This is why they won’t vote for Obama. Share it if you want to. Two months ago they did not believe he really had a chance so it was cute to be progressive. Now that he possibly can win the truth has surfaced. Most white people are so relieved that there can be a controversy so their racism can be hidden. The reality is that deep inside it has been a racial thing all along. It does not make that much difference to me because I believed this from the start and only watch to see how things play out. Most people you have talked to have never said that they have a problem with the way he wants to deal with the issues. Just him (which means him being black) and have been looking for a reason to turn to what they know (RACE). The truth is that Rev. Wright is not an issue. Think about this for a moment – Hilary spoke last week or so about dropping a nuclear bomb on the Middle East countries and not a word has been said about that. Coming from the only country that has ever dropped on and then dropped a second, she has presented us with the possibility of dropping the third. This is not news because of the same reasons the Rev. Wright said. As a country we believe it is our right to do anything we want, and then figure out how to justify it. A nuclear attack would not save Israel it would only contaminate all of the Middle Eastern countries, ALL of them. (Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel), and many more. How could anyone not see this as a major issue unless they can only focus on the petty issues like the race of a candidate? What difference does it make if Wright believes that the country is unfair? What is the affect on all the people who have taken up this argument? Does it affect taxes, healthcare, the war, $3.50 gas, the economy? I thought these are the things we needed changes on. How can the American public allow their selves to be duped again by non-issues?
