We're votin' for the n***er!

From a canvasser in Pennsylvania. Somehow I actually find this oddly reassuring...

So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

I guess what I find reassuring is that for many people in this country, the importance of race-bias now falls below other interests such as the economy and the welfare of this country. This was not always the case and represents a momentous step forward.
