I think most white voters I know would vote for a black conservative over a white liberal anyday, especially when they’re the best candidate for the job. I tjink blacks are more racist than whites nowadays or it sure seems that way to me.
2014 was an interesting election year for South Carolina's senators. Because there was a special election for Tim Scott's seat, both he and Lindsay Graham were up for election on the same ballot.
Graham won 54% of the vote for his seat. Scott won 61% in the race for his seat.
I was not born to the Stars and Stripes, and I’m not of either of those 2 groupings. In my experience, racism among whites anywhere is actually quite strange. Racism among blacks is overt. It’s not ever directed at me, but I do see it directed against whites all the time. I have been in some really, really small towns in the Midwest where I have got some stares, but it has never crossed my mind that there might be any racial hostility at all attached to those looks. It’s just a curiosity because a cafe-au-lait complexion might not be seen with any regularity.
Eevery Conservative I know would and has voted for a Black Conservative over a white Liberal. We all voted for Ken Blackwell for Ohio Governor. We also often vote for more Conservative Black candidates in local elections over white Liberals. Both are Democrats but often the Black candidate is more Conservative.
At this point, the number is well north of 90%; it’s difficult now even to define ‘black’ or ‘non-white’. Heather Locklear and Sarah Palin’s children are all ‘non-white’ using the standard definitions. Locklear being partially Lumbee and Palin’s kids partially Eskimo through her husband.
