A Victory for Racism

by Nina Guise-Gerrity, Baltimore Ethics Examiner
Eight out of ten voters voiced their opinions in exit polls and unashamedly admitted that they would never vote for a black man, whether he is qualified to be the Commander-in- Chief or not.
Clinton won an impressive 67%, and Obama received a slim 23% of democratic votes. The message is loud and clear. West Virginians are unwilling to put aside their long-held notions that a black man is incapable of representing their interests in Washington.
Could it be that our country is not ready to elect a liberal African-American? If that is the case, why did John Edwards throw his support behind an ‘unelectable’ candidate?
Should the Democratic Party support the candidate most likely to win against McCain in November, regardless of his or her qualifications?
