This is true. People are afraid because they have to go to their jobs and their neighborhoods and get attacked or maligned or their kids get bullied, etc. If they stand up. When I lived in Florida, we had one black lady who came to our Tea Party meetings (this was back when tea party groups still existed) and she stood for the same conservatie values and she would say, "I feel comfortable with you people and I can go help you in your own neighborhoods, but I can't go to my own neighborhood because they are all for Obama and they would attack me and maye harm me or my kids"> This IS THE PROBLEM WE STILL FACE!
