Hello everyone! I was watching cable news and they say white women will decide the election for Obama. If Obama can’t get the white women vote he can’t win. I also read this on yahoo news too. So the question is, are white women more racist than white men? I always think there is progress for this country, but I’m confused now. I would like to hear from white women. Is this true??? Thank you and have a nice day!
Racism is a social contruct, primarily invented by European scientists and clergy in the 17th and 18th centuries. White men are its original architects, but some white women accept its premises because white privilege is a difficult thing to walk away from. I think your question is useless though, as whites aren't the only group who are capable of racism. It doesn't matter what group is more prone to racism when the problem is racism itself. And FYI, it is statistically unlikely that McCain will overcome the poll deficit that he's facing one week prior to the election.
thanks for the info Xerxes. But you never know what might happen in a week before the election. Many people say they will vote for Obama but when they get in the voting booth, they might vote for someone else other than Obama. Have you heard of the The Bill Bradley effect??? Thank you for your comments.
And maybe the people who say they will vote for McCain, will actually vote for Obama once in the voting booth. Ya never know. You just have to keep the faith.
Yes, exactly. Not to mention going down the whole unproductive path of seeking to understand prejudice by making generalizations.
