This video examines the racism issues that still exist in Rural America among whites and blacks, but during a real important time in politics, in which an African American is running for President.

However the question lies ahead, although the economy continues to struggle under the Republican administration, will Rural whites vote for a black man as President, amid all the racial tensions from the past?

  • The US is in the process of being overrun by third-world immigrants. Time to cut your losses and get out! Suggested direction is north of California to the Northwest States of the US. When the new country Aztlan is constituted you will understand the wisdom of getting out of Dodge while the going was good.

    Listen to the reasoning behind migration to the US Pacific Northwest.

    Put “Radio Free Northwest” in Google

    And select one of the weekly podcasts.

  • oh never mind it is... SY! good job dude

  • this sounds like a dude i know named Sy

  • I can tell that this guy doing the interviewing is black. When he asked whites if people in the county would vote for a black may be lying. People tend to mask their racial anxiety or racial honesty when talking to members of the opposite race or gender. This is what happened when exit pollsters asked white voters who they voted for in the 1989 governor's race in Virginia. The exit polls showed the black candidate ahead 55% to 45%, but the candidate actually won 50% to 49%.

  • I think, for once, someone has made an accurate portrayal of rural America. We can see that racism is not divided along racial lines, that the stereotype of the racist white farmer is played out, that not all rural people are conservative; some of them are in fact very liberal, and that we are by and large fairly well-informed people with practical and pressing concerns.

    Thank you for cutting through the crap.
