WASHINGTON - Danielle Ross was alone in an empty room at the Obama campaign headquarters in Kokomo, Ind., a cellphone in one hand, a voter call list in the other. She was stretched out on the carpeted floor wearing laceless sky-blue Converses, stories from the trail on her mind. It was the day before Indiana's primary, and she had just been chased by dogs while canvassing in a Kokomo suburb. But that was not the worst thing to occur since she postponed her sophomore year at Middle Tennessee State University, in part to hopscotch America stumping for Barack Obama.
Here's the worst: In Muncie, a factory town in the east-central part of Indiana, Ross and her cohorts were soliciting support for Obama at malls, on street corners and in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and they ran into "a horrible response," as Ross put it, a level of anti-black sentiment that none of them had anticipated.

I bet if you polled the student population at “empty shoe” (MTSU), you would find that the chick in the lede to this story is about the only Obama supporter in the place.
I guess they are not talking about “Reverend Wright’s” racism.
Well, it IS the only reason to not vote for Obama, right? (and before anyone can misinterpret) </sarc>
Oh, so Democrats are racists, huh??
Couldn't help but giggle.
Oh, you mean the racism of Obama’s pal the Rev Wright?
Probably the two arthritic Pomeranians owned by an elderly lady who supports Hillary.
On the other hand, this article plays right into Hillary's strategy: "This man is not electable and will lose in November".
Boo hoo. You want racism or "anti-black sentiment"? Just mention the name "Clarence Thomas" to a leftist.
Yeah...the abject racism of Obama’s mentor and his minions scares the hell out of me too...
PMS-NBC is telling whites that unless they vote for Nobama they are racists. Black racism, however, is given a pass. 95% of blacks voted for Nobama, but that’s not racist - it’s black tribal behavior (aka: “Black Community.” Come November and the privacy of the voting booth, I believe that there will be a huge backlash on Nobama from the “White Community.”
“Racism alarms Obama’s backers.”
I understand completely.
The deep and obsessive racism of many blacks “alarms” me too....
I think one of Senator Obama’s closest supporters—Oprah Winfrey—will likely come to the rescue of the Senator. I don’t think she’s too thrilled about the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s rantings, either.
I will never vote for a black person who was raised to hate America during his or her early years, then taught to hate white people by his or her minister for the last twenty years.
...but I am the one who YOU are going to get.
*snicker*
What do you expect from “typical white people”?
Why are whites who wont vote for Obama racists when 90%+ of all blacks who are voting for Obama are just displaying their pride?
