Discrimination abounds wherever there are differences between people. Someone mentioned a while back the different tribes in Rwanda (Hutus and Tutsis)- there's also discrimination based on religion, based on ethnicity, and based on financial and/or cultural "status". "Old money" has disdain for the "nuveau riche" (sp?) Not sure whether you are aware, but there is even discrimination within the black community based on the amount of pigmentation a person has...yes, darker skinned black people are discriminated against by lighter skinned black people....
You are fighting an uphill battle against human nature. There will always be discrimination. Always has, always will. You don't have to like it - I don't either, but it is there.
Now, as to this forum and the commenters, I do believe that the arguments against Obama have had little to nothing to do with his race but his policy. I was raised in Arkansas and yes, I am prejudiced against blacks. Can't help that I am prejudiced, was raised to be prejudiced, but I CAN help how I handle that prejudice, and work very hard every day to not let it influence everyday actions. Does prejudice against blacks color my opinion of Obama? To a minute extent, yes. But it is his policies, his agenda, his singular mission to transform a great country into a land of rampant mediocrity that far far exceeds any mere thoughts about the color of his skin. The man is destroying our country as we know it, and the only alternatives are worse than what we have/had.
How you can be so convinced that you voted for a better choice than John McCain absolutely escapes me. We know how bad Obama is. We don't know - and never will - that McCain would be as bad as you fear.
