From what I gather, Obama got a surprising level of support from racist white people.

EDIT: I mean white people who are racist towards black people.

A remarkably high amount, at least in 2008. He would not have come anywhere close to winning Missouri otherwise.

I've told this story before, but - I once read about the experience of a campaigner or pollster or something in rural PA in 2008. He knocked on a door and asked the couple who answered who they were voting for, and the man said "we're voting for the n*."

So, yes, a lot. Obama was "one of the good ones," apparently.

I read about this happening (I believe on Quora) but in Indiana.

Maybe there are a lot of americans who are racist towards arabs, etc, but not racist towards blacks?

No, I meant racist towards black people.
