So, I decided there were some 'sincere traits' of bigots when it came to an election within the USA that could be tainted by racism.
The OBVIOUS one is that they 'reason' about the Black Candidate rather than the issues.
Statements like, "I just don't like the man," "He is just a loud mouth," "I can't respect him."
Judgements rather than reasons. If anyone, regardless of their status in this election, makes judgements about him or any aspect of his life, then that is bigotry in its truest form.
This election. Any election is about the issues and what separates the standing of each candidate on any issue. The 'diverse' opinion of each of the Presidential candidates is enormous, so choices should not be that difficult at all. There are clear dividing lines.
I think that is an excellant way of measuring a voters ability to express their preference in voting. If they haven't got a good reason for their vote and they are simply judgemental of the candidate, then it is bigotry. Has to be. Skin color has no basis in dictating a President's performance and therefore is completely irrelevant to any decision making.
