ignorance at it's best

It's so sad you just have to laugh. The line I like the most:
Not that what he said is acceptable, but I am pretty sure he said "negro".

I couldn't tell. I wouldn't be surprised...southern vernacular is unfamiliar to me.

Lots of sad and pathetic people out there.

Let me ask this though, and this isn't to imply any of them are ignorant, but is it too far a stretch to say that while a lot of White people won't vote for Obama because he's Black, there are Blacks who will vote for him primarily because he's Black? I mean not that they are looking only at that, or that what they don't like about McCain is that he's White, but that the color of Obama's skin swings their votes in his favor.

Yes its def. ignorance at its best but who else would these people vote for? Reason I ask that is people are spinning this like McCain/Palin are attracting these people but if your a raciest who else would you be supporting. Its just a sad fact that because of Obama's skin color these nuts will support McCain just for that fact. I'm sure their are plenty of people who are voting for Obama because of his skin color alone as Smoot pointed out.

I think this issue has already been address in the past (http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lot/23495-should-hillary-hang-it-up-4.html#post448515). Simply put, black people don't vote Republican. They will vote for a democrat 9 out of 10 times.

That's pretty crazy but it doesn't shock me one bit. Hell I know people like that. It really pains me that people can be so stupid.

However, let's not paint all McCain supporters as being as ignorant as these folks. I know that wasn't the intent. There are going to be ignorant people no matter what party there involved with.

I can't believe no one has pointed out the hilarious irony of the thread title.

"It's" is a contraction (e.g. it is, it has).

"Its" is a possessive pronoun.

It is true though, this is ignorance at its (ironic) best.

So true redsk1. I think we can also say there are going to be ignorant people no matter what country there involved with. Living in southern Germany I was a little surprised how much the Turkish immigrants were reviled. Crime: everybody blamed the Turks. Weak economy: the Turks were driving down wages/incomes. Your wife cheating: she's f*ck!ng a Turk. (Ok the last one I didn't really hear from any Germans)

Seriously, bigotry and racism is a terrible but common piece of human nature. Really big when special people can help bridge the gap i.e. Ghandi and MLK Jr. Maybe Obama could be another but it's hard to say.

Seems like there's no love (http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/371959/how_sarah_palin_excluded_african_americans_in_alas ka) between the Black Community in Alaska and Palin. Not a big deal really though, everyone is entitled to do as they pleases.

Its Alaska, how many black people are really out there anyway? It'd be like me going to Montana and complaining about not catching a break.

Discrimination is wrong no matter what the circumstance but the black population out there is something like 2% or 3%... Affirmative Action really isn't gonna float too well there..
