I thought we were no longer racist?

Okay, this is just a quick note, but I was really upset when watching the elections and seeing all of the racist comments out there. 

Many African American's said they were voting for Obama, because he was black! I am sorry, if I said, Jee, that's the same reason I am voting for McCain, would I be the racist one? Of course I didn't say that, but many African American's did say that about Obama. 

This spurred me to look at the exit polls. According to the exit polls, 95 of African American's voted for Obama, where as white american's voted for Obama at 55%. Now, we all know there are plenty of Neo-Nazi, Skin Heads, etc. who would never vote for Obama, but as a whole, they did not skew our numbers by that much. 

However, by the African American's voting for Obama, because he is black, does that make them racists? I think so, and it makes me said to know that American has not learned its lesson. 

For me, Obama will be my President, our President, and when he is sworn in, I will stand behind our President. I hope the rest of America gives him this same level of courtesy and respect, and I really hope the wack jobs stay away!
