If there were voters who actually felt that way, they were a small minority, but it seems easier for you to cast all of us in the same light. Because of this, it makes it difficult to have any sort of intelligent conversation with people of your mindset. This type of thinking, and lashing out at others in this manner, is the biggest reason for the great divide in our country. You leave no room for conversation and the sharing of ideas.
Sorry to the other posters for the digression from the topic at hand.

That is by far NOT just my take.
Just because your immediate universe doesn't have those types in it (taking you at your word), doesn't change the fact that all too many others DO feel that way.
Heck, just read the number of strong Trump supporters here who either constantly use the 'N' word or denigrate blacks/minorities generally...and you can quickly see that I'm not the one with my eyes closed.
It's fine with me that you didn't like Obama primarily because of his policies/actions...as that is the way it should be.
But please do not attempt to lecture about their not being a racist/bigot component regarding dislike of Obama...because too many others have shown that you're wrong.
