because she basically said she wouldn't vote at all if Obama gets the nomination because he's black. Now she didn't say this directly, but she made a statement saying, "The blacks are going to take over the country."

Now I was shocked at that statement, because my grandmother never showed any racist tendency at all, but i guess she is of the older generation (she's 81). I really just hope this isn't the mindset of people her age and a good chunk of the Democrats, even though I'm sure it is.

unfortunately your grandma probably is the norm, i have seen a lot of examples to lead me to believe that old ppl are generally pretty racist.

which is why hillary has locked up the poor old uneducated white ppl vote (read: the racist vote)

seems like it's getting close to the time grandma's shouldnt be thinking this way.

My grandmother was racist but she'd be about 105 right now if she were still alive (god rest her soul)

sorry for the triple post, but

if your grandma thinks that a black man becoming president once means that they're taking over, tell her that black people are 12% of the population, meaning that statistically, out of the 43 presidents we've had, 5 or 6 of them should have been black by now.

You should only count the presidents we've had since black people weren't property anymore.

I asked my 82 year old nanny if she'd vote for Barack if he got the nomination. She said she wouldn't vote at all. Then I asked her if she'd vote for Hillary if she won the nomination. She said that she didn't like either of them, but there's always the republicans.

She's a great lady, sitting there making me a quilt. But she doesn't drive. So if I don't take her to the polls, she most likely won't go to vote.

Barack's unlikely to get a vote from someone born in the 1920s. (Not that there are a lot of them to get.)

me too boblou.

My grandmother used this one on me frequently:

6 y/o Me: Grammy, will you get me a popsicle
86 y/o Grammy : What color do I look to you, rugrat?

ugh..... she was a horribly racist woman. It all ironed itself out in the end. The nurse that cared for her in the worst parts of altz's was a black man named fred. She called him her boyfriend and sang to him.

BACK ON THE TOPIC.

I come from a REALLY ridiculously republican family (don't worry, buck stops here) and i know that my dad would rather die than vote for Barry. It kills me to see them so blind-sided.

my grandma definitely thinks mccain is "too old" and voted for huckabee in the GOP primary, but i think she's open to voting for obama. she's not exactly a paragon of racial acceptance--she is like "oh i don't approve of interracial relationships," for instance, as if anyone needs her approval to get married--but just being open to it probably sadly puts her at the more progressive end of the elderly spectrum.

but there are def some non-racist old ass white folks out there:

my grandparents are the best people in the world, but they're pretty racist.
and republican. we don't agree very often.

my grandma just recently said that obama was muslim first and is now pretending to christian, and that the schools he went to were all for "training". training for terrorism, i assume she meant.

and also right now, my cousin is dating a black man, and my grandparents disapprove. my grandfather tried to put it really nicely by saying, "well, they eat differn't food then us!!"
nice one, pappap.

i dunno, my grandma loves everyone equally. i guess i was lucky. my grandpa was a bitter guy tho, i dont think he liked black people but it was more of a general attitude then just calling them the n word. he was an opera singer, so he had a general uppity attitude towards some black music too i guess.

i dont even know what i'm saying. i guess srry u guys grew up with racist grandparents, but i'm glad it didn't effect most of you personally.

my grandma voted for hillary in the primary. that knocked me back a few. she likes hillary, mainly because she feels that she's a good advocate for women.

she has a "I stand with the president george w. bush" sticker on her Jeep. Grandpa put it there.

she prolly wouldn't vote for barack. I was so excited that she voted democratic that I didn't want to ruin it by asking her about it.

i saw a new gallup poll that puts george bush's approval rating among republicans at 60%, the lowest of his presidency. my thought, though, was "that high?!?" i mean, god. if republicans don't realize at this point that george bush's version of republicanism is ruinous not just to democrats, or to the country, but to the republican brand, then they are losing it.

of course, the percentage of americans identifying with the GOP is at a low in my lifetime, too, so you have to figure that, among those that still identify as republicans, really far out there folks that would approve of bush's performance make up a disproportionate number.

Don't see what's wrong with basing your opinion of someone on their merits. Makes infinitely more sense than on their colour, nationality, etc.

Or just in general, if your demeanor is much to go off of.

I'd be sure I've posted about hating (or not liking) things or people way less than the average here, it's only because my opinions are usually different that it's noticed.

You're just an angry man, Gobby. It's cos of the frustrations caused by the hustle and/or bustle of the Perthian way of life. It's go go go.

I'm not angry at all, I just get frustrated by herd mentality or when people celebrate mediocrity.

My grandma originally said that she didn't like Obama and that she didn't believe Hillary would be good because she was a woman. She changed her opinion eventually, expecting to vote for her, then changed her mind again at the last minute and decided Obama was her favorite after all. Her reasoning: Hillary is a bitch.
