Baldilocks Explains Political Decisions Based on Issues Rather than Skin Color to Foolish Obamaton Heckler

Most days, taking trolls seriously is an exercise in futility. But I love how Baldilocks took this one's racialist demand at face value. She responded with a lot more grace than I ever could if faced with an analogous question.

I'll get you started:

Uptownsteve asks:

What will you black conservatives tell your grandchildren?

It’s a question which I take to imply that, somehow, our grandchildren will presume to vilify us for voting against the man who will become the first black president of the United States. It’s a very easy question to answer, actually: we believe that political, social, moral and spiritual principles take precedence over ethnic tribalism and we followed through on that assertion. But I’m guessing that Steve needs things spelled out a bit more, so I’ll do it for him and for my great nieces and nephews and—perhaps—any grandchildren I might have through being a step-mother. Here goes.

Read the heckler's challenge and his later comments, then see what Baldi made of him. It's clear he doesn't even understand what she's saying, which is pretty sad for a supporter of the so-called "post-racial candidate."
