In Nashville, We Are Not All Ignorant Racists

I was so dismayed when I watched CNN last night. One of their reporters had come to Nashville and they were interviewing people at the Sounds stadium about whether they would vote for Obama. One woman said no, because he is a Muslim (he isn't) and another dufus said the only blacks he knew who were for change had a cup in their hand. How appalling. It made Nashville look so bad. For everyone out there, these two nitwits are the minority! There are many, many progressives in this city, and I have no doubt Nashville will vote for Obama in the fall. I wish they had gone to Symphony Hall, or Hillsboro Village, or just about anywhere else to interview people. They would have gotten a lot of thoughtful, educated responses. They may have just wanted to point out that there are still people out there with these racist views. But to pin it on Nashville was just unfair. There are people like that all over the country. Let's just hope they don't prevail at the polls.
