Whites are inherently racist according to many on this board so why did the four whitest states support Obama?

It's also interesting to note, Romney won the majority of White votes in liberal enclaves like California and New Jersey

Because whites are a monolith.

Some nonsense about how "many" think that whites are inherently racist. He seems uninterested in the folks that insist that "black are the real racists", of course.

Could you point this white person to the posts that claim that white people, all across America, are inherently racist?

More conservative hyperbole.

Some white people are racist and some are not.

It's inherently ridiculous to categorize an entire group one way or another either positively or negatively.

Ok so White people voted for President Obama.

Now would you like a cookie?

Another interesting question about this factoid. Does exposure to minorities reduce the likelihood Whites vote for the Democrat party, ie the multicultural party?

For example in states with the highest proportion of Black residents such as Alabama and Mississippi nearly 90% of Whites voted for Romney. Even in liberal Maryland 55% of Whites voted for Romney.

No I'm just questioning this notion that Obama rode this wave of demographics to the White House. Seems he was able to capture the Whitest states in the union.

You will notice that the states that where former solve holding states had high levels of support for Mitt Romney.

Now what's your point?
