And on November 5?

As part of an ongoing series two NPR reporters talked about the election with voters in York, PA. The topic this time around was how will the country be different if led by a black man? First, the positive effect -- black kids would have the ultimate role model. Beyond that the comments from both sides of the racial divide were packed with fear. The whites were afraid that if Obama won blacks would consider this an opportunity for payback of their white oppressors and things could get violent. Blacks were afraid that an Obama win would be intolerable to the most hard-core racists, the ones being stirred up by McCain and Palin, and things could get violent -- at least for Obama. Finally, there is the fear that blacks will turn violent if Obama loses, especially if there is evidence the election was stolen. Hope for a good result on Nov. 4, but be concerned about Nov. 5.
