but America elected a black President*, therefore racism is over; and what about the reverse racism?!

*with ACORN's help (of course).

I'm a little surprised by the "College Degree" vote being that strongly in favor of Ferguson's lack of indictment.  Is there a reason why less educated white moderates/conservatives are more sympathetic to Brown than those w/ degrees?

Another factor in the education data that mirrors the political data is the fall-off in support for those with advanced degrees. It is observed that the most reliable Pubs by education are those with a bachelors degree, but not a masters or higher. Those who got post-baccalaureate degrees are the only group of white registered voters by education (Pew 2012) who favor Dems (D+8), compared to those with a college degree (R+7), some college (R+12) and HS or less (R+9).

I thought that the "Some College" group is the most reliably Republican of the educational cohorts (at least, in recent years).

There is nothing wrong with being proud about the fact that you're white.

Why would anyone be "proud" of the fact that they're white? Huh

I'm white, it's a fact, no need to assign a value judgement to it-whether it's positive or negative.

(this is obviously different for racial minority groups that have experienced a history of discrimination and marginalization).
