What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if it was Barack Obama who 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 the wife who not only became addicted to
painkillers, but acquired them illegally through a charitable
organization? What if it was Cindy McCain who 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.
We seem to be moving beyond the walls of racism, but there is always
room to open our minds and hearts.
Think about it.
