While I do agree with you as far as racism goes, I'm finding that here, many blacks are hesitant to vote for Obama, stating "lack of experience" as their issue in discussions. I've also heard, from quite a few black co-workers, that "this country isn't ready" for a black President. They feel that Hilary's got their back and seem comfortable with her.
