Racism is alive and well sadly.. If everyone who is racist would read their history books, they would see that not only blacks were slaves, whites were also.. Whenever a person was hired to look after their farms, homes, maids, butlers ect and given a place to live, they were called slaves..
Wasn't a bad word back then.. most enjoyed their jobs and a place to raise their families..

Here we have another ignorant ultra-conservative, neocon, idiot who came along and spoiled the healthy debate on the thread. Its plainly obvious who is really racist here. Maybe you should recheck your history "facts" for their accuracy, as (1) there were
never a significant number of white slaves in this country, and (2) blacks have
always voted for the Democrat whether he was black, white, purple, or orange. Obviously your misconceptions about slavery are really shocking. Blacks weren't "hired" to do anything, neither were they "given a place to live" as you call it.
Black vote in recent elections:
Walter Mondale: 90%
Michael Dukakis:90%
Bill Clinton ('92): 83%
Bill Clinton ('96): 84%
Al Gore: 90%
What's really disturbing in your post is the undertone suggestion that its mainly
black's that are the source of racism. But you are right that it's still alive and well. If anything the people most racist in this election were the numerous whites, particularly in the South and West that didn't vote for Obama
because he was black. Maybe you missed some of the extremely insulting and derogotary comments that many rural voters made about Obama, at rallies and elsewhere on camera. You can easily find some videos of them on Youtube. Also, maybe you can explain why Lt. Gov. Steele didn't even come close to winning the black vote in his run for the Senate against Cardin.
West Virginia is an excellent example of this attitude. WV is a unique state in that its the only rural, poor state that tends to vote Democrat, but didn't even come close in this election, because of what most would say "racial issues." And this was the state seceded from VA because of slavery, (although it was more for economic than moral reasons).
You must have also been asleep last fall/winter when Bush freely wasted the taxpayer's money particularly on the bailout of the incompotent automakers in Detroit.
And rethuglicans wonder why minorities (NONE of them) and females don't vote for them. If any one of those groups just glanced at your arrogant, finger-pointing post it would be impossible for them to actually consider voting conservative. Tactics such as those, and shoving unqualified minorities and females on tickets into positions of power (eg. Palin, Jindal, Steele) isn't fooling anyone and is not going to win the vote from either group. Your bigoted, right-wing extremist rants are just polluting this thread, please find somewhere else to publish your garbage. Thanks. Maybe Faux News can help you out...
