I know that everyone wants to act like Racism doesn't exist anymore, and that we all need to just get over it, but we can't move forward until we actually admit that it's still out there and that it's a problem.

How in the world, can someone say that they are a Hillary supporter, but then turn around and say that they are voting for McCain if Obama gets nominated? when Obama and Hillary have almost the same stance on a lot of issues. Are you voting for person because of the color of their skin or because you agree with where they stand on issues that are important to you? that's a question that everyone needs to ask themselves before they vote.

Thanks for posting this video. It is a shame. I saw in an article that McCain said "race will have no effect on the election." How can he think that when there are those who already said they aren't going to vote for Obama just because he's black. That incredibly niave of him to say that.
As far as those who voted Clinton in the primary, but are going to switch to vote for McCain in the GE, that is a** backwards. Voting for a republican is not a valid substitute because she didn't win the nomination. I really can't see a valid reason otherwise. You're either democrat or not.
But I do have to disagree with you on one point. Just because we realize there's a problem, that doesn't mean it'll get fixed anytime soon. The Atlantic Slave Trade ruined race relations in this country. It'll literally take hundreds of years if ever to fix.
