I only get into trouble on DU when I try to get to what's real.

226. I take your point, but I also know that white people don't routinely listen to

media by black radio personalities, or latino ones, that speak to specific issues of interest to these communities. White people aren't watching Univision or Telemundo, or reading Newsone.com on the net. So there is a difference in the way people perceive the world around them, and it's affected by race and/or ethnicity and primary as well as secondary sources of information. And a lot of information is simply passed along by people bullshitting with one another.

My point to this guy is that if some black voters were so low information that they were just taking it all in, cluelessly, and responding to input without thinking much about it, you'd figure we'd see a small mass of them convinced by all those brightly colored campaign commercials to vote for the Republicans, and maybe see some of them mustered at GOP rallies, wearing their Kerry purple heart bandaids or waving their Romney signs!

The only POC I see at GOP rallies look like they're paid to be there. They're either laughing their asses off or 'shamed and ducking' trying to stay out of the photos! And they aren't voting for the GOP, either, so they're not so stupid that they buy what they see on the TV and then translate that into a vote for a Republican. In that regard, they're smarter than a lot of the white low information voters in the "It's Morning In America" crowd.
