[Rhodes22-list] food for thought

[Peter Thorn]

WHAT IF

 

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 after she no longer


measured up to his standards?

 

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain 

killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Princeton?

 

What if Obama was one 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.

 

P.S. What if Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
