How Racism Works...

I found this on another website and just had to post. I know it was going around in an email.

  • What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
  • What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
  • What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said “I do” to?
  • What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards?
  • What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
  • What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
  • What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5?
  • What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
You are The Boss… which team would you hire?With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. - all solvable.


Educational Background: Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude


Biden: University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science. Syracuse University, College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
VS
McCain: United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899


Palin: Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester, North Idaho College - 2 semesters -general study, University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism, Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester, University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism


Now, which team are you going to hire ?


What if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter and what would we say then, in the press? We are not always fair and ask some to be above the rest of us, but we are all human and all things to consider in voting. Either way the Congress makes and passes the Bills that govern us. Maybe all need and should be required to have some Buffet economic education. …. we all voted them in or just passed and did not vote. Please Vote whether you are a Republican or Democrat or Independent.
Read about your choices and Vote.
Teach your children to VOTE
We have The First Woman on a Republican ticket! The First Black Man on the Ticket!
