I was working my previous part time job and chatting with my boss, an older black guy. I have always tried to keep politics out of my professional life, so I had no idea how my boss voted.

Some customer came up to us and asked about an Obama exhibit the company had on display the year before. He was really excited about Obama and my best guess is he thought my boss would be too, because skin color.

After he had walked on I just mentioned off-hand "that guy is a big Obama fan, huh?"

Boss just deadpanned "well I'm certainly not."

Old dude let his based attitudes slip out.
