    Ain't gonna vote for no black man.

    Let's face reality. All of the silly stuff about Barack Obama is simply another way to say, "Ain't gonna vote for no black man."

Bigots, for the most part, are dishonest cowards who try to hid their bigotry behind many of the untruths floating the internet.
