These you may never know.

Racial discrimination, exist all the time.Do you see what he did there? It’s an ecological fallacy – just because racism is one of the factors present in a group does not mean every individual in the group is a racist. It’s also a fallacy of hasty generalization.

More importantly it assumes facts not in evidence and creates a circular argument – The explanation for people not voting for Obama is racism. The proof of racism is people not voting for Obama.




Why did so many Democrats in West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky casts their ballots for ABO? I don’t know, you’ll have to ask them. So far I don’t see anyone doing that.

Are there racists in those states? I have no doubt there are. I also have no doubt that there are racists in Manhattan and San Francisco.

Slavery and racism played significant roles in our history. That does not mean they still play significant roles today.
