I love that they misspelled "racist" on the building. It said "racits." Talk about ignorance.

I can see riots in the streets if Obama loses, the other side is too sensible to do that ! Don't confuse the two types of people. There is sensible and there are those who start riots in our streets.

I can see the hatred if he loses.

What old days? Do you mean the LA Riots?

I can see the hangings of black children, women, and men back in the old days and the rapes of thousands of black women who bore biracial or mulatto children. Who were those types of people? Make sure you keep your mind totally opened for all of this country's violent history.

If you can't see that hatred swings both ways, your myopia is amazing.

I know it swings both ways and for me it has swung against me for then I have ever seen it swing away from me.

I can tell you that one side is sensible and will not stoop to the low standards that the other side would.

I would like to know how the word racist is any part of this myself? Things are vandalized everyday and this is not mentioned.

Your experiences are not universal. Witness the United States from slavery up through reconstruction up until.... maybe the 70s? (and continuing up to today in some areas, but thankfully it's less prevalent.) The things that happened to people of color were truly atrocious.

Hangings. Beatings. Lynchings. That was "one side". If you call that sensible, I want no part of "sensible".

Racism swings both ways.

Looks to me like the word was written on the van. BTW, how and when is racism ever sensible?
