I mean, if there are a lot of white employers out there that have been shown to deny someone a wage job on the basis of their skin color, who's going to say they're going to hire them for the highest office in the country??
Sure, people will play to the polls and say the politically correct thing. But people need to understand that racism in this country still exists, it is just a lot less overt. So when people enter the privacy of the voting booth, I think the results will reflect this. Who knows though. | I've wondered about that, Kat. California will have their election on the 5th of Feb. I don't think Obama will win that for the reason you stated - that is white males being bigoted. Interesting point you brought up.
But Obama should not be considered as a "black" person, but more like a Muslim. Yet has anyone ever called him a "Uncle Tom". I dare Jesse Jackson AND Al Sharpton to call him that. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
