I think there's still a lot of racism in America, but I'm proud there wasn't enough to keep Obama from getting elected, and it's looking like, even with all the racists fully awake and energized, there won't be enough to keep him from being re-elected, even now when we know he's just a regular mixed-race man doing his best.

I don't think everyone who doesn't support him is a racist, but I think there is enough racism that it affects the election. That's how I see it And I think a lot of it is so insidious that the folks who will vote against him because of his race will often not realize or acknowledge it, just be open to accepting any of the cock-a-mamie excuses available, ie Muslim, foreign born, socialist, welfare facilitator.. ..doesn't matter any thing that can spring from the fertile brain of the bigots and then dog-whistled by their standard bearers
