I know personally of racism. I am of Native American descent. I can remember as a child I knew my background and was proud of it. At that point in my life I was not aware yet of such stupidity and hatred. I can remember one time I got to go with my father to fill out some type of an application, probably for employment. I was very interested in anything my father done, so I was reading the questions and then his answer to myself. He came to the section that said your race, he checked white. So because I knew we were not, I spoke up and said "Daddy you marked the wrong one, you should mark Native American." Daddy looked at me quickly and said " Shhh, Mystery, daddy don't want anyone to know that." I knew then what he was saying. That was the first time my heart ached because of ignorance.

I think he was just a "tech" guy. His audience--from what I've seen in the video--is predominately caucasian. This Santorum guy is a bad as Buchanan. The same Buchanan who stated, "If [conservative political commentator Heather] Mac Donald’s statistics are accurate, 49 of every 50 muggings and murders in New York are the work of minorities. That might explain why black folks have trouble getting a cab. Every New York cabby must know the odds, should he pick up a man of color at night." Now this Santorum asshole and his fallacious statements about welfare as it regards to race. Fact: 9% of Blacks in Iowa are on food stamps and 84% are WHITE. Also, Iowa is 91% white, 2.9% African-American, and barely 5% Hispanic...so where the hell did he get this, "giving black people other people's money."  Balderdash!  The origin of money is false itself...so you can't give away nothing lol.  Just another lame politician trying to galvanize a certain demographic to get votes!

I don't understand "all white crowd", when at 51 seconds into the video you can see over Santorums shoulder a man of color. I asked someone if they saw the same thing I saw, they said "Yes, but he looks like a tech." He maybe "just" a tech,but he is still a voice and a vote!
