Wunderkraut?… I have decided that screaming racism is racist in it’s own right!… This article really shows the NAACP’s true colors! If you will pardon the pun? Instead of liberating everyone from the hatred that true racism breeds we are subjected to this type of garbage!…Sorry but it really irritates me! By the way I am American Indian…

The concept of voting for someone because of the color of their skin is racist! For the NAACP to take this opportunity to bitch (if you will pardon the expression) at a particular group of individuals for not voting for someone is really sad! They seem to me to be unbelievably out right RACIST by their actions! It irritates me that this group gets away with trying to dictate to voters! Voting is a freedom we enjoy as Americans and it is very personal! It should never be about the color of our skin!…

Well, I, haven’t followed the local elections like I should have, but I’m glad for your FIL.

Update: I just heard two folks in my cubicle area (both black) discussing the election. One of them called the remarks that Morris shouldn’t have been elected, because he was white, racist.

People are smart. And when they are increasingly well informed they make intelligent decisions. I may have to eat these words someday, but for now I remain optimistic.

I’m cautiously optimistic about this whole issue. While they still didn’t come out in droves to vote for Morris (the white guy), I’ll bet that a few of them did actually cast votes for him. Among the folks I work with there are many blacks that vote straight Dem, from what they’ve told me. There are also a few that are very vocal about having voted for W both times. I think the number that are voting Republican is growing. Actually I think they are just like white people in the south, in that they are beginning to think for themselves and not just believe everything they are told by their leaders, the media, or whoever. There was a time when the south was a Democratic stronghold. Just a few generations ago, in fact. That has definitely changed. As people begin to see that their values, and even their best interests, are not being represented they will increasingly vote for people that DO represent them. My greatest fear in that regard is that BOTH parties will slide too far from where I stand.

Anyway, we’re talking about an individual here, not a party. I think when the people of Ward 3 see that Morris is a man of integrity, that he genuinely cares about them, and is commited to improving that area and the lives of the people there, then they will come to love and respect him. By the next election I predict that he will completely bury any and all challengers in the general election and there won’t even need to be a runoff.

It sounds like the voters just did, man. Congratulations to your father-in-law. (And not for nothing, but bless you for using “whomever” properly!)
