Reply #137: I'm not really all that shocked

[graycem]

what I AM shocked at is the level of defense it's getting. Racists are ignorant hateful individuals. There's NO excuse for it. There's a huge difference in explaining it than excusing it, and the way that Obamas AA support is being compared to racism is absolutely disgusting. I think many of the people defending it, wouldn't be doing so if the other candidate, the white candidate, were a Republican. If that person was a Republican, they would find it equally abhorrent.
