How racist can whites be if they were the ones that put Obama in office? Without the white vote Obama would have got smoke he could have pulled 100% of the black vote (he got 95%) that in and of itself is racist when you look and the overall break down as 53/45. He would have lost by 112,570,765 votes. So there were 112,570,765 people of other races that voted for Obama. The racism in this country while not eliminated is minimal and isn't much of what exists will never change. There is also more racism by blacks against whites and against other blacks than there is whites of blacks - IMHO.
