Poll: Lingering racism may hurt Obama - Decision '08- msnbc.com

Here's the headline:
'Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks.'

Here is another detail though, mentioned in passing:
'On the other side of the racial question, the Illinois Democrat is drawing almost unanimous support from blacks, the poll shows, though that probably wouldn't be enough to counter the negative effect of some whites' views.'

The focus of this story is the attitudes within one demographic group, being described as racist- but this attitude is not described as racist when applied towards another. Why not? It seems obvious that there is a problem of uniting certain voters for Obama. There is nothing new about this story, except it is no longer an abstract idea that a black candidate is now in Obama's position. This though is a familiar mantra of a media trying to force Democratic voters to get back into line, by rather crudely implying that a sign of 'racist' should hang on anyone who doesn't vote for this candidate. It is more than interesting how no statistics are stated for other demographic groups concerning 'racist' feelings- why are they not included here? Probably because this is being tailored to the demographic group that needs to be used in this case. Enough with the racial bias, media- it exists in all racial groups, unfortunately.
