Getting Out the Vote

President Obama encouraged black voters to get to the polls this year, to prevent a "return to the past." A code word for racism and segregation?

Should his appeal to black voters to vote Democratic be matched by a call for Republican to turn out white voters? (Have the latter done so already?)

Racism cuts both ways; and whatever the source, left or right, Presidential or Tea Party-ish, is abhorrent, disgusting and undignified.

What a horrible, cheap time we are living through.
