44. We've been hearing similar for months...

...from our fellow citizens in this crimson town. The popular rumor is that African-Americans are going to riot whether Obama wins or loses. One of my wife's coworkers told her yesterday that she heard "all the gun shops have sold out."

Another person upstate was told to take tomorrow off by her boss. He said he was going to keep his children at home on Wednesday and advised her to do the same. We keep hearing the letters "OJ" and the words "Rodney King" over and over.

It all relates to the meme that African-Americans "are no better than animals."
