Obama supporters, practically every single one of them.

Yep. Since at least 92% of black voters (some sources have it as much as 96%) went for Obama, I think it's a safe assumption that the stampeding crowd was full of his supporters.

This is tragic and sad. But it’s not about race, it’s about culture. The problem is that our society can’t comment on cultural behavior, because cultural commentary is immediately misunderstood as racial commentary. This sword has cut both ways for generations.

Back in the thirties, Erskine Caldwell wrote a damning short story about a vicious lynching called “Saturday Afternoon”. He was later deemed a communist (the worst label there was) because he dared to portray a segment of southern white culture as brutal, violent, and racist. The problem was he told the truth.

Now we are on the other side of the sword. If one dares to portray a segment of modern black culture as brutal, violent, (and yes) racist, then that person is deemed a racist (the worst label there is). Even if one speaks the truth.

So now Americans are hamstrung. Bad behavior, if perpetuated by a certain group, goes unchecked. Speaking up against the behavior is considered a worse offense than the behavior itself. It doesn’t matter that the commentary is cultural rather than racial. What matters is that the commentary doesn’t fit into the currently accepted standard. But the end result is the same; the commentator is damned.

I suspect that many of the shoppers may have voted multiple times for O'Dumbo..!
