YES, LET'S HAVE A FRANK, OPEN AND HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT RACE IN THIS COUNTRY, SHALL WE?

Yeah, right. The media focus in on one specific moron to showcase their meme about white racism and how Hillary supporters are just a bunch of racist rednecks voting for Hillary because Obama is black.

But then they ignore the key statistic from this article:
Obama won 91 percent of the black vote in North Carolina, but Clinton took 59 percent of the white vote.


91% of the vote? That statistic approaches the kind of result you see in elections held in totalitarian states where there is only one candidate-- and you'd better vote for him, or else.

So, let's have a frank, open and honest discussion about those statistics, and what they suggest about residual racism in this country, shall we? Who's behaving in a stereotypically racist manner here, and for which block of voters is the color of one's skin the most important consideration?
