You said that blacks will vote for Obama just because of his race. You're wrong.
You said you hate black people because they're lazy, but then said no two Republicans are alike.
Honestly, how is this kind of talk any different than what we hear from Pat Robertson or other hate-mongerers?
You know why I want Barack Obama to win? Because attitudes like yours are so old-fashioned and out of touch with reality - and so patently offensive to common sense or decency - that the old way of thinking about race and politics needs to be completely destroyed. This election represents a popular expulsion of decadent attitudes like yours, and - you're right - it is inspiring that a black man with a middle name like Hussein can get elected in a country where there are people as hateful as you.
Maybe we are changing the world after all. |
I feel compelled to backtrack and let everybody know just how much I adore this post. It was pretty much all over at this point.
