I just spoke to my cousin who lives near Dayton, ohio. She's a very active volunteer in the local Obama campaign. She told me her high school age son, who supports Obama too, took his Obama buttons off of his backpack. My cousin asked him why, assuring him that he had the right to his own opinion and that if he didn't want them anymore, that was fine. It turns out he keeps being called "N****R lover!" and other vile names at his high school, including by guys who used to be his friends.

My cousin told him if he gave in, they win, and he put his button back on his backpack.

I am shaking I am so pissed off. Little racist bastards. Good for my cousin's son, and for my cousin, in sticking to their guns!
