Amongst the general, and justified, celebrations surrounding the election of an Afro-American to the White House which signals a huge change over my lifetime in attitudes wth race - both here and the US - one statistic indicates that the issue is not over yet in certain parts of the US:
Alabama
McCain 60.4%
Obama 38.8%
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the split was pretty much on racial lines.
Update:
According to the US Census Bureau the racial breakdown in Alabama is actually: White 71.2% Black 26.3
