Jordan, if you state that a group is racist, have the
integrity to stand behind it. A hypothesis is an
assuption you are trying to prove or disprove. You're
looking for a different word. Look for one that
means, "I want to attack a group's credibility without
being asked to defend my opinion."
If you want to posit that a group is racist, back
yourself up. And when challenged, do something other
than repeat yourself.

1) I suggest that many "liberals" and "conservatives"
as reflected in the poll are basing their opinions
more an race than on substance.
2) My hypothesis is that at least a substantial
percentage of "conservatives" dislike the Mayor
because she is African American rather than her
policies.
3) My hypothesis remains that a substantial portion of
people describing themselves as conservative dislike
or "despise" the Mayor because of her race. While I
posed this statement as a "hypothesis", I cannot avoid
a personal conclusions that there is a lot of racism
behind much of the consevatives' hatred of the Mayor.
