My favorite Alabama referendum

[Matty]

This is the statewide vote over an amendment that would have struck out the section of Alabama's constitution that outlawed interracial marriage. Counties in favor are in green. Counties against are in red. 40% of people voted against the amendment- in 2000.

Interesting that a few blackbelt states were against it

If 40% voted against, then a majority of Republicans surely voted against. But everyone tells there are no racists in the Republican Party!

Only whites can be racist, amirite? You know, people like me who are left leaning but independent are really turned off by the constant and trite faux outrage over "racism" in this nation. People like you throw that word around like a monkey flinging poo. It's juvenile, unsubstantiated, and has no place in American politics.

Nice strawman. It was you who claimed that this result showed the republican party was racist. I can assure you that many democrats probably voted against that referendum.
