CBC News went to a South Carolina barbecue to discuss Obama. |
|
One guy said that deep down inside Obama is a Muslim. To paraphrase another guy "I hate to say it,but a lot of my friends and neighbours attitudes are stuck 200 years in the past when it comes to race."
In this day and age,how does this happen?

2. Is there a link to this information? |
|
It demonstrates how subjective these things are, when you compare your anecdote to the story of the lady at Hillary's event who stood up and lambasted the media for painting all South Carolinans with the same racist brush.

4. I am from Northern Califronia, but if you go to the San Joaquin Valley |
|
you can find your share of racists also
What disgusts me though is the explotation of the media, NOT to inform, but to help polarize the country more
