Even most racist people I know are voting for Obama

This includes someone in NC whose grandfather was IN THE KLAN until his minister told him he couldn't be a Deacon until he quit. I swear to God this isn't a bouncy story. I was floored when I heard that.

This friend's parents -- also in NC -- are hugely racist (ie use the "n-word" in casual conversation), and they are voting for Obama.

My aunt-in-law is also voting for him. She wasn't, until Palin joined the GOP ticket. She's a HUGE animal lover, and the wolf thing did it for her. She's also racist.

Now, my stepfather-in-law ISN'T racist or homophobic, but he's voting for McPalin. Go figure.

1. I have the same exerience. I have many relatives from the south who hate the Republicans more than

they do black folk. Very pro union. For them, it's bread and butter.

9. The friend's father I referenced above hates Palin

He thinks she's woefully inexperienced, dangerous, and UNAMERICAN. He would have voted for McCain and, say, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, but not McPalin.

2. An "admitted" racist acquaintance is voting for Obama.

3. The biggest bigot I know is voting for Obama

He told me today that Obamas commercial talked about all the things that mattered to him.
The Bradley thingie isn't going to matter this time.

5. I've been telling people for months that there are racists who will

vote for Obama, and they look at me like I'm nuts. People are hurting.

6. Hopefully after watching President Obama for eight years ...

... their racist views will disappear.

Catholics seem to have had though times until Kennedy became President.

7. My Dad and Step-Dad are both voting for Obama

and I would consider them to have racist tendencies. My best friend's Dad is also voting for Obama despite the fact that he is a racist. They are all impressed with Obama after really listening to his message. I have been talking to them for months now and sending emails like crazy!! They all really say nice things about him now and I am thankful.

8. Even hard-core racists will admit there are "good ones"

Sad but true.

I have no doubt there are otherwise confirmed racists who would say That One is one of the "good ones".
