I Think I've Just Been Offended
Democratic rock star Barack Obama answered a question about whether or not the nation is ready for a black president.
The Republican party isn't the party of the racial divide. The Republican party isn't the one who thinks that certain groups can't compete in society (school, business, life) without help. The Republican party isn't the party that has held certain groups hostage by claiming that they're going to help, but, in the end, only maintain the victim status of those groups. The Republican party isn't the one who has perpetuated the aura of racism for their own political gain.
Senator Obama, you're wrong. Most Republicans won't vote for you, but it will only be because of your politics. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin.
Where's J.C. Watts when we need him???
He acknowledges that there are people who will not vote for him because of the colour of his skin, but as he points out, the same people would probably not vote for him because of his politics.I find that incredibly offensive as one of those people who would not vote for him because of his politics. I couldn't care less about the color of his skin.
