Contrary to the 2008 criticism of white prejudice which said that some whites weren’t voting for Obama because he’s black, social media shows that the reverse is quite true in that blacks’ biggest reason for casting their vote for Obama is because he’s black....Another case in point was highlighted this past week when actress Stacey Dash, a half-black and half-Mexican, openly supported Mitt Romney. She was “tweet-attacked” and more for supporting the non-black candidate, allegedly by an onslaught of African-American tweeters....Racism tends to be alive and not-so-well in America during the 2012 election process, but it’s not totally the way most people have been taught to believe it is. It’s black-on-black racism.It makes one wonder how many closeted-Mitt Romney voters are really out there when you see what they are subjected to when they make their true preference public, doesn’t it? And it is wrong that anyone in this country should have to hide who they believe should lead the country for the next four years simply because of their race.It is also incredibly wrong that so many high-profile figures in the entertainment industry which Obama embraces for endorsements and fundraising is so blatantly racist in their openly-racist choosing of a political candidate. Rapper Snoop Dogg turned Snoop Lion and actor Samuel L. Jackson are the first two “racist-sounding” African-Americans to come to mind as they have admitted that the main reason they are supporting Obama is because he’s black. Don’t they realize that’s an insult to President Obama? After Obama spent four years in the White House, the alleged-defining reason they support him for a second term is only because he’s black? Really?
Of course they do. We knew that already.
