"I've talked to people--a woman who was chair of county elections last year, she said she wouldn't vote for a black man," J.K. Patrick told Packer. And he won't either. "I really don't want an African-American as President ... I thought about it. I think he would put too many minorities in positions over the white race. That's my opinion. After 1964, you saw what the South did ... There's a lot of white people that just wouldn't vote for a colored person. Especially older people."Probably find similar talk in southern Indiana and Illinois, too.
With frankness like this, it was probably no accident that it was Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY) who got in trouble two weeks ago for calling Obama "that boy" at a GOP party dinner in his home district -- a comment for which he later apologized.
Let me highlight a bit: "...too many minorities in positions over the white race. After 1964, you saw what the South did..."
Poor whitey. The scary colored man is going to oppress them.
Different world that I have no need to understand. (Sorry Barack. I know we're supposed to come together, but I'm just not there yet.)
Check that off the list of states I need to visit.
