Al Jazeera English recently traveled to Ohio to ask voters to share thoughts on Sen. Barack Obama. What they found were wildly inaccurate and often racist beliefs about the Illinois Democrat:
“I’m afraid if he wins, the black will take over.”
“He’s not a Christian. This is a Christian nation!”
“He must support terrorists.”
“I’m concerned Obama and his wife could be anti-white.”
“I don’t like the fact that he thinks white people are trash because we’re not.”
