Nah, people react differently towards black people, and racists that are racists against black don't all hate on blacks using a monolithic formula of racism. Each individual can be racist differently in different ways.

This question is either disingenuous or naive. You know exactly what I'm talking about but you decided to post a question that adds absolutely no substance to the conversation...

If there's one thing I can always count on here, it's that there will always be some smartass remarks and fake naïve statements when it comes to race...

It was probably only a few people doing the actual throwing, and they are kids themselves. Hopefully they realizing how dumb they were and grow up to be good people.
All blatant racism is "stupid, childish and insensitive". Sometimes it crosses a line and becomes dangerous for all parties. They throw shoes in the Mideast and people die because of it.

Aren't conservatives supposed to love politically incorrectness? Why are they whining about the bananas yet shouting down anyone who thinks its wrong to call a team "Redskins"? A conservative calling anyone racist is like Rush Limbaugh calling someone a pillhead.

Racism is in both the north and the south because white supremacist ideology just refuses to go away...

Old prejudices die hard...

Unfortunately, narrow-mindedness, severe insecurity, supreme ignorance, and stupidity exists among racists in the east coast too.

Unlike the South though, we can count on New Jersey to consistently be a blue state come election time.

What does this have to do with Democrats ?

Quote:
As of March 23, 2011, there were a total of 13,358 registered voters in Summit, of which 3,842 (28.8% vs. 41.8% countywide) were registered as Democrats, 3,703 (27.7% vs. 15.3%) were registered as Republicans and 5,808 (43.5% vs. 42.9%) were registered as Unaffiliated. There were 5 voters registered to other parties.[93] Among the city's 2010 Census population, 62.3% (vs. 53.3% in Union County) were registered to vote, including 87.7% of those ages 18 and over (vs. 70.6% countywide).[93][94]
In the 2012 presidential election, Democrat Barack Obama received 4,895 votes here (49.4% vs. 66.0% countywide), ahead of Republican Mitt Romney with 4,859 votes (49.1% vs. 32.3%)
unless you can prove that the only ones in the crowd throwing Bananas were Democrats.
