The Reeking Rot of Racism

What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

 

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.

Let’s compare their educational background:
Barack Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Joseph Biden: University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

John McCain: United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899

Sarah 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

The fact that these kinds of comparisons go unnoticed while a growing disgusting odor is drifting across the nation indicates that we as one people united…are not.   It is time to arouse all of our senses and bring them to the table as we seek to clearly discern and diagnose the racially prejudiced infected state of the heart and soul of America.
