"I wouldn't vote for a black man. I would rather vote for McCain then vote for a black. You don't know anything about black people until you have been raped and had your windows broken by some."
THIS WAS AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION I HAD AT THE GYM TODAY.
I am STILL floored.
I go to a little gym in Holiday Island, Arkansas. It is mostly for older folks, but they let a few of us spring chicken in for a higher price. I go because I don't have body image issues around old people and I get a good work out. Mostly the people are really nice.
This all came up because I heard this older gentleman say that he was a Hillary fan. I said wow, that's great. He asked who I was for and I said Obama and that is when his racist verbal assault attacked me. It went on and on. He is a democrat who is a racist. ONLY IN THE SOUTH!
So, when he took a breath. I said, "There is no room in my Democratic Party for a racist. I am disappointed in you and at your age you should know better."
Imagine me, a 38 year old Californian lecturing an 87 year old man in the gym on how to be a Democrat. The world never ceases to amaze and disappoint me.
