Set-Up For Racism Claim in Presidential Election

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As the presidential election nears, the democrats are trying to distract voters from ideology. They want their base to think that folks voting for Romney are not doing so because of his policies, but because he is white. This, they hope, will encourage every minority in the country to run to the polls to stop that racist white guy running for President.

Headlines are now quoting a recent Rasmussen poll that states: Romney has a 20-point advantage among white voters.


The next sentence seems to some to be inconsequential: Obama is supported by 91% of black voters and 57% of other minority voters.


Understand this. Blacks are largely voting for Obama because he has African blood running through his veins thanks to his father. They will tell you this straight out. Most whites are voting for Romney because they do not approve of Obama's handling of the economy, and because they disagree with his ideology. Therefore, the whites must be racist.


That makes no sense.


It is a set-up. The democrats are trying to convince people it is all about race when it isn't. When I say as a conservative that my vote it going to Romney because Obama is a radical socialist and I do not approve of his policies, I have been told I am lying. I am white, therefore, it must be because I am racist. I am told that people like me can't stand the fact that a man with darker pigmentation in his skin is in the Oval Office, so I am rushing to the polls to put in the white man.


It is a set-up.


They are not trying to convince us we are racist. We know what we think. We know it is all about ideology. They are trying to convince their own that it is about race. The democrats are trying to anger their base, make their base come out in droves, and maybe even stir up a race riot... after all, democrats love crisis - and they never want to allow a good crisis to go to waste.
