An Alledged Racist Fights the Battle

When Barack Obama first came into the picture, I figured he was worth a look. I did not know much about John McCain, either.

The first thing I heard was that Barack Obama was rated the most liberal Senator in 2007. I knew right away that there was a good chance that he and I would not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things.  So in spite of the color of his skin, I had to choose a different horse in this race.

I have found a complete irony in the actions of voters this election season. Now, I am not naive enough to think that there were not bunches of people who wouldn’t vote for Barack Obama because of the pigmentation of his skin, but I am not one of them.

Nevertheless, I found that it was the very people that WERE supporting him that continuously, repeatedly, sickeningly brought race into the discussion ad-nauseum. Too much hyperbole for you? Imagine the sorts of hyperbole that was used in these little notes:

“How Racism Works:
What if this one divorced and that one wasn’t?
What if this one was this and that one was this?”
…and so on…

And then they’re gonna divide the red states and blue states:

“To sum up briefly: You (red states) get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states…We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs…You get a bunch of single moms …they (Evangelicals) don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets coming home…Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans…

First of all, we will take the slave states…after all, Repuclicans FREED THEM! Republicans have also been champions of civil rights since the mid 1800′s.

The Democratic party gave birth to George McGovern, Robert Byrd and a whole host of other bigots that have been elected to office. Here is a list: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1329788/posts Yeah, there have been some Republicans that have said some really stupid things, but let’s not just put a label on one side of the bottle, ok?

I can’t even go on about the rest of these idiotic diatribe I received from someone. Suffice it to say that of all the stuff I saw that she was spewing, only one had any sort of substance – even if it was so weak that she would not refute my response; all the rest hinted at race and other bigoted issues.

Tolerant? PFFFTTT!
