Overheard in Claremont, NC

I was working in a clients house this morning, and heard one of the "Good Ole Boy" "Small Town Values" contractors talking about the election. "Yeah, it's these blacks coming out of the woodwork that are gonna make it hard for McCain." ... I really don't know where to go with that. Especially when it is coming from a person who a few months ago asked me to a "Christian" Revival. I really wanted to say "Yeah, I mean what, do they think they actually have the RIGHT to vote?" What fucking century is this again? I know I was in the back woods of NC, but really.

Another example: I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago, and a contractor was talking about how much he "learned" from the right wing wacko AM radio shows (kind of like the mainstream liberal media...again I lament the lack of a specific font for sarcasm). He expressed his concern that if Obama loses, he will be pulled out of his truck by an angry black mob, so he just bought a gun. I personally am much more afraid that if Obama gets elected, HE will be KILLED by a crazy fucking white person, much more than I fear personally getting hurt by a black person if McCain wins. Are we all that stupid? Isn't it time to stop the ignorance?
