EXCERPTED FROM PM CARPENTER The (Newsweek)
new poll suggests white voters continue to be a challenge for Obama, with
McCain leading the Democrat in that category 48 to 36 percent. Some of Obama's
lag in white support may be explained by continual confusion over his religious
identity. Twelve percent of voters surveyed said that Obama was sworn in as a
United States senator on a Qur'an, while 26 percent believe the
Democratic candidate was raised as a Muslim and 39 percent believe he attended
an Islamic school as a child growing up in
Indonesia. None of these things is true.
We are still living in
the DARK AGES as far as ignorance amongst the American populous. I don't know
when it will change, if ever. When I got a job as a civil service employee, in
the 60's, working for The
Clerk of Quarter Sessions, I
had a DOOFUS (click)
boyfriend tell me, not to take the job because I would be outnumbered by blacks
and maybe even wind up with a black boss.
At that time, I had
a friend who was a civil service employee tell me,
"it's a good
opportunity, don't pass it up". So I took the job and found out... HOLY JUMPING
JUPITER, BATMAN, dark skin or light skin, people are all the same. Some are
ASSHOLES and some are quite rational.
I became friends with several of my black co-workers and
together we broke the old taboos of talking race between the races. One woman and I had a telephone conversation about America's
bigotry and she felt it would never change. I was younger and more idealistic
and said. 'It will take some time but will probably fade with the next
generation...' Well here I am, almost two generations down the road and
prejudice is quite ensconced "STILL" in the American psyche.
Sad, but let us hope that those
who still hold on to their xenophobia and complete unfounded fears of anyone who
looks different from themselves. Will, at long last, get so fed up with the
status quo of the almighty greed and corporate powerbrokers, who use any tool
(whether it is detrimental to the wellbeing of the masses or not) to hold on to
their powers. Consequently, making them realize that they are just pawns to the
GREED GODS who keep the unknowledgeable ignorant with lies until they are of no
value. This realization or "awakening" will end the long reign of power by those
who only care about themselves. I can only dream.
