Campaigns are using a tried-and-true scare tactic to win
The Clinton and McCain campaigns have re-discovered something that can be used to scare the hell out of most white Americans, with the added bonus that it works against their opponent, Barrack Obama. That weapon is, of course, the angry black man. This time it is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright but it has in the past ranged from Huey Newton & the Black Panthers all the way back to Nat Turner, who led the infamous slave insurrection of 1831.
The one thing they all have in common is that they are black and angry at us white folks. What makes them even scarier is that we know they are very legitimately angry because we have, and still are, pretty much screwing them over. Yes, I know that things are far better today than at any time in the past; after all it has been years since we actually lynched a black man - now we just prefer symbolic nooses (see Jena 6) rather than actual ones, but let’s be honest folks, they still get the short end of the stick far more often than us white folks. After all, when was the last time you drove through a white ghetto?
So if things work out as planned the election in November will be between two white candidates and we can all pat ourselves on the back because one will be a woman, ignoring the fact that Hillary is trying her best to downplay that fact. When was the last time she appeared on the stump in a dress? And we will get to elect a President who is just another creature of the inside-the-Beltway machine that keeps turning out cookie-cutter politicians. God knows we don’t want anybody truly different, someone who might try and motivate us to make REAL change since we are all more-or-less comfortable in our little white world. After all, change is scary. Remember the ‘60s? I do! Exciting, terrifying, exhilarating, infuriating, but at least we made a difference, for awhile.

Well tell us John, how do we make it all better?
Wont electing Obamessiah put the race bating poverty pimps who say whitey is holding the black man down out of business? Or will Obamessiah’s whiteness get him elected?
A new poll says that 32% of Billary supporters wont vote for Obamessiah if he gets the nomination, are they all suffering from racism? I didnt think democrats could be racisits.
