Madame Fishstickulous, the 48% that didn't vote for him, that "didn't like him", I'm sure that for a majority it was his policies, perceived inexperience, etcetera....
The way you wrote, I read that they didn't vote for him due to the fact he's black, which I'm sure you didn't mean.
[QUOTE=Like the OP, I believe there will be a spike of racism and violent acts for a period of time now that race is more in the forefront of america. We can't just ignore it anymore, say hushhush and sweep it under the rug..[/QUOTE]
Sadly, I think it's a good thing. Ignorance, fear, and hate breed in the darkness. It's only when it comes to light that it can be addressed.
