Slate Writer: White Guys Voting for Romney 'In Defiance of Normal Americans'

Remember when liberals scoffed at the fact that Romney could win more than 60% of the white vote? Not only has Romney successfully tackled that hurdle, and liberals are apparently mad about it. Tom Scocca of Slate Magazine wrote on November 2 about the “tribal appeal” that Mitt Romney has with whites and why “white people think” he’ll be a better president. I’ll give you a hint: It’s R _ C I S M.

After proudly declaring his support for President Obama (and how Slate will traditionally list all its staffers' votes for the Democrats), Scocca insists they are not in a liberal bubble. He channels the insufferable and dismissive tone American liberalism has successfully monopolized over the past years. He claims “White men are supporting Mitt Romney to the exclusion of logic or common sense, in defiance of normal Americans.”

Well said Bookman!

I want REAL men/women voting for the cause. Don’t care what b/s race they come from! WE are Americans first!

People have to remember that nitwits like Scocca almost certainly come out of super-liberal/leftist university bubbles where they are inculcated with this the "white privilege" crapola and all the arrant leftist nonsense that permeates the university world. These dopes would have you believe that everything comes down to race and conservatives would eagerly vote for the most leftist president ever if he were totally white. And that the same white people who voted for Obama in 2008 because he was black will now vote for Romney because Obama is black.

Don't try to delve too deeply into these morons's thought processes. You'll get infected yourself. The sure sign of mentally deficient scoundrel is his cries of racism at every opportunity.

I voted for a black man this election. It wasn’t at the Presidential level. Does that make me non-racist or does the fact he is a Republican nullify that.

[GlockThe Vote]

These leftists want to wage war on people like me I say bring it.

Obviously, he's trying to be clever and provocative -- trolling, in fact -- doing a tired hipster routine.

There's not much point in taking him seriously and getting angry about his nonsense.

I’m impressed at just how little hostility towards African Americans Obama has generated in the white community. In the last half century we had achieved the conditions were real racial healing could have began in the country. We were on the cusp of good things before BHO.

Don’t fool yourself. Whites have watched what blacks did with power.

Just because you don’t hear from the National association of white people :), does not mean white people have not watched the racist display of Holder’s people.

Usually, they don’t look to get even, lucky for Blacks. But they will not fall the the bs race line again for a long time. Liberals are raving, violent racists who hate white normal people and advocate violence against them.
