It is amazing how many people who still think that blacks and minorities are treated unequally in this country, and even the fact of seeing a black man reach office, does not change their mind. Sometimes… its the unwillingness to change on both sides, that makes things hard.

Let’s hope that things get better…..

@Kima: I don’t believe that all people are somewhat racist deep inside – maybe most people, but not all…hey, I have to believe that. For me, politics has nothing to do with race, it’s all about ideology and perspective on how government should work or not work – nothing more, nothing less.

Personally, at this point, I don’t care who wins as I disagree with both of them lol! I hope the political system improves in your country. As much as I complain about American politics, it’s really great compared to many other places. I am so over politics, I won’t be writing much else about it…it stresses me out

I wanted to comment badly that day, remember I asked you if your blog was down on twitter? I could read everything from bloglines, but when I came here something was wrong. I couldn’t access the twitter image you have pasted here that day too.

I had a lot of stuff to say then, but now forgot what all I wanted to say Anyway I must say racism anywhere is ugly, and although psychologists have proven that all of us are at least a little bit racists deep inside, the power to let that reflect on our actions lies purely with us.

Back there the main problem you have is just black versus white when it comes to politics. Here in India it is BADDDDDD as politicians create a divide among those who are fair and dark, those who speak one regional language from the other, those who belong to one caste from another, etc etc… as each group constitute a major vote-bank.

I just wanted to say hi and here’s a hug!!:-))))

Unfortunately, some people allow these to have too much power over them. But thankfully, most people don’t. As we know, there’s a big difference between simply disagreeing with someone, and hating someone simply because they disagree with you.

Good post as always, my friend.

@Michelle: Yes you are…hahahaha!

@Jean: Interrogated? That’s what is happening in America. Free speech will probably end in America before long, much like in your country. The two candidates America has are power hungry and the worst possible choices we could possibly have. I will speak freely until they physically shit me up! Just to know you fear saying something upsets me! I wish your government allowed you to say what you want!

@Monavie: Well, I’m not on the fencepost. I’m voting for Chuck Baldwin of the constitution party because he’s the only one who believes in that great document upon which America was built. The fight between democrats and republicans is the WRONG fight! The fight is between freedom and an overpowered, corrupted government. I can only vote for someone who bases their political beliefs on the U.S. constitution. McCain and Obama apparently have never read it. You’re right, hatred is bad. Americans should realize they are being shoved in to a world of slavery, not freedom – and that is where the real fight is. Thanks for reading and you can rant here anytime you wish!

That is probably the best standspoint to have in this election. I’m with ya on the fence post, I don’t fully agree with either candidate. I just don’t think anyone is completely right with everything…plus who gets to decide what is “right”? Whether the new president is black or white, and the new VP is man or woman, I hope the best for them. I think there is a little bit of good in everyone and that either way, they will both do a good job with some things, and they’ll do some things I won’t like. I just try to stay out of politics. I got in a big heated discussion with someone (they were saying the same things that those guys said to you). It’s not worth arguing about. People shouldn’t have such violent hatred for people they don’t even know.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. There is how I feel with the upcoming election. It will be interesting, to say the least. Hope you’re doing good!

Well, i hope whoever wins at your side, no one will get hurt.
