RACISM IS A FACTOR

The Kevin Diaz story 10-10 in the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports a high participation of black voters in the November election and describes those who are campaigning for Barack Obama.

It looks like the general population is split half and half for the presidential candidates and that goes for the white communities across the nation. On the other side of the issue it appears as though black communities are not so equally divided as the black communities are overwhelmingly supportive of Barack Obama.
This action indicates that racisms is most certainly an issue in the presidential race and in a way that many are not equipped to accept.
Quotes from the story, “But then, from the mouth of a little girl on a tricycle up the street: "Who's going to vote for Barack Obama?" she yells, pumping her fist. "He's black!", “For Pattersen, trying to enlarge the black vote, one of the most immediate challenges is the public housing project across the street from the church in St. Paul's traditionally black Rondo neighborhood.”
