So many of my white brethren are racists. Some of 'em won't admit it. Maybe because it's so shameful. Nobody really wants to be called a racist. I've talked to many people who voted against Barack Obama. They'll give you a variety of reasons. But with some, the underlying reason is his blackness. They really secretly don't like it that a black man is so articulate, and relatively liberal. He makes persuasive arguments against their conservative ideology. Makes them feel uncomfortable. Maybe even a little bit inferior. Some of 'em even want Obama to fail. Just because he's Obama. Because he's black. No other reason. Can't be more racist than that. --Jim Broede
