interesting that there were no statistics regarding the percentage of non-whites that were voting for Obama simply because he is not white. Everyone seems to think that whites are the only ones that are racist. If you are black and hate white people, it makes you a racist as well.

Well said.

Edit: I especially enjoyed the sarcasm of the bolded part.

You don't have stats on this because you are pulling this info out of your rearend. Southern states have the reputation for being inherently racist, but racism exists everywhere in the U.S. I am originally from Florida and yes, we had a lot of "good ole boys" that were very openly racist, but that has quelled over the years as the population has become very multiracial. I now live in Ohio and run into what I would consider just as much racism, if not more. It is also a much less culturally diverse area, which probably doesn't help.

What he said. I went back to my dad's home town area of upstate New York (Montour Falls), with my wife. We went into a Pizza Hut and the restaurant went silent. We seated ourselves and the waitress was actually having trouble talking to us and her hands shook a little. The rest of the patrons were looking at us sideways and shushing their kids the whole time. Big laughs after driving from "racist SC" where no one cares (except for certain night clubs and bars.

Yeah, admittedly, NY has a big population of ignorant racists. Small town NYers have a LOT of prejudice built up inside of them.

Not to the point of violence or even vocally- but its there. Spend some time with them and you'll know it.

He probably doesnt like Puerto Ricans or Cubans either. Even within the "Spanish" population there is racism between the different nationalities. Look at Italians and Irish even. How many people would refuse to vote for a presidential candidate that was Catholic? Or Jewish? Hindu?

Interesting that so many people really think Americans are that enlightened.

Well Im sorry but if african americans and I use that term loosely want to hold a grudge over slavery because their great granpa was a slave. Well then I have a grudge against them because my great granpa died freeing them. The whole racist thing is stupid, any one thats been in the army knows we are all really green.
