Subject: WHO IS QUALIFIED?/How Racism WorksDate: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:50:01 -0400
How Racism Works:
What if John
McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack
Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain were
still married to the first woman he said 'I do' to? What if Obama were the
candidate who left his first wife? What if Michelle Obama
were a wife who not only became addicted to painkillers, but acquired
them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama were a member of the 'Keating 5'?
What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
If these questions reflected reality, do you really
believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and
minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative
qualities in another when there is a color difference.
Don't forget: What if Barack Obama
had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter......
Subj: WHO IS QUALIFIED? If You were The Boss... which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care,
a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal
spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually
critical election year. Let's look at the educational background of the
candidates and see what they bring to the job: Obama: Occidental College -
Two years. Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization
in international relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude.
Biden: University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.) McCain: United
States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 out of 899 (meaning that McCain was at
the bottom of his class) Palin: Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester North
Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study University of Idaho - 2 semesters -
journalism Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester University of Idaho - 3
semesters - B.A. in journalism. QUESTION....Now, which team are you going to
hire to lead the most influential nation in the world?
