They use Obama as the face... but he's just as brown as I am. ^_^ And racism is never directed at only one person.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion McCain (especially McCain) and Palin should be ashamed of themselves and held accountable for what kind of base they have rallied. They have emphasized fear of the darkies, hatred of the Middle East, and all kinds of anger during their rallies. The kind of racism I have seen from the 35+ers in this country has been astounding. It's almost like they were holding it all in, just waiting for someone with just enough power and influence to tell them that it's okay to vocally and physically express their hatred and fear that the white people in America are inching closer and closer to 50% by the day.<BR/><BR/>Just saying. I'm pretty disgusted. I'm young and all but I have never seen such BLATANT racism before. And so many people backing up those views. And the candidate who has basically allowed those people to rally behind him is saying NOTHING. Or saying that he is "proud of the people who come to his rallies". <BR/><BR/>I don't know where he has been but the people who are going to his rallies and the people who are a) yelling "n*gger" at Palin rallies, b) hanging Obama effigies at colleges, c) comparing Obama to a monkey, d) refusing to hand out candy during Halloween to children whose parents are voting for Obama/Biden, e) call Obama a "terrorist" and yell "kill him!"... THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE!<BR/><BR/><3 yer daughterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
