btw....

"Palin's net favorability with folks who think interracial marriage should be illegal (+55 at 74/19) is 17 points higher than it is with folks who think interracial marriage should be legal (+38 at 64/26.)

Meanwhile Romney's favorability numbers see the opposite trend. He's at +23 (53/30) with voters who think interracial marriage should be legal but 19 points worse at +4 (44/40) with those who think it should be illegal.

Tells you something about the kinds of folks who like each of those candidates.

 

You shouldn't even be surprised given the attitudes of those people still trying to keep away from the modern age of social change. I'd rather live in the mind of American McGee and his interpretation of Alice in Wonderland as opposed to being in Mississippi.

 

Although I'm a democratic I think this just political propaganda.

 

id love to hear thier reasons why

 

It would be if they brought it up next election. But unlikely since 83% of the population tolerate or approve of interracial relationships and marriages.

 

Same here! But the obvious answer will be the same: "I'm only a bigot."

 

I'm with you. However, they are a red State, as well as a swing State...so I assume at least in spirit, their overtly renewed racism will be catered to accordingly during the election feelers.

 

I honestly wouldn't call it a swing state since it's been leaning to conservative principles and Republican for a long time. I'd say in 2060 we'll see it as a swing state.

 

Isn't that what the majority population also said about putting a Black/White president in Office? As we see now with the thinly-veiled (aka racially motivated)Tea-Party, 'unlikely' isn't in their vocabulary when it comes to 'issues' in their rally speeches, and all it takes is a seed. Roe v Wade has been vigorously challenged, and the small issue of abortion funding for PP almost brought our Govt to a standstill just this week. We are dealing with creepy stubborn bastards with fingers on a dead pulse.

 

Um, yes it IS a swing State. Obama needed and won it for his presidential victory. It was a HUGE deal for him AND for it, to turn Blue that day.

 

While it's true that people were very subtle on not wanting to vote for a person of color, it's largely divided by generation. The older white males mostly were very reluctant to voting for him. I saw a YouTube video where this one guy interviewed these people in a rural area of Kentucky and what's weird is that one guy was a lifelong Democratic voter, but he could not come to vote for then Presidential candidate Obama and he refused to provide a reason. The TEA Party is a reflection of those people who prefer to act on reactionary grounds.

Really, the people who voted for him were mostly young and fresh voters who came out in droves and wanted to see him elected, regardless of background. So again, it's more of a generational gap. Sure, there are people of our generation who voted against him, but younger voters outweighed those who were anti-Obama.

 

You're mistaken Mississippi for Texas. Mississippi voted for McCain with 57% of the people.

McCain - 56.4% and Obama 42.8%

 

BM/WW marraiges is what they really want banned.

 

why would a bm/ww couple want to live in mississippi? what would be the benefits? faced with this type of racism who would want to stay?

 

Exactly.

 

oh theyd love that, specially over here, the WN who has a party over here has voiced his anti IR views over the years, there sneaky fuckers using things such as immagration etc as excuses to stealth their agenda, as is they give a fuck about it, as long as the ww are away from bm they can sleep easy at night

nothing would give them more pleasure then to have some anti IR law here

 

WW + BM = an end to White Supremacy

THAT is why they are so pissed and scared.

 

That is what it's all about in the end.

Is anyone surprised by the sewage of the U.S aka Mississippi.

History speaks for itself alone about that place. Mississippi is inbred racism to the core and the poorest state in the Union. That place must be where time forgot.

Funny thing is I bet you good ole Billy Bob doesn't even know his daughter at Mississippi and Mississippi State is shagging the black college football player.

Some places are true shitholes. They can keep burying their head in the sand, while the world moves along.

 

Mississippi is very sad place to live, indeed. Clearly, they're still living in the past. And they're very afraid that IR Marriage means an end of white supremacy. That's why they're trying to hold onto the past.

Well..I wouldn't be worried about that anymore, because in the future, we will be united more than ever.

 

One Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi i used to like chanting like that didn't know it was a fucked up place in America.
