I remember back when I was a teenager listening to radio station WFOM-AM on election eve night. The same as today, politicians were throwing mud up until the last minute.
Back then they had some live commercials.
One politician who that night Monday night I was listening was talking about he knew for a fact that many cars of owned by business cronies of his opponent were over in the “colored section” or “Nigra section” of town handing out pint bottles of liquor to them people for their vote.
I wonder how he knew that for a fact if he was sitting in a radio station studio?
Things haven’t changed that much. The racist card is politically incorrect these days, but throwing slanderous mud is still the favorite sport.

Sadly, some people, like Allen, still rely on racism. They just are more subtle these days.
Suzanne,
yes, they are more subtle but the racists scan read between the lines.
