Was America Ready for a Black President?

Published by Starfish

Woops! Did I just say something wrong? I'm so sorry, so so sorry. I shouldn't have said it, I am so rude... and such a RACIST am I. I just can't believe myself.

Wait, let me take that back. I am NOT sorry for saying it, because I believe there has to be some balance in the universe and this question should be being asked just as much as "Is America ready for a Mormon president?"

The latter question is starting to make me feel nauseous, I'm so tired of turning away from it only to see it again, and turn away, and see it again and again and again. People need to get over it already. People need to understand that the "fears" they have about Mormons are unfounded, have no basis on reality but rumor, and are only because they love to stir up controversy.

The first question has more basis on reality, reputation, and concern. No, I am not racist, just observant. I am of the mind that you get to know someone before you judge them, the color of their skin does not matter to me. But when you ask such a blanket question like either one of these questions, you have to have a reason as to why it's being asked. Just about every reason that someone would ask the Mormon question, all the stereo-types, can be de-bunked. The black stereotypes can only be further proven with actual visual aides! (Again, NOT racist, I love all of God's children).

I'm just making a point.

I know that I will just have to get use to all of this idiocy, because when Mitt Romney wins the nomination the politics on Barack Obama's side will just be dirty and rotten and you can bet the Mormon garbage will come up again and again and again, because there is not much else bad to say about Mitt Romney (maybe two things politically) unless you talk about his "perfect" hair.

  1. Nice blog! It is interesting to think about the all the groups that claim they are the victim of prejudice - Blacks, Jews, Muslims, and Hispanics. Then don't forget the other groups that whine about equal treatment - Gays, Women, people over 50. We have to be careful to avoid discriminating against these groups. BUT, heaven forbid we ask people to let a person embrace the first amendment and practice the faith of their conscience. Oh my!
