First off, what is real racism?
I consider 'real racism' to be a lack of equal rights for people based on their ethnicity. I don't consider that to be an issue in America anymore. There is, however, still a great deal of racial stereo typing of all races, as well as prejudice in more isolated cases. But pure racism is gone.

In closing, the thought that racism no longer exist based on presidential exit poles is absurd. I'm a registered member of the RNC, I voted for McCain. I'm black. Does this mean I'm a racist because I didn't vote for Obama
Not at all. The fact that Obama WAS elected is not really the point, rather that the American people were WILLING to elect him, and did so by a much larger voting turn-out than has been seen in quite a while.
