Strictly anecdotal. I work part-time at a local Wal-Mart. In the past couple of weeks, I've noticed an increase in touchiness, if you will, in our AA customers. One woman went off simply because one of the white associates tapped her on the shoulder thinking she was someone he knew (she claimed he punched her). The associate ended up losing his job. This, and general surliness in other situations where none should exist has me thinking either a) this is being done on purpose, or b) that AA supporters of Obama are getting upset over the (deserved) criticism he is receiving for the BP mess and are acting out as a result.

I don’t think it’s because of criticism of Zero. They know he’s a fraud, too. They will still vote for him out of racial solidarity (those who bother to show up for him, and those numbers will be way down next time), but they know.
