SOCIAL: A GREAT article on Race & Transformation in Levittown PA

[Amandeep Jawa]

I've been fascinated about how people voted past their racism & this  
article is in some regards about that.  Fascinating & heartening.

“For a long time, I couldn’t ignore the fact that he was black, if you  
know what I mean,” Mr. Sinitski, the heating and air-conditioning  
technician, told me. “I’m not proud of that, but I was raised to think  
that there aren’t good black people out there. I could see that he was  
highly intelligent, and that matters to me, but my instinct was still  
to go with the white guy.”
