In reply to the discussion: I personally do not know a single "left" thinking person [View all]nevergiveup
(4,760 posts)17. I know a couple of "left thinking" people
who also have racist tendencies and they totally despise Obama and have so from the beginning. They are older FDR type liberals and if you sat down and had a political conversation with them you be convinced they are far left in their political thinking until the conversation comes to race and then you are blown away. I am not convinced that people like this are all that rare but maybe I am wrong.
