General Chat

I added to a thread in September. I have c&p'd it.

I am floored of what the man said.

"In July I was talking to an elderly American man in Vegas.
What came out of his mouth during the brief conversation with him floored me.

He sat next to me (we were at the Paris hotel) while waiting for his wife. I don't know what led into the conversation but I asked "so who are you voting for, as we get a lot of coverage in Canada on you election and I'm kind of following it"
He turned to me and said (in a southern accent)
"Well we are voting to put a man in the WHITE House".

Before I fell of my stool I replied with "Well if it was me I would be voting for Obama"
He left after that.

I'm still in shock over that comment"

Hi Deb,

I seem to be reading a lot about that kind of racism. Question is, will it really make a difference to the way people like that would vote? My guess is they'd probably were going to vote Republican anyway. What might make a difference is if these racists types make more of an effort to vote than they normally would. The percentage of people who usually vote in the US is a lot lower than in other countries.
