Sorry Obama, Whites are still afraid of Blacks
I’m pretty sure there was a duh kind of moment when the good people over at newsnet5.com wrote this article: Racial Views Steer Some White Dems From Obama. I have to say I’m pretty sad about it and I know a lot of people like to think that we aren’t some backwards country where people are still racist. Wait a minute. I don’t know if a lot of people think that way but I know I do. I know it’s just wishful thinking on my part but honestly, people are really going to vote for McCain not because they they believe in his point of view or like his attitude or think he’s cooler than Barack. No, they will vote for him because he isn’t black.
How sad is that? In an age where we like to think of Americans as progressive thinkers who have learned a hard lesson after four additionally painful years (at least most Americans according to the latest poll I heard which put Bush at a 29% approval rating) people are making a very very very important decision based on the fact that McCain would be better because he is white and old. Or maybe it’s just because he’s white.
I know from my previous posts it might become a little obvious about who I am planning on voting for, please put that aside. I don’t care if you want to vote for McCain as long as it’s because he is standing for the issues you think are important to you. If you are just afraid of black people or feel that [insert problem here] is all the fault of the [insert race/racist comment here] and that is why you are voting for McCain then you are an idiot and should be sterilized and not allowed to breed.
Anyway, I did like this line from the article: There are a lot fewer bigots than there were 50 years ago, but that doesn’t mean there’s only a few bigots. I dig that line.
And don’t even get me started on how OLD McCain is. And how Sarah Palin is NOT prepared to be president of the country. If she were to become president (she has told news casters that she isn’t sure what a VP does, god help us all if she has to be president) I believe that she is not prepared to do a good job and ruin it for years to come for the rest of us hard working women. Seriously, if she becomes president and screws the pooch you can bet your bottom dollar that no one will elect a woman to office for years to come. The idea will be this: “Obviously women can’t be president, don’t you remember Sarah Palin?”
Anyway, this article is about racism, not Sarah Palin. My aunt was driving in her neighborhood the other day and found a hand made wooden sign in the frond yard of some house. I don’t have the picture yet but when I do get it I’ll post it on here, I promise. Painted in big letters it said “Vote Right, Vote White“. This was in a more affluent part of the Youngstown Ohio area, Cortland Ohio.
And I pretty much am speechless to that. What can you even say to someone who puts that in their yard, displayed proudly like their kid is the star quarterback or Lordy Lordy Aunt May’s 40 signs? The answer to that is nothing.

This is the third time I tried to post this comment. I kept getting errors because I did not fill out every single field. No wonder no posts comments.

That’s not really a comment on my article, Dave. You dork.

I’m not surprised that that sign belongs to someone who lives in Youngstown, no matter how affluent the area is. Also, it’s scary to think what those parents are teaching their children and the long term effects of that.
