South Carolina "Exit Poll" Asks If Blacks Are Too Demanding In Their Push For Equal Rights

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -
Some South Carolina voters are upset over an exit poll they received which referenced race and slavery.

The poll, which was handed out to voters in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg asked them to agree or disagree on statements on whether blacks don't work hard enough to advance economically, are too demanding in their pursuit of equal rights and are hindered by the effects of slavery and discrimination.

“I took this poll in Seneca,” wrote Matt Alexander, on the WSPA Facebook page. “I didn't answer some of the questions. They were overtly racist.”

“I actually thought it was a joke,” wrote Bonnie Lemley. “Apparently, it wasn't.”

The poll was conducted by David Woodard, a political science professor at Clemson University. Woodard said he was trying to prove that race has no bearing on whether whites vote for political candidates.

1. Jesus H fucking Christ.

I'm old enough to recall, more than fifty years ago, when otherwise non-bigoted people thought that blacks were pushing equality too soon, too hard.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Race ought not to matter. We should all be totally equal and able to exercise our various rights -- including voting -- without anyone noticing.

Various individuals might not work very hard. It's been my limited observation in my lifetime that those individuals include members of more than one race.

What is wrong with people?
