the white guilt vote.

"Reverse racism" ~might~ be defined along these lines: A white voter, who has strong negative opinions about black, or mixed-race people, just ~might~ find him- or herself "targeted" by a political message, video, or ad, being offered as a straw-man issue to hide his or her racism behind... and decide that, "no, that's a fake issue; I'm not fooled; and, I resent that the side that brought it up is targeting me as a closet racist." ... And, so, vote the other way just as a moral exercise.
