We shall overcome
by Me on Jun.03, 2008, under Politics
I figured I’d better come in here and write something before you guys decided I’d killed myself after that last post.
Generally speaking, I try to leave the political commentary to my other blog. And I’m not going to get into a long song-and-dance tonight.
But I do have to say that I find it rather amazing that I was born at a time when black Americans were routinely denied the chance to even cast a vote in certain parts of this country and now we have a serious black contender running as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
Now (since the primaries showed us that there are still places in these United States where as much as a third of white voters will refuse to vote for somebody just because they’re black), as the general election gets under way, we all get to see just how racist we still are.
Should be interesting.
