Comedy Central has posted a humorous look at the results of the West Virginia primary. Hosted by masterful funny man Jon Stewart, it takes a look at potentially some of the reasons Barack Obama lost West Virgina by such a large margin. The video is without a doubt extremely funny. But the sad part of this tale is that while humorous, it displays a couple of West Virginians who seem to be extremely biased in their thinking. While Obama’s campaign has tried to put itself above the racial issue, many people still cling to thinking reminiscent of the pre-civil rights era – basically if you look act or sound different from “me”, you must be trouble. I am still shocked when I see people like this. I’m even more shocked that they feel no shame in speaking this hatred in front of a television camera.

Here’s the video:

When are we going to mature as a people and accept everyone for who they are, not what they look like??
