The race card is difficult to defend against. I've never felt I had the right to line my friends up against a wall so liberals could check for a politically correct balance. That would really be exploiting my friends, not the reason for having friends at all.
One of my cousins is happily married to a black man, they have a gorgeous little daughter. I'm not going to throw their Facebook page at people screaming "racist" at me, they are family, my relatives, not molotov cocktails.
I can say with near 100% certainty that they don't. I don't think it would matter to them anyway.
They may be feeling disillusioned about Obama, and somewhat disaffected from the Democrat party in general, but that doesn't mean they're angered enough to turn on talk radio and see what the other side has to say.
No, they're so well indoctrinated that they don't even need fences to keep them on the plantation. As far as I know, none of them are up to reaching outside their bubble to truly inspect and inform themselves of what our side thinks.
It's a shame, too. They're all smart people, but trying to get through to them is like punching through four inch steel plate.
