The Exposed Bigotry of Generation ‘Y’ Manifests Itself - Higher Education: We are a little over a week past election day 2012. A largely fractured and polarized electorate re-elected the nation’s first Black president to a second term. This fact in and of itself was a momentous source of pride and satisfaction for the president’s supporters and a major source of frustration and resentment for his detractors. Left-wing bloggers have been working overtime, typing praises of joy and relief that their candidate was able to weather off a fierce challenge (at least during the last month of the campaign) from a Republican candidate who appeared to be an “everyman” of sorts, depending on the environment he was in and the audience he was addressing. On the contrary, right-wing blogs have been in overdrive with venomous rhetoric and intra-party finger pointing, as well as paranoia as to the legitimacy of the outcome of the election.
