I was listening to NPR the other day and they were interviewing 2 women who were sisters-in-law. One was voting for McCain and the other for Obama. The one who is voting for McCain was asked how things would be different in this country if Obama were elected.
She began her statement with "I don't want to sound racist, but..." She then followed that with (I'm paraphrasing) Back in the day the black man had to step off the sidewalk for the white man and I'm afraid that will be other way around if Obama is elected. Also I think that if a black man is elected president we will see all the blacks rise up and become violent and start killing people.
What I find so funny is when the words "I'm not racist" precede a comment, they are almost always the most racist statements I've ever heard. I think this election has exacerbated this trend.
Anyone have any good ones that they've heard after the words, "I'm not a racist, but" have been uttered?
