WTF? Really? It's a training tool for nurses to practice. Are you all 14 again? Oh. Wait.

Buzzfeed continues to go downhill on quality.

Not once have I heard African Americans called racist for coming out in droves to vote for a black candidate. African Americans vote in every election. Previously, they made up about 10% of the electorate. This time, they made up between 11-12%. They didn't turn up in uncommon amounts. Young people did, though, with an enormous showing by the under-30 crowd. Maybe you'd like to, umm, look at the numbers before blaming McCain's failure on the blacks?

I'm getting tired of being labeled a racist just because I vote Republican. Is it to much to accept that Obama was elected on his merits and that people may have voted McCain based on merit as well? The problem is that McCain spent most of his advertising money on trashing Obama, instead of telling us about any of his merits. I know he's a war vet, I know he's pro-Iraq, it seems he's pro-war. He gets confused at things like Shi'ites and Sunnis, so it's hard to give him much foreign policy credentials. He himself said he's bad at financial policy, and would rely on his VP for that. Or, in a nutshell, if he spent the majority of his time telling us how bad the other guy was, and we obviously didn't believe that, we still don't know much about the merits of John McCain.

It is just as racist to vote for Obama because he is partially black as it is to vote against him because he is partially black. Italians have voted for Italians, Irish for Irish, Catholic for Catholic, and no one calls that racist.  Racist has an explicitly negative connotation. When folks vote against, say, Irish because they're Irish, yes, that's racist; when folks vote *for* Irish because they're Irish, that's racially based, but not racist. Lesson of the election #397: racists have a limited vocabulary.
