In other news, NPR assembled a focus group of voters in York, Pa.
I listened to this report tonight. After stating that she was not voting for Senator Obama because she was afraid of how black persons would react if he won and following the obligatory disclaimer that “I am not prejudiced,” one of the persons interviewed came out with such a torrent of bigotry that I nearly choked.
And I’m sure she really believes that she is not prejudiced. I’ve only met one bigot–and, frankly, he was a really likable guy–who would look you straight in the eye and say, “I’m a bigot.”
It’s sort of like the panhandler who hailed a friend of mine on the streets of D. C. one day and said, “Can I have a quarter? I’m saying up for a bottle of wine.”
My friend gave him $5.00 for being honest.
