I remember when everything was done, “For fairness.”

I remember when everything was done, “For the children.”

I suspect that the new motivator for electoral success was to be, “To fight racism,” but the Jeffersonian ideal of the internet derailed the power behind that accusation.

It makes me happy that the information got out, and a little sad to see that such blatant manipulation still causes such consternation and feelings of guilt in good, kind, people. This article, and the feelings behind it, give me hope that we may actually be able to move into a post-racial America. To become a people that can laugh off the race-baiters, and judge with a guilt-free eye the people we see.

Mostly I’m happy that voters now have a chance to see how they are manipulated, and can finally fight back.
