Sorry, I wrote my comments late at night.... I really tried to explain it, but whatever.
My point is that among Democrats racism is not really an issue. And I really misworded my comments on Catholics. I truly did not mean to offend anyone, but I am really offended at being labeled ignorant. Until this year, I thought America had gotten over racism, but from the exit polls it seems like there is still a lot of it on the East Coast.
When I reread my comment, I was quite shocked, so please ignore it! I really don't believe that!
Some of the exit polls looked ugly, and they disturbed me as well...
Maybe I'm naive, but I have to believe that this is less than 5% of the American people that vote overtly on skin tone. George Wallace did all right in '68, even in many Northern states, but I would like to believe the possible fantasy that America is in 2008 a post-race era. For the future of our nation, I hope so anyways....
post-race, no. But race matters today far less than it has at any point in our history. That said, it still matters a great deal.
