DELAWARE WATCH
As long as the hate-mongerers continue to procreate, they may be around for a while. The kids follow the parents.
Hopefully they will eventually die out or fade into obscurity. I hope I see it in my lifetime.

What intrigues me more than the race issue is that (all other things being equal in a candidate) the American voters have said time and again in polls that they would sooner elect an openly gay candidate than an atheist.
"the American voters have said time and again in polls that they would sooner elect an openly gay candidate than an atheist"
I've read that before. I don't want to get started on my contempt for that sentiment.
Clearly, racism is hardly the last refuge for a bigot in the US.
I feel it is a toss-up. I feel that race relations are better now than 10 years ago, but it is in my mind. race is and will always be a sensitive topic, and the reason is the extremists on either side are stoking the flames. yeah you have the white hate groups but you also have jesse jackson, al sharpton, and other old-time civil rights activists. To a white male, dissing on obama in public is like saying the n-word; you don't want someone calling you a racist. the difference is that dissing on obama in public should be fine, he is running for president.
the turning point was his pastor's remarks and obama not slamming him into the ground for them. then only resigning from his church after a visiting pastor made racial remarks about hillary. this is what started race as being an issue in the campaign. this is what started a conversation.
