This poll and Fournier's spin on such is the third, and most egregious example of his conflicts of interest and partisanship which should result in in his dismissal from his position as Washington Bureau Chief. Al Giordano at the Field has done a fine job of community organizing to appeal to the APME Governing Board to sanction Fournier and ask for his removal. The request is based on Fournier's violation of AP's own Statement of Ethical Principles. Check it out: Fournier's Ethics Violations!

Sad but true. What you said made me think of this scene from Do the Right Thing

"Magic, Eddie, Prince, they're not niggers...I mean, they're not black. Wait, let me explain myself..."

Looks like white people are flocking to Barack. The new ABC News/WaPo Poll:

Barack 52 (47)
McCain 43 (49)

Check the crosstabs.

Amazing.

McCain 43 (49)

In a related challenge, concern about the candidatesâ€™ age is up â€“ 48 percent, a new call it an important factor in their vote, and it hurts McCain: Those who call it important favor Obama by 2-1, 63-32 percent, compared with a 12-point McCain advantage those who donâ€™t see his age as an issue. Far fewer â€“ 16 percent, a new low â€“ say race an important issue, and that view does not meaningfully impact vote preferences.

Very on point – it really is the bottom line. Sadly though, a successful Obama presidency would prove the beliefs of these people about many minorities to be very false. They don't want tp give that chance to prove them wrong.

Thanks. I know I missed it. I wonder if there's a transcript somewhere…

Actually Nquest, like two weeks ago, Roland Martin had a segment about it on CNN. I found it to be the most honest anyone has ever gotten about the topic on any of the three news channels. I found it to be interesting because it spoke about double standards, stereotypes, perceptions and the meaning of bigotry. I have also noticed that it was hardly discussed…anywhere.

While it was not perfect, it was the closest I have seen the media get to the question and they made sure they put the black guy to do it.

Oh please, voting for Obama is not an indicator of if this country has a race problem or not. I am sure that many whites have no problem voting for Obama but that does not mean that they are welcoming of the general black population! They will watch Oprah, they will vote for Obama but god forbid too many black folks move into the neighborhood!! White flight!

Too bad the media is too pathetic to ever raise the question of “why won't you vote for a Black person for president?”

Just like the man in the video addressed every bs rationale, that's what I want to see done on that question because I firmly believe White folks who have those beliefs need to hear themselves 'say it' and then hold that sh*t up against the state of the nation because I just want to hear them 'say it'…

I want to hear them say that their psychological addiction to White Supremacy/Privilege is to the point where “country be damned” (as opposed to McCain's phony azz “country first” slogan) “if I ain't better than a ni@@er, who am I better than?”
