Dear “Concerned Citizen,”
You are absolutely right on the racism comment, but with reference to Obama, to vote for him and what he represents is probably more a reflection of people’s ignorance than their racisim. We have a lot of people in this country who have squandered their free education, can barely read or write, call everything that is gangsta, art, drink in anything the popular media is pushing, wallow in hate because they’ve been taught to blame others for the messes they’ve made of their own lives, and vote based on color and a type of rhetoric that has no foundation in actual or practical reality.
But once thinking people catch on, and I mean by that people who don’t have John Lennon’s “Imagine” on their IPods, Obama goes into the tank because people realize he has nothing positive to offer other than rob from the worker to give to the non worker; a kind of Robin in the Hood approach.
