So, an acquaintance through WoW that is friends on MySpace informs me that if i don't vote for Obama, i am a racist. Hm... that requires a response.
If anyone votes for Obama merely because he is half-African American, that makes him or her a racist. Skin color is not a consideration for me when it comes to politics, if more African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans, etc., ran for politics, and if i agreed with their policies and record, i would vote for them. I'm not voting for Mark Udall, a white Democrat, because he is an idiot and is doing dangerous things in Congress, not to mention the fact that it's basically his fact that an energy bill hasn't been passed or even discussed because the day that it was voted to adjourn Congress he didn't show up (even though he promised that he would).
Anyway, i was hoping that Condie Rice would be McCain's VP choice, so obviously i am not anti-African American or racist. In fact, i greatly strive to be the opposite and am feeling very anti-Puritan atm because of what we are reading in American Literature.
