A question of perspective:

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin, what if things were switched around? Think about it.

Would the country's collective point of view be different?  Could racism be the culprit?

Ponder the following: 

You could easily add to this list.  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.

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.  You make the call.

This is not my original work, and I would love to give credit where it is due, but I cannot locate the original writer.  If anyone knows who it is, please let me know.  From what I have found, it has been forwarded and blogged by several people...

So, I figured I should join in; as this seems like an important message and really made me think.  I hope it does the same for others, as well.
