This conversation is why, for all of the high-minded talk of the election proving how we're "over race" down here, we're so totally not. Just because white people came out and voted for a black guy doesn't prove a damned thing. Especially in an election went the GOP should have suffered the spanking they received. Racism is still an issue here, and it still will be an issue as long as people make racist statements and then try and say they're not being racist when called on their shit.
