MATTHEW PALEVSKY, JOURNALIST, TRNN: I'm in Martinsburg here in West Virginia, one of the poorest and whitest states in the union. Senator Clinton is expected to win today's primary in a landslide, and the white, blue collar workers who make up her base have said they might be unwilling to vote for Senator Obama come general election.

-----------
PALEVSKY: And you voted for—

ASHLEY: Hillary. And if she loses the nomination I'll vote for the other guy.

PALEVSKY: You'll vote for McCain?

ASHLEY: Yes. I don't feel like—put the black man there—no prejudice or nothing but I just don't have—I just think he should not be there.

Obama Faces Racism in West Virginia -- Finally the Truth!!!

  • Finally the truth?

    I would try to make an articulate argument about how wrong this video is, but I think it is a waste of time. When you take five peoples opinions out of a million and portray it as common sentiment in that state, then your reporting is obviously void of any coherent and intelligent thought. Thanks for the smearing of a good state. We will always be proud of this state despite its false representation by senseless so-called elite media types.

    It's not about religion anymore, it's not about whites, it's about the US for real and we NEED a change. Obama is the one. Period.

    It's not about education, it's about culture. Some people, like Muslims, will not trust someone of another faith. And it was not long ago that some people would not vote for JFK because he's catholic.

  • i hate how the ...

    i hate how the white people are considered racist, but 97% of blacks are supporting Barack Obama. If 97% of whites supported a white canadiate people would think it was the most racist thing on the face of the earth.

    Same thing as a black entertainment channel. If there was a white entertainment channel it would again be SUPER RACIST...

    I think people have the idea of racism a little mixed up on who is actually the racists.....

  • I could go to any ...

    I could go to any state in this country and find racist people if I wanted to--this is the most slanted video I have ever seen. How many normal people did this guy interview before he came across these people. Guess what--there are black people who are racists too--Obama's Rev. Wright for instance--and Obama considers that idiot to be his moral guide? Oh--but that is a politically incorrect thing to say isn't it. Liberals are so hypocritical.

    hes not even black, he doesnt look black, even if he was hes at least half, he looks like a muslim, thats why people think hes a muslim. black people are the real racists, they used to support the clintons, now a guy comes out and kinda looks black but you cant really tell, and all the black people all of a sudden know who he is, F**k that, nobody knows who this F**king obama is.black people though all of a sudden know he is the right man for the job right, F**k that,he stole delegates anyway
