The Election: For African Americans It Is All About Race

In my earlier posting, I described the interview I saw of an African-American man who was voting for Obama.  The man being interviewed was voting for the first time because of Obama.  Of course, he isn’t racist.

Now, Colin Powell has come out to support Obama.  Powell says it has nothing to do with race.  Powell says it is about Supreme Court nominees.  Nope, it isn’t…check this link: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/15/1403219.aspx  It quotes Colin Powell saying how much he’d like to see an African-American president.

So, vote for John McCain for the reasons I am: the ecomony, security, armed forces, experience, vice-president, conservitive view.

And remember, if someone accuses you of being racist for voting for McCain, say “Yes, I am, just like Colin Powell!”

Can I be a racist, too?

A couple of months ago I watched as an older “man of color” was being interviewed.  He said this was the first election he was going to vote in.  Why?  Barack Obama.  Okay, a black man voting for the first time because a black man is nominated.  Did they call it racism?  No, they claimed it was the excitement that Obama was bringing to the process.

A white girl in Florida wears a McCain shirt to school and is accused of racism.

Does she want McCain because he is a better candidate?  Doesn’t matter.
Does she want McCain because he would be the better leader in a world where people want to destroy us?  Doesn’t matter.
Does she want McCain because he tried to stop Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, while Obama helped to block all attempts to rein them in?  Doesn’t matter.

She’s white, McCain’s white – racism.

I liked Hillary.  I think she’s closer to McCain than Obama.

Doesn’t matter.  I’m white.

Okay, I’m a racist.  What’s your next move? 

Oh, and I don’t want to spread the wealth.  Why are Obama’s minions attacking “Joe the Plumber” instead of dealing with his question.  I guess if you have a lousy message, you attack anyone who questions it.
