VWB = Voting While Black....the plague of the nation

I recently saw a video about a main guy...

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/maine-republican-chair-cries-voter-fraud-bec

Claiming that "dozens" of Blacks came into vote in an area that by his estimation has absolutely no Black people and he "wasn't sure where they came from" ----if only I was there. I came from a crack in the wall---obviously I'm a roach, we don't die we multiply. Ugh...

Then I remember a few weeks ago someone posted this video:

A nice little man calls 911 complaining about Black people voting.

We also have the Republican Veep Candidate stating: "...turnout, especially in urban areas,..." :

Here--he's just blaming all minorities.

When I hear people say racism is dead? It is not dead, it's just not seen as racism. This is just a norm for them, and the are rarely called out about it. They are videoed, they are recorded. But it's not racism, because no one really reprimands their actions and call it what it is.

VWB is most definitely part of the dialogue and American lexicon. JBB should be one---Just Being Black....

~sigh~ My issues about race rears it's ugly head again.

I hadn't seen that one. And then had the nerve to try to explain it. What would he have done on a Souls to the Polls Sunday?
