How Racism Works in the US. Are you going to let it?
Body: How Racism Works...

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama 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 a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain 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.


You are The Boss... which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc.


Educational Background:

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.

Now, which team are you going to hire ?

4. And what if Obama

had "suspended" his campaign, did some grandstanding in Washington on an issue that his party was deemed responsible for, and showed up for the debate that he had cancelled, without achieving the purpose of why it was cancelled?

AND then Obama had the additional Audacity not to look at John McCain in the eyes, even when requested to by the moderator of the debate...and then lied on him contineously throughout the debate? and Was outdebated, outmanuvered, and outsmarted throughout the entire debate.

Meanwhile Obama's suspended campaign ran an ad before he announced the unsuspension of his campaign that said he had won the debate.

and then the Debate was called almost kind of a tie.

oh yeah....and spent $5,000+ on a make up artist.

Yep...

5. Who knew that those two young white people who were wading in Katrina

flood waters with a loaf of bread would open a new way of looking at things? Who knew?

8. I doubt it's from Naomi Wolf, but it's still true.

9. My thought, too.

I've read this (or a version of this) before in a few different places but have never seen it attributed to Wolf. Never seen it attributed to anyone, in fact. It's still good stuff.
