I think this election has raised the nasty racial issues of the past to some degree. I can't say with any certainty how much it is or whether it's widespread or isolated. I just know that here in the south, I've heard the N word used more in the last week than I have in my entire lifetime. People who I didn't think still had that word in their vocabulary have used it discussing Obama being elected.
I've heard it in restaraunts, businesses, and even in a small group of "church" (not my church thank God) people that I was in. I told one man that the N word sickened me and that it had no place in today's society, IMO, and he shut it up after that. I was in Dallas yesterday on a quick business trip, and was surprised at how derogatory people were talking about Obama in the restaraunt yesterday. A lot of it comes from older white people which I guess shouldn't surprise me.
I understand that people have ideological and philosophical differences with him on policy and moral issues. That's a part of the system that makes this country great. What upsets me is when people take it beyond that into blatant racism that has no place in this country and especially among Christians.
i am shocked and hurt that you were in Dallas yesterday and didnt even let me know! Shame on you!
