Today Vicki456 canvassed a nearby community with her neighbor, Andi Cumber, in support of the Obama campaign. Here is a synopsis of the event:
Vicki456 is, by all appearances, a Caucasian female. Andi is an African American who hails from Maryland and recently relocated to North Carolina. Tonight, Vicki and Andi canvassed a racially mixed neighborhood close to their homes (Vicki and Andi are neighbors). Both canvassers were surprised to hear that most of those they canvassed had already been contacted by Obama campaign workers three times in the past 24 hours!!! Incredibly, the Obama campaign has so many volunteers that they are already overlapping in their efforts. During the course of discovering this phenomenon, Andi knocked upon the door of an…..older, white, native North Carolinian, male, registered as an “undecided” or “Independent” voter. In North Carolina that demographic often (though not always) translates into a McCain supporter, a racist, or both. When the “older, white, native North Carolinian male” answered the door his response was this:
“I have seen three Obama supporters in less than a 24-hour period. I don’t want to see any more Goddamned Obama supporters at my door.” Then, just to prove what really underlies this election for this demographic, this person added,
“I don’t want to see any more niggers at my door.”
When Andi returned to the car and reported her experience, Vicki became furious and suggested several responses to this person’s remarks, to which Andi replied,
“If we respond the same way they do, then we are no better than they are. Racists are cowards and many McCain supporters can’t admit they are racists because then they are revealed for the cowards they are. At least this idiot admitted that he was a racist.”
Vicki asked Andi how she responded to “this idiot” and she said, “I did what Obama would do. I apologized for the inconvenience and thanked him for his time and then I moved on. Fortunately or unfortunately, we have to be better than the McCain/Palin people. That’s just the way it is, and because Obama has set the standard, we will win on election day. Their racism will be their undoing.”
And here’s the amazing thing: it looks like Andi is a prophet. Senator Obama will become President Obama November 5th. And we have the McCain/Palin racists to thank.
So to all of the McCain/Pailn racists in North Carolina: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being the lowest common denominator. Your fear is your undoing and I can only say thank you for helping the only rational people left in America to now elect Barack Obama to the Presidency.
