It's only racism when it affects me.
After all the crap the Clinton's pushed trying to minimize the black vote behind Obama, it's pretty funny to see her try to minimize the 22% of the primary self admitted racist vote in West Virginia.
(She also admits that her "white Americans" comment was wrong. (But only after the racially charged West Virgina primary!!!))

For some reason saying 22% sounds more shocking that 2-in-10. Hmm. This got me thinking...
OK, this is a little convoluted, but bear with me...
If we assume the 2-in-10 admitted racists is really a lowball number since it's likely some folks -- even in West Virginia -- were uncomfortable admitting their black-o-phobia (or is it white-o-philia?) to a stranger with a clip board, then the total number of just the Racists for Hillary voters may be close to the total vote for Obama.
Granted I'm doing a little squinting and a fair amount of fuzzy math to spin this, but the concentration of racists (or whatever you want to call the "I'd never vote for a colored" voters) is staggering.

In West Virginia.
Yeah, and you gotta figure that 22% is underreporting, because it takes a special kind to look that exit poller in the eye.

Actually, Hillary won by wider margins in border regions of OH than she did in WV. West Virginia just happens to geographically fall almost entirely in the Appalachian Beltway, thus making it look worse.
