10. So many dynamics in play

and while color means diddly squat to me on a personal level, I am certain that a contingent of the up-line politicos, those that can promote (or demote) a candidate had to have taken color into consideration. I honestly think there was a platform, a personality, a buzz about Obama that tipped the scales. But back to the vocal minority....never in a million years did I ever think that they would be so vocal, so obvious...lacking any shame in their bigotry. I had no idea people would not have any filter when it comes to this type of blatant racism. They don't even try to hide it. I really had no idea it could be this bad. And it's a minority of people that are making it seem this bad.
