It's hard to say whether or not America won't accept a black president: There ARE black people elected in office. Polls in New Hampshire showed that the majority of blacks supported Hilary over Obama. Obama has certainly gained support among whites in some states. Obama DID beat Hilary... Etc.
From that, it looks like people are looking past race. To me anyway.
If there is any kind of prejudice in people's votes, I'd say it's more against a person's party. Conservatives seem to really, REALLY hate liberals/democrats and vice versa.
No doubt there are racists votes in the South at least. But I'm pretty skeptical that Hilary supporters are doing this because of race.
I really think they're just being babies. But I wouldn't be surprised if race really was the issue. After all, they're putting their precious abortions on the line by flocking to McCain, plus most women who chose Hilary only did it cause' she's a woman. That's another form of prejudice already.
