Barack Obama's candidacy has put a national spotlight on race in a way that this country has not seen in a generation plus. As the finish line gets closer the question looms: what will white voters do in this election? The past week has made it clear that the McCain/ Palin camp is willing to go to any length to win these white votes - even leveling attacks with racist innuendos and euphemisms. The negatively charged attacks have egged on angry crowds and stoked racist prejudices.
AWARE-LA, a Los Angeles group of concerned white residents and activists, has a launched a public awareness campaign to combat these escalating racist attacks. This is a pivotal moment for the history of this country and for racial justice. Its important we are able to look back at this time and say that the people of this country did the right thing - expose the Right's tactic of racist appeals and reject it!
This video was created in collaboration with an allied multi-racial organization.
AWARE-LA has a blog devoted to providing an anti-racist perspective on the 08 Elections:

Those people standing in line are a disgrace to our country. I am so glad America rejected the hate and ignorant lies by republicans and racist morons. Obama now and in 2012!
