When I see a headline like this at Drudge it literally sends chills up my spine:
SHOCK: 2/3 OF WHITES CITING RACE WON’T VOTE OBAMA IN GENERAL…
Not character, qualifications or simply not believing the man is capable of handling the presidency (for any number of reasons), but rather the color of one’s skin?
I have been exposed to enough people in my lifetime to know that there are good and bad in all ethnicity’s. It is not naivete which drives this post, it is sadness.
This Democratic primary season has shown us some of the worst of America. The press in particular has driven the racial and gender card to its limits, and frankly, I am absolutely sick to death of it all.
Yes, these may just be exit poll numbers associated with the West Virginia primary, but when you think of the tone these candidates and their surrogates have taken, it is just a continuation of what we have seen over the past many months.
Last I looked, women are no better than men, a person of color is no different than a Caucasian, and the Presidency should not be a tool for those who continue to attempt to divide this country racially or otherwise.

I am fed up to the gills with the racial undertones or overtones in this election. No person can help the color of his or her skin and when cut we all bleed red.
Go for the issues. You don’t need to use race as an excuse. The issues speak for themselves.

90% of blacks won’t vote for Hillary in the primary and only fish and some lizards have gills. It’s true.

You are right Guss.
That is the point of this post. Race and gender have both been driven to the point where they are the major factors in the primaries. All policy has been pushed to the rear and here we are with the press asking this sort of exit polling question.
For crying out loud, ask a question which is pertinent to the issues this country faces, not about the color of someones skin. I hope, no matter who the candidate for the Democrats we can move past all this once the general election gets under way.

I must be a fish or a lizard! Who knew? Not even my beloved brother Guss!
