Racism/Barack Obama

I was searching for racism articles in "google.com" and randomly found this article about Barack Obama. This article was posted by a guy named Mark Potok and is titled "Racist attacks on Obama Growing More Heated." Mark Potok said, "With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the Internet." He has given examples of the posts that racist people have posted online: “OBAMA WILL DIE, KKK FOREVER." Such posts are very offending and unfortunately many people have participated in posting racist comments online.

Once again, the internet has proven that racism is a huge deal and that many people are agreeing with the idea of racism and white supermacy. Racists are refusing to elect an African-American president to represent United States, and are threatening Obama with comments on internet. This may seem childish and dismissive to several, but it is a big issue. Internet is all around the world, and these comments might affect the audience to also refuse to elect Obama.
