I agree with your sentiment - but on the flip side - over 90% of blacks are voting for Obama. So... what does that tell ya about the way blacks think about race..?
If you want to go by percentages - white people from WVA are more progessive than blacks in choosing their candidates. Then again - I don't blame blacks for rallying around a guy who might break the ultimate glass ceiling.
For the record - I'm a white guy voting for Obama - but that being said - I'm not naive about the way society works..
