Many White Democrats Prejudice Against Blacks
Palm Beach Post ^ | 9/22/08 | Rhonda Swan

Posted on 09/22/2008 9:16:49 AM PDT by pissant

For those who say race is no longer an issue in America and say this blog shouldn’t exist, I give you an Associated Press-Yahoo study that says white Democratic racism may cause 2.5 percent of voters to not vote for Barack Obama because of his RACE.

A story on politico.com says that percentage is roughly the margin of President Bush’s victory over John F. Kerry in 2004.

The study found that one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views of black people, calling them “lazy,” “violent” and responsible for their own troubles.

This is the party of most black registered voters!

“There are a lot fewer bigots than there were 50 years ago, but that doesn’t mean there’s only a few bigots,” Stanford political scientist Paul Sniderman, who helped analyze the survey, told the Associated Press.

The study found that race is not the biggest factor driving Democrats and independents away from Obama. Many have doubts about his competency.

But statistical models derived from the poll suggest that Obama’s support would be as much as 6 percentage points higher if there were no white racial prejudice.

America has come a long way, but still has a very long way to go.

And until we talk about race - honestly and without political correctness, we won’t get there.

I hate the race card crap, but I wonder, what will race relations be if 95% of the black community play a significant role in putting Obama into the White House?

My apologies. The author of this article is a 'she'.

However the use of the word 'prejudice' instead of 'prejudiced' in the title is odd so I checked on the author's bio. At least she acknowledges that race is not the biggest factor keeping whites from voting for 0bama, which is better than many of the Democrat idiots. But she shouldn't be surprised at the amount of both anti-black and anti-white bigotry in her own party of racism which is responsible for 95% of racial discrimination in the USA.

Exactly, how many blacks are voting for Obama because he is black, and therefore by default, are not voting for McCain because he is white? Obama will get an additional 5,000,000 votes from the black community because he is black, far more than the 2,000,000 that will not vote for him...The leftest media in yet another news shaping story, let me tell you, our media is now worst than the Pravda was during the Soviet reign.....

There’s a huge difference between racists and realists.

Agreed I’ve long said the number one problem in this country is the media and the way they report their news.It is a damn shame that they are doing what they are doing with all the freedoms they have here and this is how they pay it back.I spit on them and would not piss on them if they were on fire.

I’ve heard that is so. However, this doesnt explain why NM and NV are so close.

Maybe they really aren’t, tee hee

I’m a white Independent who’s prejudiced against Communist, criminal, terrorist, whining, stupid, vacuous, traitorous, lying half-blacks. (Am I a demographic group?)
