It never ceases to make me laugh when people say how much Mississippi has “changed”. Bullsh*t. Them mofos down there are still living in the 1950’s when it comes to race. Believe that.

The Associated Press reports:

“Whites largely shunned Barack Obama in Mississippi’s Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday as the Deep South showed once again its reluctance to embrace him across racial lines. While 92 percent of blacks lined up behind the Illinois senator, 70 percent of whites supported Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to an exit poll of voters conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. Only next door in Alabama and in Arkansas, where she was first lady when husband Bill Clinton was governor, has she had a wider margin among whites, while his black support has been stronger only in his home state. That made Mississippi’s voting one of the year’s most racially divided contests.”

Excuse me but… Who was expecting anything different?
